Is there a plugin to turn a tiddly wiki into a presentation?

(like Keynote, Powerpoint, etc.)

I can imagine a having a tiddlers tagged as "slide" containing
a "next slide" point and a "start slide" (or a tiddler with a list of topics)
Cheers

/Joe

Hi Joe
There’s a few solutions that I know of:

https://tiddlywiki.com/talkytalky is a simple scrolling presentation with a “next slide” button at the top left

https://jermolene.com/talkytalky is more hypertext-y: click the links to advance to the next slide (there’s also a little button at the top right to open the speaker notes in a separate window)


I’ve also experimented with using the https://revealjs.com/ framework with TiddlyWiki:


(the same content is rendered to https://federatial.com/  as a “static” website (there’s actually a small bit of JS to funk up the scrolling))

There may well be other options too,

Best wishes

Jeremy.


Cheers

/Joe

I will add, if you have a 2 screen setup an index of tiddlers in a tiddler eg; table of contents opened in a new window, with the browser tab in fullscreen mode and sidevar tabs closed you effectivly have a presentation.

Jan,

I really like your Slidesnstories - is there any way in its current setup to set each slide a particular color value, like #B2421F   for example?

I saw this:

<sli01>You can apply special styles to an entire slide</sli01><sli02> or to steps of a slide.<<| red>></sli02>



but I can't figure out how to customize that in any way.

also, I tried putting an image in a folder called "I" and calling it up in a tiddler with '<<InImage "myImage.jpg">>' and put that filename in the field "img", but its not working.  

this method

<img src="file:///home/david/Downloads/outOfEgypt.jpg" style="height:200px;">

does work though, so I can use that, but the relative linking thing would be good to use.

Hello Dave,
The imagefolder i is planned for a two level folder system which is adressed in the fields "seminar" and "thema" showing where a tiddler belongs and retrieves its data. Not very practical, I admit. I have to think for something more adaptable but this may take some time.

The color is determined by two tiddlers:
$:/plugins/JR/slides/ColorSwitcher and $:/plugins/JR/slides/Color which contains a stylesheets that are transcluded.
You may use these to adapt the presenter to your desires.

Your Jan

Thank you - I'll give that a try.  Thank you for making this!  I especially appreciate the keyboard slide advance and the incremental reveals of parts of slides without changing the whole slide :)

I can find $:/plugins/JR/slides/ColorSwitcher which I believe is for the button that allows you to switch colors by clicking a button (its in the explanatory presentation)

but for some reason "$:/plugins/JR/slides/Color" is not in there.  When I do an advanced search for that tiddler, this one comes up:

$:/plugins/JR/Presenter

but that seems to be a plugin, not a stylesheet.  Any suggestion?  Obviously the mechanism is in place somewhere as the following switch to red in the slide "Slidestyles" does work

<sli01>You can apply special styles to an entire slide</sli01><sli02> or to steps of a slide.<<| #red>></sli02>

I searched for "$:/tags/Stylesheet red", but the only thing that comes up is "$:/plugins/JR/slides/StyleSheet" which doesn't seem to be applicable.

Hi Dave,
it is a great pleasure to hear your compliments, it seem that apart from Thomas who helped me realizing this you are the third person to use it...
You can't see $:/plugins/JR/slides/Color because it is are shadow-tiddlers. You have to switch advanced search to shadow to see them.
The other tiddler is called $:/slidestyle/red

Sorry to be a pest, but I think I need a little more help

I made this tiddler [[$:/slidestyle/blugrey]]
.slidewrapper {
    background-color:#6986A0;
    color: white;
}

and tagged it "slidestyle", and then changed the tiddler [[Slidestyles]] to
<sli01>You can apply special styles to an entire slide</sli01><sli02> or to steps of a slide.<<| #blugrey>></sli02>

but when I launch the presentation to that slide it just remains black


What am I doing wrong?

you can see the color I'm going for here:
http://www.color-hex.com/color/6986a0

(I also tried the slidewrapper tiddler without the "#" before the number but that didn't help)

Thanks again,
Dave

Hi Dave,
try without # just
<sli02> or to steps of a slide.<<| blugrey>></sli02>

It worked for me...

cheers

Thanks so much!

How do you set a color for the entire set of slides in one tiddler?

If I have this in a tiddler:
<sli01><<| light7>>The rain in spain</sli01>
<sli02>falls mainly on the plain</sli02><sli03>and then all the flowers bloom</sli03>

and field "keep" as "02"

then the first 2 slices that appear on the same slide are "light7" in color, and the 3rd slice on the next slide is black (default).

Is there a way to set the color and have it last a whole multi-slice, multi slide tiddler? (e.g. to the 10th slide with "keep" set at "02 04 06 08")  No big deal if you can't - just wondering

Hi Dave and everybody...
Sorry, this is not programmed yet... but it shold be possible:
Inducing a transclusion of a $:/slidestyle/myFieldStyle tiddler which is referred to by a field into the presentationtemplate $:/plugins/JR/slides/Wrapper.

Well I tried a bit and could not get it to work...
Can anyone tell where I it is spoiled?


<$list filter='[{$:/HistoryList!!current-tiddler}has[style]]'>
<$set name="slidestyle" value={{!!style}}>
<style>
{{$:/slidestyle/$(slidestyle)$}}
</style>
</$set>
</$list>


Thanks a lot...

Hello all, 

Here is my latest attempt to solve the challenge of presenting from a tiddlywiki: this is built on Jeremy's talkytalky, but adds the functionality of setting the bg color of slides from the palette, and also shows the slides as tiddlers in a more familiar way. there is a small bug right now that I haven't figured out so the last slide is the focus slide, rather than the first slide. And someday I'll put this into a plugin for ease of use.
