Wiki Editing Tips

Adding SlideShare Slides

SlideShare is a site to share presentation slides (Duh!). It makes it easy by providing a flash based player in a browser for various presentation formats (e. g. PDF, OpenOffice.org Impress, MS PowerPoint). We've got "our own" group on SlideShare for NZPUG presentations here: http://www.slideshare.net/group/nzpug

These instructions show you how to use the SlideShare macro by Andreas Schreiber.

If you want to embed the flash presentation of slides into your web page do the following. I'm showing it with DarrylCousins's February 2008 presentation below:

• Copy and paste the snippet for a presentation on the SlideShare site into the wiki page. It's easiest to use the snippet labelled "Embed (wordpress.com)":

[slideshare id=286281&doc=python-eggs-zcbuildout-zopeproject-and-zope3-1204255592680173-3&w=425]

• Find the ID found in that snippet. The ID is everything within the square brackets after the "id=". You can omit the final width parameter &w=425 in the ID (but it doesn't hurt if you keep it):

286281&doc=python-eggs-zcbuildout-zopeproject-and-zope3-1204255592680173-3

• Embed that ID into the SlideShare macro where you want the presentation to be embedded:

<<SlideShare(286281&doc=python-eggs-zcbuildout-zopeproject-and-zope3-1204255592680173-3)>>

The result will look like this:
