PWB javascript events

[jsand]

Hi,

I recently inherited a PWB setup when I started working here at the library, and I noticed that our public internet station login code does some things with Javascript and PWB. For example, after a patron logs into our system (via a LAMP backend:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.external.PWBHideAddressBar( 'False' )
    window.external.PWBActivity(<?php echo $remains; ?>)
</script>

Are these events documented anywhere? I can't find it in the help files. Thanks in advnace for the help

This functionality is described in the PWBv2.rtf file that is copied into the PWB folder when you install PWB. All the INI settings are described in the PWBv2.rtf document.

The Java code you are seeing is part of the PWB Dynamic External Java Commands that allow a web page to control PWB via Java commands specified in the PWB INI file.
