Adding the S5 Presentation slide show plugin to DokuWiki

One way you can make your DokuWiki friendly for business education is to allow your pages to have a slide show presentation built into them. DokuWiki can be used as a business tool for giving slide show presentations using the “S5 Presentations” plugin. This is similar to looking at a Power Point presentation in Microsoft Power Point. The bellow steps will teach you how to add a slide show presentation to your DokuWiki pages using the “S5 Presentations” plugin.

  1. Download the plugin url DokuWiki

    Get the URL for the plugin from the following site URL:

    https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:s5

    The URL should look like the following unless an updated version is out.

    https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki-plugin-s5/zipball/master


  2. Log into DokuWiki.
  3. listed in the plugins DokuWiki

    Install the plugin in the “Manage Plugin” section of your DokuWiki admin.

    If successfully installed, you should see the plugin listed in the “Installed Plugins” of your Plugin Manager.

The horizontal rule ends the current slide and puts the content into a“Handout” page. (For print only). In the snapshot to ther right the headers are set for each page.

    Save the page.
