Hi,
I've been using ox-deck to export my lectures as slides. Internet
connectivity in one of my lecture halls is a little unreliable, so I
keep a local copy of deck.js (which contains js and css files) on my
laptop. Without those files, the slideshow just exports as plain
HTML.
I would like to provide those lectures on the web for my students.
(Ideally, in fact, I would like to provide a couple of versions of
each lecture: one deck slideshow, one plain html, and maybe one pdf
or odt version.) Howver, the deck publish ocmmand writes paths to the
local copies of deck's css and js files. I would like to rewrite these
paths in the published files, to use the version of deck on my server
instead.
So, my question: how can I rewrite those paths when I publish? I
guess there are two possible ways:
- defadvice on org-deck-publish-to-html?
- use a :completion-function on the project definition?
But honestly I have no experience with writing defadvices, and I am
not sure how the completion-function is supposed to work (like, what
arguments it takes).
If anyone has done something similar, I would be be very grateful to
hear about it! Thanks,
Matt

IIUC, you can use something like this in your file:
#+DECK_BASE_URL: http://some/server/url.js

Ooops, forgot to send to the list! Forwarding my last reply to
Bastien, and then answering my own question below, sort of:

I found an easy way around my problem, by writing my own trivial
publishing function:
-----------------------
(defun mwp-org-deck-publish-to-html (plist filename pub-dir)
"Publish an org file to deck.js HTML Presentation.
FILENAME is the filename of the Org file to be published. PLIST
is the property list for the given project. PUB-DIR is the
publishing directory. Returns output file name."
(let ((org-deck-base-url "http://sandbox.hackinghistory.ca/Tools/deck.js/"))
(org-publish-org-to 'deck filename ".html" plist pub-dir))
)
-----------------------
Then I just set :org-publishing-function to
mwp-org-deck-publish-to-html, and I'm all set.
There are doubtless more elegant ways to do this but this will do for
now. Now I just need to figure out a better way to manage images -- I
like to keep them all in the same place, and I need to keep my course
lectures in different directories, so it would be nice to be able to
use absolute file links. But there's probably a way around that as
well. For now I'm pretty happy!
Thanks again,
matt
