How do you install this ?

Just click the link to the .xpi menu in Firefox and it'll popup with a Install menu.

Though you might have to add adm.alanwake.net to the allowed domains.

EDIT: You might have to just open the .xpi with Firefox itself. So Open with -> Firefox .. then install it that way.

[Eddy Willson]

Very cool now that I got it working and the bug has been fixed http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/thumbsup.gif

[ADM]

I've submitted it to the Mozilla Update site. So when it comes up you can install easily from there and keep it updated easily enough.

[Ruger]

I get a "Not a valid install package" error when I try to run it from my hard drive, and it just shows a long text file if I try to run it from the web. Using Firefox 1.0.7.

Hmm that's weird. Try removing the extension and reinstalling it again.

I'm on 1.5 and it works fine but I did try it first on 1.0.7 and it worked.

[Ruger]

I can't remove it and reinstall it because it gives that error instead of installing it. I did try deleting it from my hard drive and downloading it again, but it still gives the same error when I try to install it. A shame really, as this looked like a pretty cool extension.

[ADM]

Hmm that's weird. Can you try dragging it to the Firefox window? See if it opens that way?

If not you could wait until it gets on the Mozilla Updates site and see if it works that way.

[Ruger]

Still that damn error. Guess I'll have to wait for it to get on the Mozilla site.

[ADM]

I've just tested it on Firefox 1.0.6, 1.0.7 and 1.5 beta and they all work fine with it.

No idea why it isn't working on yours like that.

What operating system are you using?

[Kristian Joensen]

I tired getting it from Mozilla Update and it says:

"The extension you requested is either incompatible with the application selected, or the version of it is no longer available on Mozilla Update."

I am using Firefox 1.0.7 on Windows XP computer.

It's not up on there yet, it's still saying Pending approval on there. Where did you see it?

EDIT: Ahh I see it comes up in the search over there. Anyway yeah it's not approved yet which is why it says that message.

[Kristian Joensen]

Ok, then it is understandable

I've provided the .xpi file in the first post.

Follow these instructions:

- Save the .xpi file to your desktop.
- Once it's download drag it to your firefox window.
- This should bring up a install window, just click install.
- Restart Firefox and the menu will appear at the top.

[SyntaxN]

I clicked open->thefile.xpi->install
Then I restarted firefox and it was there http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
My version is 1.0.7 german btw...

Yeah same as me, no idea why it doesn't work on yours. Guess you just have to wait and see if it works when it's up on Mozilla Update.

[Joe Siegler]

Is this actually hardcoded, or are you picking up the structure from the software itself?

Reason I ask is if I make any future changes, will it blow this thing up?

[avatar_58]

Can you maybe add a "Login" link? I think it would be very useful.

It's hardcoded. But I'll update it when any changes are made.

Yeah I can do that in the next revision. If theres anything else you guys want then let me know.

[Roger]

Teh awsum.

[Ruger]

So did this ever get approved on the Mozilla Updates site? I still get that, "The extension you requested is either incompatible with the application selected, or the version of it is no longer available on Mozilla Update." page when I try to get it from there.

[ADM]

Yeah it still says Pending Approval.. no idea why it's taking so long. Surely if it got rejected it'd say that already.

[Kristian Joensen]

I updated my version through Mozilla Updates.

uh what?

[Kristian Joensen]

Yes to version 1.2

[Micki!]

Just downloaded it... And now i have the file...
However, i don't get what you mean by opening it 'with' firefox... I don't see how this is possible..!
Do i have to put it into a certain directory, or do i have to open it somehow..?

[Kristian Joensen]

Drag it on to to a new window in Firefox.

Um... it's still only 1.0. I haven't released any changes at all.

[Kristian Joensen]

Well I asked it to update my extensions and it prompted me to install version 1.2 of this software. Then in installed an extension called "Tech Support Guy Forums Menu" which is just like your extension only for another forum. It has got a 3D Realms logo even, I think it is pretty strange.

[ADM]

Hmm that is weird. The mod is based off that mod but theres no real code that can cause that problem.

Try uninstalling then reinstalling it again using the url in the first post.. then try updating and see if it does it again.

[Kristian Joensen]

Why would I want to that, both of them work just fine for me.

Cool extension, ADM.

OT:

BTW what utils are you using there for your windows theme, looks pretty good? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ADM]

No utitilies at all.. the skinning for WinXP is done in a file called UXTheme.dll and theres a program that can crack that file so it can support third-party skins.. which I did that.

I posted a 5 star rating cause I love this extension. You're at the top of the "Top Rated" extensions list. Woot!

Oh and I'll make a version v1.1 of it soon, I'm only going to be updating it through mozilla updates from now on.. so make sure you guys install it through there.

v1.1 will have little icons next to each forum name and possibly the RSS feed intergrated into it. If I can figure out how to get it working http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I tried adding the Home Page but it doesn't work due to the way it's managed through the login.php file.

I'm not sure what you mean by skins, but eventually I want to add little images next to each one similar to how I've got the 3DR logo in there.

With skins, i meant transparent background images, which fit to the varios boards... But i just checked how it works, and i found out that this isn't possible... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/redface.gif

Anyways, icons are cool too...
Will there be shortcuts the the mainsite sections too..?!

[ADM]

Shortcuts? What do you mean?

[Micki!]

ADM said:

Will there be 'side-bars' where you can access the other sections outside the forums..? (The mainsite stuff, like the 3DR store, or company info page etc)
This could be a optional feature...

You don't have to do this though... Since i think most people wouldn't make use of it anyways...

Btw, what else are you planning, other than maybe adding icons on each board..?!

[ADM]

Ahh right.. yeah I might extend into the main site as well.

Once I've added the icons there isn't anything else the extension needs really.

No probs :)

[Micki!]

I just got it installed...
It's funny, i didn't notice this thread, and before i did, i wanted to ask you about making an extension for the new software... :D

Anyways, it's great, and a little easyer to navigate now... :)
Thanks for maknig it...

[Ruger]

Regrettably, I still get the same, "not a valid install package" error I did the first time around. Guess I'll have to wait till it gets to the mozilla site, which for some reason works fine.

[ADM]

Damn :( Yeah hopefully they'll put it up there quick enough, good thing is if you keep the first one installed from the mozilla site it'll alert you when it's updated. So at least that's a bonus :)

[ADM]

Ok it's up :) You can search for an update in your extension menu in Firefox for it or just go to the first link the first post and get it :)

[Ruger]

Back in business!

Thanks ADM.

[ADM]

No probs :)

[ADM]

Ok new version by ShadeEX is up:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1393/

:)

[Micki!]

Nice..! automatic update told me it was ready for download... :D

[Hudson]

This looks cool, but i'm already used to the link in my bookmarks-toolbar

[ShadeEX]

Gave a comment about the plugin on the extension page.. (However i couldn't see it after i typed submit, so i don't know if there was an error or not)

On a side note ill be working on Postwhores version soon..

soon i promise.

[Sayantan]

Wow this is really cool. Great job ADM. :D

[Joe Siegler]

Probably needs an update now given my changes to the structure yesterday.

[Micki!]

Maybe add the new Leafy Isle in it..? :)

[ShadeEX]

Yeah i just noticed the change too..

But im not shure what the best change would be..
Im thinking either renaming the General Message Butten..
Or removing it altogether and make a Leafy Isle Plugin instead..

[Ivan]

I had to install this again...
But it refuses to install... something about "wrong installing type/packaging" or something... it's all Danish by me...

[Micki!]

Bump*

[Kennerado]

It wont install it says something about an invalid file hash.

[Micki!]

So i'm not the only one :o
Anyone care to fix it..?

[ShadeEX]

invalid file hash.. hmm sounds bad..

Only ADM can upload new versions though.. I tried myself but it didn't give me permission..

I think its to prevent people stealing other peoples extensions..

Can i get a picture of the Error message..

Preferrably from both of you, (Micki! and Kennerado), so i can se what the error message looks like in different languages.. I think i know whats wrong but i need a pic too be shure

[ADM]

Hmm not sure without looking too much into it, which I don't have much time to do at the moment. If ShadeEX can fix it then sweet, email it to me and I'll upload the fixed version.

Probably ideal to test out the extension and make sure it's working before I upload it so ShadeEX just send it to Micki! and Kennerado to test it out and if it works for them then send it to me.

Cheers guys.

[ADM]

Quick little addition guys.. a couple of extensions on the Addons site were having the same problem. They said to restart Firefox and try installing it again, supposedly it's a problem that occurs sometimes with the addons.mozilla.org server and is not a problem with the extension itself:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345505

So basically the addons are cached on the server itself so if you continuosly get the problem and you have restarted firefox then wait an hour and try again.

Ahh then its definatly not the extension..

Since I had a sneaking suspision that the files where curropt myself..

Also try not installing the file directly from addons.mozilla.org but instead save the file to disk and drag it into your open firefox window and see if that helps first..

I think i have an uncorrupt file laying around, i can send if this problem persists.. if ADMs and my suggestions dosn't work..

[Kennerado]

I tried again and it didn't work, I restarted Firefox and it still didn't work.

I will try again in an hour but here is the error:

Still no word from Mozilla though, but then again they probably have a ton of reviews to do, so i don't expect replies soon.. But im patient i can wait, If i can wait for Duke i can wait for everything..

EDIT:
If you have a login to addons.mozilla.org

you can check out and review the plugin in the sandbox at this page..

Writing a review may speed up aproval i hope.

Im making a small update to fix some small errors

since:
A) There is still a link to Genneral messages
B) There has been a name change in one of the subforums from "Classic Apogee/3D Realms" to "Other Apogee/3D Realms Games".
C) Prey's Subforums are missing in the plugin

Also I'm wondering if I should include the dopefish forums in the plugin since its hosted here..

EDIT:
I've completed steps A, B & C

But I Still need to know if I should add the dopefish forums to the plugin..

[Joe Siegler]

Also I'm wondering if I should include the dopefish forums in the plugin since its hosted here..

Why would you not? It's the same forum structure here! It's not like it's a seperate forum.

[Joe Siegler]

Also, is this plugin compatible with Firefox 2? Saw this tonight

then I'll mail it to ADM asap..

EDIT: Done

Here is the official changelog:

3D Realms Forums NavMenu Ver. 1.2.1

-Updated version number to 1.2.1
-Added Prey Subforums to the plugin ("Prey Gameplay & Strategy", "Prey Mods & Editing" "Prey Tech Help" and "MultiPrey Meetups").
-Added "Dopefish.com Forum" to the plugin.
-Renamed "Classic Apogee/3D Realms" to "Other Apogee/3D Realms Games"
-Removed "Genneral Messages" from the plugin
-Made shure plugin is future compatible

If anybody wants the new Plugin early then pm me..

[Micki!]

Cool... I've been longing for this :)

[ADM]

Ok addon just got approved so you all should have received the update if you previously had it installed.

[ShadeEX]

Just a little update..

ADM is adding me as author to the official 3DR NavMenu firefox plugin page, so I can upload new updates too..

That should speed things up a bit, when I may need to make updates in the future..

[Micki!]

Could one of you link the page to the update then..?
I don't have it installed on Vista, so there'll be no automatic update for me :o

Nevermind, used original link on first page :)

[ADM]

Yeah the 'original' link is always the current link, that's why the first post is layed out like that so people can always get the latest version.

[Micki!]

May i request an update with Gen Messages in it..? :o

[Joe Siegler]

OK, after looking at this, there's some changes that must be made to the next version:

1) Remove Duke Movie Forum.
2) Add back Gen Msgs.
3) Icon is WAY TOO LARGE. Make it smaller. I mean honestly...

http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/6422/extensionsik5.png

Suggestion:

It'd be nice if you can break down categories like they are here - right now the groups are all lumped together. Prey, then the Prey subcategories...

There's more top level categories than the four listed in the plugin here.

[ShadeEX]

What theme are you using Joe, bacause in the default Firefox 2.0 theme the 3DR icon is not that large..

I'll ubdate it ASAP..

EDIT:

It'd be nice if you can break down categories like they are here - right now the groups are all lumped together. Prey, then the Prey subcategories...

Im working on that right now.. ^^

[Joe Siegler]

I use "Littlefox", because I want everything as small as possible in terms of using screen real estate. It's also the only icon for the plugins I have (about 15 of them) that does that.

[ShadeEX]

Well I'll minimize it and give you a Pre-release, so you can check if its fixed..

I'm still figuring out how break down the catagories more..

How about this see attached pic Joe..

For every forum that has a subforum like Prey, I make it like shown in the pic..

[Joe Siegler]

I like the submenu thing like that. I do think it should properly follow the structure that the forums really have.

The "top level" categories are:

1) 3D Realms Topics
2) General Gaming Topics
3) General Topics
4) Archives

Then follow the structure from there.

[ShadeEX]

Okay I'll doo it like that, I'll send you an example. If you like it I'll upload it officially..

EDIT:
Okay joe see attachment

[Micki!]

I'll just pass this one untill an aknowledgement of a final (currently) version is made...

[ShadeEX]

Well it's going to be the official one if Joe likes what I've done..

however I'm not posting the changlelog until it's offcially released.. Just in case I need to change something, last second..

[ShadeEX]

Official changelog:

-Deleted unused PNG file, this should lower the size of the extension.

-Resized logo PNG, because it was to big. This should also lower the size of the extension.

-Renamed "vBulletin Help & Assistance" to "3DR Forums Help & Assistance".

-Re-added link to General Messages.

-Made changes to link structure, so it better resembles the link structure on the forum.

-Added contributer information to the About Page.

(The new version 1.2.2 is currently pending review)

[ADM]

And it's been approved.

[ShadeEX]

Also I urge anybody who uses it, who hasn't already written a review, to please write a review..

Mozilla gennerally aproves extensions quicker, that have alot of reviews..

Will all be removed since they have been merged with the main Prey forum..

That is all..

EDIT:
The update has been submitted and is pending review..
The update is reviewed and is approved. So you should all be able to update to the latest version now!!

Again I ask people to please review the extention if you like it, If you haven't done so already..

I forgot to remove some of the Max Payne Sub-forums since they have been merged as well.. **** :doh:

[Joe Siegler]

^ That happened awhile back.

[ShadeEX]

Yeah I just noticed it after sending the new version for approval :doh:

So I decided to change the rest and make a quick hotfix release..

Here's the official changelog:

Version 1.2.3

-Removed some Sub-forums that have been merged with main forums those Sub-forums are:
*Prey Gameplay & Strategy
*Prey Tech Help

-Renamed "Max Payne Mods" to "Max Payne Modifications"

-Renamed "Duke Nukem 3D Source Code" to "Duke Nukem 3D Modifications"

The hotfix release is approved and should be ready for download.

[ShadeEX]

Could all people who use this please re-write a review since Mozilla removed all of the reviews..

And with no reviews, Mozilla don't really seem to review the new version I've uploaded

Nice Add-On. Installed it just now =) Thanks!

[ShadeEX]

They seem to have updated the version now finally..

changelog:

Version 1.2.3b

-minor compatability update

This should install on the Firefox 3 Beta, if it for some reason doesn't please let me know and I'll try and fix it..

I'm going to work on 1.2.4 when I have time, that and I'm looking over what I need to add to that version..

[Micki!]

I'd like an updated version of this, for FF3 :o

[Kalki]

I should have bumped this thread myself. Been thinking about doing it since FF3 came out.

[Ruger]

Yeah, definitely needs an update so it will work with FF3. I used this extension constantly and the forum feels crippled without it. :(

[Micki!]

I'm still waiting for an update as well

Stop slacking, and do our bidding..! :tinyted:

[ZaphodB]

Tried it, never reinstalled it, gotten too used to clicking on the webpage:(

[ShadeEX]

I'm working on it right now..

Remember more reviews at the Mozilla page means quicker validation of new versions..

EDIT:
First test done.. Now to add some new links and remove eventual unused ones..

[ShadeEX]

BTW did I mention this update is massive I'm adding a bunch of new navigation links..

Like to the blogs, Forum Rules, Tag Cloud, Xbox Leaderboard etc.

:D

EDIT:

It's up and awaiting review..

In the meantime you can download it from the attachment below..

What else is there to do with it, except keep up with changes I make here?

[ShadeEX]

Well you have a point there Joe..

Translations or Visual Tweeks come to mind..

Though translating would require help..

[ADM]

Well I had hopes of eventually having the news from the front site be shown through the plugin as well through a mini RSS reader inbuilt but never had time to do that.

Tested out the update and it all works fine but I think "Find Blogs" should be "Search Blogs".

I'd like that...

[Joe Siegler]

That's actually kind of cool. Don't know how it would be implemented, though.

Mini RSS reader ... :o Sounds nice

To bad I don't have a clue on how to code that.

Yeah I can change Find Blogs to Search Blogs, they haven't even approved the new version yet..
Consider it done redownload the attachment in post above

[ADM]

I suggest downloading other plugins which offer similar services to the rss reader and looking at how they do it. Then "borrow" code from them ;)

[Kalki]

For Shame, ADM! For Shame!! :p

Btw, thanks ShadeEX. :)

[Ramen4ever]

Finally!!! I've been waiting for a long time for this. Great work. :)

[ShadeEX]

It's live on Mozilla now.. :)

So I removed the attached download, since you can just get it from Mozilla now..

I also removed the older Zip file of version 1.2.2 since it's outdated and not needed..

You can download version 1.2.4 from the 3DR Navmenu addon page on Mozilla found here: (And while your at it you could also write a review ;))

[Ruger]

Got it now. If I may make a suggestion, having the two sections for general gaming (Other Gaming and Max Payne) with their own sub-folders probably isn't necessary, and in fact is sort of irritating, as I have to wait an extra half a second for that third branch to open. Just put them all in line in the second branch like it used to be.

[Kalki]

Btw, I'm the other review.

[peoplessi]

No use in embedding RSS reader to that plugin. It doesn't have to do everything, and most people that user RSS feeds have other plugins for that with more advanced features. All in all, I see that as a wasted effort.

[eddym4814]

I just got it today. Works fine. I gave you a review also. :)
