Document Classes ⇒ beamer | No '\hyperpage' Command available

[gadgetto]

Hi everybody,

I would like to use the \hyperpage command in the beamer class. In my special case I need it for an index. \hyperpage works quite fine in other classes (e.g. article) but not with the following example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{Madrid}
\usecolortheme{beetle}

\title{The Title}
\author{Author, A.}
\institute{Institute}

\begin{document}

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

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{My Frame}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Some content.r
  \item Another content.\hyperpage{1}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

I get

Code: Select all

! Undefined control sequence.
\beamer@doifinframe ...Another content.\hyperpage 
                                                  {1} 

Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem???

best regards,

\hyperpage is most probably defined by the hyperref package so you should include that in your preamble.

Dear Clemens,

it is correct that \hyperpage is defined by the hyperref package. But this package is included by beamer in default. Never the less I added

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hyperref}

to the preamble. But I got the same message as before:

ERROR: Undefined control sequence.

Indeed... I have no idea why that happens. beamer or one the packages it loads must deliberately disable the command... I would guess this is because a) the command is meant for usage in an index which is nothing one would add to a presentation and b) a presentation usually does not have pages but frames.

If you could elaborate a bit on what you plan to do maybe we can find an alternative.

Dear Clemens,

a) the command is meant for usage in an index which is nothing one would add to a presentation

but this is exactly what I want to do. I conduct a training course and my presentation (round about 500 slides) should also be a reference book.

b) a presentation usually does not have pages but frames.

If there is a command like \hyperframe I also would be happy
