Display Hukamnama
There is a beta hukamnama display available for use in gurdwaras. This display is designed to be used with a Raspberry Pi and a monitor. The display can be used to show any hukamnama (including from Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, India).
Features
- The display will show the hukamnama in Gurmukhi, the English translation, and the Punjabi translation/notes.
- If the hukamnama is too long, then the display will automatically scroll after a period of time.
- A progress timer is shown at the top of the screen to show when the hukamnama will scroll.
- A QR code is shown at the bottom of the screen for users to scan and view the hukamnama on their phone.
- The display can be configured with query strings. For example, you can set the date of the hukamnama or remove the QR code.
Use
Find your shabad using the search bar (e.g. https://www.shabados.com/app/search/hmsp/). Once you have found the shabad, click on the shabad to display it. In the address bar, you will see a URL that ends with an ID. Note down the different IDs that you want to display on the hukamnama. You can then use the following URL to display the hukamnama:
https://www.shabados.com/hukamnama/{ids}
For example if you want to show the shabad with ID G05, then you would use the following URL:
https://www.shabados.com/hukamnama/G05
If you wanted to show multiple shabads with IDs G05 ,J0N, 1BS, then you would use the following URL:
https://www.shabados.com/hukamnama/G05,J0N,1BS
https://www.shabados.com/hukamnama/G05,J0N,1BS
Click the example URL to open the hukamnama display in a new tab. You can then use the browser's full screen mode to display the hukamnama on a monitor.
Advanced
It is possible to customize the display by adding a ? followed by a query string. Use an & to separate query strings. The following options are available:
date: The date of the hukamnama in any string format. For example,date=2021-01-01.qr: The QR code is shown by default. Disable it by using 0 for false. For example,qr=0. Otherwise, the QR code is shown.
For example, if you wanted to show the hukamnama for the date 2021-01-01 with the shabad IDs G05 ,J0N, 1BS, then you would use the following URL:
https://www.shabados.com/hukamnama/G05,J0N,1BS?date=2021-01-01
And if you wanted to remove the QR code, then you would use the following URL:
https://www.shabados.com/hukamnama/G05,J0N,1BS?date=2021-01-01&qr=0
https://www.shabados.com/hukamnama/G05,J0N,1BS?date=2021-01-01&qr=0
Click the example URL to see the hukamnama display with a custom date and the QR code removed.
