Post the extensions you want compatible with SeaMonkey

Thanks to Multizilla all bookmarks are opened in new tabs in my SM (I need this very much) and bookmarklets are useless.

I'd be willing to include SeaMonkey support in Stylish if offered some info on how to do it.

BenoitRen has a draft tutorial up at http://users.skynet.be/fa258499/hackexttutorial.html
Suggestions on how to improve this tutorial welcome. Discussions on making extensions SM compatible are in #seamonkey (mostly because the people in #extdev either don't seem to care about writing SeaMonkey compatible extensions or are actively hostile).

Any chance of getting Lightning working with SeaMonkey? I have tried installing Sunbird but this now only installs on Windows XP/2000 machines.

The tutorial should get updated tomorrow with the sr+ of Philip Chee. The current version had only the first part reviewed.

I don't think it'll be possible until SeaMonkey's codebase has been moved to toolkit.

Yes. Lightning now depends on toolkit functions so you'll have to wait until SuiteRunner is at least dogfoodable.

vladmir if ctrl click does the opposite (current tab instead of new) maybe you can still use bookmarklets.

I don't use ctrl click. It isn't convenient for me. Thank you. (and as I see ctrl click open new tab in my SM )))

Saving files which connected directly in pages is not a problem. This way or other.

I can not save all swf in pages like this:

Check my list of SM extensions (names are in English)

http://fotoleto.ru/seamonkey/extensions.html

I've copied a lot from your list and may be you'll find a couple not mentioned in your list.

Sorry for the wait, DaComboMan. Initially I saw past your post (MozillaZine seems funky at times, I seem to miss other posts too), and then it took a while.

Bookmark Duplicate Detector doesn't work in SeaMonkey. Philip Chee took a look, and said that he would have to rewrite some parts to make it work in SeaMonkey. Additionally, he questioned the coding practices, and had an urge to rewrite the thing. We port extensions, not rewrite them entirely, so unfortunately, this extension is out.

Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer worked fine after a long struggle with repackaging the extension into a JAR. The Error Console showed some errors, though, so I asked Philip Chee to take a look:

Commented out calls to the toolkit ExtensionManager and/or replaced with some dummy functions.

It seemed to work fine, but then he found out that there was dataloss; the extension did not put back folders. He just found the problem:

OK I think I've found the problem with Foxmarks. The firefox bookmarks datasource doesn't have FolderType and FolderGroup RDF resource types that Suite/Seamonkey has and Foxmarks is choking on these as it doesn't know what to do with these. So folders never get copied/transferred.
[...]
Only the Foxmarks people can fix these problems as it may involve how the data is stored on their servers.

In other news, I've ported Aardvark. All I had to do was provide the usual install hooks.

Also in customizegoogle's browser.xul overlay there is this:

Code: Select all

<menupopup id="menu_ToolsPopup">
   <menuitem id="customizegoogle-options" insertafter="devToolsSeparator" accesskey="&cgtoolsOptions.accesskey;" label="&cgtoolsOptions.title;" oncommand="cg_openprefs();"/>
</menupopup>

For SeaMonkey the menupopup id should be "taskPopup" so here you can do this:

Code: Select all

<menupopup id="taskPopup">
   <menuitem id="customizegoogle-options"
   insertafter="devToolsSeparator"
   accesskey="&cgtoolsOptions.accesskey;"
   label="&cgtoolsOptions.title;"
   oncommand="cg_openprefs();"/>
</menupopup>

But a better way which maintains Firefox compatibility is:

Code: Select all

<menupopup id="menu_ToolsPopup">
   <menuitem id="customizegoogle-options">
</menupopup>

<menupopup id="taskPopup">
   <menuitem id="customizegoogle-options">
</menupopup>

<menuitem id="customizegoogle-options"
   insertafter="devToolsSeparator"
   accesskey="&cgtoolsOptions.accesskey;"
   label="&cgtoolsOptions.title;"
   oncommand="cg_openprefs();"/>

insertafter can't be used like this. You should set it on the individual child menuitems (next to the id) and you should of course pick a reasonable insertafter to work with SeaMonkey.

Does anyone know an extension that displays the progress bar in the tab label?

You don't need an extension for this, you need a theme, but failing that use userChrome.css:

Code: Select all

.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="0"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading0.gif") !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="1"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading1.gif") !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="2"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading2.gif") !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="3"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading3.gif") !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="4"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading4.gif") !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="5"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading5.gif") !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="6"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading6.gif") !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="7"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading7.gif") !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="8"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading8.gif") !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[busy="true"][progress="9"] {
  list-style-image: url("loading9.gif") !important;
}

Then, all you need are some images, e.g.


Note for the anally techincally inclined: the progress values are only 99% accurate i.e. 0 is from 0% to 10.1% and 9 is from 90.91% to 100%.

Something like this then?

Code: Select all

<menupopup id="menu_ToolsPopup">
   <menuitem id="customizegoogle-options"
      insertafter="devToolsSeparator"/>
</menupopup>

<menupopup id="taskPopup">
   <menuitem id="customizegoogle-options"
      insertafter="seamonkeyfoobar"/>
</menupopup>

<menuitem id="customizegoogle-options"
   accesskey="&cgtoolsOptions.accesskey;"
   label="&cgtoolsOptions.title;"
   oncommand="cg_openprefs();"/>

Here are some of the extensions I'd like to have.

Flat Bookmark Editing

http://bluweb.com/us/chouser/proj/mozhack/

Unhide Passwords

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/462/

GameFAQs Toolbar

http://gftoolbar.net.ru/

[BenoitRen]

Even though it's not advertised as being compatible with Mozilla/SeaMonkey, Unhide Passwords installs and works fine.

Hi everyone
