Open-Source Slideshare alternative
Sunday, February 05, 2012
There were 2 reasons for me to create an alternative to slidehsare's slide-show plugin :
- My uncle had a 170MB PPT file which is over-the-limit of Slideshare's 100MB size limit.
- My previous company's CEO wanted to display 6 slideshows on the company's homepage and 6 slideshare plugins was being extremely heavy esp on the flash part.
So I created a simple slide-show using jQuery as a jQuery plugin. There are some advantages as well as disadvantages.
Advantages
- This is completely customizable using CSS.
- Flexible slide size
- Unlimited slides
Disadvantages
- The slides are all images though, not HTML on the inside. Images would consume more space than HTML sildes.
- You need to export the slides to images, which you can do using Open Office.
- Require basic programming knowledge in HTML, CSS & JavaScript to embed this.
An example of this :
Usage :
$(document).ready(function() { $('#div-element').jscoin_slide({effect:'slideUp'}); });
The other options for effect are fade, flip and slide
