A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

How to add an icon to a program object:

copy the icon (PNG format) to one of the folders of the installed theme, e.g. copy jedit.png to <theme-installation-path\dark-glass-flatyellow\apps ;
open the program object, open the "Icon" tab, choose "Browse..." (the "Edit icon" button should be disabled), wait for the window containing the PNG icons to populate, choose one and drag&drop it in "Current icon" in the program object;
close and open again the program object, open the "Icon" tab; the "Edit icon" button is now enabled; press it;
under "Key", select "Image", then in "Data" edit the path to the PNG icon, press "Repaint" (the chosen icon will be shown), choose OK and close the program object.

How to create a menu for a new class (not type!):

first of all, the new class should be already registered in the WPS; then, open the WPS-Wizard configuration folder, open the "Menu Templates" object and drag&drop (mouse right button) to "Menu configuration" one "Menu folder" template;
drag&drop an object example of the new class to "Class selection - Drop object here", in the settings that will open as you as the "Menu folder" template is dropped;
now, in the new folder in "Menu configuration" you can add menu items specific to the new class.
