Addon digital_signage no more?

Using Concrete / Help
1

I look for an addon called “digital_signage”. It was an excellent remote infoboard for v.8. We had it for years and it working fine. Now we had to upgrade to v.9 with new PHP and the system shoot an error of missing variable:
$storyboardPane

Thanks a lot for info on these matters

This is an easy one to fix.

Find the block and open the view.php file. SOmewhere near the top just add

$storyboardPane = [];

best thanks for the reply. I found the file and changed according to you.
but now screen is blank, white screen and website is gone. so i reversed and it worked again. but no signage block to change.
i guess it must be something different.
is that block in the older marketplace and has not been made available for version 9 maybe?

Pm me and i can fix it.

I guess we are using the same package (which is not in the marketplace)
Check if you have the eth or the apo “digital_signage” package.
Then put this line in controller
public $storyboardPane;

Interesting that you have the same extension. Yes, we have the eth version and I put that in the controller, but now another error pops up:
missing variable $storyboardPane!!

Thanks for help Coda_zrh and tmdesigns.

Sorry, I’m mistaken, the new error is not:
public $storyboardPane;
That error is gone.

That new error is:
missing variable $timelineCategory;

That looks like you have to update the whole package. I think you should get in touch with the developer. There are various versions, unfortunately not numbered but named instead. Our version was developed for a pharmacy (apo) so it includes the advertising tracks, package was updated in June '23. Look into the Readme.md where you also get info. I don’t know your setup but If you run in problems, you may send me a Private Mail.

Appreciate your input and info. I tried to contact the developer with email given in the readme file. But the email adress doesn’t exist anymore. However the URL of domain is still here. I’ll try the info adress instead.

I finally got in contact with the original developer. He got us a workable new version (2.0) so we can use it with Concrete 9 and PHP 8.

Everthing is up&running - with even more features.

Thanks Coda_ZRH for the info about this package.
