I have the same problem. To reproduce:

  • Open a page with slide content.
  • Open the Slide Preview.
  • Click “Open in Browser”.

The browser opens but no slides appear. In the Obsidian console I see this error:

Is there a way we could have mermaid diagrams inside grids or splits?

I want to show a mermaid flowchart and a yaml config side by side in a slide

But some of the advanced features in mermaid like defined styles don’t work

flowchart TD
	classDef Unlaunched fill:#888,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#fff,stroke-dasharray: 5 5;
	classDef Running fill:#ff0,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px,color:#fff;
	Hello:::Running ---> World:::Unlaunched

Looking forward to try it later today. Thanks for the great work! Amazing tool.

Thanks so much for this amazing plugin.

I’m having a problem with inserting images. Obsidian links – ![[image]] – only seem to work if the image is in the root directory of the vault. What I really want to do, though, is have images in either the same directory as the slide, or in a subdirectory just for attachments.

Am I doing something wrong? Likes work if I use the longer md link notation with the absolute filename, but this is much less convenient, and tends to cause problems when I switch between machines on different operating systems.

Can you provide me a zipped sample vault with your images & notes that reproduce this issue?

Hi, has anybody managed to use the RevealMenu plugin?
image

I have seen in the slide source that the plugin is loaded, but I don’t know how to open the menu - there is no hamburger icons in the lower left corner, hotkey “m” is also without function.
Is there any frontmatter needed to activate the menu?
Thanks,
Simon

Hi, MSzturc, Thank you for Advanced slides! So much better for teaching than Powerpoint.
I have an issue with the images, maybe it is a setting I missed somewhere, I would love some guidance.
Resizing local images is visible and works only in the advanced slides preview, however in the output they are ignored and images appear in the original size. I use the markdown syntax as described in the documentation.

  • I am using the Amazing Slides night Theme, and Zenburn Highlight Theme.
  • Amazing Slides 1.8.1 Version
  • Obsidian 0.14.6 with the default theme
  • Chrome Version 100.0.4896.127
  • macOS 12.3.1

Thank you in advance
Bruno

…awesome! I used already template snippets for grid etc. but the built-in templates bring that to another level.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Matt,
I figured it out, I missed an empty space in front of the pipe.
Sorry, the error was sitting in front of the screen :slight_smile:

Hi all!

Advanced slides is simply fantastic, yet I struggle with some layout aspects.

  • First, I am trying to reduce the top margin , as the content seems to be pushed down, often leaving quite a bit of top margin.
  • Secondly, I wondered if there is a way to auto-resize text to fit inside the defined margins and thus avoid text being pushed beyond the below margin?

One way I attempted to solve the first aspect was to add the following to the frontmatter (but I actually have no clue of how CSS works):

top-margin: 0

Thanks for any support and all best

Yes by default reveal adds a margin to all elements. I personally don’t like that either, which is why I completely removed the margin in my self-created themes. However, this requires a little css know-how. The answer you gave is the preferred way i would suggest for people that don’t want to write an whole theme

The template function is really great!

I have been looking into the consult template (GitHub - MSzturc/advanced-slides-consult-template: A theme to create professional presentations with Advanced Slides) and the documentation for templates (Templates — Advanced Slides Documentation)

Following the documentation, it took me a while to figure out that the individual slide templates must be stored as .md files within the regular Obsidian vault and not under “/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-advanced-slides/template”. Looking back, this makes sense, of course. :wink:
