No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Dear Foyer Team Your Signage plugin is Very robust, Easy to use software. But its essentially needs the following addtions a) Essentially need timer (Analog and Digital clocks) b) Essentially needs RSS feeds intergration c) Essentially fix the page rendering to fit with window, so it can be played with any signage displays with “Play via URL” option. (I am using LG Signage display. The page is not rendering to fit with real page. Its played with zoom in position Kindly fix these items and update. Your plugin is not updated after March 7, 2021

    I’ve been using Foyer as part of my University project research for the past 5 months, and have found it is reliable and very simple to setup. I’ve used a combination of media from images, (small 20~mb) local mp4 files, youtube links and local webpages made with Elementor Free and been very pleased with the results. Only PDFs have had not luck for me, but thats not a huge deal for my use case. I’m happy with the granular level of control for videos where you can hold until it finishes and specify start/stop times. I wish creating the playlist was more streamlined, creating individual slides then adding them individually to a channel takes a while. Other than that, its easily the best Open Source project for Signage out there. Kudos to the authors!

    Hello Foyer has been such a great help to display information to the public. What would make this even better is if we were able to change the time between slides for each slide. Eg: Slide 1: 10 seconds Slide 2: 30 seconds etc etc. But other than that it’s been great and will continue using it!

    this plugin is perfect! Simple in operation and powerful in giving you all the freedom your imagination needs. In return I am sharing my FREE ANDROID APP specially made to run with Foyer as an alternative to Fully Kiosk, which is very good, but I chose to share my free and functional solution. Install for free on as many screens as you want. Click on the link below to download from the Google Play Store: DOWNLOAD APP LIKE KIOSK FREE IN PLAY STORE Note: For now there is only the Portuguese version. Soon I will launch in English ATTENTION: Once installed, to configure the app (and exit the full screen when you open it) click 5 times on the word MENU that appears for a few seconds in the right corner of your android screen. In the configuration screen, just change the URL by the URL of your Floyer screen. This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by valmygomes.
