We use the Rise Vision gadgets in our interactive presentations such as Headline News and Youtube videos. When you touch the news headline, it opens a browser with the full news story in it and now a person can navigate the web without a way to get back to the presentation. Same with Youtube - if you touch the video, it takes you to youtube.com and you can now browse the web with no way to get back to the presentation.
Is there a way I can make it so that the items displayed in these gadgets is not 'clickable' or make it so if it is clickable, there is a way to get back to the presentation? It's very useful in classroom situations to be able to navigate to a full news story and navigate back to the presentation, but very bad when a touch screen is in a public place and a user can turn the digital signage into a browser.
I have not tested other gadgets yet to see if they behave in the same manner, but it would be the same for all of them - can we have a way to disable links so an end user cannot navigate away from the presentation or if we do allow it, have a way to get back to the presentation.
Can you make a Gadget non interactive, but still have it in an interactive Presentation?

I had a conversation with Ray about this yesterday, and correct me if I am wrong Ray, but what it boiled down to is it would be nice to have an interactive Presentation, where specific Gadgets in the Presentation (in this example, Youtube and Headline News) aren't interactive. Do I have that right?
What does everyone else think?Comment -

I think the issue is you don't want people traveling to an external website outside of the presentation that acts as a portal to go anywhere. Further more there is no way to get back to the original presentation. I wouldn't say make them none interactive, because you still should be able to pause a youtube video if need be. -

I think that would be a nice addition. Might this be a feature that would need to be added for Alex's touch advancing placeholders to work? So that the placeholder advances to the next gadget, but not the individual gadgets within the placeholder performing their own action.
I wonder if, as a workaround, you could place an empty transparent placeholder over the top of the gadgets you don't want people interacting with. -

Aaron, that is a great idea for the Youtube Gadget especially.
Ray, what do you think of that idea? -

I’m
happy
This sounds like a perfect solution for our needs - we'll test this out and go with it.
Thank you very much! -
