beamerpage-numbering
I have slides 1, 2, 3 and I only want the page number in the slides to count slide 2 and 3. So on slide 2, the page number displays 1/2.
I followed exactly what suggested in Beamer: \nonumber equivalent for slides?
using the noframenumbering option. It does not do anything.
You could choose a beamer theme which supports that. For example Singapore:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Singapore}
\begin{document}
\section{Introduction}
\subsection{One}
\begin{frame} text \end{frame}
\subsection{Two}
\begin{frame} text \end{frame}
\subsection{Three}
\begin{frame} text \end{frame}
\subsection{Four}
\begin{frame} text \end{frame}
\section{Methods}
\subsection{One}
\begin{frame} text \end{frame}
\subsection{Two}
\begin{frame} text \end{frame}
\end{document}
Here's the top of a frame, where subsection three of the introduction is highlighted.
Or
\usetheme{Szeged}
Or
\usetheme{Darmstadt}
There are related themes such as Berlin, Ilmenau, Dresden and Frankfurt, with such a navigation.
Also the progressbar theme is interesting, if you wish to show the frame progress.
To visit beamer themes galleries, have a look at Where to find custom beamer themes.
There are basically three options, how to get rid of the framenumbers:
- remove head- and footline via:
\begin{frame}[noframenumbering, plain]...
- temporarily clear the footline
{ \setbeamertemplate{footline}{} \begin{frame}[noframenumbering] \titlepage \end{frame} }
- temporarily redefining the footline
This heavily depends on the used outer theme. With \setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]{} used in the MWE this brings no advantage compared to option 2.
To make this automatic for a large number of frames, one can define custom keys. The following example illustrates, how this could work with option 2.:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Dresden}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\defbeamertemplate{footline}{nonum}{%
\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}
}
\BeforeBeginEnvironment{frame}{%
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]{}
}
\makeatletter
\define@key{beamerframe}{nonum}[true]{%
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[nonum]%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[nonum]
Removeframenumber
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
normal frame
\end{frame}
\end{document}

I tried to find out what you might mean, but unfortunately you do not provide an MWE. Even worse, my crystal ball got stolen. So I can only guess what you mean. I guess you are confusing
frame numberwithpage number. To see this consider the MWEThis seems to confirm what you're saying, but the catch is that I am showing the
pagenumber here. Indeed, if I activate\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]{}instead, I getIs this the phenomenon you're referring to?
