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.

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

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.

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.

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"

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:

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:

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)

1.1.2.2.2. First section between headings

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

1.1.2.2.3. Second Section between headings

Content of the second heading can be used as a normal presentation of the slideshow. Next headings will be used as indicators of new slides.

Control bar at the bottom

When you pass your mouse over the footer of any slide, a control bar will be shown at the footer instead:

In this bar you will find some buttons and controls that will allow you to manage the play, forward, reverse, etc. of the presentation, plus a few other things:

(4). Slideshow Theme style
(5). Notes
(6). Slide list for quick jumps
(7). Close the presentation and back to wiki page
(8). (Missing in screenshot). Since Tiki9, there is also an option to generate a PDF from the presentation (if the experimental feature is enabled).

1.1.2.2.4. Slideshow Theme style

You can change the theme style for the presentation ( redmond style shown in the previous screenshot).

1.1.2.2.5. Notes

You can show the notes for the slides, that will appear in a spare browser window, so that when used in a multi-monitor environment, they can be shown in the local monitor while the presentation is shown in the public screen.

1.1.2.2.6. Slide list for quick jumps

You show the slide list, which allows you to click in any of them and jump into it straight away.
