s5 aspect not working

[candlerb]

I have been trying to get the s5 aspect working in the 0.9.15 gem.

First thing was to symlink plugins/filters/s5/ui to a checkout of diascope

cd
git checkout git://github.com/minad/diascope.git
sudo mv diascope /usr/local/share/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/diascope/ui /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/olelo-0.9.15/plugins/filters/s5/ui

After this the s5 aspect is available, but it doesn't render properly. Looking at the logs, the page is asking for e.g.

/_/assets/filter/s5/ui/common/jquery.js whereas it should be /_/assets/filters/s5/ui/common/jquery.js (note: filters not filter)

So I tried making what I thought was the obvious fix:

--- plugins/filters/s5/main.rb.orig     2013-08-29 23:39:41.642937172 +0100
+++ plugins/filters/s5/main.rb  2013-08-29 23:40:01.226936167 +0100
@@ -27,7 +27,7 @@
     themes.delete('default')
     themes.unshift(context.page.attributes['theme'] || 'default')
     super.merge(context.page.attributes['s5'] || {}).
-      merge('themes' => themes.join(' '), 's5_path' => build_path('_/assets/filter/s5'))
+      merge('themes' => themes.join(' '), 's5_path' => build_path('_/assets/filters/s5'))
   end
 end

However even after a server restart, I see requests for /assets/filter/s5. Something is cached somewhere. In fact, if I edit plugins/filters/s5/main.rb and put some debugging in, I don't think S5#params is being called at all.

I'm a bit lost now as to where the problem is.

Also: at http://www.gitwiki.org/Tests/Slideshow I note the comment "Still some stuff to fix here" which suggests there is some underlying issue...

Using a git checkout of olelo, plus git submodule init && git submodule update to pull in diascope, plus applying the patch above, rendering Markdown as S5 appears to be working. (I have also set production: false)

Content preview: Yes it works in the checked out version. However the diascope implementation of S5 is quite old and now there a lot better systems available than S5. Therefore I didn't invest much time to improve that. Maybe you have time to work on that? [...]

The simple fix is at https://github.com/candlerb/olelo/tree/candlerb/s5_fix

I don't have time to work on diascope, it would probably be better to modify olelo to work with some of the newer JS presentation frameworks like reveal.js. (pandoc supports five of them: s5, slidy, slideous, dzslides, reveal)

[minad]

No I want to modify olelo exactly in such a way to support the different backends. We could also use the pandoc backend more heavily.
