Rise: Adding header or footer to slides

[nigeljyng]

Is there any way to add a header or footer to every slide? Other than hacking the source code.

Thanks for the great work, Damian.

pinging @fpliger :wink: he did some work on this, but not sure if he abstracted the thing enough to make a PR (I hope so...)

[fpliger]

Ah.. I'm guilty on this. :)

I did some work that [I guess] can be reused and [hopefully] turned into a PR. @nigeljyng what are your time constraints? I'm on many different deadlines ATM... :/

Early January would be nice, if that's feasible for you!

Hey folks. End up getting any traction on this feature?

I would like to give a +1 on this. I'm looking into using RISE as another option for company level presentations and therefore need to follow corporate identity design. It's important to be able to place logos, Author, company and date at a specific location visible throughout the presentation. Furthermore a section title should be visible at the top of the screen as well. This definitly sounds like using header and footer areas for this.

I'm currently looking into using a custom.js to relocate header elements (h1,h2,..) out of the slides context to make this happen via jquery based insertBefore and insertAfter, but with limited success. Is there a RISE specific javascript event, which I could hook on to when slideshow mode is enabled? Does the idea sound reasonable after all?

You can probably use some of the Reveal.js events... or maybe use some of the notebook machinary to signal that...

Does the idea sound reasonable after all?

It is one approach, probably not the one I would choose. @fpliger do you have the branch you were working on this doing experimentation? It would be nice to make it public so others can continue the work :wink: Thanks!

Oh man.. I've changed laptop in the meanwhile. Will check but not feeling very lucky there.

Thanks OK...let's see if we are lucky... otherwise if you can drop the ideas (if you remember them). Thanks!

@damianavila found something... 😄

The main idea was to extend the Revealer with hooks to load modifiers (js+css) that can be appended to head in order to customize the content. I'd see this more as a config file that the user can customize and the Revealer will read.. but in my case I've just patched that function manually.

Hope this helps

Glad you found something. Any chance you could share some sample code? JavaScript and the whole implementation behind Reveal.js and RISE is not my comfort zone. I was hoping to find a suitable place to just drop in necessary changes and addons. My hope was that I could create a custom.js and custom.css file, which could be activated when entering the presentation mode and perform some rearrangements. I can't seem to find a suitable event to hook on to. Any test to successfully trigger own code in custom.js didn't get me to the point where I had a "living" Reveal object, which I could modify in behaviour. I've managed to see the all the methods of a Reveal object in Chromes developer tools, but any try to use one of the methods revealed an unknown method of a null object. Probably seems I have a notable lack of JavaScript knowledge which needs to be closed first.

Thanks for the input @fpliger!
