slide plugin

the slide plugin isn't so easy to handle
and apparently Ross' page is broken.


You may see if FOR-567 helps:
  http://i
ssues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-567

I worked with the plugin a while ago (hard to remember
what I actually did) but have you tried to get it
running locally? I may give more advice if you
have more specific questions ... otherwise I'll have
to dig deep into some long forgotten files.

Good luck!
Johannes

Depends on perception

Yes, the page is broken because the javascripts have not
been deployed. 
It is a known issue http://i
ssues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-341

It's easy to workaround by manually copying the javascript
files (the 
bug does not rear its ugly head if running in dynamic mode).

I really must apply those patches - sorry Johanes.

Johannes is correct, run it locally and come back with
specific problems 
if you hit them. Don't be put off by the problems in the
page you link 
to, it is not a client side issue.
