I'd like to run eToys projects through a browser, like Illinois has done with their Library Collections - http://etoysillinois.org/library?tags=CS4K5%20Grade%201
How do they do this. It looks like with the eToys plugin, clicking on the link to the project in my browser will open up eToys software. The Illinois version looks like it's running within the browser, that looks like a better way.
Scratch has this capability with a jar file to include in the website's folder.
Thanks for any help, Randy Latimer
Randy,
The plug-in needs to be installed on the computer. If its Windows or Mac, simply go to downloads page on www.squeakland.org and install Etoys. Unfortunately we do not have a plug-in for Linux.

Okay, thanks, I'll try again. I put a link in to the actual project code? When I do this, the program loads up eToys, then loads in the project. The Illinois version looks like it's running in the browser. In the html file I'm using <a href=" the project file name "> Thanks, Randy

Simplest is to link to Squeakland's project launcher, e.g.:
http://squeakland.org/launcher?http://freudenbergs.de/bert/etoys/OLPC-XO-Display.pr
You need to replace the part after the "?" with the *full* URL to your project.
Alternatively, you could replicate the page generated by the launcher (just look at its source), but you will have to maintain the launcher code yourself then.

What makes you say that? Of course there is a browser plugin for Linux.
We just do not provide full Linux downloads on the Squeakland website, because each Linux distribution already has their own Etoys package ready to install.
(possibly this should be mentioned on the download page)

Thank you all, I'll try this out. I like putting up the image of the file too. Not sure what unzipping a .pr file means...but I'll take a look (I'm used to unzipping .zip files) Randy

Etoys .pr files are actually .zip files. One file of interest inside it is the thumbnail.png file. If you were to write a server app, it could show a project's thumbnail by extracting it from the project.

AAAARGH!!! OLPC is 100% Linux, currently for 2.5 million students. What has to happen to get such a plug-in?

Edward,
I was mistaken, as per Bert there is a Linux plug-in, we need to update the downloads page on squeakland.

This capability would be extremely valuable for the Sugar Labs program for Replacing Textbooks. We need to be able to integrate software into learning materials in order to integrate it into the curriculum. Until study, classroom work and homework can be done using the same software for all students, we cannot convince school boards that one-to-one computing is not only viable, but necessary.
