3D Realms Forums NavMenu - Firefox extension

ADM · 10-23-2005, 02:00 PM

Description

Basically this lists all forums and some other sections of the 3D Realms Forums in it's own menu at the top of Firefox. This allows you to jump to any forum from anywhere on the web.

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 · 10-23-2005, 03:25 PM

Very cool now that I got it working and the bug has been fixed

ADM · 10-23-2005, 03:48 PM

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 · 10-23-2005, 04:51 PM

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 · 10-24-2005, 03:33 AM

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 · 10-24-2005, 03:49 AM

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 · 10-24-2005, 04:34 AM

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

ADM · 10-24-2005, 07:33 AM

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 · 10-24-2005, 11:18 AM

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 · 10-24-2005, 11:57 AM

Ok, then it is understandable

SyntaxN · 10-24-2005, 12:15 PM

thx, awesome idea

Works without any trouble for me

Kristian Joensen · 10-24-2005, 12:32 PM

How did you install it ?

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 · 10-24-2005, 12:38 PM

I clicked open->thefile.xpi->install
Then I restarted firefox and it was there

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 · 10-24-2005, 09:58 PM

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 · 10-24-2005, 11:33 PM

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 · 10-26-2005, 09:24 PM

Teh awsum.

Ruger · 11-02-2005, 07:47 PM

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 · 11-03-2005, 01:27 AM

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 · 11-03-2005, 11:47 AM

I updated my version through Mozilla Updates.

Kristian Joensen · 11-03-2005, 01:57 PM

Yes to version 1.2

Micki! · 11-03-2005, 02:58 PM

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 · 11-03-2005, 03:23 PM

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 · 11-04-2005, 06:19 AM

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 · 11-04-2005, 06:56 AM

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 · 11-04-2005, 07:21 AM

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

OT:

BTW what utils are you using there for your windows theme, looks pretty good?
