Chapter 5: Getting Involved
eComStation allows the user to get involved on several levels. Users
can adopt programs for WiseMachine, and allow them to be easily
deployed and write new programs or port programs to eComStation.
This chapter will briefly discuss this and hand you the tools to get
started.
Adopting Programs
eComStation allows you to easily install programs by deployment
through WiseMachine. To provide the information to enable
Wisemachine to deploy a program we designed the adoption process.
This process takes you through the steps to gather essential information
about a program to allow WiseMachine to deploy it. Two kinds of
information are gather during the process. First some general
information about the program and second information how to install it.
Usually the following information is required for a succesful adoption of
a program:
A script that can destroy the desktop objects and deregister
any WPS classes used by the program
desktop object
removal script
A script to create the icons for the program and register any
WPS classes it needs (see below for instructions)
