Problem with deploy to standalone webserver

[marcodelmastro]

Hi there,
I was giving jekyll-academic a try, and I think I stumbled upon a bug. I would like to deploy the server to a standalone web server (i.e. not host it on a github page), but I cannot visualise the site properly, regardless of what baseurl and/or url setting I add to my _config.yml file. I think the problem is related to the theme making heavy use of:

site.github.url

instead of anything like

site.baseurl

or any siting with

{{ | prepend site.baseurl }}

Is this a know/wanted feature? Or am I doing something wring? Otherwise it'd be nice to change the .html files and to add the baseurl and url settings, that I guess could indeed also point to a github page if/when needed.

Thanks, M.

Hello,

Right now it is a known feature. We primarily use this template in a workshop that uses GitHub pages to host the site. I will take a closer look at some of the options in the next couple of days and see about reverting that change, or adding a config option that allows use on standalone hosts. I'll let you know once we have made any changes. If you need to make changes sooner than later you can replace all instances of site.github.url with site.baseurl and add baseulr: to the config file and it should let you deploy it to a standalone server.

Thanks,
Todd
