Screenly Cast

September 07, 2018

Screenly Cast Plugin

A WordPress plugin to enable easy and beautiful casting of pages, posts and image media on Screenly digital signage devices.

The goal with Screenly Cast for WordPress is to turn WordPress into a simple content creation tool for digital signage (and for Screenly in particular).

Contrary to some other WordPress plugins or themes out there, the goal is not to convert WordPress into a full-fledged digital signage CMS. Instead, the plugin is designed for simple content creation that can be used assets in your digital signage CMS.
Also, instead of trying to add support for zones, feeds and all kind of other features, we’ve focused on ensuring a good end-user viewing experience.

FAQ

Installation Instructions

  • Install and activate the plugin
  • Navigate to a blog post or media attachment page and append “?srly” to the URL

When should I use “?srly” and when should I use “&srly” in the URL?

In most cases, you only need to use “?srly”. However, if you already got an existing parameter or variable in your URL string, you need to use “&srly” to chain it. For instance, if you “https://www.mydomain.com/?somevar=1&anothervar=2”, you need to add “&srly”. In most cases, your URL will look like “https://www.mydomain.com/some-page”, in which case you just need to add “?srly”
