These are my first steps with the Firefox AddOn SDK. What I'm trying to create is a simple 'settings dialogue'. I thought about a html page containing forms for the values and a submit button. Following the first mozilla tutorials I created a widget:
var widget = require('widget').Widget({
label: 'Settings',
id: 'settings',
//panel: text_entry
contentURL: data.url('images/stgfavicon.ico'),
contentScriptFile: data.url('scripts/submit.js'),
onClick: function() {
tabs.open(data.url('forms/settings.html'));
}
});
But since settings.js is not the contentScriptFile I got no communication between settings.html and settings.js. Is it possible to get this done without some (complex looking) messaging system? And how to save the values best? A JSON file?
Some links/examples/API names would help me a lot. :)
That's because you're trying to attach your script to the widget (which is not an HTML file). You need to attach it to the actual html file after the tab opens.
tabs.open({
url: data.url('forms/settings.html'),
onOpen: function onOpen(tab) {
tab.attach({ contentScriptFile: data.url('scripts/submit.js'); });
}
});
I haven't tested that out so there may be an error.
You should also look at the simple-prefs module if these are settings that aren't going to be adjusted frequently.

I want to have separate config for ckditor.
For example in page temp1.html i want to have 'links' and in page temp2.html i don't want to have links.
Whats the good config for this?
I think configuration in below code is proper place for do this.
//var editor_data = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.getData();
$('textarea#editor').ckeditor(
function () {
/* callback code */
},
//configuration
{
toolbar: 'Basic',
language: 'en',
});
You can use config.removePlugins to control the presence of certain plugins, like link (also config.removeButtons). But please note that since CKEditor 4.1, by doing this you restrict the content of the editor associated with the plugin or button (no link plugin or button = no links in the content).
So if you want to share the same content between different templates which use a different sets of plugins you need to explicitly expand config.extraAllowedContent of some editors:
$('#editor-linkless').ckeditor( function() {}, {
removePlugins: 'link',
extraAllowedContent: 'a[href,name,id,target]'
} );
$('#editor-regular').ckeditor();
JSFiddle.

New to firefox development and trying my best to figure this out.
Say I want to call a function in tap_browser.js that will modify the DOM when the user clicks on the toolbar widget, how would I do this?
This is the code I have so far
require("toolbarwidget").ToolbarWidget({
toolbarID: "nav-bar", // <-- Place widget on Navigation bar
id: "tap-icon",
label: "Tap",
contentURL: data.url("favicon.png"),
contentScriptFile: [data.url("tap_browser.js")]
});
I'm currently using a library to create the toolbar widget here: https://github.com/Rob--W/toolbarwidget-jplib
I don't know too much SDK but I helped someone with something that does. Check this out:
var my_wid = widgets.Widget({
id: "my-widget",
label: "CLIIIICK",
content: "CLICK ME",
width: 100,
onClick: function()
{
require('sdk/window/utils').getMostRecentBrowserWindow().gBrowser.contentDocument.documentElement.innerHTML = 'hi';
}
});
what this does is it shows a panel with 0 width and height, you can put stuff in there, and when it shows it executes the onShow function to change the html of the current document. its not recommended to use innerHTML, addons arent accepted. Im just showing you a quick and dirty copy paste example. One that is different from the sdk doc page "Modifying the Page Hosted by a Tab"
EDIT: I have abandoned the conditional structure and just create the window fresh each time. That works. Still wondering whether refresh() works with urls though.
I have a conditional structure that resembles this one:
What is the proper way to load new content into a kendo window?
If the kendo window already exists, refresh() the window rather than create it anew.
The difference is, I'm using an iframe with url.
The problem: I set a different query string with setOptions before invoking refresh(), but the original url is being requested from the server again.
if (!kwindow) {
kwindow = $("#messagewindow").kendoWindow({
iframe: true,
width: "400px",
height: "600px",
title: "original title",
content: "foo.htm?id=1",
type: "GET"
}).data("kendoWindow");
}else {
kwindow.setOptions({
iframe: true,
type: "GET",
title: aDifferentTitle,
url : "foo.htm?id=2"
});
kwindow.refresh();
}
kwindow.open();
I know the the setOptions method is passing the options to the kendo window because the titlebar of the window correctly shows aDifferentTitle. However, looking at the network traffic monitor, the url requested from the server is foo.htm?id=1 but it should be foo.htm?id=2.
I cannot see what is wrong with my code and would be grateful if someone could point out the error to me.
The answer you were looking for was
kwindow.options.content.url = url;
Then the refresh icon / methods will work on the new url
To refresh from different URL you need to pass this through an option object to the refresh method (you do not need to use setOptions). Here is snippet from the documentation:
var windowObject = $("#window").data("kendoWindow");
windowObject.refresh("/feedbackForm");
windowObject.refresh({
url: "/feedbackForm"
});
I used the following and it seems to work in an MVC project:
window.setOptions({
title: "New Title"
});
window.refresh({
url: "/ControllerName/Action"
});
window.open();
I just started using the FireFox Builder to build a simple addon. I realised that I cannot get direct access to the window object.
What I want to do is to get the window object and pollute it with some classes and functions so I can call them from the page itself.
Below is the current code:
// This is an active module of the ritcoder Add-on
require("widget").Widget({
id: "widgetID1",
label: "My Mozilla Widget",
contentURL: "http://www.mozilla.org/favicon.ico",
onClick: function(evt){
var tabs = require("tabs");
var activeTab = tabs.activeTab;
var notifications = require("notifications");
notifications.notify({
title: "Jabberwocky",
text: "'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves",
data: "did gyre and gimble in the wabe",
onClick: function (data) {
console.log(data);
// console.log(this.data) would produce the same result.
}
});
activeTab.window.a=20; //this fails
context.alert('yesx');
}
});
How do I do this? Inject some code into the active page so that it can be called.
regards,
You need to use tab.attach() to run a content script in the tab's context, and then use unsafeWindow to add properties the page's script can see. (You should also read the introduction to Content Scripts.)
The Addon SDK doesn't provide a direct access (without the content script) to the page from the add-on's code because it tries to be forward compatible with the plans to make web pages run in processes separate from the browser's and the add-on's process.
I want to show notification on my website using Pines Notify jQuery plugin
but i dont know how to use it. Could someone please provide some example code?
This is the only link I have found for documentation:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pines/index.php?title=Pines_Notify
This is pretty simple to find out.
Go to the pines notify website: http://pines.sourceforge.net/pnotify/
Click around on the buttons until you find the kind of effect you want to do yourself.
In either Chrome or Firefox w/Firebug, just right click on the button for the effect you want. You'll see an input tag, and you want the code inside the onclick="":
onclick="$.pnotify({
pnotify_title: 'Regular Notice',
pnotify_text: 'Check me out! I\'m a notice.'
});"
So if you want to call this at the end of your html doc after you've loaded jquery, you just do something like this:
// call your jquery and pines notify plugin scripts first
$.pnotify({
pnotify_title: 'Whatever the Title Is',
pnotify_text: 'This is the text of the notice!'
});
Obviously there are more options, and you can find them by either inspecting the source of the demo page, or by looking at the pines jquery plugin and finding where they define the options.
It looks like the documentation for Pines Notify is rather lacking. My advice is to look through the HTML source of the demo website. All the JavaScript is on that page (with tons of inline event handlers, yuck).
Make sure to include the appropriate files in your HTML. Then, here is some example javascript code.
function gaserror(){
var distance = Number(document.cars.distance.value);
switch( $('#listofcars :selected').text())
{
case 'Volvo':
if (distance>500)
{
$.pnotify({
title: 'Error',
text: 'You have run out of gas!',
addclass: 'custom',
type: 'error',
opacity: 0.8,
nonblock: true,
nonblock_opacity: 0.2,
sticker: false,
stack: false,
mouse_reset: false,
history:false, //prevents the yellow error history tab from appearing after error triggered
before_open: function(pnotify) {
pnotify.css({
"top": ($(window).height() / 2) - (pnotify.height() / 2),
"left": ($(window).width() / 2) - (pnotify.width() / 2)
});
}
});
}
break;}}
