Slides

A simple web-based slideshow tool

This tool allows users to create image-based slideshows in a simple drag and drop-based interface.
Drop a slide on a show to add it, drop a slide or a show on the trash icon to remove it.

Requirements

• A webserver running PHP with imagemagick
• ffmpeg (if using video slides)
• An empty mysql database
• You also probably want to protect the admin directory with some sort of authentication
  The application will check users against the $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] variable, so any authentication that populates that field should work. Authentication won't be enforced if the list of authorized users is empty.

Installation

1. Clone the repo to an appropriate location
2. Navigate to the include directory
3. Import database.sql into a previously empty database
4. Copy config.php.example to config.php
5. Change settings in config.php to fit your needs
6. Make sure the web server can write to the uploads directory
7. Make sure the web server accepts image and video uploads of the size you want
8. Done!

Upgrading to a new version

1. Check out the appropriate version, e.g. git fetch; git checkout v2.0
2. Run the appropriate database upgrade script, e.g. mysql [dbname] < include/dbupdate-v1-to-v2.sql

slides's Issues

Video support

Video support would be nice. Easiest to embed youtube videos.
Useful flags:
autoplay=1
controls=0
rel=0
showinfo=0
modestbranding=1

There would need to be some way of detemining the length of a video and setting the reload timeout accordingly.
