New VBF Extension thread

[Cander]

Problem downloading latest from other thread, so uploading it to this thread

Rename to a .xpi extension and open with firefox.

[alkatran]

Well at least it made it to "1".

[Cander]

I think you are getting some kind of caching problem.

What version of FF are you using?

Having you tried uninstalling the extension?

[alkatran]

.9

The first time I did it I uninstalled the old one.

[Cander]

Upgrade to .9.3

.9 had alot of bugs

One small feature request - syntax highlighting (selected) text in the reply window.
Something for if you're feeling adventurous - when 'post reply' is clicked detect [code] tags, and highlight automatically (if set in options?).

Also, in the options screen, loading the current email setting (if it exists) would be nice.

[Cander]

Ill look into that next week. Going to take a break for a few days.

[mendhak]

Will this work in FF 0.8?

[Acidic]

Why have still got 0.8? 1.0 preview thingy is coming out soon, I think it was friday, not tomorrow, but a week tomorrow.

[Acidic]

OK. I installed it and restarted my browser. It doesn't do anything. I can't find any of it's settings anywhere. Please help or I'll

0.9 isn't doing too well. I'll wait for 1.0.

But meanwhile, will it work with 0.8?

Still nothing. You're supposed to get that thingy at the status bar right?

I am using 0.8 at home...and the last one worked...not sure about this one tho'...havn't tested yet...but I guess it will....test it...

[Cander]

Acidic. The toolbar isnt in yet in this version. To use this version, right click in the text box you use to type your messages here. The rest is self explanatory.

[alkatran]

I really don't want another toolbar, three (including the tabs) is more than enough...

Make sure you keep the right click functionality.

[Acidic]

ah, wow. this is really good. about the toolbar, make it an option so you can choose if it is in the toolbar/rightclick/both.

Make so you can add you own smileys to that list, though I would never use that.

Also so that in the tools > extensions window your thing has that puzzle icon. or if you can then the VBF icon would also be nice.

[Cander]

The right click will alwys be available, and the toolbar will be able to be switched on an off

Already planned to do that.

Also so that in the tools > extensions window your thing has that puzzle icon. or if you can then the VBF icon would also be nice.

It actually used to, but I must have broken it at some point. Just never realized it till now.

[Acidic]

Whatelsehaveyougotplannedforit?

sorry, I had to now that it's so easy.

Plans;

1) A toolbar
2) User addable smilies and possibly quick access to snippets of code for those frequently asked VB questions you grow tired of anwering.
3) Possibly a side bar that lists subscribed posts so you can refresh that sidebar wherever you are on the web to see if subscribed threads have been replied to.
4) Gestures to quickly jump to a forum. Like up down gesture will send you to the C++ forum, left right will send you to Chit Chat

And I am open to suggestions always. If you got something you think woukd be helpful, feel free to ask about it.

[Acidic]

1) Nice, but I'd find it annoying when the bar appears and dissapears when I change tabs, so I would use right-click.
2) a) nice, but I'd not use it. maybe
b) very nice idea, but I don't know... I keep them on my HD instead.
3) WOW, lovely idea.
4) Great, though maybe shortcut's instead, Ctrl-Alt-something

[Cander]

4) Great, though maybe shortcut's instead, Ctrl-Alt-something

Could always do both keyboard and mouse gesture. I know different people will like each way.



Toolbar though is the only definate feature at this time.

What about the C++ syntax higlighting thingy...

[Cander]

Ugh. Thats right...you were gone. Its done and in the latest version....

Well will probably take some time to get used to the colors...but I guess I can change them for my self anyway...but this is just great....I can't belive this...it must have taken you soooooo much time....I love you....next round are on me.

[Tec-Nico]

Cander... Could you make a version for FireFox 1.0?

I tried it and it told me it was just for versions 0.8 and 0.9+

Thanks!
