IncludePicture problem with adityam / simple-slides

[Glen Callaghan]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1326 bytes --]

Hello,

I'm having some problems with "simple-slides".  I'm pretty new to  
ConTeXt - so I've probably done something silly.
	
When I try to use the \IncludePicture command like this:

\IncludePicture
	[horizontal]
	[test]
	{A Dutch Cow}

I get the errors like "! Missing number, treated as zero" and "!  
Missing = inserted for \ifnum"  (see below).

I'm using MacTex-2008 distribution.  I've also tried the current  
context minimals - but got the same result.

thanks
Glen

No. This is probably due to some recent change in ConTeXt. I pushed a fix 
to github. See if the new version works for you.

Thomas, we would need to update a new version to contextgarden. This bug 
will affect all new versions of mkii.

The bug was because I was misusing moduleparameter where I should have 
used variables instead. Something must have changed in MkII recently. The 
behaviour does not occur in MkIV so I never noticed it. In any case, this 
was long overdue and would make Wolfgang happy :)

Aditya,

will do. Are you trying to sort out the problem with the \noexpand in  
simpleslides-s-Split.tex? If so, I would wait a bit... I haven't used  
the module with mkii in a long time, such bugs can indeed go undetected.

Thanks for the fix, and all best

Thomas

Thomas,

I have corrected that. I also don't use the module with mkii, so at some 
point we need to properly test everything with mkii again.

I haven't updated the documentation (two new styles, BoxedTitle and 
PlainCounter), but that can wait. Please upload the current version of the 
module to the garden.

Done. Thanks for fixing this, and Glen, thanks for the bug report!

Best

That worked, thanks.

BTW - I had lots of trouble trying to download from github.  I only  
got a html file (worked ok the previous time).  I ended up copying the  
text from the Split file and pasting it over the text in my file here.


thanks again
Glen

Yes. It should have been \getvariables{...}{...}. I forgot to correct 
that.

Check out the newer version on github. Thanks for reporting these bugs.

Sorry Aditya, my comments on the \noexpand command weren't quite  
accurate.

In the earlier version of simple-slides, leaving out the \noexpand  
working, and the header and footer information worked properly.

In the new version (with the IncludePicture fix), leaving out  
\noexpand just results in the text "empty" appearing at 3 (of the 4)  
header/footer positions.

Is it something to do with using variables instead of  
moduleparameters? .......... not that I know what they are :-)

[Glen Callaghan]

Thanks for the speedy fix, Aditya - that works now.

Thanks also for putting together the simple-slides module - very nice  
to use!


By the way, in simpleslides-s-Split.tex, we found we had to remove the  
\noexpand command from three lines like this one:

draw \sometxt[simpleslides:sometxt:left]{\noexpand\moduleparameter 
{simpleslides:title}{date}}

With the \noexpand command left in, most of the header and footer  
information didn't work.

thanks
Glen
