If you want to embed your interactive map to a website (e.g., Wordpress) consider using the tag (www.tutorialrepublic.com/html-tutorial/html-s.php).

Hey AnthroYeti, greetings from Brazil! I need to integrate a PostgreSQL database with a webpage automate a process to clip images, and I was needing a website with Google Hybrid default page, with coordinates and this method is the perfect for me. Thank you.

[@anachromancer7005]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. As someone closer to the social sciences and with almost zero knowledge in programming, this tutorial was really helpful.

[@ArchaeoSquatch]

Thank you! I'm so glad it proved useful! :)

[@GabiCalderon18]

you helped me create my first interactive map! Thank you!!!

[@ArchaeoSquatch]

That's awesome! Glad the video helped!

[@agbotiedohrene7555]

Thanks

[@math1102]

Thanks so much for this tutorial man! Saved my life (job)

[@ArchaeoSquatch]

Excellent! Glad the video helped! :)

[@randymarsh244]

thanks fot the tutorial, i understand that leaflet handles better geographic data if its compiled on Geojson, is there a diference if you build the web map only using the shape files?

[@ArchaeoSquatch]

Not 100% sure what you mean, but it should work fine. I think you can try it, and worse case, try it the other way! :)

I have also added qgis dashboard to it but when I added the qgis dashboard package, it can't show up or convert to web map, have no clue why. Any suggestion or how can I share it.

[@arcmohamedossama]

I'm facing the same issue, did you find a solution for creating a dashboard on a web map?

[@Lieti]

Thx, perfect! (I'm working with cultural heritage in central Europe). What are limits of this approach on github?

[@ArchaeoSquatch]

So, the main limit is a 100mb size limit per file in GitHub. This can cause some issues with large raster datasets and the like. Fortunately, the QGIS2Web plugin does a good job of reducing file size in many instances. There are ways around this restriction, but I've not explored them yet. :)

[@Lieti]

@@ArchaeoSquatch Than looking forward for results of exploration ;)

[@rustyPotato01]

Is it possible to host a temporal layer, i.e, a play button, stop button (layer made using Time Manager plugin)?

[@ArchaeoSquatch]

I have not used that plugin yet, but my first guess is that the functionality is not going to be exported with the map export plugin.
