Item9085: SlideShowPlugin and EditChapterPlugin incompatibility

The SlideShowPlugin does not work when EditChapterPlugin is installed. In order to get over this issue, in the configure script we need to set the Plugin evaluation order where SlideShowPlugin is evaluated before EditChapterPlugin. Can somebody update the SlideShowPlugin documentation?

The problem stems from both using the commonTagsHandler. Once EditChapterPlugin modified the output, i.e. the headings, SlideShowPlugin get's it wrong parsing them.

Reverting the evaluation order between those two cures it, by adding SlideShowPlugin to $Foswiki::cfg{PluginsOrder}

Michael, do you think we should just add SlideShowPlugin to the default {PluginsOrder} setting after the SpreadSheetPlugin? It's a default extension, so probably a low risk change. Another option is a config checker in one or the other to warn if SlideShow is not ahead of EditChapter.

Yes, adding SlideShowPlugin to the PluginsOrder by default is the right thing to do.
