[xwiki-devs] [Discussion] Office Presentation Viewer

Hi devs, Currently when we import an office presentation the office importer module generates an image for each slide and inserts it into the wiki syntax: image:myPresentation-slide0.jpg ... image:myPresentation-slideN.jpg Some users have complained that: * when the presentation has many slides (e.g. 100) the page is heavy because all the slide images are requested at page load time. * there's no way to switch slides using an user friendly UI. See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5785 . One simple way to fix this is to group the images and to add a class name to the group. Then it will be easy to integrate an image gallery that replaces the group (found by its class name). I made a simple image gallery to demonstrate this. Please check http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/OfficePresentation… . The class name used by the office importer module should be configurable and should have a default value (e.g. "gallery"). The office viewer macro can then be changed to have an optional cssClass parameter. It would be nice if the office importer/viewer would also use a default image gallery, i.e. request on demand the JavaScript code and the CSS for the default image gallery when the class name (e.g. cssClass parameter) is not specified. WDYT? Thanks, Marius
