Setup

edit

Download

edit

The source code now lives on Github:

See full feature list and usage information on extension homepage: http://wiki.4intra.net/S5SlideShow (English), http://wiki.4intra.net/S5SlideShow/ru (Russian).

This extension is similar to TooooOld's S5 extension (it was somewhere on this wiki, but now probably is removed), but it's far more advanced.

Installation

edit

PHP DOM extension is required.

After the download and copy of the files, add the following line to your LocalSettings.php. 

// headingmark attribute default value
$egS5SlideHeadingMark = false;
// incmark attribute default value
$egS5SlideIncMark = '(step)';

require_once( "$IP/extensions/S5SlideShow/S5SlideShow.php" );

Getting started

edit

The tag <slideshow></slideshow> is used to allow to generate a link for the display of the slideshow. 

<slideshow style="custis" headingmark="⌘⌘" incmark="…" scaled="true" font="Comic Sans MS, Calibri, cursive" >
;title: Let's start
;author: Vitaliy Filippov
</slideshow>
Attribute Description
style 7 skins are available "out-of-the-box": blue, default, custis, nobook, flower, yatil, pixel. You can also create your own styles using wiki pages. See further information on the website [1].
headingmark The extension searches for this character sequence inside all headings (== Just a simple MediaWiki heading like this ==), and if found, it maps the heading to a slide in the slide show mode. If the heading includes this substring then it will be a slide. If the headingmark attribute value is empty, no MediaWiki headings will be mapped to slides, only <slides> tags.
Example: ; headingmark: Slide:.
incmark A similar character sequence that identifies «step-by-step» slides. Step-by-step means that if there are any lists (ordered # or unordered *) on the slide, they will be shown grayed, and with each mouse or Enter key click, the next list item will be highlighted.
centermark This sequence is used to center the slide content without removing the heading.
scaled If this attribute’s value is 1, true or yes (case insensitive), then all slides' content is scaled automatically to fit the screen. Images, including SVG ones, are scaled too, and will always have size "relative" to the font size. This is not the basic S5 ability, but an our feature.
author Slide show author (for the first (title) slide). Can contain Wiki markup.
title Slide show title. Can contain Wiki markup.
subtitle Slide show subtitle (for the title slide). Can contain Wiki markup.
subfooter A string displayed in page footer on each slide. Can contain Wiki markup. Also, the word {{date}} is special inside it — it is replaced with last article edit timestamp.

Changes
