I create a presentation named Foo

showoff create Foo

cd into the directory and start showoff

cd Foo
showoff serve

I didn`t touch anything in the default slide.

!SLIDE 
# My Presentation #

!SLIDE bullets incremental
# Bullet Points #

* first point
* second point
* third point

Now i open a presenter on localhost:9090/presenter.
It opens with the Slide "My Presentation". After pressing SPACE and advancing to the next slide "Bullet points" pressing SPACE doesn´t work anymore. I can´t show the bulletpoints.

Even if i insert a slide after the "Bulltetpoint" slide, it does not advance.
I tried this on Mac OSX 10.9.2 with Firefox, Safari and Chrome.

Opening localhost:9090 (without presenter) shows everything as expected and incremental bulletpoints do work.

Opening localhost:9090 (as follower of a presenter) does not work in this context, because the presenter stucks.

Opening the presenter and a slave window also is woking odd. I can navigate the slave window, it does change the presenter and followers, but if the slave window shows bullets incremental, these are neither shown in the presenter nor in the following windows. After all bullets are shown and the slave advances to a new slide, this slide is shown in the presenter and the followers.

Is there anything I can do, to get the presenter working correct ?

To make notes work in my presentation, I used

<div class="notes">blah blah notes</div>

And handouts as follows:

<div class="handouts">handout handout handout</div>

I suspect there is a cleaner way of doing this! :)

The style selector we got from OG doesn't work at all in Firefox. Make it work.

A high-contrast (or rather, light text on dark background) theme for the slides, and a means to switch to it using a keyboard shortcut, would be a useful feature.

Sometimes a slide is referenced in more than one place in the json file. When that happens, the slide numbering in the presenter view is not handled properly.

In Ruby 1.9, this method fails because there is no .each operator on a string.

Our fork has this little timer widget in the upper left of the presenter view. You enter a number of minutes and hit start. The timer widget turns red when it expires...

But what's it for? How's it intended to be different from the built in p for pause functionality?

I ask partly because it's not implemented well, whatever it's supposed to do, and I'd like to update it to be useful.

Happy to provide copies of the .md (but it's pretty basic!)

function get_image_size(path), specifically.

Inline styles added to .notes or .handouts, etc are simply stripped.

Hi,

I'm getting this error when launching showoff

NameError - uninitialized constant EventMachine::WebSocket::HandlerFactory:

Running showoff (0.9.6.1) pulled from commit fc7d95f

Students should not be able to access the presenter notes

Prevent slide from displaying in onepage view. This will likely need a new /print endpoint.

On some linux machines, students sending feedback displays a File write error. Reported by @raphink

We need page numbers, titles etc.

Top [ left, center, right ]
Bottom [ left, center, right ]

Page number.
section title,
course name,
copyright info

These are not blocking 1.0, but if I have time post content creation or in disconnected "down" time, then I'll work on them.

The slide deck should have the capability of embedding quiz slides into the deck. The students would be following along on their laptops and when we hit a quiz slide, they'd submit answers. This would help me as the instructor to gauge how well they're picking up the material and wether pace needs to be adjusted or topics need to be revisited.

A database of the answers would be part of the deliverables after the presentation.

We have a handler that was intended for generating the exercise & solutions guide from the same source. Right now we need to be careful that the guide and the slides are in sync. I'd like to get to the point where we can generate everything from the one source.

The onepage and printed PDF output need to have a built in table of contents that's linked to the sections.

On my Firefox browser, the notes area, the "Update followers" button, the "enable remote" and zoom slider don't exist.

Note, however, that it does work with Rekonq (the default browser for KDE based distributions) and Chromium

Removing the viewstats.json file while showoff is running causes this error to show in the logs when showoff is quit:

/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/showoff-0.9.7/lib/showoff.rb:1000:in `write': No such file or directory - stats/viewstats.json (Errno::ENOENT)

It's super sloppy how the configuration is parsed. Revamp.

Text containing smart quotes was pasted into the presentation. I replaced it with the proper ’ html entity. To my gob smacking surprise, it had no effect on the end result. Is showoff and/or the markdown engine converting it internally?

Filing this to remind myself to come back to it later.

Some browsers (cough, cough, chrome) do icky things with automatically opened windows. For example, the url bar & tab bar, etc. are disabled so you can't really use that window. Windows opened as a result of a user click are treated like normal windows.

To work around this, Showoff should not automatically pop up a window, but should require you to click the slave window button.

I have tried this with Firefox, Chromium and Rekonq.

All of these have a white box with no images on, and a grey box in the bottom left corner showing a countdown timer.

Checking the access logs created in the console shows that the images aren't being loaded, and using the web developer tools suggests that there's no content in the pre-show div either.

Happy to have the documentation updated, or I can raise a pull request with updated docs, if someone will point me in the right direction for where to put the files?

Found that the application would fail with the following error when you used thin gem 2.0.0.pre, but when you downgrade to thin version 1.3.1 things work fine.

Presenters keep getting the wrong images showing up. Add some cache busting to avoid that.

@abuxton suggests that

1. A presenter should be able to mark off questions as answered
2. When an audience member asks a question, they should have a visual indication that their question exists in the queue and should be notified when the presenter marks it as answered.

Hi,

I work with this repository: https://github.com/blackheaven/git-intro-if
My gems are:

blankslate (2.1.2.4)
bluecloth (2.2.0)
bundler (1.2.3)
curb (0.8.3)
gli (2.5.3)
json (1.7.6)
nokogiri (1.5.6)

pdfkit (0.5.2)
rack (1.4.2)

I have a problem: my images are too big.
Is there a way to resize them?

For help,
Thanks by advance.

Make it pluggable so it's not completely tied to our setup, but this might be something to think about.

http://code.google.com/p/redmine-post-link-plugin/

If it's reasonable, we should have a code validator for all @@@ code blocks.

See discussion at https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16613

Allow the user to customize the keymap via a .showoffrc or similar. Also, clean up the keystroke handling.

We currently have multiple layers of processing for markdown, html entities, etc. This need to go away so we don't have to double, triple escape, and cross our fingers and hope nothing blows up.

http://dmauro.github.io/Keypress/

refactor to use legit Sinatra request routing instead of calling user provided methods. Eek.

The students should be able to report anonymous feedback about class pace.

When visiting http://localhost:9090/presenter for a Showoff presentation, there is a Table Of Contents listing and a slide progress counter on the left-hand side of the presenter's view.

Bug: When clicking on any of the slides in the TOC, the progress indicator changes to "NaN/255 - Nan%" and the URL visits the #NaN anchor tag, which jumps to the first slide. The presentation controls (arrows or clicking) are then broken until the page is refreshed.

This should have the ability to detach and run as a daemon. This necessitates a showoff stop command too.

@abuxton suggests that questions asked be saved in some form. This facilitates presentation followup, as the presenter can collect these questions, annotate them with answers and/or links to documentation and email them around.

Simplest solution would be to just dump them into a text file, but I want to put some more thought into a possibly more elegant solution.

These look useful.

• http://code.google.com/p/jquery-websocket/
• https://github.com/simulacre/sinatra-websocket

write proper grammars that parse all puppet code correctly.
Known fail cases:

• Class::Resource['title']
• <<||>>

Add yaml highlighting

When called with a command line option, the slide out toolbar should have an Edit on GitHub button that would allow reviewers to quickly correct issues and submit pull requests.

If access the presenter mode from Firefox, and Chrome if puppets are allowed, the window showing the slides opens, which repeatedly opens another copy of itself.

This is a never ending loop.

https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet

Ideally there would be an indicator on the main slide window that a question has been asked.
