Item9631: Slideshow pages are too small

something is wrong with the css.

Raising to urgent, as this is unusable.

Confirmed. There is no space at all below a slide and the next slide.

The original plugin added a lot of white space below. That could be the fix again if nothing else can be done quickly.

The code to add is

$text .= "%BR%\n\n" x 20;

that was removed since 1.0.9

But we also have a problem with the skin. It has the same whitespace as the left bar which also makes the plugin useless.

I am very close to just reapply the 1.0.9 version of the plugin again for 1.1.0 so we can release.

I am doing the following.

• Changing the code to again emit the 20 empty lines. Ugly but it works. Revert when one of you have a better way
• The height of each slide is defined in the slide template by defining the height of an image called clearpixel.gif. But someone changed the slide template to not include this image and goofed the height. So we restore it back to the way it was. Again. If someone wants a smarter way, go ahead but right now I am fine with just having something that WORKS
• Finally the space in the left side is because someone changed from using skin to cover. And the cover does not cancel the default Pattern css. I am changing this back to skin.

Whoever changed the default template also decided not to have any nice header on the slides. So instead of being a great example of how the plugin works, it is showing a minimalistic ugly thing.

I am restoring the nice looking header back. That is what the whole plugin is about!! Making a nice Powerpoint look-alike presentation. That is what business people want

Arthur said in another bug item that he would not work further on this plugin.

So I close this with the checkin I did today that fixed the problem with a non-CSS solution
