newbie help
« on: September 05, 2024, 07:17:00 PM »
Hi everyone.
New user here and trying to get to grips with this software, magicinfo lite i guess, I dont want to pay as I have two screens.

Its all installed and running, I can access magic Info server and the web author

Want I want to display on the tv is front page menu with a number of buttons that take me to a slide show of images and then they exit back to the main menu.
I'd like it to look like my website, so far with some basic tests it doesnt work.

I have created a LFD file, on page 1 it has the multi zone template. I've dropped in some text and a image. One page 2 and 3 I've dropped in a few images as a slide. When I download/export this to a zip file and play the LFD on my Samsung QM43B the touch areas dont do anything but if press forward/next on the remote it moved to screen 2 and 3, after a while it goes back to screen 1.

So how do I create a nice interactive app like you see in the shops and in trade shows?

TV: Samsung QM43B

Good morning

To be able to use webauthor you need premium licenses.
then with web author you cannot do interactivity.
this must be done on a hosted web page

if you create interactive applications, whats the point of the software?

can you self host a wordpress site on the tv?

I'm all sorted for a basic project now, had to use MagicInfo Author to make it.    Looks like the web author is not for interactive or multi page projects.
I need to keep the data offline as the sites dont have internet access.

thanks
