Touchscreen displays - How to revert to home screen after 90 secs?

Edit Subject

Daniel, the Developer who usually answers these questions is on vacation. I'm just asking a couple others to see if they could answer your question.

Thanks!

Sounds good. I await a reply...

We are bit short this week as Alex is on vacation in sunny Mexico... in the interim, Rob, what about sharing the preliminary Tradeshow presentation with Daniel as it has this functionality in it. Daniel, this is a Presentation we are about to release in the next week or so as a Template. It isn't quite done yet but your welcome to review.

One thing to keep in mind. The functionality to support reverting to a homescreen if no interaction was added as a programming task. There is no functionality in the product with a UI that does this. So you need to review, study the code and implement. In other words you will need programming skills. Oleg, Donna, if I have any of this wrong let me know.

Thanks!

Sure, I wouldn't mind seeing it as it is right now. I actually do a lot of web development, but I didn't know off the top of my head how this is done or whether it's HTML, JS or otherwise. I could probably figure it out if I saw the code for the whole template. Thanks!

Done. Daniel this is now in your company and is called "Tradeshow Presentation".

Thanks a ton! For others' information, the user timeout is a jQuery snippet, "jQuery idleTimer plugin," and can be found here: https://github.com/paulirish/jquery-i...

Thanks Daniel! I've marked your post as the answer to the question :)

FYI for the rest of the community, this Presentation will be released as a Template within the next week or two, we are just finalizing adding a new Gadget to it. The Template will have the touchscreen timeout in it so that anyone can take that code and use it. Thanks!

Sorry for my lack of knowledge in this area, but is the reverting to homepage something he is trying to apply to the presentation/placeholder itself or the content itself i.e. webpage/flash??

We ran across a situation with touchscreen where we had interactive in the bottom placeholder and a "normal" placeholder running the image gadget on top. The customer required a timeout where if someone hadn't touched the screen in 2 minutes it would revert to the main navigation page- which worked fine with RDN but when converted to RiseVision the page refresh would navigate chromium away from the presentation to the actual content's webpage.

Would the solution above be something geared to that application? And has it had any conflicts such as the navigation away from the presentation? Or does this somehow get applied to the presentation/placeholder to reload that particular gadget??

Any clarification is welcome. Thanks!

Aaron,

The reverting to the homepage is part of the Presentation/Placeholder. Basically when a user goes to a different Placeholder in the Presentation, a timer starts, and when that timer is up, if there has been no interaction with the Presentation, it reverts to a default Placeholder or what you may refer to as a "main page" of the Presentation.

I think the timer object referred to in this Forum Discussion would work perfectly for what you need.

You may want to create a new Presentation in your Company from the Tradeshow Presentation Template, this may give you a better idea as to what actually happens when that timer is up.

I hope that helps, let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!
