Should some slideshow options be embedded in the notebook? about rise HOT 14 CLOSED

I agree... I thought about this before... we should find a way to provide the user with a nice UI in the notebook to config a lot of things... probably the notebook metadata is the place to embed this info... maybe under a slideshow_config key, or something else...

from rise.

Currently, what is the startup file responsible for theme configuration? I tried adding the code in the README under the .ipython/profile_julia/startup/ directory but it didn't work. I think it's being executed before RISE, is that correct?

from rise.

You only need to run the snippet of code in the README once... with a python kernel... or in any python interpreter (we prefer ipython ;-). This will generate a JSON file in your default profile which stores the config you want, check .ipython/profile_default/nbconfig/livereveal.json

So you have to be aware that:

1. Use the default profile of modify the snippet to store the config in your desired profile (you can pass a profile parameter to the ConfigManager)
2. You could potentially write the snippet in Julia to write the needed config file, but it is easy just to use the python one...

Hope it helps and let me know if you need more assistance...

@damianavila, thank you for the clarification. The file is created under .ipython/profile_default/nbconfig/livereveal.json but I cannot see any change when using the Python kernel and default IPyhon profile.

I passed a profile parameter to the ConfigManager but it doesn't affect the files under .ipython/profile_julia/. What I'm doing wrong?

from rise.

I think you need to pass it a path to profile_dir instead of just a profile name. We're getting rid of named profiles when we split the notebook parts to the name Jupyter anyway.

Thanks @takluyver, I'm waiting for this transition to happen. The thing is that even for the Python kernel, the theme change is not taking effect.

How are you starting the notebook? If you're running it with the julia profile, it won't load any config from the default profile. Kernels do not affect this.

from rise.

I'm starting the notebook as usual with ipython notebook assuming the default reveal.js themes are installed somewhere.

I can confirm the livereveal.json is under the profile_default/nbconfig directory.

from rise.

Can you post the content of the livereveal.json file?

from rise.

Sure, the content is:

{
  "theme": "black",
  "start_slideshow_at": "selected"
}

from rise.

Well, can you try with other theme like sky or serif, the black themes are not compatible with RISE yet beceause of conflicting css between reveal.js css and ipython css...

from rise.

from rise.

All the "whity" ones (simple, sky, serif, etc) should work without major problems... the "darker" ones needs probably some custom css to make them work...
