# OTS Signs Theme — Copilot Instructions
Custom Xibo CMS theme for OTS Signs digital signage service. Built with Twig templates, vanilla CSS, and vanilla JS. No build pipeline — all assets are inlined at runtime.
## Architecture
- **Template engine**: Twig, inheriting from Xibo core's `base.twig`
- **Entry point**: `ots-signs/views/authed.twig` — wraps all authenticated pages (sidebar + topbar + content)
- **CSS delivery**: CSS files are **inlined** inside `<style nonce="...">` tags via `theme-javascript.twig`, not served as static files. This is intentional — it avoids MIME routing issues under the `custom/` path and ensures CSP nonce compliance.
- **JS delivery**: Same inline strategy via `theme-scripts.twig`
- **Config**: `ots-signs/config.php` — sets theme name, URLs, feature flags
### Twig inheritance
```
base.twig (Xibo core)
├── authed.twig ← most pages extend this
│ ├── dashboard-icon-page.twig
│ ├── layout-page.twig
│ └── [40+ admin page templates]
└── login.twig
```
Partials included in `authed.twig`: `authed-sidebar.twig`, `authed-topbar.twig`, `authed-user-menu.twig`, `authed-notification-drawer.twig`
## Key Xibo Template APIs
These are available in all authenticated Twig templates:
```twig
{# Permission-gated rendering #}
{% if currentUser.featureEnabled("layout.view") %}...{% endif %}
{# User preferences #}
{% set navPos = currentUser.getOptionValue("navigationMenuPosition", "vertical") %}
{# Theme helpers #}
{{ theme.uri("css/override.css") }}
{{ theme.getSetting("DEFAULT_VALUE", fallback) }}
{{ url_for("routeName") }}
{{ trans("string") }}
```
## CSS Architecture
Primary file: `ots-signs/css/override.css`
- Primary color: `#e87800` (orange), exposed as `--primary-color`
- Dark background: `#0f172a`, surface: `#1e293b`
- Sidebar: 256px expanded / 64px collapsed (icon-only), controlled via CSS vars
- `override-dark.css` handles component-level dark mode, floating menus, DataTable contrast
Do **not** add a build step (Sass, PostCSS, etc.) without first discussing it — the inline delivery mechanism requires plain CSS.
## JS Conventions
Single file: `ots-signs/js/theme.js` (440+ lines)
- IIFE pattern — no module bundler
- Uses `localStorage` for theme (`ots-theme`) and sidebar state (`ots-sidebar-collapsed`)
- MutationObserver watches for Xibo's layout editor modal, sets `body.ots-playlist-editor-active`
- Mobile breakpoint: `768px`
## Deployment
Theme lives at: `web/theme/custom/otssigns-beta/` inside the Xibo CMS installation.
The `view_path` in `config.php` must point to the absolute path of the `views/` directory.
## Common UI Patterns
| Pattern | Key class/element |
|---------|------------------|
| Icon dashboard cards | `.icon-dash-card` with `--blue`, `--green`, `--purple`, `--teal` color vars |
| Data grids | `.XiboGrid` wrapper → DataTables (managed by Xibo core) |
| Filter panels | `.XiboFilter` with tab-based advanced filter |
| Page header | `.page-header` with `<h1>` + subtitle |
| Toast/alerts | Bootstrap `.alert-danger/warning/success/info` |
| Forms | `inline.*()` macro system from Xibo core |
## What This Repo Does NOT Have
- No `package.json`, no npm/yarn/pnpm
- No webpack, Vite, Gulp, or Parcel
- No TypeScript — plain JS only
- No PHP unit tests in this repo (Xibo core testing is separate)
- No CI/CD config
Don't suggest adding any of the above unless the user explicitly asks.

# Theme Customization Cookbook
Quick recipes for common customization tasks in your Xibo CMS theme.
## 1. Change Primary Brand Color
**File:** `css/override.css`
Find the `:root` selector and update:
```css
:root {
--color-primary: #006bb3; /* Change from blue #2563eb to custom blue */
--color-primary-dark: #004c80; /* Darker shade for hover/active states */
--color-primary-light: #1a9ad1; /* Lighter shade for backgrounds */
--color-primary-lighter: #d4e6f1; /* Very light for highlights */
}
```
This single change affects:
- Header bar background
- Sidebar primary colors
- Buttons, links, and focus states
- Widget title bars
## 2. Use a Custom Font
**File:** `css/override.css`
Replace the `--font-family-base` variable:
```css
:root {
/* Option A: Google Font (add to <head> in Twig override) */
--font-family-base: "Inter", "Segoe UI", sans-serif;
/* Option B: Local font file */
@font-face {
font-family: "MyCustomFont";
src: url('../fonts/my-font.woff2') format('woff2');
}
--font-family-base: "MyCustomFont", sans-serif;
}
```
To use Google Fonts, add this line to a Twig template (e.g., in a view override):
```html
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
```
## 3. Implement a Company Logo in Header
**Files:** `css/override.css` (styling), `img/` (asset)
1. Replace logo files in `custom/otssignange/img/`:
- `xibologo.png` (header logo, ~40x40px)
- `192x192.png` (app icon for app manifest)
- `512x512.png` (splash/bookmarklet icon)
2. If you need to style the logo more prominently, add to `override.css`:
```css
.navbar-brand {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
gap: var(--space-2);
padding-left: var(--space-4);
}
.navbar-brand img {
height: 40px;
width: auto;
}
```
## 4. Darken the Sidebar
**File:** `css/override.css`
Update sidebar color tokens:
```css
:root {
--color-surface: #2d3748; /* Darker gray instead of light */
--color-text-primary: #ffffff; /* White text on dark background */
}
#sidebar-wrapper {
background-color: #1a202c; /* Even darker for contrast */
}
ul.sidebar .sidebar-list a {
color: #cbd5e1; /* Light gray text */
}
ul.sidebar .sidebar-list a:hover {
background-color: #2d3748; /* Slightly lighter on hover */
color: #ffffff;
}
```
## 5. Increase Widget Spacing & Padding
**File:** `css/override.css`
Modify spacing tokens to make everything roomier:
```css
:root {
/* Scale up all spacing */
--space-4: 1.25rem; /* was 1rem (16px → 20px) */
--space-6: 2rem; /* was 1.5rem (24px → 32px) */
--space-8: 2.75rem; /* was 2rem (32px → 44px) */
}
.widget {
padding: var(--space-8); /* Uses new token value */
}
```
## 6. Remove Shadows (Flat Design)
**File:** `css/override.css`
Set all shadows to none:
```css
:root {
--shadow-xs: none;
--shadow-sm: none;
--shadow-base: none;
--shadow-md: none;
--shadow-lg: none;
--shadow-xl: none;
}
```
## 7. Customize Button Styles
**File:** `css/override.css`
Make buttons larger with more rounded corners:
```css
button,
.btn {
padding: var(--space-4) var(--space-6); /* Increase from var(--space-3) var(--space-4) */
border-radius: var(--radius-xl); /* Make more rounded */
font-weight: var(--font-weight-semibold); /* Make text bolder */
text-transform: uppercase; /* OPTIONAL: Uppercase labels */
letter-spacing: 0.05em; /* OPTIONAL: Wider letter spacing */
}
```
## 8. Force Light Mode (Disable Dark Mode)
**File:** `css/override.css`
Remove the dark mode media query or override it:
```css
/* Delete or comment out this section: */
/*
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
:root { ... }
}
*/
/* OR force light mode explicitly: */
:root {
color-scheme: light; /* Tells browser to not apply dark UI elements */
}
/* Force light colors even if system prefers dark */
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
:root {
/* Keep all light mode values, don't override */
}
}
```
## 9. Add a Custom Alert Style
**File:** `css/override.css`
Append a new alert variant (e.g., for secondary notifications):
```css
.alert-secondary {
background-color: #e2e8f0;
border-color: #cbd5e1;
color: #334155;
}
.alert-secondary a {
color: #2563eb;
font-weight: var(--font-weight-semibold);
}
```
Use in Xibo: Apply `.alert alert-secondary` class to a notification element.
## 10. Improve Form Focus States
**File:** `css/override.css`
Make focused form inputs more prominent:
```css
input[type="text"]:focus,
input[type="email"]:focus,
input[type="password"]:focus,
textarea:focus,
select:focus {
outline: none;
border-color: var(--color-primary);
box-shadow: 0 0 0 4px var(--color-primary-lighter), /* Outer glow */
0 0 0 1px var(--color-primary); /* Inner border */
background-color: #fafbff; /* Subtle highlight */
}
```
## 11. Create a Compact Theme Variant
**File:** `css/override.css`
Add a utility class for a denser layout:
```css
.theme-compact {
--space-4: 0.75rem;
--space-6: 1rem;
--font-size-base: 0.875rem; /* Slightly smaller text */
}
/* Apply to body or any container */
body.theme-compact {
/* All tokens inherit new values */
}
```
Then toggle with a Twig override or JS:
```javascript
document.body.classList.toggle('theme-compact');
```
## 12. Modify Widget Title Bar Colors
**File:** `css/override.css`
Make widget titles more distinctive:
```css
.widget .widget-title {
background: linear-gradient(135deg, var(--color-primary), var(--color-primary-dark));
color: var(--color-text-inverse);
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 0.05em;
font-size: var(--font-size-sm);
padding: var(--space-6);
border-bottom: 2px solid var(--color-primary-dark);
}
```
## 13. Style Table Headers Distinctly
**File:** `css/override.css`
Make tables look more modern:
```css
thead {
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, var(--color-primary-lighter), var(--color-gray-100));
}
th {
color: var(--color-primary);
font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold);
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 0.05em;
font-size: var(--font-size-sm);
padding: var(--space-6) var(--space-4);
border-bottom: 2px solid var(--color-primary);
}
tbody tr:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: var(--color-gray-50);
}
tbody tr:hover {
background-color: var(--color-primary-lighter);
}
```
## 14. Enable Full Dark Mode in Browser
Some users may have `prefers-color-scheme: dark` set. To test locally:
**Chrome DevTools:**
1. Open DevTools (F12)
2. Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac)
3. Type "rendering"
4. Select "Show Rendering"
5. Scroll to "Prefers color scheme" and select "dark"
6. Refresh page
**Firefox:**
1. about:config
2. Search for `ui.systemUsesDarkTheme`
3. Set to `1` for dark mode
## 15. Add Custom Utility Classes
**File:** `css/override.css`
Extend the theme with custom utilities at the end:
```css
/* Custom utilities */
.text-primary {
color: var(--color-primary);
}
.bg-primary {
background-color: var(--color-primary);
color: var(--color-text-inverse);
}
.border-primary {
border-color: var(--color-primary);
}
.opacity-50 {
opacity: 0.5;
}
.cursor-pointer {
cursor: pointer;
}
.no-wrap {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.flex-center {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
```
---
**Pro Tips:**
- Always test changes in a staging Xibo instance before deploying to production
- Use browser DevTools to inspect elements and live-edit CSS before making permanent changes
- Keep a backup of your original CSS before making large modifications
- Document any custom changes you make in comments within the CSS file for future reference

# Deployment Checklist & Quick Start
## Pre-Deployment Checklist
- [ ] Review the modern theme changes in [README.md](README.md)
- [ ] Test CSS syntax validation (no errors reported)
- [ ] Backup existing `custom/otssignange/css/override.css`
- [ ] Verify asset paths (logos, preview images)
- [ ] Check browser compatibility requirements
- [ ] Test on your development Xibo instance first
- [ ] Verify dark mode toggle if using system preference
- [ ] Test responsive layout on mobile devices
## Installation Steps
### Option A: Direct File Copy
```bash
# Navigate to your Xibo installation root
cd /path/to/xibo
# Backup original theme files
cp web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/override.css web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/override.css.backup
cp web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/html-preview.css web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/html-preview.css.backup
# Copy new theme files
cp /Users/matt/dev/theme/custom/otssignange/css/override.css web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/
cp /Users/matt/dev/theme/custom/otssignange/css/html-preview.css web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/
cp /Users/matt/dev/theme/custom/otssignange/css/client.css web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/
# Verify files copied
ls -la web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/
```
### Option B: Using Git (if version-controlled)
```bash
cd /path/to/xibo
git checkout web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/
# Or manually merge your changes with the new files
```
## Post-Deployment Validation
1. **Clear Xibo Cache** (if applicable):
```bash
# Xibo may cache CSS—clear if using PHP APC or similar
rm -rf web/uploads/temp/*
```
2. **Verify in Browser**:
- Open Xibo CMS admin interface
- Inspect elements for CSS color changes
- Check Network tab for CSS file loads (should see override.css)
- Verify no CSS errors in browser console
3. **Test Key Features**:
- [ ] Login page displays correctly
- [ ] Header bar shows primary color
- [ ] Sidebar navigation is styled properly
- [ ] Dashboard widgets render as cards with shadows
- [ ] Links have correct color and hover state
- [ ] Forms have proper focus states (blue outline)
- [ ] Mobile layout: open DevTools (F12) and resize to <640px
- [ ] Sidebar collapses into hamburger menu on mobile
- [ ] Dark mode: open DevTools → Rendering → Prefers color scheme: dark
4. **Check Asset Loading**:
- Verify `xibologo.png` displays in header
- Check preview splash screen background loads
- Confirm favicon appears in browser tab
## Rollback Plan
If issues occur:
```bash
cd /path/to/xibo
# Restore backup
cp web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/override.css.backup web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/override.css
cp web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/html-preview.css.backup web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/html-preview.css
# Optional: Remove new client.css if causing issues
rm web/theme/custom/otssignange/css/client.css
# Clear cache
rm -rf web/uploads/temp/*
# Refresh browser (Ctrl+Shift+R for hard refresh)
```
## Browser Support
### Fully Supported (CSS Variables)
- Chrome/Edge 49+
- Firefox 31+
- Safari 9.1+
- Opera 36+
- Mobile browsers (iOS Safari 9.3+, Chrome Mobile 49+)
### Partial Support (Fallbacks Recommended)
- IE 11 and below: Not supported
To add IE11 fallbacks, modify `override.css` (advanced):
```css
/* Fallback for older browsers */
.widget {
box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12), 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24); /* IE fallback */
box-shadow: var(--shadow-sm);
}
```
## Performance Notes
- **CSS File Size**: `override.css` is ~35KB (gzipped ~8KB)
- **Variables**: 70+ CSS variables—negligible performance impact
- **Dark Mode**: Uses `prefers-color-scheme` media query (no JavaScript required)
- **Responsive**: Mobile-first approach—efficient layout recalculation
## Next Steps
1. **Optional Enhancements**:
- Add SVG icon sprite to `img/` for consistent iconography
- Create Twig view overrides for deeper layout customization
- Implement user-controlled dark mode toggle
2. **Documentation**:
- See [CUSTOMIZATION.md](CUSTOMIZATION.md) for 15+ customization recipes
- See [README.md](README.md) for full feature documentation
3. **Testing in CI/CD**:
- Add CSS linter (stylelint) to your build pipeline
- Validate HTML/CSS in staging before production push
## Support & Troubleshooting
### Issue: CSS Not Loading
**Solution**:
- Hard refresh browser: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
- Check browser console for 404 errors on CSS files
- Verify file permissions: `chmod 644 override.css`
### Issue: Colors Look Wrong
**Solution**:
- Check if system dark mode is enabled (see Post-Deployment Validation)
- Verify `--color-primary` value in `:root` matches intended brand color
- Test in different browsers
### Issue: Sidebar Doesn't Collapse on Mobile
**Solution**:
- Verify viewport meta tag is in Xibo's `<head>`: `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">`
- Check browser DevTools for responsive mode enabled
- Ensure no custom CSS is overriding the media query
### Issue: Fonts Not Loading
**Solution**:
- Verify system fonts are available (`-apple-system`, `Segoe UI`, etc.)
- If using Google Fonts, check internet connectivity
- Add font-family fallback: `-fallback-font, sans-serif`

## 🌙 Dark Mode
All colors automatically switch when `prefers-color-scheme: dark` is detected:
```css
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
:root {
--color-background: #0f172a; /* Deep navy */

}
```
**Test in Browser DevTools:**
1. F12 (Open DevTools)
2. Ctrl+Shift+P (Search in Chrome)
3. Type "rendering"
4. Toggle "Prefers color scheme" to dark
5. Page updates instantly
---
## ♿ Accessibility
### Color Contrast
```
Element Ratio WCAG Level
Primary text on white 7:1 AAA
Secondary text on white 4.5:1 AA
Links on white 5:1 AA
Buttons 4.5:1 AA
```
### Focus Indicators
```css
*:focus-visible {
outline: 2px solid var(--color-primary); /* #2563eb */
outline-offset: 2px;
}
```
### Keyboard Navigation
- All interactive elements are tab-accessible
- Logical tab order maintained
- No keyboard traps
- Focus always visible
---
## 🔧 Using CSS Variables
### Override in Your Code
```css
/* In your custom CSS, you can override tokens: */
:root {
--color-primary: #006bb3; /* Your brand blue */
--font-size-base: 18px; /* Larger default text */
}
/* All components using tokens will update automatically */
```
### Reference in Components
```css
.my-component {
background: var(--color-surface);
color: var(--color-text-primary);
padding: var(--space-4);
border-radius: var(--radius-md);
box-shadow: var(--shadow-base);
}
```
### With Fallbacks (IE11 compat, optional)
```css
.my-component {
background: #f9fafb; /* Fallback */
background: var(--color-surface); /* Modern */
color: #1f2937; /* Fallback */
color: var(--color-text-primary); /* Modern */
}
```

## 📊 Quick Lookup Table
| Need | Variable | Value |
|------|----------|-------|
| Brand color | `--color-primary` | #2563eb |
| Button padding | `--space-3` + `--space-4` | 12px × 16px |
| Card shadow | `--shadow-base` | 4px 6px -1px rgba... |
| Body text | `--font-size-base` | 16px |
| Heading | `--font-size-2xl` | 24px |
| Default spacing | `--space-6` | 24px |
| Card radius | `--radius-lg` | 12px |
| Focus outline | `--color-primary` | #2563eb |
| Dark background | --color-surface (dark mode) | #1e293b |
---
## 🎓 Pro Tips
1. **Always use variables** — Don't hardcode colors or sizes
2. **Spacing is 8px-based** — Use `--space-*` for consistency
3. **Test dark mode** — Use DevTools (see above)
4. **Mobile-first queries** — Styles default to mobile, expand on larger screens
5. **Focus states matter** — Never remove `outline` without adding alternative
6. **Semantic colors** — Use `--color-surface` instead of hardcoding #ffffff

GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 19 November 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
software for all its users.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
and/or modify the software.
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
source code to the public.
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
code of the modified version.
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
this license.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions.
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
works, such as semiconductor masks.
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
on the Program.
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
form of a work.
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
is widely used among developers working in that language.
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
it, and giving a relevant date.
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
released under this License and any conditions added under section
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
"keep intact all notices".
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
included in conveying the object code work.
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
the only significant mode of use of the product.
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
the above requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
work and works based on it.
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
following paragraph.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
3 of the GNU General Public License.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new versions
will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published
by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
specific requirements.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.

```
### Typography

```
## Customization Guide
### Change Brand Color
Edit `override.css` root selector:
```css
:root {
--color-primary: #your-color;
--color-primary-dark: #darker-shade;
--color-primary-light: #lighter-shade;
}
```
### Update Typography
Modify font family and scale:
```css
:root {
--font-family-base: "Your Font", sans-serif;
--font-size-base: 1.125rem; /* Increase base from 16px to 18px */
}
```
### Adjust Spacing
Change the base spacing multiplier (affects all --space-* variables):
```css
/* If you prefer tighter spacing, reduce proportionally */
--space-4: 0.75rem; /* was 1rem */
--space-6: 1.125rem; /* was 1.5rem */
```
### Implement Dark Mode Toggle (Optional)
If you want a user-controlled toggle instead of system preference:
1. Add a button to toggle theme in a Twig view override
2. Store preference in localStorage
3. Add to `override.css`:
```css
[data-theme="dark"] {
--color-background: #0f172a;
--color-surface: #1e293b;
/* etc. */
}
```

1. **Navigate to theme directory:**
```bash
cd /path/to/xibo-cms/web/theme/custom/
```
2. **Copy the theme folder:**
```bash
cp -r /path/to/otssignstheme/custom/otssignange ./
```
3. **Enable in Xibo Admin:**
- Go to **Settings → Preferences → Themes**
- Select "OTS Signs" from the dropdown
- Click **Save**
4. **Clear caches:**
- Go to **Settings → Maintenance → Purge Cache**
- Refresh the page
### Option 2: Package for Distribution

```bash
cd /path/to/otssignstheme/custom/
zip -r ots-signs-theme.zip otssignange/
```
**Distribution contents:**
- `otssignange/` - Full theme directory
- `INSTALLATION.txt` - Setup instructions
- `LICENSE` - AGPL-3.0 license
---
## Customization
### Change Primary Color
Edit `css/override.css`, line ~10:
```css
--color-primary: #3b82f6; /* Change from blue to your color */
--color-primary-dark: #1d4ed8;
--color-primary-light: #60a5fa;
```
**Hex color suggestions:**
- Purple: `#8b5cf6`
- Red: `#ef4444`
- Green: `#10b981`
- Orange: `#f97316`
### Adjust Sidebar Width
Edit `css/override.css`, line ~58:
```css
.ots-sidebar {
width: 250px; /* Change to 280px, 300px, etc. */
}
.ots-main {
margin-left: 250px; /* Must match sidebar width */
}
```
### Customize Fonts
Edit `css/override.css`:
```css
/* Base font family */
--font-family-base: 'Inter', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;
/* Monospace (for code) */
--font-family-mono: 'Monaco', monospace;
```
### Add Company Logo
1. Place logo at `img/logo.png` (recommended: 40x40px, PNG/SVG)
2. Edit `views/authed-sidebar.twig`, line ~7:
```twig
<span class="brand-icon">🎯</span> <!-- Replace emoji with: -->
<img src="{{ baseUrl }}/theme/custom/otssignange/img/logo.png" alt="{{ app_name }}" style="width: 28px; height: 28px;" />
```

---
## Common Issues & Troubleshooting
### Issue: Sidebar not toggling on mobile
**Solution:** Ensure `theme.js` is loaded. Check browser console for errors:
```bash
Press F12 → Console tab → Look for red errors
```
### Issue: Dark theme not applying
**Solution:** Clear Xibo cache and browser cache:
1. **Xibo:** Settings → Maintenance → Purge Cache
2. **Browser:** Ctrl+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+Delete (Mac)
### Issue: Images in media grid not showing
**Solution:** Verify image URLs are accessible. Check:
1. File permissions (644 for files, 755 for directories)
2. Image format is supported (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP)
### Issue: Search bar styling broken
**Solution:** Ensure `override.css` is fully loaded. Check:
1. CSS file size: should be ~8-10 KB
2. No CSS parse errors in DevTools (F12 → Console)
---
## Development & Debugging
### Enable Debug Mode
Edit `config.php`:
```php
// Add at top of file
define('DEBUG', true);
```
### View Generated HTML
In browser, right-click → **Inspect Element** to see:
- DOM structure
- Applied CSS classes
- CSS rules (with file/line)
- SVG icons rendering
### Test Responsive Design
In browser DevTools (F12):
1. Click **Toggle Device Toolbar** (or Ctrl+Shift+M)
2. Select mobile device (iPhone 12, Pixel 5, etc.)
3. Test sidebar toggle, search, menus
---
## Performance Metrics
- **CSS file size:** ~8 KB (minified)
- **JS file size:** ~3 KB (minified)
- **Load time (typical):** <500ms additional
- **Lighthouse score:** 85+ (with proper images)
---
## Xibo CMS Integration Notes
### Theme Hooks (Twig Blocks)
The theme extends `base.twig` and overrides:
- `{% block head %}` - Link to custom CSS
- `{% block htmlTag %}` - Dark mode attribute
- `{% block body %}` - Custom shell structure
- `{% block header %}` - Topbar
- `{% block content %}` - Main content area
- `{% block footer %}` - Footer
- `{% block scripts %}` - Include theme.js
### Available Twig Variables
In views, you can access:
```twig
{{ baseUrl }} # Base URL of Xibo CMS
{{ app_name }} # Application name (from config.php)
{{ user.username }} # Current user's login
{{ currentDate }} # Current date/time
{{ pageTitle }} # Page title (from view)
{{ pageSubtitle }} # Optional page subtitle
```
### CSS Class Conventions
Custom classes follow BEM naming:
```
.ots-<component> # Root component
.ots-<component>__item # Child element
.ots-<component>--active # Modifier
```
---
## Future Enhancements
### Planned Features
- [ ] Light mode toggle (currently dark only)
- [ ] Custom color picker in admin
- [ ] Theme variants (compact, expanded sidebar)
- [ ] Export/import settings
- [ ] RTL (Right-to-Left) support
### Community Contribution Ideas
- Additional color schemes
- Accessibility improvements (AAA contrast)
- More page overrides (Settings, Users, Schedules)
- Keyboard navigation enhancements
- Dashboard widget system

<h1 id="cms_administrator_settings">CMS Administrator Settings <a href="#cms_administrator_settings" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h1>
<p>Like any complex application, the OTS Signs Command Center CMS comes with a number of configurable options. These are located from the <strong>Settings</strong> page under the <strong>Administration</strong> section of the main CMS menu.</p>
<p>Settings are split into related category tabs:</p>
<p><img src="img/v4_tour_cms_settings_admin.png" alt="CMS Settings" /></p>
<h2 id="configuration">Configuration <a href="#configuration" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>From this tab view the <strong>CMS Secret Key</strong> which is used to authenticate Players with the CMS and apply a <strong>Theme</strong> to pages (if applicable) as well as setting the default positioning for the <a href="tour_cms_navigation.html">Navigation Menu</a>.</p>
<h2 id="defaults">Defaults <a href="#defaults" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>Use this tab to apply defaults to all <a href="media_library.html">Media</a> files and set default <a href="configure_transitions.html">Transitions</a>.</p>
<p>You can also set Layouts to <strong>automatically Publish</strong> 30 minutes after the last recorded edit by enabling the checkbox for this setting.</p>
<h3>Resizing Images</h3>
<p>Default thresholds and limits can be specified which are then considered in the event an image should be resized. This could be when uploading an image or an image being downloaded by a Widget - NASA RSS in a Ticker Widget for example.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Resize Threshold</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Set a maximum threshold (based on the longest side) that should be considered for resizing an image.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>If you set a Resize Threshold of 1920 and you upload/download an image which is 800, this image would not need resizing. If you uploaded/downloaded an image which was 2400, this would then be resized to 1920.</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Resize Limit</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Set a limit (based on the longest side) for uploaded/downloaded images. Images that exceed this limit will not be processed and should be replaced with another image that is within the limit.</p>
<p>This setting will determine whether the image file is too large to be processed.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>DataSet maximum number of Rows</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Set the maximum permitted number of rows a User can create in a DataSet.</p>
<h2 id="<strong>displays</strong>"><strong>Displays</strong> <a href="#<strong>displays</strong>" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>Set defaults for <strong>Latitude</strong> and <strong>Longitude</strong> for all Geo aware previews throughout the CMS.</p>
<h3>Default Layout</h3>
<p>The Default Layout set here will be automatically assigned to all Displays to be shown when no other content is scheduled or if there is an issue which prevents a scheduled Event from being shown.</p>
<p>This global Default Layout can be overridden for individual Displays by selecting an alternative <a href="displays.html#content-default-layout">Default Layout</a> to be used.</p>
<h3>Proof of Play Default Settings</h3>
<p>Set the <strong>Aggregation level</strong> of collection of <a href="displays_metrics.html">Proof of Play</a> statistics to be applied to all <strong>Layouts</strong> / <strong>Media</strong> and <strong>Widget items</strong> as default.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Individual</strong> - statistics are recorded at the start and finish of each item individually and sent back to the CMS at each collection interval.</li>
<li>
<strong>Hourly</strong> - records each item once, and includes the total number of times played and the length of time played during the hour and is sent back to the CMS on the next collection interval after the hour period has expired.</li>
<li>
<strong>Daily</strong> - records each item once, and includes the total number of times played and the length of time played during the day and is sent back to the CMS on the next collection interval after the day has expired.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Players aggregate completed records only, with collection made at the end of the Widgets duration so if a Widget has a duration of 3 hours, the stat will be recorded once the Widget has expired!</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Use this box to <strong>enable the collection</strong> of Proof of Play statistics to all <strong>Displays</strong> as default.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>This can be toggled on/off by editing <a href="displays_settings.html#content-editing-profiles">Display Setting Profiles</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Tick the box to set the default to on for the collection of Proof of Play statistics for all newly added <strong>Layouts</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Collection can be disabled by unticking the box on the <strong>Add/Edit</strong> Layout form.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Use the settings to enable the collection of Proof of Play statistics to apply to all <strong>Media</strong>, <strong>Playlist</strong> and <strong>Widgets</strong> (Off/On/Inherit).</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>It is intended to have <strong>Widget</strong> always set to Inherit so that Layout and Media options control the collection!</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="general">General <a href="#general" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>View/set the address for the <strong>User Manual</strong> and tick to send <strong>anonymous statistics</strong> to help improve the software.</p>
<h3>Tidy Library (Global)</h3>
<p>The Library can be <em>tidied</em> by a Super Administrator or User so that it is kept clean and small.
<strong>Actions cannot be reversed so this must be used with caution.</strong></p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>This might be of particular interest if the CMS is installed on a web server that has quotas or if Users have been assigned their own quotas.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Administrators can initiate a system-wide Library tidy operation by clicking the <strong>Tidy Library</strong> button in the right hand corner of the Settings page:</p>
<p><img src="img/v4_tour_cms_settings_tidy_library.png" alt="Settings Tidy Library" /></p>
<p>As this functionality is system-wide and therefore operates on <strong>ALL</strong> User files, confirmation is required to remove unused and old revisions.</p>
<p>This option is more comprehensive and removes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Temporary files</li>
<li>Orphaned files</li>
<li>Thumbnails</li>
<li>Media revisions that arent used anywhere</li>
<li>Media that isnt used anywhere (on any Layouts / Display Groups / Displays)</li>
<li>Generic files uploaded to the CMS</li>
</ul>
<h4>Orphaned files</h4>
<p>Orphaned files are a rare occurrence where a file stored on disk in the Library folder is not deleted when the Media item is deleted from the Library. This means that the file exists but the CMS doesnt know anything about it.</p>
<h3>Tidy from User Library</h3>
<p>Allow a User to tidy files from the <a href="media_library.html#content-tidy-library">Library</a> page by using the checkbox to <strong>Enable Library Tidy</strong>.</p>
<h2 id="maintenance">Maintenance <a href="#maintenance" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>

<h2 id="network">Network <a href="#network" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>From the Network tab complete an <strong>Admin email address</strong> for the overall CMS administrator. All email notifications generated by the CMS will be sent to this address.</p>
<p>Ensure that the <strong>Sending email address</strong> and <strong>name</strong> is completed prior to setting up any further email notifications throughout the CMS.</p>
<h2 id="sharing">Sharing <a href="#sharing" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>Use the dropdown to change how Widget colour appears in Playlists for Users.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Media Colouring</strong> will use the colours from the <strong>theme</strong> for each Widget.</li>
<li>
<strong>Sharing Colouring</strong> will show the Widget colour based on <strong>User access</strong> from <strong>Sharing</strong> options. (Green = editable)</li>
</ul>
<p>From here you can set if Users should have the ability to schedule to Displays when Share options are set to View for the User as well as being able to set whether Users should be able to see the names of Layouts in schedules that have not been shared with them.</p>
<p>Tick to allow Users to save their content into the top level <a href="configure_folders.html">Root Folder</a> or disable to force Users to select a Folder to save to.</p>

<h3>Password Policy</h3>
<p>Enter any valid regular expression in the <strong>Password Policy Regular Expression</strong> field so all password change requests and newly created passwords are tested against this.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>A text description will be shown to Users when their passwords do not meet the required policy as a prompt!</p>
</blockquote>
<h3>Password Reminder</h3>
<p>Enable to provide a <strong>Forgotten your Password</strong> reset link for <strong>Users</strong> at login so they can easily regain access to the CMS.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Ensure that a valid <strong>Sending email address</strong> has been entered on the <strong>Network</strong> tab before enabling this functionality!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The User will be shown a link which once clicked will send a <strong>Password Reset Notification</strong> to their email address as recorded on their User Profile.</p>

<p>OTS Signs Command Center contains an API that allows 3rd party applications to connect and consume its data.</p>
<p>Applications are added and configured from <strong>Applications</strong> under the <strong>Administration</strong> section of the main CMS menu.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Before using an Application, each User must authorise the application to act on their behalf within the CMS.
Users can view authorised Applications from the My Applications section of their <strong>User Profile</strong>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>At the current time the CMS does not provide individual Users with a method of revoking access to an application. Only an Administrator can remove an application completely.</p>
<h2 id="fonts">Fonts <a href="#fonts" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>OTS Signs Command Center comes with a set of standard fonts which can be set on many Widgets:</p>
<ul>
<li>Aileron Heavy Regular (Aileron-Heavy.otf)</li>
<li>Aileron Regular (Aileron-Regular.otf)</li>
<li>Dancing Script Regular (DancingScript-Regular.ttf)</li>
<li>Railway Regular (Railway.ttf)</li>

<h1 id="folders">Folders <a href="#folders" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h1>
<p>Folders are used throughout the CMS and provide a great way to organise and easily locate user items within the CMS. Additionally Folders can have view, edit, delete sharing options applied which will apply to all items saved to the Folder, making it an efficient way to control User/User Group permissions for User items.</p>
<p>Administrators are encouraged to assign User Groups to their Users, and then use Folder Share options to give these Users appropriate access to each others content. Folders can be assigned to new Users from the on-boarding wizard to ensure that they are up and running from the start.</p>
<p>Folders are managed from the Administration section of the main CMS menu where administrators can see detailed information including who the Folder has been shared with and a breakdown of its contents.</p>
<h3>Creating Folders</h3>
<p>Only administrators can create <strong>Folders</strong> under the <strong>Root Folder</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Right click the <strong>Root Folder</strong> and select <strong>Create</strong> to add a new Folder to the tree.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Further options are available from the context menu by right clicking a Folder.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Configure View, Edit and Delete <strong>Share</strong> options to apply to Users/User Groups for individual Folders.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Once set, all items contained or moved to that Folder will inherit the applied options.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Only Administrators can set Share options for Folders.
All elements of an item that need to be shared should also be moved to the Folder. This includes Media files contained on Layouts, and Layouts within Campaigns, as an example, if Users also require access to those.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Users can be granted access via the <strong>Feature</strong> functionality, to create sub-folders under parent folders they have been given access to.</p>
<p>Sub-Folders added to a Folder will inherit any applied Share options from the Main Folder.</p>
<h3>Home Folder</h3>
<p>Assign a Home Folder to existing Users:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to <strong>Users</strong> under the <strong>Administration</strong> section of the main CMS menu.</li>
<li>Use the row menu and select <strong>Set Home Folder</strong>.</li>
<li>Select a Folder to use, or right click to create a new Folder.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>If you want Group Administrator to have the ability to set Home Folder for Users, ensure that they have the appropriate <strong>Feature</strong> enabled!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If a Folder is not selected, new content will automatically save into a Users default Home Folder location.</p>
<h3>Force Saving to a Folder</h3>
<p>Administrators can prevent Users from saving into the Root Folder and instead force them to select a Folder before saving by disabling the user of the Root Folder as a default:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Navigate to <strong>Settings</strong> under the <strong>Administration</strong> section of the main CMS menu.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click on the <strong>Sharing</strong> tab.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Untick <strong>Allow saving in the root folder</strong> option.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click the <strong>Save</strong> button at the bottom.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Once configured a User <em><strong>must</strong></em> select a named Folder.</p>
<h3>Move Folder</h3>
<p>Folders can be moved to another Folder location and added as a Sub-Folder using the <strong>Move Folder</strong> option from the context menu for a Folder.</p>
<p>The Folder and any contained sub-folders will be moved as a new sub-folder within the new Folder location maintaining the original Folder structure.</p>
<p>Moving a Folder that does not have any Share options set, will inherit any applied <strong>Share</strong> options of the destination Folder.</p>
<p>You can also select the <strong>Merge</strong> option to add the original Folder contents to the selected location, with the original Folder being deleted from the Folder tree.</p>
<h2 id="folder_management">Folder Management <a href="#folder_management" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>Administrators can view, create and manage all Folders of the CMS from the Folders page under the Administration section of the main CMS menu.</p>
<p>This management page will show the Folders that have been shared with Users as well as folder contents. When viewing sub-folders from here, only the directly assigned share options will be shown, inherited options will not be shown.</p>
<p>As only empty folders can be removed, move, merge or delete contents before removing the folder.</p>

<h1 id="tags">Tags <a href="#tags" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h1>
<p>Tags are used throughout the CMS in order to easily organise and categorise items to make it easier for Users to locate and use. Tags act as keywords or labels which when assigned to items enhances the search functionality for Users.</p>
<p>Tags can be created by Users from various forms throughout the CMS, as well as created and managed by Administrators from the Tags page under the Administration section of the main CMS menu.</p>
<p>Create and assign <strong>Tags</strong> to items throughout the CMS using the Tag field on forms. As text is entered, an auto-complete helper will show possible matches to make it easier for Users to see what Tags are already available to select from:</p>
<ul>
<li>Select a <strong>Tag</strong> from the list or create a new one by directly typing in the Tag field.</li>
</ul>
<p>Tags can also be be created by Administrators from the <strong>Tags</strong> page under the <strong>Administration</strong> section of the main CMS menu.</p>
<ul>
<li>Click the <strong>Add Tag</strong> button and give it a <strong>Name</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Tags can optionally have Tag Values associated with them. For example, you could have a Reception Tag, with reception areas across multiple sites. These could be differentiated using Values by creating a comma separated string of numbers, 1,2,3.</p>
<p>The <strong>Required Value</strong> checkbox is used to ensure that a User <em><strong>must</strong></em> select a Value in order to successfully assign the Tag to the item.</p>
<p>Once enabled, when the Tag is selected by Users, any associated Values will be shown for selection. A warning message will be shown to Users who do not select a Value to prompt them to do so.</p>
<p>Users can also add associated Values to Tags using the <strong>Tag Value</strong> field in forms.</p>
<p>Administrators can view all <strong>System Tags</strong> from the Tag management page and view Usage reports using the row menu for each individual Tag.</p>
<p>Use the <strong>With Selected</strong> option at the bottom of the grid to <strong>Delete</strong> Tags in bulk.</p>

<li>Enter <code>-Tag|Value</code> to exclude both tag and value from search results.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can have a comma separated mix of all the above!</p>

<p><img src="img/v4_tour_transitions_grid.png" alt="Transitions Grid" /></p>

<blockquote class="tip"><p>The Transition form adapts depending on the Transition selected and the options available for that transition. In most cases it is necessary to select a duration for the Transition in Milliseconds and in the case of Fly, a direction must also be selected.</p>

<h2 id="playlist_exit_transition">Playlist Exit Transition <a href="#playlist_exit_transition" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>A Playlist Exit Transition happens when the last Media Item to be displayed on a <a href="media_playlists.html">Playlist</a> is shown and allows for a different Exit Transition to be set.</p>

<p>OTS Signs Command Center helps you display content on your screens; whether you have existing content or need to create your own, to show on 1 screen or a 100.000, OTS Signs Command Center makes it easy!</p>
<p>OTS Signs Command Center uses the concept of Displays which are managed from the CMS to control when and how content is shown as well as provide device management tools for Users.</p>
<p>A <strong>Display</strong> is an essential part of digital signage as is it bridges the communication between the <strong>CMS</strong> software (Content Management System) and <strong>Media Player App</strong>.</p>
<p>The <strong>Player App</strong> is installed onto a <strong>Media Player</strong>, which can be a separate physical hardware device attached to a screen or an integrated Media Player found in supported System on Chip (SoC) professional signage monitors. A hardware key is generated on installing the Player App which creates a unique <strong>Display</strong> record in the CMS.</p>
<p>Once installed, the Player App must be <strong>Connected</strong> to the CMS by using a <strong>Code</strong> or by providing a <strong>CMS Key</strong>. Once connected a <strong>Display</strong> will be registered awaiting <strong>Authorisation</strong> in the CMS before it will become a managed device and start displaying content from the CMS.</p>
<h2 id="creating_a_display">Creating a Display <a href="#creating_a_display" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<ol>
<li>
<strong>Download</strong> the Player App</li>
<li>
<strong>Install</strong> to the Player device. Some supported (SoC) System on Chip models will already have the Player App installed.</li>
<li>
<strong>Connect</strong> the Player App to the CMS.</li>
<li>
<strong>Authorise</strong> the Display using the row menu from the <strong>Displays</strong> page in the CMS.</li>
</ol>
<p>The Display will regularly connect to the CMS to check for any updated <a href="scheduling_events.html">schedule</a> information or any new content to download. The Displays grid will update to show the status, indicate if the Display has logged in recently, show the date and time stamp of when the Display was last accessed etc, to help you manage your network.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Any updates will be downloaded and saved to the Player App. This means that if a connection issue were to arise between the Display and CMS, the Display would continue to show scheduled content offline until the connection was restored.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Manage <strong>Displays</strong> from the CMS and use the range of device management tools to effectively control your network. You can organise Displays into <a href="displays_groups.html">Display Groups</a>, apply configuration using <a href="displays_settings.html">Display Setting Profiles</a>, and monitor performance with <a href="displays_metrics.html">Reporting</a>.</p>

<p><em><strong>Which Players can connect to the CMS using code?</strong></em></p>
<p>All Players, at the latest version support connecting via a code, with the exception of the Linux Player.</p>
<p><em><strong>Can I easily transfer a Display to another CMS?</strong></em></p>
<p>First you need to ensure that you have Two Factor Authentication set up, from the User Profile to use Transfer to another CMS setting from a Display row menu. Multiple Displays can be transferred using the With Selected option at the bottom of the Displays grid.</p>
<p><em><strong>Do the Player and CMS versions have to match?</strong></em></p>
<p>Our recommendation is that your CMS and Players should be of the same major version for the best results.</p>
<p><em><strong>What does it mean to Assign Files / Assign Layouts?</strong></em></p>
<p>Library files and Layouts can be directly assigned to a Display so that they are always available in the local library of the Player. This is useful for pre-loading a Layout ahead of time when the Layout will be used for some API integration to trigger a change for example. Content will still need to be scheduled to show on Displays.</p>

<p>The Command Functionality in OTS Signs Command Center is used to configure a set of Commands for a User to select to execute via <strong>XMR</strong>, in a <strong>Schedule</strong> or include in a <strong>Layout</strong>.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Commands can have Command Strings to apply to all Players or have a different Command String per Player which is particularly useful if your network is mixed / connected to different Displays or have slightly different Player hardware.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A <strong>Command record</strong> is created which allows for a “generic command” to be created which can be used across <strong>Display Profiles</strong>, <strong>Scheduled Events</strong> and the <strong>Shell Command Widget</strong>.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Commands provide easy access to functionality for RS232, Android Intents and Philips SoC (system on chip)!</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="command_management">Command Management <a href="#command_management" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>Commands are created and managed from <strong>Commands</strong> under the <strong>Displays</strong> section of the main CMS menu:</p>
<p><img src="img/v4_displays_commands.png" alt="Display Commands" /></p>
<p>Use the row menu for a Command to Edit, Delete and set <a href="users_features_and_sharing.html#content-share">Share</a> options.</p>
<h3>Add Command</h3>
<p>Click on the <strong>Add Command</strong> button and complete the relevant form fields:</p>
<p><img src="img/v4_displays_commands_add_command.png" alt="add_command" /></p>
<p>Use the <strong>Command</strong> drop down menu to select from one of the following options to configure:</p>
<h4>Free Text</h4>
<p>Type in a Command String</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>The Command String represents the final executed Command and can be a direct call to the shell or can have a <strong>helper</strong> specified, see “Helpers” section below.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4>Philips Android</h4>
<p>The following commands can be used to control LEDs located on the sides of some commercial Phillips Displays:</p>
<pre><code>tpv_led|off
tpv_led|red
tpv_led|green
tpv_led|blue
tpv_led|white
</code></pre>
<p>From Android v2 R215, integration has been added to power on/off the screen backlight by using the following commands:</p>
<pre><code>tpv|backlighton
tpv|backlightoff
</code></pre>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>The below commands can be used for one specific Android 4 model only; 2016 model <a href="https://www.philips.co.uk/p-p/10BDL3051T_00/signage-solutions-multi-touch-display">10BDL3051T</a></p>
<pre><code>tpv|screenoff
tpv|screenon
</code></pre>
<p><code>screenoff</code> will turn the screen off and put in a lower power state which can then be turned back on with <code>screenon</code>.</p>
<p>For all other models, please use <code>backlighton/off</code> as <code>screenoff</code> will power completely off resulting in the need for an on site restart!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Mute/unmute commands have also been added from v2 R215:</p>
<pre><code>tpv|mute
tpv|unmute
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> <code>backlighton/off</code> doesnt mute audio, so if you have audio playing you will will also want to schedule the above <code>mute/unmute</code> commands at the same time.</p>
<h4>RS232</h4>
<p>RS232 commands can be executed on Players by using the <code>rs232</code> prefix in the Command String. The format of the command is <code>rs232|&lt;connection string&gt;|&lt;command&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>The connection string should be provided in the following format on Windows:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;COM#&gt;,&lt;Baud Rate&gt;,&lt;Data Bits&gt;,&lt;Parity|None,Odd,Even,Mark,Space&gt;,&lt;StopBits|None,One,Two,OnePointFive&gt;,&lt;Handshake|None,XOnXOff,RequestToSend,RequestToSendXOnXOff&gt;,&lt;HexSupport|0,1,default 0&gt;
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> If you need to send your Command in HEX format, you should specify the byte string in the Command String, for example: <code>7E 00 00 FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF</code> , this will be converted to a byte stream by the player. You will need to set the <code>HexSupport</code> element of the connection string to <code>1</code>.</p>
<p>The connection string should be provided in the following format on Android:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;DeviceName&gt;,&lt;Baud Rate&gt;,&lt;Data Bits&gt;,&lt;Parity&gt;,&lt;StopBits&gt;,&lt;FlowControl&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>Each setting is represented by a corresponding number:</p>
<pre><code>DATA_BITS_5 = 5;
DATA_BITS_6 = 6;
DATA_BITS_7 = 7;
DATA_BITS_8 = 8;
PARITY_NONE = 0;
PARITY_ODD = 1;
PARITY_EVEN = 2;
PARITY_MARK = 3;
PARITY_SPACE = 4;
STOP_BITS_1 = 1;
STOP_BITS_15 = 3;
STOP_BITS_2 = 2;
FLOW_CONTROL_OFF = 0;
FLOW_CONTROL_RTS_CTS = 1;
FLOW_CONTROL_DSR_DTR = 2;
FLOW_CONTROL_XON_XOFF = 3;
</code></pre>
<p>The Command itself is a string which gets sent over RS232 using the connection details.</p>
<h4>Android Intent</h4>
<p>Android Display Profiles can use the <code>intent</code> helper to specify an intent that should be called when the Command executes. The format of the Command is <code>intent|&lt;type|activity,service,broadcast&gt;|&lt;activity&gt;|[&lt;extras&gt;]</code> .</p>
<p><code>[&lt;extras&gt;]</code> is an optional parameter available from <strong>Android v2 R206</strong> used to provide additional data to the Intent. This must be a JSON formatted string containing an array with at least one object. The object format is below and must be on one line.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
&quot;name&quot;: &quot;&lt;extra name&gt;&quot;,
&quot;type&quot;: &quot;&lt;type|string,int,bool,intArray&gt;&quot;,
&quot;value&quot;: &lt;the value of the above type&gt;
}
</code></pre>
<p>For example, on some devices you can program the firmware to set on/off times.</p>
<pre><code>[{
&quot;name&quot;: &quot;timeon&quot;,
&quot;type&quot;: &quot;intArray&quot;,
&quot;value&quot;: [2018, 7, 28, 8, 40]
}, {
&quot;name&quot;: &quot;timeoff&quot;,
&quot;type&quot;: &quot;intArray&quot;,
&quot;value&quot;: [2018, 7, 28, 21, 40]
}]
</code></pre>
<p>This would be set on the command as:</p>
<pre><code>intent|broadcast|activity|[{ &quot;name&quot;: &quot;timeon&quot;, &quot;type&quot;: &quot;intArray&quot;, &quot;value&quot;: [2018, 7, 28, 8, 40] }, { &quot;name&quot;: &quot;timeoff&quot;, &quot;type&quot;: &quot;intArray&quot;, &quot;value&quot;: [2018, 7, 28, 21, 40] }]
</code></pre>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Commands containing an intent helper are ignored in the Windows Player!</p>
</blockquote>
<h3>Helpers</h3>
<p><strong>Command Helpers</strong> are prefixes that can be added to the Command String in order to take a more advanced action. Commands without a prefix are executed in the shell of the operating system which runs the Player. <code>cmd.exe</code> on Windows and <code>shell</code> on Android.</p>
<h3>Validation</h3>
<p>The <strong>Validation String</strong> is used as a comparison to the <strong>Command</strong> output and if it matches then the Command is considered a success. The Validation String must be an exact match.</p>
<p>This could be useful for a network of mixed Windows and Android Players with a command called Reboot. The Command String for Reboot on Windows being <code>shutdown /r /t 0</code>, and on Android, it is <code>reboot</code>.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>The same can also be useful with a non-mixed network - imagine a network of Windows players with different monitors connected over HDMI/RS232. A single Command called Monitor On can be created with the different brands of monitor represented by different Display Settings Profiles, each can have a different Command String to turn the monitor on/off.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3>Available on</h3>
<p>Select which type of Display the Command will be available on, leave blank to apply the Command to all types of Display.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p><strong>Command</strong> and <strong>Validation</strong> strings can be overridden by editing a <a href="displays_settings.html#setting_on_the_display">Display Profile</a> and using the <strong>Command</strong> tab!</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="send_command_xmr">Send Command XMR <a href="#send_command_xmr" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>Execute Commands via <strong>XMR</strong> from Displays/Display Groups using the row menu:</p>
<h2 id="scheduling_commands">Scheduling Commands <a href="#scheduling_commands" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p><strong>Schedule Commands</strong> so that they are executed at a specific time</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Click on <strong>Schedule</strong> from the main CMS menu.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select <a href="scheduling_events.html#content-add-event">Add Event</a> from the top of the Schedule grid.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>From the Event Type drop down select <strong>Command</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Complete the form fields and select the <strong>Command</strong> to use and <strong>Start Time</strong>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>Scheduled commands are executed once on the Player and only require a <strong>Start</strong> date and time. The Command can be executed up to 10 seconds after the time selected.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="shell_commands">Shell Commands <a href="#shell_commands" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>Use the <a href="media_module_shellcommand.html">Shell Command Widget</a> to run external Commands based on the Layouts activity.</p>
<p>Shell Commands with a Command as their source act in the same fashion as normal shell commands. The Command is executed when the Widget is shown on the Layout.</p>
<p>A Shell Command can also be a Command String with options for all Players provided. This allows Users to add Commands ad-hoc for one-time use.</p>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>We recommend that Administrators create predefined commands when possible!</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="monitor_on/off">Monitor ON/OFF <a href="#monitor_on/off" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<h3>HDMI-CEC</h3>
<p>HDMI-CEC is a bus that is implemented on nearly all new large-screen TVs that have HDMI connectors. This bus (which is physically connected within normal HDMI cables) supports control signals that can perform power-on, power off, volume adjusts, selection of video source and many of the features that are accessible via the TVs remote control. It can also control most other hardware on the HDMI bus.</p>
<p>OTS Signs Command Center doesnt provide a direct interface to HDMI-CEC as there are many different manufacturer specifications, however, it is possible to control HDMI-CEC via a batch file.</p>
<h3>Serial/RS232</h3>
<p>Industry grade monitors often have a serial interface for turning the monitor panel on and off. OTS Signs Command Center can use the RS232 Command helper to send these Commands to the monitor - usually in HEX mode.</p>
<p>The following monitors and Commands have been tested:</p>
<h4>NEC E464</h4>
<ul>
<li>Power On - <code>rs232|COM1,9600,8,None,One,None,1|01 30 41 30 41 30 43 02 43 32 30 33 44 36 30 30 30 31 03 73 0d</code>
</li>
<li>Power Off - <code>rs232|COM1,9600,8,None,One,None,1|01 30 41 30 41 30 43 02 43 32 30 33 44 36 30 30 30 34 03 76 0d</code>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Sharp LC-42D69U</h4>
<ul>
<li>Power On - <code>rs232|COM1,9600,8,None,One,None,1|50 4F 57 52 31 20 20 20 0D</code>
</li>
<li>Power Off - <code>rs232|COM1,9600,8,None,One,None,1|50 4F 57 52 00 20 20 20 0D</code>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>LG 55LK520</h4>
<ul>
<li>Power On - <code>rs232|COM1,9600,8,None,One,None,1|6B 61 20 30 30 20 30 31 0D</code>
</li>
<li>Power Off - <code>rs232|COM1,9600,8,None,One,None,1|6B 61 20 30 30 20 30 30 0D</code>
</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tip"><p>It should be noted that other models of each brand should also use the same Commands.</p>

<p>Once Displays have been connected, they are configured and managed from the <strong>Displays</strong> page inside the CMS.</p>
<p>In order to start showing content, <strong>Displays</strong> must be <strong>Authorised</strong> with the CMS. Check the Displays grid to make sure the right Displays are showing as <strong>Authorised</strong>, as a first step.</p>
<ul>
<li>Give the <strong>Display</strong> a friendly name for easier identification within the CMS by using the <strong>Edit</strong> option from the row menu.</li>

<p>Now is a great time to assign your Display a <strong>Default Layout</strong>. The Default Layout is shown when there is nothing else <a href="scheduling_events.html">scheduled</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Scroll down the form to select a <a href="layouts_editor.html">Layout</a> to use as the default. This Layout will be shown when there is no content scheduled or an issue arises that prevents scheduled content from showing on your Display.</li>

<ul>
<li>
<p>Click on the <strong>Details</strong> tab to provide further information about your Display.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Setting the <strong>Latitude</strong> and <strong>Longitude</strong> of the Display, will show its location on the map view.</p>

<li>Set <strong>Timezones</strong> to ensure that content is shown at the right time for your Display location.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each Display is assigned a default profile which will automatically apply its settings to all Displays of the same type.

<h1 id="display_groups">Display Groups <a href="#display_groups" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h1>
<p>Group together specific <strong>Displays</strong> to allow content and schedules to span multiple Displays with just one configured <strong>Event</strong>, saving time and reducing errors. Grouping Displays makes it easier to manage an expanding network. Simply add newly connected <strong>Displays</strong> to an existing <strong>Display Group</strong> to inherit schedules and to quickly start showing content.</p>
<p>Group Displays by industry or location to make it easier to update and target content which differs by areas or purpose.</p>
<p>Display Groups can contain a mix of singular <strong>Displays</strong> as well as other <strong>Display Groups</strong> to allow you to easily target the right Displays to show your content.</p>
<p>For example, you could have Displays located within stores over different levels, intended to reach differing audiences so could have Display Groups that contain:</p>
<ul>
<li>All Displays in store A</li>
<li>All Displays in store B</li>
<li>All Displays that are street facing</li>
<li>All Displays on level 1</li>
<li>All Displays on level 2</li>
<li>All internal Displays</li>
<li>All external Displays</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Create Display Groups</strong> and automatically assign <strong>Displays</strong> with matching criteria <strong>dynamically</strong> or <strong>manually</strong> selecting Display membership.</p>
<ul>
<li>Click on Add Display Group from the Display Groups grid.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="dynamic_groups">Dynamic Groups <a href="#dynamic_groups" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>To assign members dynamically, tick the <strong>Dynamic Group</strong> checkbox.</p>
<ul>
<li>Set the <strong>filter criteria</strong> to use in the format of regular comma separated expressions or simple string comparisons.</li>
<li>Prefix expressions with a <code>-</code> to exclude from filters. For example, all Displays containing <code>a</code> but not <code>b</code> in the name would be <code>a, -b</code>
</li>
<li>
<strong>Criteria Tags</strong> can also be filtered using additional OR/AND filters for Displays with multiple Tags assigned.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="manual_groups">Manual Groups <a href="#manual_groups" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>To assign members manually, leave the checkbox unticked and click to Save the form:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use the row menu for the new Display Group record and select <strong>Members</strong> using the checkbox for each Display.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Relationship Tree shows the ancestors and descendants. Parent Display Groups, shown above the selected Group will pass their schedule down to the Displays groups underneath.</p>
<h2 id="nested_groups">Nested Groups <a href="#nested_groups" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
<p>Display Groups can be nested to simplify scheduling to allow sub-groups to inherit permissions from a parent group.</p>

<p>Each Display has settings which can be configured individually. Settings can vary depending on the platform/media player type, using <strong>Display Setting Profiles</strong> you can easily apply different settings to <strong>Displays</strong> of the same platform or type.</p>
<p>Once connected to the CMS, each <strong>Display</strong> is assigned a default <strong>Display Profile</strong> to apply settings to Displays of the corresponding type.</p>
<p>Profiles can be customised or new ones added to suit Display requirements. For ease use the row menu and <strong>Copy</strong> an existing <strong>Profile</strong> to quickly create new Profiles with the required settings.</p>
<p>Use Display Profiles to provide your <strong>Licence Pool Code</strong> to all of your Displays centrally for easier licensing which is less prone to error than entering codes manually per device.</p>
<p>Create Display Profiles to cater for Landscape and Portrait <strong>orientations</strong> or to apply different <strong>operating hours</strong> or a Display Profile for devices that require <strong>multiple decoders</strong> enabled for example.</p>
<p>If individual Displays require different settings from those set in a Display Profile, override settings by editing the Display from the Displays grid.</p>

<p><strong>Create</strong> a <strong>Playlist</strong> of content and <strong>Schedule</strong> to show on <strong>Displays</strong>.</p>
<p>You may have a set of content collated to meet a specific requirement which need to be shown in a rotating sequence on Displays. Playlists allow users to streamline resources and organise multiple content types to play in the order they need to be displayed.</p>
<p>Playlists can have content added by automatic assignment based on selected criteria or by manual selection. For this example Image content already uploaded to the CMS Media Library will be added to a Playlist manually.</p>

</li>
<li>
<p>Use the row menu and select <strong>Schedule</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select which <strong>Displays</strong> to show the video on.</p>

<li>
<p>If you want to use the default <strong>Always</strong> schedule, and happy with the default settings and have no further scheduling options to set, you can click <strong>Finish</strong> to complete the schedule.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you want to select alternative created <strong>Dayparts</strong> or <strong>Custom</strong> dates, select <strong>Next</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>To configure advanced scheduling options and override the duration of the video for example, click <strong>Next</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Duration in loop</strong> determines how long this video should be shown each time it appears in a <strong>Schedule Loop</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can specify a <strong>duration</strong> here and provide a lower duration to cut the video short. When setting a higher duration, the video will loop back to the beginning and play to satisfy the duration applied.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click to <strong>Finish</strong> once all relevant fields have been completed.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The CMS will now update a Schedule change and your Video will be shown on Displays for the timings set in the schedule.</p>

<p><em><strong>I dont see the wizard when scheduling a Video?</strong></em></p>
<p>A wizard was introduced in v4.4 to simplify the scheduling process. Use the link to view the earlier flow: <a href="getting_started_showing_a_video_v4.html">Showing a Video</a></p>
<p><em><strong>What are Schedule Loops?</strong></em></p>
<p>A Schedule Loop is how media content will play when in schedules with other media content. For example, if you have scheduled 2 media items each with a 10 second duration to be shown at the same time for 1 hour, both items will play for their 10 second durations in fair rotation for the scheduled time.</p>
<p><em><strong>Which file format is recommended for Videos?</strong></em></p>
<p>We recommend H264 MP4 file format.</p>

<p>Add a <strong>Video</strong> file to your <strong>Media Library</strong> and <strong>Schedule</strong> to play on <strong>Displays</strong>.</p>
<p>You may have Video content which has been created to showcase product promotions or show company updates to employees, ready to be shown full screen on your Display network.</p>
<p>Video files are first added to the Library by upload or by URL. For this example a Video file will be uploaded to the CMS Media Library.</p>
<h3>Add Media</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Click on <strong>Media</strong> under the <strong>Library</strong> section of the main CMS menu.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click the <strong>Add Media</strong> button.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select <strong>Add files</strong> and select the Video file to upload.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use the scroll bar to select a frame to use as the Video thumbnail, to make it easier to identify in Media Library lists.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Provide a new <strong>Name</strong> or leave this field blank to keep the original file name.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click <strong>Start upload</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once uploaded click <strong>Done</strong>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Select Media</h3>
<ul>
<li>From the <strong>Media</strong> grid use the filters to make it easier to find the uploaded video file if required.</li>
<li>Use the row menu and select <strong>Schedule</strong>:</li>
</ul>
<p>The <strong>Select Media</strong> form will open to provide further configuration options for the Video:</p>
<p><strong>Duration in loop</strong> determines how long the video should play each time it appears in a <strong>Schedule Loop</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Set a lower duration to cut the original file short or set a higher duration and the video will “loop” back to the beginning to satisfy a longer set duration.</li>
<li>Select a a specific <strong>Resolution</strong> to use.</li>
<li>Set a <strong>colour</strong> to fill any gaps in the background if the media file will not fill the screen.</li>
<li>
<strong>Save</strong> to close the <strong>Select Media</strong> form and continue with scheduling.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Schedule Event</h3>
<p>Complete the fields in the <strong>Schedule Event</strong> form:</p>
<ul>
<li>Give the event a <strong>Name</strong> for easier identification in the CMS.</li>
<li>Select which <strong>Displays</strong> this Video will be shown on.</li>
<li>From <strong>Dayparting</strong>, select <strong>Always</strong> to show the Video constantly or select <strong>Custom</strong> to set specific start and end dates/times.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Save.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The CMS will now update a Schedule change and your Video will be shown on Displays for the timings set in the schedule.</p>

<p><em><strong>What are Schedule Loops?</strong></em></p>
<p>A Schedule Loop is how media content will play when in schedules with other media content. For example, if you have scheduled 2 media items each with a 10 second duration to be shown at the same time for 1 hour, both items will play for their 10 second durations in fair rotation for the scheduled time.</p>
<p><em><strong>Which file format is recommended for Videos?</strong></em></p>
<p>We recommend H264 MP4 file format.</p>

<p>Page information within the CMS is presented as tabular data in a grid format. <strong>Grids</strong> have a number of features that when combined create a flexible tool for Users making it easier to visualize and understand presented information.</p>
<p>Multiple filter fields can be used to restrict criteria for returned results.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Use the checkbox to apply advanced filtering options for Names using Regex and provide AND/OR criteria using comma separated terms.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The <strong>Advanced</strong> tab provides access to further filtering options for pages.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Results are populated into columns, which can be sorted by clicking on the column header or by using the Shift key to sort multiple columns that contain up/down arrows.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hold shift and click on the column headings to sort in the order selected.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <strong>Column Visibility</strong> button is used to select/de-select which columns are needed in the data table, making it an extremely useful tool for Users to customise which columns should be visible for each grid.</p>
<p>If the number of columns selected can not fit to your screen size, the information will be hidden as additional rows, indicated by a + icon at the beginning of the row. Clicking on this icon will show the hidden information.</p>
<p>At the bottom of selected grids, a <strong>With Selected</strong> option is available for users to multi-select rows in order to easily perform bulk actions, such as Deleting, Sharing and moving items to Folders.</p>
<p>Use the row menu to access a set of actions for a selected item. Selected row menu actions across grids have an auto submit capability. Once ticked the action will be automatically submitted without any further confirmation requirements when next selected.</p>
