WebLinks is a Module that allows you to create easily accessed web links within Premise Browser. The concept is similar to BookMarks, or Favorites, commonly used in web browsers. A WebLink can be an URL to an external web site, web cam or other source of browser-friendly content.
If you have used Rob Brun's WebFrames module, WebLinks is identical except it is self-contained (WebFrames relies on the presence of the ScriptTools module) and uses slightly different terminology.
Installation
Configuration
If you wish to create a few sample WebLinks in the Media/WebLinks folder, navigate to Modules > WebLinks > Macros > Utility > CreateSampleLinks and click Trigger.
Usage
Open Premise Browser and click Media followed by WebLinks. All of your defined WebLinks will be listed. Click a WebLink and the associated web page will be displayed within Premise Browser.
Notes
The default version of Premise Browser is designed to run at 800x600 pixels; there isn't much screen space to display the contents of a WebLink. There's more room if you have converted tp 1024x768 but most web pages will still have to be scrolled horizontally. To mitigate this limitation, use a web-site's mobile version. For example, [URL="http://news.mobile.msn.com"]http://news.mobile.msn.com[/URL] displays the basics and leaves out the 'window-dressing'.
