Building series navigation

[eliottkalfon]

Description

Hi all, I am trying to get navigation within a series of article to work. Including page-navigation: true in my _quarto.yml file did not do anything. I was wondering if this was linked to overwriting the footer, but removing it did not do much either.

here is my _quarto.yml config:

project:
  type: website
  render:
    - "*.qmd"
    - "!resources/"

website:
  title: "Eliott Kalfon"
  page-navigation: true
  navbar:
    right:
      - text: "Home"
        href: index.qmd
      - text: "Blog"
        menu:
          - text: "All Posts"
            href: posts/index.qmd
          - text: "Algorithms"
            href: posts/#category=Algorithms
          - text: "Engineering"
            href: posts/#category=Engineering
          - text: "Books"
            href: posts/#category=Books
          - text: "Blogging"
            href: posts/#category=Blogging
      - text: "About"
        href: about.qmd
      - text: "Contact"
        href: contact.qmd
  page-footer: |

    series:

resources:

include-in-header: favicon.html

pagetitle: "{{< meta title >}}"`

and here some sample article metadata

From the documentation: https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-navigation.html#page-navigation

If you have a website with several pages in a section or subsection, it is often convenient to offer the user the ability to navigate to the next page (or previous page) at the bottom of the page that they’ve just finished reading.

You don't have section/sidebar.

Thanks @mcanouil , following this page I added page-navigation:true, without success. Do you mean that I need a section/side bar for this navigation to appear?

[mcanouil]

Yes, that's what the documentation says: "If you have a website with several pages in a section or subsection".

See the custom listing page: https://quarto.org/docs/guide/
It has section/subsection/sidebar.

Thanks @mcanouil I am still not understanding how to create this series from individual articles.

I would have to create the sidebar for an article, that would connect all the articles of my series together. Is that correct?

Thanks for your patience!

[mcanouil]

You need to create the sidebar and its content, see https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-navigation.html.
Possibly hybrid navigation have the same sidebar as navbar (and vice versa).

Ok, thanks a lot, so this may not be the right solution for a 4 parts article series, could be more appropriate to book or catalogue content
