Support Request: Sitekiosk Object Model Documentation

Description

Can you email me the Chome browser documentation for the Sitekiosk object model?

I have a website I am using as a start page and it needs to be able to launch applications and access the local filesystem.

Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry. This response will be for the SiteKiosk Classic, even though SiteKiosk Online was selected. You may find it easier to encapsulate a single command of the SiteKiosk Object Model for Chrome Browser usage. Details and examples can be found here: https://devblog.provisio.com/post/2018/03/20/Using-the-Classic-SiteKiosk-Object-Model-in-SiteKiosk-Windows-Chrome-Browser.aspx

You can use this method to call an application on the Applications list in Configuration: https://www.sitekiosk.com/helpconsole/SiteKiosk%20Object%20Model%20Help/en-US/default.htm?externalappinfo_run_mth.htm

Or you can use this method to call the application explicitly: https://www.sitekiosk.com/helpconsole/SiteKiosk%20Object%20Model%20Help/en-US/default.htm?externalapps_run_mth.htm

Don't forget to give your HTML file permissions if it is not located in the SiteKiosk/Html folder in Configuration>>Access/Security.

Please find FAQ documentation for when running applications: https://www.sitekiosk.com/web/CustomerSupportCenter/ArticleDetails.aspx?ArticleID=25533

Note: That while support here is free, coding support cannot be provided here.

Best regards,
Andre.

How do I access the local filesystem?

For example, give a path `c:\path\to\dir` how do I get a list to the dir contents using sk object?

Hello,

You can use this File Manager implementation for your website or Start Screen button: https://devblog.provisio.com/post/2019/07/16/Starting-the-SiteKiosk-File-Manager-from-the-Start-Screen-with-Chrome-Browser-Skin.aspx

When File Manager is activated in Configuration, you can see the icon in the Start Menu on the SiteKiosk Taskbar. Remember to set File Type associations with Windows and adjust the file extensions that are allowed in File Manager following this link: https://www.sitekiosk.com/web/CustomerSupportCenter/ArticleDetails.aspx?ArticleID=598

Local files are accessible by the SiteKiosk browser by the using the File Scheme: file:///<C-drive-path-to-file> . Surfing Area restrictions may apply to some locations.

Best regards.

I don't think you understand.

I have a html start page. I want javascript that can read the path contents.

Something like this pseudocode: 


<script>
dir = getDirectory(path);
for(i = 0; i < dir.files.length; i++)
{
  buildWebComponent(dir.files[i]);
}
</script>

Hello,

Thank you for the update. There are no provided examples of doing this in Chrome Browser and so will require paid customization. You can name your files in manner that is predictable and use the file:/// protocol to load them. Files in the same folder as an HTML file can just be called and will not need path to be declared. If this is not conducive for you, you can send us more information of your request to support-america(at)sitekiosk.com.

Best regards.
