Doom9 Toolbar Extension for Firefox [v3.1]

[unskinnyboy]

I am not an avid Opera user (and hence little or no motivation) nor am I very familiar with Widget programming. But I had taken a cursory look at the Widget specifications sometime in the past and it didn't seem too difficult to port the code over and modify it. I will look into it if I have time in the future. Not sure when and no promises.

[Sharktooth]

Well... thanks anyway:)
Opera... you love it or you hate it...
but i can assure you, once you get used to it you wont look back... ;)

I really like this tool bar and think the latest 15 posts is a great addition to it. I just wish it was more customizable. I'd like to put the toolbar somewhere else and have a choice of what I'd like on the toolbar. Maybe an option to add the toolbar to the customizable toolbar paletter. That would be cool.

Of course, I'm just thankful that such a toolbar exists since it is far above and beyond anything that I could do!

[boombastic]

I say again many many thanks to the author for this new release!!!
I also wish i was able to move the toolbar where i want and to choose which elements should appears:for example i don't need the basics button...

[unskinnyboy]

I think I know how to customize the toolbar now (plus few other ideas), just need to find some time to sit and code all that. Got backed up because of the Holidays. Will get to it soon.

That is the message I get when I install the Doom9 Toolbar 3.0.

I know the addons.mozilla.org page says that it's compatible with ff1.5-3.0a, but do you have a version compatible w/ ff2?

[unskinnyboy]

That's weird. I am running Firefox v2.0 and v3.0 of the toolbar runs fine here. When it says that it is compatible with v1.5-3.0a, that covers v2.0 too.

Anyone else having compatibility issues with the latest toolbar build and Firefox v2.0? I am guessing not, otherwise I'd have already heard of it from people before.

I installed the Doom9 Toolbar 3.0 after your post and had no problems. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.1 also.

Feature request: Ability to change search options (i.e. search thread titles only) from quick search. Is this possible?

[Inventive Software]

Can you update to account for the forum reorganising too? ;)

[insomniak1981]

Very nice, thank
you very much.

[GamesSmash]

Thanks for the toolbar and your work.

BTW can you make it so there is a link to this thread/your profile,
so it would be easier to make suggestions.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Presenting a toolbar extension for Firefox (hope everyone is using Firefox by now ;)) which should make your navigation around Doom9 easier and also give instant access to your UserCP, Profile etc amongst many other things :-

No, not everybody is using Firefox now ;)

So is there any chance this will ever be made compatible with SeaMonkey 2.0 ???

[WalterK]

When will compatibility for firefox 3 be added?
I know its still in beta but its (firefox that is) working great.
Just missing compatible addons.

Just missing compatible addons.Some of the code has to be rewritten for Firefox 3, since some of the older commands/functions are now deprecated. I was actually halfway through it a few weeks back, but then got sidetracked with other stuff. Hopefully soon.

[deuce2]

Now that the official release of Firefox 3.0 is out the only thing that I'm truly missing is a compatible Doom9 toolbar. :(

[cdanddvdpublisher]

very, very cool

I'm still waiting for SeaMonkey 2.0a compatibility too :o

[unskinnyboy]

Sorry, very busy these days. I'll get to it when I can. :(

[ankurs]

UsB is simply awesome :thanks:

Any chance on seeing a firefox 3.x toolbar soon.

[Ajax_Undone]

Um well he has said that it will get there. I don't know if he can be anymore clear...

[khagaroth]

Download and install the Nightly Tester Tools extension, then install the current verion of Doom9 toolbar, when asked by NTT, click on Force install, it works without any problems.

khagaroth. I did as you suggested. Works like a charm:thanks:

[rtjnyoface]

Yup. FF3 upgraded. Waiting for the toolbar. Would be great to have it again.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Still waiting for SeaMonkey 2.0 support... :o

For anyone who wants it to run on FF3

[unskinnyboy]

Ajax_Undone, Did you just bump up the max version or did you make any other changes?

LoRd_MuldeR & others,
Some months back when I revisited this, I had made it SeaMonkey compatible (still on my hard drive, never released), but during some initial testing, noticed that the search function was b0rked in SeaMonkey 2.0a. Precisely,when you enter a keyword in the search box, and select a forum from the dropdown box next to it, instead of searching the child forums, it was searching the whole forum. Turns out some of the DOM events got deprecated with Gecko 1.9/Firefox 3/SeaMonkey 2.0*. Now I had to rewrite some parts of the code and so I decided to put it off for later when I would have some free time and a clear head to do it (which of course never really came by :o). Now you know why this was delayed.

I hope I'll get some time soon to work on this (at least before I forget how to read my own code). I am not making any empty promises because I don't want to be yelled at if I don't meet them, so let's see. The nightly+force install should work for FF3 for now (except the search funtion, that is).:)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I forced the Doom9 Toolbar Extension to install on SeaMonkey 2.0 and it shows up under "Add-ons Manager" -> "Extensions". However I cannot see the Doom9 Toolbar anywhere...

[unskinnyboy]

That's because the current version isn't SeaMonkey compatible (few changes need to be made to make it work for both SM 1.0/1.1 and 2.0* separately - all this I already did some time back in my still-unfinished version). Wait till I get around to completing and releasing it. If I don't get around to fixing the search soon, at least I'll bundle up whatever I do have and release it. While the search function won't work properly, rest everything should.

I have not made any changes... Don't know how I would...

[unskinnyboy]

It's been more than a month since I submitted a new build, but Mozilla is slow as usual and it's still pending review. Normally I would just wait till they eventually get around to it, but since some folks here have waited a long time already, I thought I'll just give it out without any further delay.

Version 3.1

Changelog v3.0 -> v3.1
----------------------
1) Compatibility with SeaMonkey.
2) Compatibility with Firefox 3.
3) Numerous forum structure changes.

Please note -> There is a minor issue with the search function in this release. Specifically, when attempting to search the child forums, the toolbar searches the whole of the forum. The reason is that some DOM events are deprecated in Gecko 1.9/Firefox 3.*/SeaMonkey 2.0* and to fix it, considerable code needs to be rewritten. I'll work on it when I have some free time (which I have very little of, these days), but meanwhile putting this build out since it's high time I've made this Firefox 3/SeaMonkey compatible and a lot of users are waiting for it. Aside from the search issue I mentioned, everything else should work.


Thank you all for your patience.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Compatibility with SeaMonkey.

Finally :D :thanks:

BTW: Any chance to move the Doom9 bar over the Bookmarks bar?

[deuce2]

Thank you, I installed it from the Mozilla site several weeks ago where they have it as an "experimental" test version. So far so good.

[frogman]

Working great on Firefox 3.0.3

[AlissonMurphy]

Ya man is so great....Thanks for sharing it with us.

[pcjco04]

I made an update of the toolbar for firefox 3.6.

[naiden_99]

Does not work with Firefox 3.6.3 :angry:
