Web Applet

From AWN Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

A generic web applet.

The following is where notes on this applet are being kept for the moment. Little attempt is being made to nicely organize or format at this time.


[edit] Configuration

There is an default configuration which is stored in /apps/avant-window-navigator/applets/webapplet/. These config values are used unless they are overridden in the instance configuration for the applet.

The applet instance configuration is stored in /apps/avant-window-navigator/applets/UID/. Where uid is the uid value assigned to the applet. Normally, if an instance is newly created the UID will be the larges number stored in /apps/avant-window-navigator/applets/

Example if you have started an instance of the applet and you have determined the UID is 1206230809 then you would specify the URI to use for that applet in /apps/avant-window-navigator/applets/1206230809/URI.

Note that a configuration utility will be provided eventually.

[edit] ToDo

  • Configuration dialog.
  • Easy changing of URL.
  • Option to automatically adjust the size of the dialog of the page... suspect this is difficult.
  • Title of page displayed in awn title.
  • Ability to select from a known list of preconfigured URLs (backend, dimensions, URL etc).
  • An easy way to submit configured URLs for inclusion.
  • gtkmozembed support.
  • Cookie management.
  • new targets (i.e., <a href="..." target="_blank"/>) open new webapplets? (not sure if we can even deal with targets currently)
