Kiosk Mode

Permalink
Can I activate Kiosk Mode (without any browser elements like tabs, adressbar etc.) from within Concrete5? Either programmatically or with a button?
I know Chrome has a --Kiosk Flag, but I don't know how to access it. It should work on all browsers.

Anybody tried that?

Browsers should have a full screen API.

Its a JavaScript API. You can't enforce it - it will ask users for permission and users will always be able to exit from it.

To implement, you will need to add some JavaScript.

Thank you John,
It's working, but only on single pages. When another page is clicked, it switches back and fullscreen needs to toggled again. I tried "onLoad" without success. Cannot find any information if that's possible, - or, maybe that's by nature?

That behaviour is to prevent disreputable sites from hijacking your browser.
The only way round it is to stay in page and AJAX the content. It may also work if you run the entire site inside an iFrame.

John, as always, thanks for your brilliant hint for the iframe. I guess I have to rethink my concept. The Site should work as a website including the possibility to present the contents to a large audience via beamer.

iframe runs smoothly with fullscreen in safari & chrome.
Firefox exits when navigating pages inside the iframe.
x-frame override options in config/concrete.php properly set.
Any ideas?
