Document Classes ⇒ Exclude last Frame from Page Counting

[marie2011]

Dear forum members,

I was wondering how to make the following. I am preparing a presentation. After saying thank you I should put the title page again. So I wrote \thispagestyle{empty} so than there is not page on the slide. I do not want the last slide to be part of the pagination. That means I would like to have 1/3 and not 1/4, as it appears now. Do you know if this is possible?

Here is my minimal working example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{beamer}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish,ngerman,catalan,english]{babel}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{tabu}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{amsfonts}

\usepackage{color}
\newcommand*{\bluebullet}{{\usebeamercolor[fg]{item}{\textbullet \ }}}

\usefonttheme[stillsansserifsmall]{serif}
\usefonttheme{structuresmallcapsserif}
\usetheme{Pittsburgh}
\usecolortheme{seahorse}

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]
\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty

\addto{\captionsspanish}{%
  \renewcommand*{\tablename}{Tabla}
}

\thispagestyle{empty}
\title{Title page}
\author{}
\date{}

\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{title page}
{
  \vbox{}
  \vfill
  \begin{centering}
      \vskip0.25em%
      {\usebeamercolor[fg]{titlegraphic}\inserttitlegraphic\par}         
      \vskip2.25em%
    \begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=8pt,center]{title}
      \usebeamerfont{title}\inserttitle\par%
      \ifx\insertsubtitle\@empty%
      \else%
        \vskip0.25em%
        {\usebeamerfont{subtitle}\usebeamercolor[fg]{subtitle}\insertsubtitle\par}%
      \fi%     
    \end{beamercolorbox}%
    \vskip0.5em\par
    \begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=8pt,center]{author}
      \usebeamerfont{author}\insertauthor
    \end{beamercolorbox}\vskip-0.5em\par
    \begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=8pt,center]{date}
      \usebeamerfont{date}\insertdate
    \end{beamercolorbox}\vskip0.5em% Cambiar aquí
  \end{centering}
  \vfill
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\selectlanguage{spanish}
\begin{frame}
  \titlepage
\end{frame}

\setcounter{framenumber}{0}

\begin{frame}
1
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
2
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
3
\end{frame}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{frame}
  \titlepage
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Marie

Hi Marie,

you could simply write

Code: Select all

\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}

before the final frame which doesn't count. If there's no frame number shown and no reference to it, it shouldn't matter that steh frame number isn't stepped up.

Btw. good minimal example, it would just be good if it would be more minimal, i.e. without unrelated packages. I don't want to install tabu, pdfpages and all those packages just for testing the example with the frame numbers problem. It would be shorter and clearer.
