Hi there,
I have customized org-beamer--format-frame to change the way headlines are
treated (as I want a separate slide with only the headline in the center
and plain frames not showing headlines after that). The way I currently do
this is by redefining the function itself (using "defun
org-beamer--format-frame"). This works, but is there any way to make this
more modular, i.e. tell org-mode somewhere to use a different function
(e.g., my-org-beamer--format-frame) to format a frame, so that it's easy to
switch back and forth between different ones, as well as to revert to the
default?
Thanks,
Seb

As you haven't explained why you want this, it's difficult to understand
the actual use case. So, guessing at your intent, I wonder whether you
have thought about making use of section headings as well as frame
headings to accomplish what you want?
Assuming you are using org v8.x and not something older, if you set
option H:2, second level headings define frames and top level headings
define sections. You can then have section headings appear as a
separate slide using code such as this:
#+begin_src org
,#+latex_header: \AtBeginSection[]{\begin{frame}<beamer>\frametitle{Topic}\tableofcontents[currentsection]\end{frame}}
#+end_src
In this case, any time a section heading is encountered (i.e. top level
org heading), you'll get a slide with a table of contents with that
heading emphasised. You can obviously do something different which more
closely matches what you want.
If you don't want individual frames to have headings, simply don't put
any text in the headline for that frame.
This way, you do not need to manipulate how beamer displays frames. An
example set of slides with two sections and two out of four slides
having no headline would look like this:
#+begin_src org
,#+options: H:2
,#+latex_header: \AtBeginSection[]{\begin{frame}<beamer>\frametitle{Topic}\tableofcontents[currentsection]\end{frame}}
,* Introduction
,** First slide
some text on the first slide
,**
some text on the second slide which has no heading
,* Results
,**
some third slide text, also on a slide with no heading
,** conclusions
This was a great talk.
#+end_src
HTH,

Thanks so much! I was trying to get a bit more flexibility with that
separate slide (e.g., have the title in the centre of the page and no toc).
So I took inspiration from your great solution and defined a latex macro
#+begin_src latex
\newcommand{\singleslide}[1]{{%
\usebeamerfont{title}
\begin{frame}[plain,c]
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[h]{.75\textwidth}
\centering
\textcolor{title}{\Large#1}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
\end{frame}
}}
#+end_src
and a latex class
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
'("my-org-beamer"
"\\documentclass{beamer}
("\\singleside{%s}" . "\\singleslide{%s}")))))
#+end_src
which did the job.
Best,
Seb

Interesting solution! Thanks for this. I can see its uses. For
completeness, I assume you are using the H:2 option?

Yes, that's right. H:2
