I am trying to preload bookmarks whit the chrome=webcnoaddressbar
parameter but I can't figure out how to to it. I have managed to get
back the PersonalToolbar with an entry in the wc.css. My problem is
about making the bookmarks show up inside. I have tried to put the
places.sqlite or the bookmarks.html in a number of places (/etc/
iceweasel/profile seemed logical to me) but it won't work. Am I doing
this wrong ?
Thanks for your help and for this great piece of software

Thanks Albéric. I usually advise clients to just have their
"bookmarks" on the homepage_url and that works. You can also specify
multi hompages and they will open in separate tabs with any luck.
I want to try make sure /etc/webc/iceweasel maps on to
https://github.com/Webconverger/iceweasel-webconverger cleanly. I know
it isn't quite the case atm (esp with the recent 'noclean' commit),
but for pure maintainability it will be.
Furthermore once git upgrades are "switched on" in a future version
your local root changes will get nuked, so please don't put bookmarks
under the toolbar. Please only modify Webconverger using the boot API,
http://webconverger.org/boot/ That way we can get everyone always on
the latest secure version of a pretty decent browser. :)

somewhere on the webconverger iso but the browser won't open file:// URLs.
Is there something to fiddle with in prefs.js or something ?

I am relatively new to this project so I haven't got around the
three-webconverger-extensions-trick yet (if that's indeed what you're
talking about ;). Anyway, I'll let you know what solution I chose in the
end so you can tell me if I'm doing this the right way.

Webconverger doesn't do file:/// homepages. You need to setup a remote
homepage I'm afraid.
Ajaccio sounds good, always wanted to visit Corsica.

That's alright, I got around this with thttpd and homepage=http://localhost

Yeah maybe so, but thttpd is not Apache ;) Plus, I am only serving a static HTML file with a frame. The kiosks will be diskless stations booting off a CDROM, so I guess it mitigates the security threat.
I am not planning on doing any upgrade for that matter. The kiosk will stay as it is for around 4 years or so.
