This Wordpress theme is based very largely on Nate Jones' Digital Signage theme, but adds category-aware displays, to allow the same theme to be used at multiple colleges, each with their own identities.
##How to set up digital signs
-
Set your Wordpress blog to use this theme.
-
In Wordpress create one of the following categories, according to your college:
'csm', 'lcc', 'lcf', 'chelsea', 'wimbledon', 'camberwell'
-
Make some posts. Set each post to have the category from step 2.
-
(Optional) Use the
Digital Signage Panel Options
box for that post to set the post features. -
To add an image to a post, use the
Featured Image
option. -
Create an empty page, with an appropriate title, e.g. 'CSM'
-
When editing that page, in the
Digital Signage Display Settings
box, select the category you created in step 2. (Only those categories with existing posts will be displayed as options.) -
To display the posts as signs, visit the page you created in step 6.
##Additional notes
The display pages are designed to include the ox-calendar widget on the right part of the page.
Important: you must set private $fileReadTimeOut = 10;
in class.iCalReader.php to make ox-calendar work. The default value of 1 is too low when behind a web proxy.
Expiry dates can be set on posts using ox-post-scheduler plugin.
The display page refreshes every hour, so any expired posts will be removed. See the readme for more info. about widgets.
The rest of this readme is from Nate Jones original documentation.

##Adaptive Images We're using Matt Wilcox's Adaptive Images for low-bandwidth images.
You'll need to edit the .htaccess in your Wordpress root directory (A sample .htaccess is in the AdaptiveImages_STUFF-TO-MOVE folder) You'll also need to move adaptive-images.php (in the AdaptiveImages_STUFF-TO-MOVE folder) to your Wordpress root directory
##Widgets So, I like four widgets in the footer, but feel free to change up functions.php & $('.row article.widget').last().removeClass().addClass(); in app.js if you want.
###Weather Drag a text widget into the Footer. Paste in the following div:
<div id="weather" class="twelve columns"></div>
Set the weather location and other variables in weather.php. The javascript timer for the weather widget is in footer.php to allow it to find the correct path to weather.php.
###Clock Drag a text widget into the Footer. Paste in the following div:
<div class="clock">
<ul>
<li id="hours"> </li>
<li id="point">:</li>
<li id="min"> </li>
<li id="point">:</li>
<li id="sec"> </li>
</ul>
<div id="Date"></div>
</div>
###Twitter Not currently working due to change in Twitter's API.
