Web Browser
The web browser is currently used in these views:
Depending on the operating system some actions are needed to use it.
Windows
MyTourbook is using the built in web browser, no other actions are needed.
Linux
It is a little bit difficult to use a web browser in MyTourbook but it's possible, more details is documented here.
MyTourbook tries to use the default browser but when this fails, XULrunner is used which requires that it is installed.
MyTourbook is currently based on Eclipse 3.8.2 and needs a specific version of XULrunner. This program can be installed with the following commands (press Enter after each line):
XURL=https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/10.0.2/runtimes/xulrunner-10.0.2.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
cd /opt
sudo sh -c "wget -O- $XURL | tar -xj"
sudo ln -s /opt/xulrunner/xulrunner /usr/bin/xulrunner
sudo ln -s /opt/xulrunner/xpcshell /usr/bin/xpcshell
The file mytourbook.ini already contains the path to the XULrunner
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/opt/xulrunner
