| ==== Information about Tabulum ==== | |
| |
| In the Before Times™ (as I like to call them), we used [[.:kioskwatch|KioskWatch]], which handled web-based kiosks and tracking boards by automating Internet Explorer. However, since IE has been end-of-lifed we had to have a new solution. | |
| |
| After experimenting endlessly with the DevTools protocol, automation with Selenium and interacting with debug configurations of the browser, I ended up writing an application that embeds [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/|Microsoft Edge WebView2]]. | |
| |
| |
| Tabulum was written with [[https://www.lazarus-ide.org|Lazarus 2.2.2]] and compiled with [[https://www.freepascal.org/|Free Pascal 3.2.2]]. The WebView2 components for Lazarus are [[https://www.briskbard.com/index.php?lang=en&pageid=webview|an open source package]] available for Delphi and Lazarus. | |
| |
| |
| ==== Configuration instructions ==== | |
| |
| First, note that Tabulum is compiled for 64-bit Windows //only// and only functions on Windows 10 or newer. | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| ==== Testing instructions ==== | |
| |
| How to test that Tabulum is working properly. Any test credentials may be shared here, too. | |
| |
| |
| ==== Installation summary ==== | |
| |
| Installation of the app requires that MS Edge WebView2 components are installed from Microsoft. | |
| |
| Manual installation is not really necessary; there's a handy package that installs the files. There is the program itself, two .dll files that are the messages and categories for the Windows Event Log entries, and a configuration file that tells Tabulum what to do. | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| ==== Previous versions ==== | |
| |
| This is the first public release of Tabulum. | |
