MenuManipulator 20140526

[mantra]

is it safe ?

Depends on what you mean, setting that pref to false allows you to install/enable extensions which don't claim support with the current Application version, but the Application will still check and warn about compatibility at various places.

thanks

is there a way to add a shortcut (hotkeys) for the smart folder and united folder?

i would like to switch from smart folder -> united folder and vice versa with a shortcut

thanks

Yes, with keyconfig try to Add a new key containing something like this:

Code: Select all

gFolderTreeView.mode = (gFolderTreeView.mode == "all") ? "smart" : "all"; 

. Use

Code: Select all

alert(gFolderTreeView._modeNames.join("\n")); 

to get the internal names for the available modes.

Just tried this, and it worked great.

Is MenuManipulator compatible with Firefox 4.x? If so, can you release an updated xpi, the way you did with keyconfig? Otherwise, whenever I use FF portable, I have to update it all over again.

Hi,

after updating to Firefox 9 (Windows XP SP3) the status menu of the NoScript extension is corrupted. It shows only very few of the entries it should (and does when menumanipulator is deactivated). Reinstalling both NoScript and MenuManipulator doesn't help. I cannot see any reason. The other menus seem to be o.k.
What might cause this trouble?
Regards

[dorando]

Since the NoScript menu is dynamic, anything moved in or out of it might break it. Note that "If an extension (or an app update) adds/removes <menuseparator>s or <menu><menupopup> constructs without an id, some actions might be applied to the wrong items" which might be what happened here.

You might want to try Reset > Selected Item (from the context menu) on the affected menu, to remove everything moved into that menu.

For finding those moved out try the following as oncommand for a new menu item for the MenuManipulator window

Code: Select all

menuView.getRowProperties = function(row,props){ if(gData[row].path) { props.AppendElement(gAtomService.getAtom("selected")); } }
menuView.getCellProperties = function(row,column,props){ if(gData[row].path) props.AppendElement(gAtomService.getAtom("selected")); }
menuView.treebox.invalidate(); 

which should highlight modified items.

dorando, Thank you for your fantastic extension.

For example I created a menu item Stop all tabs following paragraph Stop.


But when you select text, I have this:



It is possible to do so would be in the selected text, or the cursor is over a link, picture etc, menu item Stop all tabs are not displayed.
Thank you.

Try adding

Code: Select all

document.getElementById("__ID__").hidden =
gContextMenu.isContentSelected ||
gContextMenu.onLink ||
gContextMenu.onImage ||
gContextMenu.onCanvas ||
gContextMenu.onVideo ||
gContextMenu.onAudio ||
gContextMenu.onTextInput; 

before return gContextMenu.shouldDisplay; in the onpopupshowing attribute of contentAreaContextMenu. (replace __ID__ with the id attribute of the menuitem, you might need to restart Firefox after editing the onpopupshowing attribute).

I just ran into a problem with MenuManipulator. This is in regards to an Adblock Plus accessory extension:


Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... idehelper/


When this extension (in addition to AdBlock Plus, of course) is installed, it installs a menu item:

Tools / Adblock Plus / Select an element to hide


The problem is that this menu item doesn't show up in MenuManipulator at all. I can't change the key binding because the menu item itself isn't showing up at all.

[dorando]

That menuitem is created during popupshowing and removed during popuphidden event, so MenuManipulator can't see or handle it.

If you want to change the shortcut edit the extensions.elemhidehelper.selectelement_key pref through about:config.

Odd. The item is always in the pulldown menus, so I wouldn't have thought its creation was anything special.

Well, thank you very much for looking into this, and for giving me an alternative solution. Excellent support, as always!

Hi, dorando. Thanks for the code.
How do I make a menu item such as display only the selected text, and was hidden on the page itself.

And one more question. As the editor MenuManipulator select and move multiple items?

To only show a menuitem if there is a selection, try

Code: Select all

document.getElementById("__ID__").hidden =
!gContextMenu.isContentSelected; 

And one more question. As the editor MenuManipulator select and move multiple items?

It is currently not possible to move multiple items at once.

Hi thanks for the add-on, it's very good.
I have a small in-house add-on that I've written that only gets pushed out within my firm.
I was wondering if you could enlighten me on how I could incorporate a few of your features into my add-on.
All I want to do is override the "rename" command on the "folderPaneContext" & push that out to all my users.
I noticed that you've added this line to the "prefs.js"

Code: Select all

user_pref("menumanipulator.chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul", "Node(\"id('folderPaneContext-rename')\"); Set('label','TM Rename'); Set('oncommand','alert(\"Hello World!\");'); ");

How could I take this user_pref & incorporate it into my add-on without all the extra functionality of your add-on?

Thanks,
Barry

I love the add-on, but can't quite figure out how to integrate it with my application.

In Thunderbird (13.0.1), I am looking to be able to click on the From email (i.e. the sender) and have it open up Firefox, using that email address in a search query.

So for example if the sender is example@example.com, and I click on the From email, it would open Firefox and take it to the following URL:

https://www.example.com/lookup.php?q=ex ... xample.com

Can anyone help me setting up MM to do this please?

All the best,
Josh
