PresentIt!
PresentIt! is a free module for the Roxen Web Server. It allows easy
creation and formatting of slideshows and presentations without the
need to program custom CGI scripts.
Please remember that this is a work in progress. Your comments and
suggestions are appreciated. Click here to send your comments to me,
the developer.
If you find this module useful, I'd greatly appreciate a postcard (or
cookies:) ) from you letting me know you're out there. My address is
included in the LICENSE file in the distribution.
More documentation will be arriving as I get the time. Please be
patient, as I'm kept rather busy by my job!
New Version! (v1.0) February 3, 1998
What's new in Version 1.0:
* PresentIt! 1.0 is designed to work with Roxen 1.2 only.
Requirements
* Roxen 1.2 or higher.
Getting PresentIt!
* Download the latest version of PresentIt! with Documentation
(v1.0) Roxen 1.2 and above.
Installing PresentIt!
Using MailIt! is simple! Just download the archive, then unpack it by
using the following command:
tar -zxvf presentit-1.0.tar.gz
You should get a directory called presentit-1.0. Inside that directory
is a file called presentit.pike. Copy that file to your Roxen modules
directory, under roxen/server/modules or ../local/modules. Then you
can use the Configuration Interface to add the PresentIt! module.
That's all there is to it! You can now start using the features of the
PresentIt! module.
Using PresentIt!
There are 2 components of a working PresentIt! application:
* The PresentIt! Module (you've already installed it)
* A PresentIt! Template Page
The PresentIt! Template
The PresentIt! Template is simply an HTML file that includes
PresentIt! tags. The two tags that are provided by PresentIt! are:
<presentit> </presentit> and <mfield>
The first tag tells PresentIt! that you are going to create a
presentation. Everything outside the presentit tags will be returned
to the browser surrounding the presentation.
The presentit container takes the following attributes:
HOME="HomeURL"
Lets you specify the URL to jump to when the presentation is
exited. This attribute is mandatory.
FORWARD="ImageURL"
Lets you specify the URL of an image to use instead of the
default GTEXT control for moving forward.
BACKWARD="ImageURL"
Lets you specify the URL of an image to use instead of the
default GTEXT control for moving backward in the presentation.
QUIT="ImageURL"
Lets you specify the URL of an image to use instead of the
default GTEXT control for exiting the presentation.
The second tag, SLIDE tells PresentIt! about the slides to use
in the presentation. You can include these tags inside the
presentit container to build presentations.
The slide container takes the following attribute:
name="Slide Name"
The name of the slide. This is displayed above the slide
description text and is optional.
src="ImageURL"
The graphic to display in the slide box.
The contents of the container will be displayed below the image
as a slide description.
You can put any RXML tags within the slide container.
