The Kiosk Project
The Kiosk Project is collection of tools and information that can be used to implement a kiosk environment in linux. There are also a couple of side projects that arose from creating the kiosk related tools. Please note that while some of the docs here may seem old but all of this has been tested with the latest Firefox 2.0.x and Fedora Core 7. So if you find something that is incorrect or does not work any longer please let jim know about it. For commercial support see [JTJ Software]
- KioskSetups[1] - Kiosk environment setup
- KioskBrowser[2] - a locked down web browser with a customizable user interface and many features:
- Tested on most vewrsions of mozilla suite from 1.0.0 and up. Tested on most versions of Firefox up to Firefox-2.0.x
- Timed reset - Browser can reset after a specified period of inactivity. Dumps the session history and resets to specified uri.
- Virtual Keyboard is also an extension for Firefox . A popup keyboard for use in touchscreen or pointer only environments. Get the Firefox xpi here: KioskBrowser/VirtualKeyboard
- Lots of predefined user interfaces
- TwmKiosk - A customized window manager that has features that make it perfect for kiosk environments
- MozAppGen - mozilla application stub generater. A complete mozilla application to build out with your code! Does the grunt work of making the directory structure and rdf and other default files needed to make a complete mozilla application. Try it and let me know your results. Jim
- MozAppGen is kinda outdated in that it is for making xul apps for targeting the mozilla suite. It has not been tested against seamonkey. Although I still use it to generate app stubs for firefox apps.
- GameKiosk - A collection of mozilla based games. Card games, Xultris, Xoom, Snake. A complete waste of time!
- MozillaCookbook - Mozilla Application development tips, tricks and recipies.
