Modifying beamer frames to include frame numbers

[Pushbike Paul]

Dear Latex group

I am using the Warsaw style in beamer, and would like to add the frame
number to the footline without having to redefine the footline. Any
help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

Just put this line into the preamble:

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]

that does not work: you get the page number, but now you do not have
the footline of the theme you are using.
I am actually having the same problem.
Does anybody know a solution to it?
thanks

Sorry, I assumed that would work without testing it. Here's a solution
that I have tested that works (my Warsaw theme only has a left/author
and right/title footline):

If you want the slide number on the 'author' side of your slide
footer, then
\author[\insertframenumber/\inserttotalframenumber \hspace{2em} Foo
Bar \& Who Cares]{%
Foo Bar \and Who Cares
}
or if you want the slide number on the 'title' side of your slide
footer, then
\title[document title \hspace{2em} \insertframenumber/
\inserttotalframenumber]{%
Here is my real document title
}

Depending on your setup (specifically the length of your 'short
author' and 'short title' definitions), the following my also work
\useoutertheme{infolines}
However, I found the manual approach mentioned above to be sufficient.

Hope this helps,
Werner
