rise-distribution is a Polymer Web Component that works with Rise Vision, the digital signage management application for Web Designers. It controls whether or not a Playlist, or content inside of a Playlist, shows on a Display given a particular Display ID.
At this time Chrome is the only browser that this project and Rise Vision supports.
To begin, you will need to install the following components using Bower:
bower install https://github.com/Rise-Vision/rise-page.git
bower install https://github.com/Rise-Vision/rise-playlist.git
bower install https://github.com/Rise-Vision/rise-playlist-item.git
bower install https://github.com/Rise-Vision/rise-distribution.git
The above repositories, as well as their dependencies, are installed in the bower_components folder.
Next, construct your HTML page. You should include webcomponents-lite.min.js before any code that touches the DOM, and load the web components using HTML imports. For example:
<rise-page id="page" display-id="your-display-id">
<rise-playlist id="playlist">
<rise-playlist-item duration="3">
<!-- Your content here. -->
</rise-playlist-item>
<rise-distribution distribution='[{"id":"your-display-id"}]'>
</rise-distribution>
</rise-playlist>
</rise-page>
Note: All playlist and content elements must be assigned a unique id attribute.
