Webpage

Display an entire webpage embedded inside a Region on Layouts.

Please note: This Widget requires a valid internet connection in order to function, webpages are not cached by the Player.

There is support for scaling and offsetting the target webpage to allow for a particular section of a webpage to be defined to display.

Add Widget

Locate Webpage from the Widget toolbar and click to Add or Grab to drag and drop to a Region.

On adding, configuration options are shown in the properties panel:

  • Provide a Name for ease of identification.
  • Choose to override the default duration if required.

Configuration

Webpage Configuration

  • Provide the URL (including http://) of the webpage.
  • Use the checkbox to render the webpage with a transparent background. (Available from R253 for the Windows Player). Sigme will try its best to do this when checked, however, it cannot be supported on some webpages.

After the page is rendered Sigme will scale to fit within the Region.

  • Tick to Preload the Widget off screen so that it is ready to be shown.

  • Select from the available Options to choose how the webpage should be embedded:

Open Natively

The Player will open the webpage without any alterations and will open and render in the browser as if the URL had been visited on the device outside Sigme. Please note: There is no preview available for this option.

Manual Position

Embed the webpage by specifying dimensions which can be used to force the page to fit within certain pre-set dimensions.

  • Specify the width of the page (leave empty to use the Region width)
  • Specify the height of the page (leave empty to use the Region height)
  • Starting point from the top for the page to start, in pixels
  • Starting point from the left, in pixels
  • Percentage (0-100) to scale this Webpage

Best Fit

  • Specify the width of the page (leave empty to use the Region width)
  • Specify the height of the page (leave empty to use the Region height)

Manual Position and Best Fit options will not work with websites that set the X-Frame-Options header. If you are unable to see the webpage use the Open Natively option when using Windows / Linux or Android. If X-Frame-Options is set then webOS/Tizen will not work in any mode.

If X-Frame-Options is not set then the website should show in any of the Players, using any of the above options.

Use the X-Frame-Options Header Checker Tool to see if the header has been set.

  • Enter a code identifier for a Navigate to Layout Action should the page return an error and not load. See Interactive Actions for further details!
