Which Application and which version (for both application and extension), also are there any errors in Tools > JavaScript Console (set javascript.options.showInConsole in about:config)?

Firefox 1.5.0.1 and MM 20060319.0.1. As for the errors, I may not have looked in time. I saw no relevant errors.

Live editing would require major changes and might be problematic to implement. I'll look into it at a later time.

I was thinking of a window in front of the menu bar that you would implement the changes in. If the user were to click on the browser window outside the the menubar, that mode would be disabled as MM would no longer have the focus.

Setting some common attributes will be simplified in a future version, but listing all possible attributes wouldn't be possible as any attribute would be valid (but likely hasn't any effect, unless there are any styles targeting it).

The problem I have is knowing the available attributes.

Hello all,

This is my first extension and it looks pretty useful.

I am trying to add a URL right click menu item in Thunderbird to open a link in Opera. (My wife uses Firefox, so that is set as default browser.) It looks like I'd use 'oncommand' but I don't know how I should send it to Opera.

Also, is there a list of attributes and their associated values?

thanks,
max

There is an extension for that already. I think it is called Opera View.

Will,

Thanks for pointing that extension out, but it would not install for Thunderbird.

Hi,

I have made a translation for your good tool in French : MenuManipulator 20060319.0.1 .

You can find it here http://www.chez.com/ktvmenet/menumanipu ... .0.1FR.zip
To download it, uses IE and does a right clic on it to download...
If you have another solution to download it, let me the information :2gunfire:

(thanks)

Can you include it in a next version of MenuManipulator ? :?:

Best Regards ;-)

Too bad. You could try to disable other extensions to see if there is a conflict.

<a href="http://xulplanet.com/references/elemref/ref_menuitem.html#attrblk">XULPlanet</a> lists some common attributes.

Create a new menuitem within messagePaneContext with following code:

Code: Select all

if(!gContextMenu.onLink) return; var program = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"]. createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile); program.initWithPath("__PATH__"); var process = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/process/util;1']. createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess); process.init(program); process.run(false, [gContextMenu.linkURL()], 1);

Replace __PATH__ with the path to opera.exe but replace any \ with \\

Sure, will be included.

dorando,

Thanks for the quick response. It works just like I wanted--Opera gets the link and opens it in a new tab.

I tried dragging the File, Edit and View menus inside the Tools menu, but that doesn't work.

Works for Me, but I've noticed that dragging a collapsed/closed menu can cause problems in some situations (like this one), so maybe you've been hit by that. Otherwise anything in the JavaScript Console can be helpful (set javascript.options.showInConsole to true in about:config).

I may just be incompetent, but I can't make this work. I installed (after uninstalling meneditor) found it in "Tools" went down to "Content area context menu" and added the attribute "hidden" to the "Back" and Forward" buttons, set to "true." They still show up in the context menu. I'm running these

Setting the <code>hidden</code> attribute won't work as the <code>contentAreaContextMenu</code> adds/removes these on demand. If you want to hide an item use the <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips#app_mainmenu">built-in</a> functionality or set <code>style</code> to <code>display:none</code> of the items you want to hide.

Hi dorando,

I have installed your menumanipulator.xpi (20060319) in SeaMonkey (Gecko/20060406), and it is working like a charm. Thank you.

And I am looking forward to the release which will include these already mentioned additions to it:
- having it remember it's previous viewed state: what was collapsed and/or expanded
- an inbuilt feature to Hide or Disable items
- Backup/Restore items to their previous menu placement and capability

dorando, are any of the above planned for the next release?

Thanks again for a very useful extension, and for it installing and working so well with SeaMonkey.

Laurence
