Hi All,
I would like to use Xibo as a point of sale for notebooks.
To make my work easy i would like to use a script to read out the hardware specs.
I found this script :
https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/1831-get-computer-system-and-hardware-information (needs some tweaking-but ok to start)
But i don’t know how or where to implement this in xibo.
Any ideas?
Trying to understand what you want. Is the below correct?
This is for a computer shop. The Xibo CMS will run on a computer in the back room. Each computer for sale on the sales floor will have the Xibo client installed. The clients will display layouts common to all of them. On one of the layouts, that client’s h/w specs should appear. (i.e. “CPU intel 80386 16Mhz, RAM 2MB, HDD 120MB”).
that is correct!
Is there a solution available?
Others may suggest some different method, but here is how I would try it.
(1) Create a stand-alone program (or script) that can gather the required information from the client and write it to an html document. Copy this program onto each client.
(2) Launch the program mentioned in step 1, using a shell command within your layout. Adjust the timing of your layouts so the program has time to complete before going on to step 3.
(3) Create an embedded media in your layout, that shows the html document.
No modification to the Xibo source code is necessary.
