I've found that one: Hyperlinks do not open consistently in slide show mode.

I can set hyperlinks to presentations but they are opened in edit mode. Try to install the ImpressRunner extension, it is to start automatically presentation in slideshow.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

It's an extension so you can install it, even under Ubuntu (I did it when I was running the 2.x version!).

Download the file .oxt, open OOo, go to Tools>Extension manager, click the Add button, browse your HD until you find that file and double-click.

[zanchetti]

thanks I have installede your programm but the hyperlink of my presentation can't open onothe presentation and the don't appear on mia diapo when I open the presentation....I really don't know what to do....sorry for my english, your are france if you prefere we can ecrire en francais
a bientot

[Hagar Delest]

No, we can't write in French, thanks, because this is an English speaking forum so if we want all the users to understand the threads, we can't use another language (it would become quickly unreadable).

Well, I just tried and installed the extension, then added the 'autostart' string in the first user defined field (File>Properties>User defined> Info 1) for 2 presentations (.odp). Then created a hyperlink from the first one to the 2nd one. Closed OOo, double-clicked the first presentation, it opens fine in slideshow mode directly, then clicked the hyperlink and it also opens fine the 2nd presentation. The only minor issue I see is that when I close the 2nd presentation, it go to the edit mode instead of closing it definitively.

Do you manage to create a hyperlink from one file to the other? Your last post is not that clear.

[zanchetti]

ok but if I open the first presentation with double clic I can't able to open it in slidesshow....I don't know.....

[Hagar Delest]

Have you put the 'autostart' string in the user field? Is it a .odp file?

[zanchetti]

I m not able to insert the autostart string in property, excuse me, it a little time that I use ubuntu and I don't know many thing.
When I open proprety I don't understand where I have to take the string.....
I have to dowload the string or it is just in my OO?
sorry....If you prefer we can contat by mail

Open your presentation in OOo and go to File>Properties and then to the User defined tab:

Indeed, that's a bug: Issue 83887 - Show slide ,the hyperlink button does not work.

I fear that you've to do without the push button!

[zanchetti]

look at this document
all run but the hyperlink can also be used in workink schedule of impress and not in presentation....
It is difficult to explain

Thanks again
Silvia

[zanchetti]

I have used push button....but it does not wok.....I.....really don t know what to do

[Hagar Delest]

Don't use the push button, it can't work. Use standard links instead.

NB: haven't you forgotten to upload the file in your previous post?

[zanchetti]

scuse me it was a mistake....now I have create a new impress presentation Index without the push button....all is ok
thaks very much....
I would like to send you my complete presentation but the forum has dednied my files....it s to big
Now I have my last problem.....

Thanks again and again

When I clic on the hyperlik my presentation run.....but at the end how can I return automatically to the index....

I've seen that also. But I don't know how to close completely the target presentation so that it comes back to the first one without entering the edit mode for the 2nd one. You should leave a comment in the ImpressRunner extension feedback.

The max file for the forum is 128kB. You can use file sharing web site like mediafire. I don't reply such question by mail anyway (else, it would not be a forum!). Anyway, time to go to bed for me, good luck!

[zanchetti]

thanks again.....good night

For the record, a macro has been made for a similar question, perhaps it will help for your next show: Autoclosing OOo after presentation.

Hello,
I want to make 2 presentations, the one hyperlink to the other.
Ok, this is easy, i made it and works.
BUT:
When i push the batton to MOVE FROM THE ONE PRESENTATION to the other, it moves but NOT as CONTINUED slideshow. The hyperlinked presentation opens as new OPEN OFFICE window.
Is there a way to hyperlink from one presentation to another in CONTINUES SLIDESHOW MODE?
(In Powerpoint it does, but i can not find a way in Open Office).
I will appreciate your help.
