Publicity Screens

Alex Toff edited this page Apr 19, 2022 · 3 revisions

The UOBTheatre frontend includes publicity screen functionality that provides web-based e-signage, suitable for displaying on monitors and screens at venues.

The publicity screen:

  • Will show details of upcoming productions on a slide-show basis
  • Provides specialized screens for when a performance is currently active (e.g. when doors are close to opening, whilst doors are opening, etc)
  • Refresh their data automatically every 2 hours

Usage

The publicity screen app is available at /publicity-screen/<venues>, where <venues> is a comma-delimited list of venue slugs which represent where the publicity screen is located. They are currently designed for landscape screens only - nominally 16:9.

For example /publicity-screen/the-winston-theatre,the-pegg-theatre will give a publicity screen that is configured for the box office for The Winston or Pegg Theatres.

By default, publicity screens (when no performance is active) will show a slide-show of all upcoming productions - this includes productions that might not be located at the given venue. To disable this, and only show marketing for productions at the given venues, append ?onlyTheseVenues=true to the URL.

Example Screens

Note that these are all rendered in the code - they might have changed/not be up to date, and are for illustrative purposes only
