Simple Signage
My attempt at building a Digital Signage plugin for WordPress aka my attempt at using google gemini in such a way that is writes a plugin for me. It has been a while since I did any serious development.
The thing is I need a Digital Signage solution that is easy to use and can be adjusted from anywhere and that doesn’t require any extra hardware or a subscription. Right now I run it on Chrome in kiosk mode. Works fine with me.
Download
Until WordPress.org accepts my plugin, you will have to download it here:
Installation
Simply install the plugin by uploading the .zip file thru the Add Plugin-option in your menu. Check the readme.txt if you need more help.
For my slides I just make pictures in either 1080×1920 or 1920×1080 and add them to a slide. (set them to full size to get rid of margins!).
In my case I have a mac mini that is hooked up to a screen. Auto-login and an automator script that starts Chrome in kiosk mode with the right URL.
Todo list
Stuff I want to add/improve:
- Caching mechanism
- Better and more transitions
- An option to turn on/off a clock
- A better integration with Yootheme
- Get the mouse pointer to disappear
