LibKiosk sounds about right for making ScreenSavers too. Cheers, Luis. On 17 Sep 2007, at 15:42, Richard Gaskin wrote: Andre Garzia wrote: I am here to announce my first external.

Re: ANN: LibKiosk External (was Re: Kiosk Question - Lock User In)
As for writting a tutorial, I just followed Mark tutorial on the newsletter, the external he builds does much more than libKiosk. I'll Thanks Mark forever for finally making me understand how to build externals. :-( Mark's tutorial doesn't work for me. I've tried several times, the last time copying pasting everything so I could be sure that I had followed his instructions to the letter. I have XCode 2.4.1 - I wonder is there something different in it that stops this working. I only have the 10.4 universal SDK so I have to build for x86 even though I am using a PPC. Anyway, I build the first example and when I try to use the external function in the stack, I just get error in function handler. Any ideas Andre?

Thanks, Andre, I'm going to test it. This might come in very handy for a few educational projects of mine. Oh, and congratulations with your first external!

Thanks Andre, will give it a try for sure, when my schedule cleans up a bit. So now that you are also an external pro, when will you be for hire to write that Multichannel audio external I always dreamed of? g All the best, Malte ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Very nice, and worked flawlessly on my 10.3.9 installation. Any chance of getting the source code? Maybe this command is simple enough for me to understand how externals bind to rev :) have fun Björnke On 17 Sep 2007, at 07:16, Andre Garzia wrote: My Friends, I am here to announce my first external.

Well, try we could put a point and click keyboard on screen, but that will raise user resistance to our goal: get their name and address...email address and hopefully a donation. Would people actually fill in their entire address on a screen keyboard? that will be the question. In that case, how about a shaped lid over the keyboard that obscured all the dangerous buttons. Just let them access the actual letter number keys, space, shift, delete return. It could be locked on so that admin people could take it off to access the whole keyboard if required. That was exactly what we decided to do... but Andre has a surprise for us.. Stay tuned.

Re: ANN: LibKiosk External (was Re: Kiosk Question - Lock User In)
Sarah and BvG, check the home page again, I've added a link to the source code. It needs the ExternalEnvironmentV1 that can be obtained from http://www.runrev.com/newsletter/november/issue13/newsletter5.php and XCode 2.4. The source is way simple, I could even publish it in a email, it's less than a hundred lines. This external could be made more powerful by allowing the user to fine tune the SystemUIMode options but again this is not libSystemUIMode it is libKiosk and Kiosk needs are simple and straight forward, no need to complicate. The source is public domain and for those that really want a license it is if-you-like-it-then-next-time-you-see-me-give-me-a-hug-license-1.0 or something like that. As for writting a tutorial, I just followed Mark tutorial on the newsletter, the external he builds does much more than libKiosk. I'll Thanks Mark forever for finally making me understand how to build externals.
