I am new to revStudio and just discovered revMedia, which appears so much like HyperCard, with which I have had long experience.
I would love to be able to create web pages similar to those I have created for the desktop with HyperCard and I am looking into it now.
One question I haven’t found the answer to regards the overall deployment. Assuming that I have put a revMedia revlet on my site, can someone visit my site that includes a revMedia revlet and interact with it immediately, or will each visitor have to download the revWeb plugin first?
Thanking you in advance for answering,
Joe

Hello Joe,
each visitor have to download the revWeb plugin first to see / use your revlet.

Re: revWeb Plugin
Thank you, RRobert,
Next question:
Can I assume that once a visitor has downloaded the revWeb plugin it will continue to be active in other pages on my site as he travels through the site?
Will it also continue to be active on future visits on future days?
Joe, again thanking you in advance.

Hi Joe,
a PlugIn is available/active until it will be removed/deinstalled.

Hi Joe,
if you have different revlets on different pages then the user has to accept any possible security dialog, once this is done and the user accepted the security settings "allow always" than the user will not be asked again. Each revlet has a unique number and the permissions are stored in the preferences folder ->RunRev->revWebPlayer->Stack Permissions.
Depending on your revlet the security settings Rev chooses when set to automatic are 'conservative'. You know if you want to access the internet (aside from the server the revlet is served from, that is ok without security) or the other options. If you are shure you don't need any of those check manual for permissions and just choose none of the options. This way you avoid the permission dialogue, which can be a bit intimidating.
And as Klaus pointed out once the browser-plugin for displaying revlets is installed it will stay installed and there is no need to download it again.
regards
Bernd
