Drupal as a CMS for Digital Signage is not a joke. Real story.

Have you ever thought that Drupal and its contributed modules provide much more than usual website need? We had thought! That’s why we discovered that usual website created using Drupal also can be used for managing Digital Signage content. There is almost everything needed for that. And we decided to try this exotic project.

This story is about creating a user interface for managing Digital Signage content and using Drupal as a source of content for Digital Signage in production for more than a year.

And in this session I will talk about:

• Reasons for choosing Drupal as a solution for Digital Signage
• Integrations with 3rd party services used while developing this solution.
• How Panels, Panels IPE, and Panelizer were used to manage content
• Problems and solutions we faced during the work.
• Implementation - I will demonstrate how everything comes together.
• Feature ideas and improvements we plan to implement.

After the session attendees will learn how Drupal and its contributed modules could be used for creating an interface for managing Digital Signage. It should be beneficial for technical people as well as for business.
