Use of Header and footer

[felipenmoura]

If the user adds a header and/or footer to the html page, what should Power Polygon do?

We could:

• add the header and footer to all the slides(allowing variables like slide number and number of slides or date/time)...this means that these elements will be cloned into each slide.
• add the header and footer to the page(not cloning it). For this case, there should be placeholders where the number of the current slide may be updated, for example!
• or, offer both of the above options, and the user can set which one to use on the settings(enabling the first option as default).

Option 3 is better. The header and footer should be configured/enabled individually also.

[felipenmoura]

Agree...
by individually, you mean allowing the user to have only the header, or only the footer?

[javamanrj]

Not only this. I mean: you can have header with one config (clonning, for example) and footer with another (only on the page)

hm, I got it!
Interesting point! I hadn't though on this! I think it is relevant, indeed!

I believe that we could even add something like a replicable element...then, users could say that any element on their html should be cloned to every slide(then, their css classes would have to take care of how they look like), aside the header and footer! I think it would give more options to speakers and theme creators! 👍

Hum, this should be awesome! Excellent idea :)
