I have created a website using Joomla 2.5. When I open the website on mobile, I see option at the bottom as Switch to desktop version. How can I hide this notification?
I don't want to use this option as I don't want user to switch to Desktop version on mobile.
This is link
Sure, are you sing a template? It can be done via changing the PHP or via CSS. Usually in the template folder you would find a mobile.php or something like this. There in the bottom you should find this feature just comment it. Let me know what framework you using to specify a little more.
CSS Solution:
#m-desktop {display:none;}
Lots of users on tablets prefer desktop to mobile so I would think twice. Still to find the file find the language key in the template language file then g r e p for it. Then comment it out.

I am trying to make a website similar to this and I'd like to know how this website was made. The website is also run on desktop and has a mobile app too so there's no HTML or anything in the back end.
Any ideas?
You can use Wappalyzer to identify the technologies used for this Website.
https://www.wappalyzer.com/
Result for https://realtimeboard.com/signup/
as mentioned you can use https://www.wappalyzer.com/ or http://builtwith.com to know the technologies used, further more you can view the webpage source or use the inspect element tool to have a better idea of what is going on. and ofcourse there is HTML used in that page whether it was automatically generated or manually
I am developing an extension using the Addon-SDK. I want to show a preference page in order to get some users' configuration.
simple-prefs is too simple to use as its supported data type is so limited.
In a XUL app, I can use the following
<em:optionsType>3</em:optionsType>
<em:optionsURL>chrome://myaddon/content/options.html</em:optionsURL>
to set my preference page.
I found
the XUL migration guide
which says:
This is provided only as a migration aid, and it's still a good idea to port XUL windows to HTML.
How then can I make an HTML preference page ?
Many thanks!
I solved it in the following way:
Use simple-prefs with the preference type set to control. On its click event, open a page using the tab module, then use simple-storage to store data.
That's it!
I'd like to be able to add an option to the download dialog that pops-up in Firefox when starting a file download. Is it possible to do so using the new add-on SDK or do I have to do it the old way?
edit: Obviously, if the new option is selected, I need a way to know it and execute code based on it.
That's something you would use XUL overlays for. I guess that the dialog you are talking about is chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.xul - the download manager. AFAIK doing this isn't possible with the Add-on SDK, it only provides the most common UI integration points. You could create a traditional extension however, it can overlay any dialog.
There is no existing module that will help you that I know of, so you would have to create one, or wait for one to be made by someone else. But the main idea to extending browser UI is simple, and goes like this:
When the addon is loaded, scan for open windows of the type that you wish to extend.
extend the open windows by adding xul elements and javascript to the page.
listen for newly opened windows, and test that they are the type that you are looking for once they open
extend newly opened windows while your addon is active
Clean up after yourself when windows close or when your addon is disabled/uninstalled.
The last step is the most important and never matter with old school extensions which were not restartless.
Some for the built-in modules that you can look at that do this are the widget module, the context menu module, and the hotkeys module, all of which you can find here.
I've made a couple myself which are the toolbar button module, the xulkeys module, the menuitems module, and a few others, all of which you can find here.
Recently I wrote an extension do the same things. A bootstrap extension, not using addon-sdk.
I already submit it on AMO, but wait for review
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-dialog-tweak/
And the source code
https://github.com/muzuiget/download_dialog_tweak
I'd like to create an addon for Firefox that would enable me to search a particular site by selecting text on one site and choosing to search another site by selecting that option in the context menu.
I already have an extension like that in my browser - the Wikipedia Lookup extension. Basically, I want the exact same functionality but which will send the search text to a different site.
I'm completely new to Firefox addons, so can somebody tell me what's involved in this? Or point me at a site with a list of instructions to do a plugin like this? I can see examples on how to make a Hello World kind of plugin but I can't see how to extend that example into what I need. Thanks.
Have you considered opening the Wikipedia extension source and modifying the pointer from wikipedia.com to the other search site? This is assuming you're using Windows Vista or higher. The source code should be located at:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions\something#wikipedia.com\chrome\content
You would then have to modify the source code inside to change the pointer, and the POST variables string to match that of the site you will be using.
I hope this at least points you in the general direction!

During web development work, I need to be able to quickly switch various config settings in Firefox. In particular I need to be able to:
1) Switch off cookies
2) Switch off javascript
3) Switch my user agent (I have the user-agent switcher add-on installed)
and then back again.
Instead of doing this manually, it would be great if i could add a "macro" button to my toolbar that I could simply click to toggle the three settings above.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Btw - Firefox Profiles doesn't really cut it. You can't dynamically switch profiles within a specific Firefox instance, which I need to be able to do.
Btw2 - I got excited when i saw Greasemonkey, Chicken Foot, but it looks like these can only automate browsing/DOM tasks, and not with firefox configuration settings.
Thanks Richard.
Because of your requirements, it'd probably best for you to make a simple add-on yourself. You could even have it add a button that goes back and forth between things.
You can disable cookies by setting the preference "network.cookie.cookieBehavior" to 2, you can turn off JavaScript by setting the preference "javascript.enabled" to false, and you can modify the user agent by changing the preference "general.useragent.extra.firefox".
To do these things, you'll need to use the preference API, which is documented here.
There are other add-ons that I think will get all the functionality you're looking for (albeit, not all in one tool).
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2497
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6527
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59
If you wanted to extend the functionality of any of these Add-ons, XPI files are just .zip files with a different extension. You can rename them and unpack them and find out how they do what they do, extending them, install your own customized version, etc.
The web-developer toolbar will do all the things you requested except switching the user-agent string, which can be accomplished through the UA switcher addon you already use. However it can't be macroed as far as I know, but it can be accomplished with a few mouse click.
Try iMacros.
