All about Links
These articles will go through an overview of adding links and websites onto your Ridgelogic device.
Creating a Link
Start by going to the Links tab on the side of the device portal.
Click the “New Link” button.
Copy and paste the public URL into the URL field, then press “Enter.”
A preview of your website will appear on the right-hand side, and a green checkmark will appear in the URL field once the link has been verified.
Next, you can use the following two options here for adding your public website:
The URL name and page name will automatically be pulled in, but you can easily rename them.
In the “tags” field, you can set keywords on each instance to find it easily later on.
Once you’ve finished setting up your website options, click on the “Add Link” button to save the link.
Adding a Link to your Channel
First, go to the Channels tab, and select a channel.
While inside the channel builder, click the “Add Content” button.
In the new “Media Picker” window, select the Links tab, and then select the link you’d like to use, then click the “Add” button.
Drag and drop content items to rearrange your channel loop.
Once you are done, click “Publish” to make your changes live.
Using the "Background Audio Zone" to add music
You can use Links for connecting background audio as well.
A hidden zone in Channels called “Background Audio” will play music while displaying content to your screens. This feature supports MP3 file uploads or apps (i.e. YouTube, Vimeo).
Please note due to general autoplay policy restrictions on web browsers that the sound might not play automatically while previewing from your Channels tab. The audio will play correctly on your screens.
To add the background audio to your loop, go to the Channels tab and select a channel.
While inside the channel builder, click the “Background Audio” button under the zone layout on the right-hand side of the screen.
Then, click the “Add Content” button.
In the new “Media Picker” window, select the Links tab, and then select the link you’d like to use, then click the “Add” button.
Drag and drop content items to rearrange your channel loop.
Once you are done, click “Publish” to make your changes live.
