Sorry, I don't see the problem.

Here is the most basic example in the README file on the FAQ page.

Code: Select all

/* Thunderbird 45 userChrome.js */

/* Change the title in the titlebar */

/* Set the mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar pref to false to show the titlebar */

setTimeout(function() {
  document.title = "A new title for every window";
}, 2000);

If that doesn't work, then I give up...

[delicacy]

No, no changes, & i feel like you haven't tested your code on tb 45 or your code doesn't work as intended.

1) I disabled "hide local folders" add-on, and if i use your code below:

/* Thunderbird 45 userChrome.js */

(function() {

if (location == "chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul") {

/* Remove account name folders in unified folders mode
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3001721
*/

setTimeout(function() {
var hideAccountNameFolders = {
accountNameFolders: [
"invalid@gmail.com",
"Local Folders",
],
hideAccountNameFolders: function() {
for (var i = 0; i < gFolderTreeView._modeNames.length; i++) {
var viewName = gFolderTreeView._modeNames;
if (viewName == "smart") {
var view = gFolderTreeView.getFolderTreeMode(viewName);
view.hideAccountNameFolders_oldFunction = view.generateMap;
view.generateMap = function(ftv) {
var ftvItems = this.hideAccountNameFolders_oldFunction.call(view, ftv);
for (var j = 0; j < ftvItems.length; j++) {
for (var k = 0; k < hideAccountNameFolders.accountNameFolders.length; k++) {
if (ftvItems[j].text == hideAccountNameFolders.accountNameFolders[k]) {
ftvItems.splice(j, 1);
}
}
}
return ftvItems;
};
}
}
},
};
hideAccountNameFolders.hideAccountNameFolders();
gFolderTreeView.toggleMode(gFolderTreeView.mode);
var box = document.getElementById("folderTree").boxObject;
box.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsITreeBoxObject);
box.invalidate();
}, 1000);

}



Then, with that code, local folder visually disappears when i restart tb.

2) Same problem with a clean tb profile.

3) as you told me, you used the code snippet to remove the "Local Folders" & tweaked it for account name folders,
but unfortunately, the code, even tweaked, only affects the local folder.

[morat]

I tested all the code in the thread.

http://tinypic.com/r/2urpbgn/9

It works for me.

userChromeJS 2.0
Thunderbird 45.0
Windows 7 SP1 32-bit

Edit:

I added the "Local Folders" string to the accountNameFolders array because the "Local Folders" folder is an isServer.

isServer is what needs to be taken care of

[delicacy]

Well well morat...

I finally got it to work, since you were about to give up, i emailed the code to another addons contributor
in mozilla & he explained me an information you hadn't given me & i couldn't guess it myself, cause i don't
know the purpose of adding an email to the code & why you wanted me to edit it & how.. a point where i was lost.
& his response that i was missing from you was:

Here you must specify which folders you need to hide:

accountNameFolders: [
"invalid@gmail.com",
"Local Folders",
],


So this is an approach, but could you modify the code so it hides any account name folders by default without having to provide account names to the code ?
(set & forget)

+

make sure those accounts i hide don't come bugging me again by appearing in the trash folder, cause that's what happens actually.. & if i delete many emails

& if possible, make the trash folder unselectable through the mini arrow on its left to avoid the possibility to view the trash submenu folders (useless in unified view)
& to avoid clicks by mistake

[morat]

information you hadn't given me

You said you couldn't get any of the basic examples to work.

nothing works

no changes

I was going to better explain the hide account name folders code after you got the extension working...

could you modify the code so it hides any account name folders by default without having to provide account names

Yes, I could modify the code but I'm not going to. You can add all the account name folders to the accountNameFolders array.

Code: Select all

accountNameFolders: [
  "alpha@gmail.com",
  "beta@gmail.com",
  "gamma@gmail.com",
  "delta@gmail.com",
  "epsilon@gmail.com",
  "Local Folders",
],

Everything you stated before "could you modify" & that is totally inconsistent since i assume my declarations, makes no sense.
because once again, you hadn't explained me what the other coder explained to me about the invalid account & its purpose..

Anyways, your code makes me lose the unified view, sends me to all view when i change accounts in the code, now i can't even see an email that's supposed to be in my inbox,
the message window is empty & near inbox, it reads "1"
i'm not going any further with you either, since adding accounts one by one is not my game nor expectation from a script.

this script needs to be updated by someone else.

good continuation.

I've just read this thread. That's quite some attitude problem you have there, slick.
