Create a slideshow from the content of a wiki page

Plugin Slide Show

This Tiki feature allows users to use the content of a Wiki Page to create a slideshow (presentation). Introduced in Tiki7 and improved later, the feature was Revamped in Tiki19 and a complementary plugin, the SlideShowSlide plugin was added to allow fine tuning per slide.



Plugin Slideshow is an existing Tiki Plugin to create a slideshow of a page. The Plugin was updated in the Tiki 19.0 and now has moved on to use Reveal.js. The PluginSlideShow is now more powerful than ever before. It has better transitions and control over individual slides.

Admin Settings

Go to Admin Control Panels and search for "Slideshow" and enable the Slideshow features mentioning Reveal.js the updated Slideshow component.

 Change of behavior from Tiki26
From Tiki26 it is possible to set precisely the Heading level from which will be created the slide with the parameter "headingLevelSlideSeparator". However this addition changed the default behavior when this parameter is not set to use only H1. As previously it was set from H1 to H3, if you need, add the "headingLevelSlideSeparator" with a value of 3 (for headings3)

Tiki Page to a Slideshow

The Plugin Slideshow converts a Tiki page to a slide show , every H1, H2, and H3 tag starts a new slide.

First, you must create a new Wiki page and save it. You can name it as you wish.
See Wiki and Using Wiki Pages for more information about wiki pages.
After creating the page, add the sections to it, each section must start with either an H1, H2 or H3 tag since each H1, H2 or H3 tag is the beginning of a new slide.
This is an example of a page with four H1 tags, each of which is a slide, the overview and code of which are shown below.

Different behaviour for each slide

The slideShow plugin allow a global configuration for the slides behaviour or design (all slide will look and do the same). In case you need to specify options or design element per slide You can use the (PluginSlideshowSlide|SlideShowSlide plugin)).


Use this wiki plugin to configure a Slideshow in Tiki from the content of the wiki page using the headings in it. It extends the existing wiki page slideshow with notes & styles.

1.1. Setup

You need to enable it by means of marking these two checkboxes:

  1. "Settings > Control Panels > Wiki > Features > Slideshow"
  2. "Settings > Control Panels> Editing and plugins > Plugins > Slideshow"

1.1.1. Avoid images being resized and relocated

This s5 slideshow engine in Tiki resizes and relocates images automagically by default, in order to allow quickly show content, and a small thumbnail of the image at the upper right corner of the slide.

If you prefer to have the image shown at its original size and position, you can add the parameter class="fixedSize" to your img call. Example:

This code would show the image as a small thumnail in the upper right corner of the slide:


code to allow resizing and relocating the image
Copy to clipboard
{img src="display2" rel="box[g]" width="500"}


 
But this code would allow the image to be shown at the original size of 500px and at the same position where this code was written.

code to keep original size and position
Copy to clipboard
{img src="display2" rel="box[g]" width="500" class="fixedSize"}

 

1.1.2. Tutorial

See this presentation as example, create with the JQuery S5 Slideshow Feature in Tiki7 in a localhost, and then converted into pdf in a later stage, as seen here:
http://ueb.ir.vhebron.net/UseR+2011

1.1.2.1. Source Wiki page

This is the wiki page created in the local tiki site:


Identify these 3 areas, since they are specially relevant and take different roles when the page is shown as a slideshow:

(1) Wiki page title
(2) First section between headings
(3) Second Section between headings

1.1.2.1.1. Title of the wiki page

In this case, this is "2011 UseR"

1.1.2.1.2. First section between headings

First section between headings of levels 1 to 3 (of level 2 in the case shown at the previous screenshot (created with standard !! syntax).

Limited text is added here since this first heading and its content until the next heading will be used as a footer for the presentation when in slideshow mode.

1.1.2.1.3. Second section between headings

Second section between headings, of second level in this case (created with standard !! syntax). This will be used as the entry point for the presentation.

At this point, you click at the "slideshow" button that will show up in the bottom of the wiki page, which will lead you to an url similar tiki-slideshow.php

1.1.2.2. Second slide used as official presentation of the slideshow

As seen in the previous slideshow, a few areas can be recognized from the source wiki page:

(2) First section between headings
(3) Second Section between headings

1.1.2.2.1. Wiki page title

"2011 UseR" is the text shown in the top bar of the browser (not seen in the previous screenshot)

Content of the first heading is shown as footer in the slideshow for all slides.

1.1.2.2.3. Second Section between headings
