[Tex/LaTex] A table of contents for each section. Including only the entries of that section

beamersectioningtable of contents

I am preparing a presentation on Beamer and I will have different sections.
I would like to put a title page and a table of contents for each of the section.
In particular, for each section a toc with only the entries of that section.
For example, suppose I have

Sec 1

1.1. Subsec 1

1.2. Subsec 2
Sec 2

2.1. Subsec 1

2.2. Subsec 2

2.3. Subsec 3
Sec 3

3.1. Subsec 1

3.2 Subsec 2

At the beginning of sec 2 I would like a slide showing the title Sec 2 and at the following slide I want to see:
2. Sec 2

2.1. Subsec 1

2.2. Subsec 2

2.3. Subsec 3

I have used the following code:

 \documentclass[t,10pt]{beamer}

\title{My presentation}

\date[February 11, 2015] % (optional)
{}

\def\sectionname{\translate{Section}}
\setbeamertemplate{section page}
{
  \begin{centering}
    \vskip1em\par

    \vspace{3cm}
\begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=4pt,center]{part title}
  \usebeamerfont{section title}\insertsection\par
\end{beamercolorbox}
  \end{centering}
}

\setbeamertemplate{section page2}
{\tableofcontents[currentsection, sectionstyle=show, subsectionstyle=show]}

\def\sectionpage{\usebeamertemplate*{section page}}

\def\sectionpageBis{\usebeamertemplate*{section page2}}

\AtBeginSection{\frame{\sectionpage} \frame{\sectionpageBis}}

\begin{document}
\setbeamertemplate{blocks}[rounded][shadow=true]
\begin{frame}
  \titlepage
\end{frame}
\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}
\linespread{1.5}
\begin{frame}{Outline}
\footnotesize
  \tableofcontents[subsectionstyle=hide]
  % You might wish to add the option [pausesections]
\end{frame}

\section{Section 1}
\subsection{sub 1}
\subsection{sub 2}
\section{Section 2}
\subsection{sub 1}
\subsection{sub 2}
\subsection{sub 3}
\section{Section 3}
\subsection{sub 1}
\subsection{sub 2}
\end{document}

The title page works fantastically. However the toc shows the name of the other sections and other subsections.
Can anyone help? Thanks

Try changing your definition of section page2 to the following:

\setbeamertemplate{section page2}
{\tableofcontents[currentsection, sectionstyle=show/hide, subsectionstyle=show/show/hide]}

For sectionstyle, show/hide means show the current section and hide other sections. For subsectionstyle, the three options are for the current subsection, other subsections within the same section, and other subsections in different sections. You also have the shaded option, which makes the entry somewhat transparent. See the beamer documentation section 10.5 for details.

\documentclass[t,10pt]{beamer}
\title{My presentation}
\date[February 11, 2015] % (optional)
{}

\def\sectionname{\translate{Section}}
\setbeamertemplate{section page}
{
  \begin{centering}
    \vskip1em\par

    \vspace{3cm}
\begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=4pt,center]{part title}
  \usebeamerfont{section title}\insertsection\par
\end{beamercolorbox}
  \end{centering}
}

\setbeamertemplate{section page2}
{\tableofcontents[currentsection, sectionstyle=show/hide, subsectionstyle=show/show/hide]}

\def\sectionpage{\usebeamertemplate*{section page}}
\def\sectionpageBis{\usebeamertemplate*{section page2}}

\AtBeginSection{\frame{\sectionpage} \frame{\sectionpageBis}}

\begin{document}
\setbeamertemplate{blocks}[rounded][shadow=true]
\begin{frame}
  \titlepage
\end{frame}
\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}
\linespread{1.5}
\begin{frame}{Outline}
\footnotesize
  \tableofcontents[subsectionstyle=hide]
  % You might wish to add the option [pausesections]
\end{frame}
\section{Section 1}
\subsection{sub 1}
\subsection{sub 2}
\section{Section 2}
\subsection{sub 1}
\subsection{sub 2}
\subsection{sub 3}
\section{Section 3}
\subsection{sub 1}
\subsection{sub 2}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Including a pseudo chapter in the table of contents

Add in the preamble of your document

\providecommand\phantomsection{}% for hyperref

Then before the picture

\clearpage
% Add the title here, maybe \chapter*{My image title} ????
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{My image title}
%Your image here ....

[Tex/LaTex] Only section heads in table of contents using beamer

You can add hideallsubsections as an option to the main ToC, i.e.

\begin{frame}{Table of Contents}
    \tableofcontents[hideallsubsections]
\end{frame}

Another way would be to uncomment \setcounter{tocdepth}{1}, and add \setcounter{tocdepth}{2}right after the frame with the main ToC.

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{beamerthemesplit}
%\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}
%\setcounter{secnumdepth}{1}


\usetheme{Antibes}

\title{The Title}
\subtitle{Subtitle}
\author[F. Author]{F.author\inst{1}\and S. Autor\inst{2}}
\institute[University of Somewhere and Elsewhere] {
    \inst{1}
        UofS
    \and
    \inst{2}%
        UofE
}
\date{\today}

\AtBeginSubsection[] {
    \begin{frame}<beamer>{Outline}
    \tableofcontents[currentsection,currentsubsection]
    \end{frame}
}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
  \titlepage
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Table of Contents}
    \tableofcontents[hideallsubsections]
\end{frame}

\section{First Main Section}

\subsection{First Subsection}

\begin{frame}{First Slide Title}{Optional Subtitle}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item {
    My first point.
  }
  \item {
    My second point.
  }
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Second Subsection}

% You can reveal the parts of a slide one at a time
% with the \pause command:
\begin{frame}{Second Slide Title}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item {
    First item.
    \pause % The slide will pause after showing the first item
  }
  \item {   
    Second item.
  }
  % You can also specify when the content should appear
  % by using <n->:
  \item<3-> {
    Third item.
  }
  \item<4-> {
    Fourth item.
  }
  % or you can use the \uncover command to reveal general
  % content (not just \items):
  \item<5-> {
    Fifth item. \uncover<6->{Extra text in the fifth item.}
  }
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\section{Second Main Section}

\subsection{Another Subsection}

\begin{frame}{Blocks}
\begin{block}{Block Title}
You can also highlight sections of your presentation in a block, with it's own title
\end{block}
\begin{theorem}
There are separate environments for theorems, examples, definitions and proofs.
\end{theorem}
\begin{example}
Here is an example of an example block.
\end{example}
\end{frame}

% Placing a * after \section means it will not show in the
% outline or table of contents.
\section*{Summary}

\begin{frame}{Summary}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item
    The \alert{first main message} of your talk in one or two lines.
  \item
    The \alert{second main message} of your talk in one or two lines.
  \item
    Perhaps a \alert{third message}, but not more than that.
  \end{itemize}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item
    Outlook
    \begin{itemize}
    \item
      Something you haven't solved.
    \item
      Something else you haven't solved.
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
