I'm trying to make a presentation in which:

  • The first page must include the subjet, authors, 2 coaches names and 2 logos at top, a footer which includes authors, subject, date and pages.
  • The rest of pages, the only requirement is to have on top of the page all of the chapters and, the current chapter selected and its sections.

Is there any defined library for this kind of requirements? If not, how may to make this real please?

NOTE: that I'm currently having a long chapter name which has as length = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx x xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xx xxxxxxx".

    A beamer presentation has no chapters. When you say "all of the chapters and, the current chapter selected and its sections" perhaps you meant "all of the sections and, the current chapter selected and its subsections"? – Gonzalo Medina Apr 28 '14 at 00:51
  • @GonzaloMedina, you're right, that's it! – dgs Apr 28 '14 at 01:31

Here's one possibility in which I used a modified version of the split outer theme; instead of example-image-a and example-image-b use the file names for your logos:

\documentclass[xcolor={dvipsnames}]{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\useoutertheme{split}
\usecolortheme{spruce}

\makeatletter
\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{mytheme}
{%
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=0.35\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fill,rightskip=.3cm,center]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=0.35\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=0.3\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshortdate\hfill
    \insertframenumber/\inserttotalframenumber
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}
\makeatother

Update

In the comments it has been mentioned that the title of the presentation might be too long; in this case, there are two possibilities: either use the optional argument for \title, as in

\title[short title for footer]{long long long long title for the titlepage}

to provide a shorter version of the title that will go to the footer. If this is not an option and the long title must appear in the footer, then I'd propose a modification of the footline template like the one below. It also was requested to move down the logos in the titlepage:

  • That's cool and thank you very much for your answer but I was talking about the subjet (title) of the presentation whom was too long to display in the footer not the section's title. I'm sorry if I wasn't that clear. – dgs Apr 28 '14 at 01:58
  • @dgs can you use the optional argument for \title as in \title[short title for the footer]{long long long long title for the title page} or do you need the complete name to also appear in the footer? If the last option is the one you need (full title in footer), would you like to place the long title at the footer on one box of its own? – Gonzalo Medina Apr 28 '14 at 02:01
  • I can't find how did you put the footer date at left and the logos that I'm expecting to put in that page are very light, isn't it just possible to put them under that header line as 0.7 height size, please? – dgs Apr 28 '14 at 02:18
  • @dgs I updated my answer showing another possibility for the footline for long titles. Regarding your new requirement, what exactly do you mean with "0.7 height size"? – Gonzalo Medina Apr 28 '14 at 02:24
  • @dgs new update. I lowered the logos. Is something like that what you need? By the way, for future questions, please mention all the specifications from the beginning to avoid waste of time. – Gonzalo Medina Apr 28 '14 at 02:32
  • The dark green header, under which I'm trying to put these logos and before the subject. – dgs Apr 28 '14 at 02:39
  • Or may be, this way is better to see \pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{university-logo}{university-logo-filename} \logo{\pgfuseimage{university-logo}}, but how to insert the second logo on the left side ? – dgs Apr 28 '14 at 02:40
  • But using the line that I've written will mark a logo in each slide which isn't desired. – dgs Apr 28 '14 at 02:41
  • @dgs Please see this new update. Like that? You can move the logos vertically to the desired position by changing the value for yshift in my code. – Gonzalo Medina Apr 28 '14 at 02:46
