Extension talk:Presentation

thanks guy for all your extensions.


 * Nice!

split deprecated
Are you still maintaining this? I get these errors when using this extension:

Deprecated: Function split is deprecated in /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/Presentation.php on line 66 Deprecated: Function split is deprecated in /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/Presentation.php on line 219

I just replaced split with explode and those errors go away.

Thank you

Next slide doesn't work
MediaWiki 1.14: selecting a next article (forward button or menu) doesn't has any effect. Cause: article name contains a ' (e.g. thema's) After changing the name, the extension was working very nice.-Bert

Problem with article title
Using article title such as "Brilliant Business Connections, Kay F (2005)", the title is been broken into different sections such as "Brilliant Business Connections" and "Kay F (2005)" and therefore does not work for already existing title with that structure.

Further creating a title link with the interlink "[[" will be followed by a fatal crash.

Navigation errors
When using the dropdown menu or the errors to navigate, the extension takes you to a blank page that says '''Object Moved. This document may be found here. But, once you click the here''' link you are sucessfully back at the presentation with the correct page displayed. Can this be corrected?

Thank you in advance!

Slides could have a prefix
Without it we cannot have different slides with the same title (eg. Summary). It would be nice if the slides were searched as a subpage of the presentation name, like MyPresentation/Summary, MyPresentatio/Whatever etc

Only works in the Main Namespace
 User:Cornetl/testarea/test1, User:Cornetl/testarea/test2  User:Cornetl/testarea/test1, User:Cornetl/testarea/test2, Loading system, Differential analysis
 * 1) I tested this out in a subpage of my user page (User:cornetl/testarea/present) and found that only the first slide would show. The pages that were referenced are in the Main Namespace.
 * 2) I then tested with pages that were in the User Namespace (root page with and referenced pages both in the User Namespace). I had to add the 'User:' qualifier to them, but this only brought up the first slide again no matter which slide I picked.
 * 1) Then when I moved the root page into the main Namespace it worked. This included referenceing pages in Main and User.

I think there is a current limitation that the page with the tags must be in the Main Namespace.

Doesn't work with Safari and Apple browser
I tested this extension in IE and Firefox = OK, wonderfull ! In Safari (Iphone and Macbook) = I can only access to the main view

Add possibility to give a caption in the combo box
Great & useful extension!

Would be even greater if you add the possibility to add a caption for each page such as

 page1 | caption for page 1, page2 | caption for page 2, page 3 with no caption needed, ...

Starting with last slide
It would have been nice to be able to set the initial slide to the last one. If each slide represents past events, then this is best organised with the most current event at the end.

Parsing inside tag
This is a great extension. I was wondering what it would take to allow for parsing inside the presentation tag. For instance, to create a presentation with a pre-determined set of pages from a template, so using something like to create a presentation from that. Alternatively, using DPL inside presentation could also plausibly work if it didn't break the presentation parsing, which it does now. For instance, using . This could allow for rapid creation of presentations without having to tediously select each page you want for very large or large numbers of presentations. Thorncrag   21:27, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
