Interactive Actions

Hi, I’d like to create a layout in Xibo v4 that works like this: It will cycle through several images, and when someone touches the screen, it will open a webpage widget displaying a site with a form. If there are no touches for, say, 30 seconds, it should go back to showing images and continue cycling through them until another touch occurs, triggering the webpage again.

Is there a way to achieve this in Xibo v4? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

You could use an Interactive Action that navigates to a webpage widget. If the webpage you’re displaying is your own, you could maybe keep track of how much time has passed since the last touch and use the Xibo Interactive Control library to send a webhook back to the layout to display the images.

I am only brainstorming here. I have no experience with using Interactive layouts etc, so i can’t tell you if this will actually work

Hi leko97,

Could you share the needed information to properly come up with accurate steps on how we can achieve your goal?

  • CMS installation type? (webserver or docker)
  • CMS version you’d like to implement this?
  • Player type and version you intend to use? (windows or android? what version?)
  • URL of the webpage which does not need any log in? (publicly accessible)

Hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,
