Kiosk mode on a WordPress page using a Poster movie

This is more of a programming question for the web, but it does involve embedding a QuickTime movie.
I'm using the current version of WordPress, 2.9.2, and the movie on the site works as expected on my iPod and my computer. My problem is the lack kiosk mode. When I'm not using a poster frame, kiosk mode works fine. For some reason I can't figure out, the poster frame is disabling kiosk mode during playback.
I would rather not make it as easy as possible for end-users to download my movies. Does anyone have a solution, or the correct code combination, to make kiosk mode work on web pages using a poster movie? Thanks.

Scale does not work for the target movie when using a poster movie

Hello,
I have various size video files that I want to scale to a certain display area on a website. I'm using the scale="tofit" attribute. It works fine for the poster movie but when the target movie is loaded it does not scale! Is this a QT bug or by design? Is there a workaround to this or am I doing things wrong? All help is greatly appreciated.

After quite a lot of Googling I found what I was looking for. This solution was quite hard to find. I found it on http://blog.deconcept.com/2005/01/26/web-standards-compliant-javascript-quicktim e-detect-and-embed (I'm using Geoff Stearns's script to embed my movies, it works great!)
Anyway here is a url to the final solution:

AIR application in KIOSK mode

Hi
I would like to develop AIR application that will work in KIOSK mode.
I have to use Native methods, so application will be released as Native Installer (.exe file).
Problem begins with updating application.
Imagine I have 20 kiosk running in low privileged rights /security reasons/.
I would like to update my application, so I have new .exe installation file.
But instalation requires admin right on machine with kiosk mode.
So I can't update it automaticly.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Many thanks.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for a reply but it was not about update mechanism.
I am using http://code.google.com/p/nativeapplicationupdater/ which works like a charm.
But when the downloaded update file runs there is an installer.
The (adobe air) installer requires permissions + OS admin rights + user agree to replace the old version.
[so there are 2 popups I don't want]
Is there any way to make it automaticly / silent way ?
Maybe some coniguration in Windows / Adobe AIR runtime ?

Safari in kiosk mode?

Hi,
Is it possible to turn my machine into kiosk mode with Safari or Firefox?
For now I don't want to use Opera as my website uses Typekit and 3D CSS...
I read mixed reviews about Saft, so wouln't like to throw money just to learn it won't work properly. Could anyone confirm it works?
I'd love to hear from people who successfully turned their Macs into kiosks. Thanks.

iCab has a kiosk mode. I've never used the kiosk mode but I think iCab has had it for10 years or so.

Instructions for use are in the iCab Help.

Click URL to open in IE while another web page has been opened in kiosk mode.

I am using IE8 in Window 7.
I opened a certain web page in kiosk mode (call IE browser with -k option, a full screen without window frame). While this page remained opened, I pressed ‘Window key + D’ to return to desktop. After that I went to Microsoft Outlook, opened
a mail and clicked a URL in the mail. The URL was opened in kiosk mode which was not I expected. I expected to have this URL opened in normal IE browser mode.
I tried the same action, while a web page was opened in kiosk mode and it remained opened, I returned to desktop and opened a URL within a Word document or Excel document. The URL was opened in normal IE browser mode. It appeared that there was
something special with Outlook.
How can I fix this problem? While a web page was opened in kiosk mode and it remains opened, I return to desktop and click a URL anywhere no matter in Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel or other applications, I want to have this URL opened in normal IE browser
mode.
Thank you for your advice!

In getURL you had a method parameter _self, look URLRequest
definition in Flash help to see if it receives a similar parameter.
_self is for link to open in same browser window, _blank is used
for a new window.

Display window task bar on web page opened in kiosk mode.

I am using IE8 in Window 7.
I open a certain web page in kiosk mode (call IE browser with -k option, a full screen without window frame). How can the window task bar be displayed at the bottom of the web page while the web page is in kiosk mode?
Thank you for advice.

Hi,
If you are using kiosk mode for a public access terminal, then you use the default Guest user account and use GPO to limit their access to other applications that are installed at the machine level.
How the web browser opens links from other programs is set in Internet Options.
I don't think your EULA's cover Word or Outlook on public access computers.
Allowing the public to access the windows shell is asking for trouble.... putty and your networks mud.
Firstly you should update the machine with the latest Windows updates and IE11. And download the admx files and use GPEdit applied to the Guest account to lock down the machine for that user account.(including the shell)

How do you disable the notifications that display at the bottom of the page when requesting a page (i.e. "waiting...", "connecting...")? I am trying to run Firefox in a kiosk mode and remove any indication that the content is online.

I have an iFrame setup to display multiple pages using a timer and an array to automatically change the source of an iFrame every "x" seconds. Each time the iFrame source is changed, a small gray notification box appears (for about 1 second or so) at the bottom left part of the screen that seems to indicate a new page is loading. I would like to remove that notification so the page will change seamlessly without indicating that the source for the iFrame has changed.

You can use this extension to hide the pop-up that shows the URL of a link on hover and other data that previously appeared on the Status bar.

My wordpress page displays with elements covering one another only in Firefox. Chrome and IE are fine if IE is switched to compatibility mode

I am working on a Wordpress page, theme developed by a custom developer (not me). When we view the page in Chrome and IE it is fine - although we had to modify compatibility settings in IE to get it to look right. In Firefox, we are having the same problem we had in IE before the fix - the boxes in the body of the page are laying under the sidebar items. The page was laid out as a table to allow elements to align properly.
http://www.whoholdsthecardsnow.com/coaching-2/ is the page we are having problems with. The other pages load fine, so I am assuming that it is the table layout that is causing the problem.
I don't see any way to attach documents so I can't show you what it is doing for me.
Help please!

Adding width:100%; to that image seems to work.
max-width: 100%; doesn't seem to work in Firefox.

Complete newbie wanting to add kiosk mode...

Hi.
I need someone to hold my hand!!!!
I am making a website and I am a composer. I want to disable the ability to drag and drop the audio from my site as well as lose the save/save as dialogues from the quick time menus. I have found that adding kioskmode will do this, but it means writing some code into my site.
I have tried writing code in to place statcode, but can't get it right.
I don't understand what stage you write the code in. Do you write the code, then publish the pages, or publish the pages then edit the code?
I tried to edit the .html pages with text.app, but although i could view source code, it was like looking at someone else's site, in that i couldn't edit the code. It just made a pinging noise if i tried!
So how do i add this kiosk mode - how do i edit the code?
David Tobin

Publish your page(s) using iWeb.
Open TextEdit and then its preferences.
Change to "plain" text and to "ignore HTML".
Open the published .js file for the page (found in the blah_files folder).
This is where you edit code and save your changes.

Problem hotdesking regular session but kiosk mode works fine. Why ?

I have Sun Ray Server 4.2 on RHEL5.
I have the users smart cards configured to use kiosk mode which gives them a Windows desktop via Citrix.
As an admin I have a smart card which is configured to use the regular session which provides the Linux desktop.
Smart cards which are configured to use the kiosk mode, i.e. Citrix, can hotdesk without any problems but any smart cards which are configured to use the regular mode do not work. When you try moving to a new DTU (Sun Ray 2FS client) the connection screen shows it as connected and then a second later it disconnects. It then reconnects a second later and then another second later it disconnects again. This continues for ever. Even if you try re-inserting the smart card in the original DTU the session was started on it does the same connect, disconnect, reconnect, disconnect, etc, etc. All I can then do is to go back to the server and kill the session.
This is a major problem as I want to configure a MultiHead Group and to do this I need to plug the same smart card in to each of the DTU's that will form the group.
Any ideas how I can rectify this would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mark.

The described behavior indicates that the 'Sun Ray Session Lock' login dialog fails to start.
Please check, if you have installed all the [documented prerequisites|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SRSS4dot2/Additional+Software+Requirements] for SRSS, in particular the openmotif22 package (32-bit version!). You can also try 'ldd /opt/SUNWut/lib/loginGUI' to directly check for missing libraries.
If you can't get the loginGUI to work, you can also disable session access protection on hotdesking: check the 'Direct Session Access Allowed' checkbox on the Advanved/Policy page of the Admin GUI or use the -D option with utpolicy. Beware that this reduces session security on hotdesking (for both kiosk and non-kiosk sessions) significantly.

How can I disable the telemetry prompt in kiosk mode from user preference.

We are running firefox in kiosk mode , I am using r_kiosk plugin to disable all the functionality, and update the user pref with following , but still getting the telemetry prompt is showing up.
pref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", false);
pref("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);
pref("toolkit.telemetry.enabled", false);
rpm : firefox-24.4.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64
Do we have any option to increase the frequency / manually initiative the telemetry prompt to verify after updating the user preference.

The about:config page shows toolkit.telemetry.prompted as an Integer pref with value 2 for me.
*toolkit.telemetry.enabled = true
*toolkit.telemetry.prompted = 2
*toolkit.telemetry.rejected = true

IE and "kiosk mode"

I'm trying to deploy my Forms60 application on the Web using Netscape in "kiosk mode" (i.e. disabling the toolbar, address and links).
I need to do same with IE: particularly I need to prevent the user from re-enabling the toolbar und using the "bak" button.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advence.

Hi,
Based on my research,it seems that we cannot display two different pages using IE on two screens at a time.
Maybe we can try to use 3rd party applications.

Kiosk mode of Internet Explorer should be more configurable

Hello
Kiosk mode of Internet Explorer

Hi RafałRatyńskiPF,
Would you please share us the present Internet Explorer version and the Windows system version you are using ?If you are using Windows 8.1 machine ,the situation may be a little different .
" -kioskresettime (returning to the home page after declared time of inactivity)"
I haven`t found a method of this activity.
"-kioskhomebutton (Home button visible while in kiosk mode)"
Do you mean we can configure the Home page ?
We can open with "iexplore -k www.microsoft.com "to configure the home page .
-kiosknavbuttons (Back and Forward navigation buttons visible while in kiosk mode)
We can use the shortcut :
"ALT+LEFT ARROW Back
ALT+RIGHT ARROW Forward"
Here is a link for reference :
