From jnareb at wp.pl Thu Nov 11 20:57:13 2004 From: jnareb at wp.pl (Jakub Narebski) Date: Fri Nov 12 04:04:14 2004 Subject: [Conquery] [BUG] ConQuery 1.2.0.20040909 does not work with some other extensions. Message-ID: <200411112057.13521.jnareb@wp.pl> I've installed ConQuery 1.2.0.20040909 on MozillaPL 1.6 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040122 with MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b and the following extensions installed (in the sequence below): MultiZilla v1.6.4.0b (version 1.6.4.0) Linky (version 2.1.0) Diggler 0.7 (version prototype_a) MozTweaks v1.2.2 (from MozillaPL) Extension Uninstaller (version 0.2.1) and API (version 0.2) Inspect This (version 0.1.0.20030701) all installed globally (in Mozilla chrome folder). Then I've installed ConQuery 1.2.0.20040909 (version 1.2.0.20040909) and some plugins for it: merriam-webster, acronymfinder, rfc and GoogleAdvanced. Everything worked fine until restart of Mozilla. By the way, I've installed also dictionarysearch (version 0.6.3) after ConQuery as root, and only for root, together with installing ConQuery. Then I've lost context menu from "Inspect This" and from MozTweaks. Strangely Linky menu hasn't stopped working. Diggler button has vanished also. All features of Mozilla were working well, as far as I know. I also have no ConQuery submenu. I've only seen it maybe once when using Mozilla as root... I've uninstalled ConQuery using Extension Uninstaller the context menu entries of InspectThis and MozTweaks came back; Diggler button and it's context menu came back also. So that is why it is most probable that it is ConQuery that is at fault. Besides I've used other extensions (at least Multizilla, Linky, Diggler and MozTweaks) together with no problems. I don't know if it is a right address to post bug reports. I'd rather not do it in 'Comments' section on ConQuery Mozdev page. I've found no ConQuery entry in http://bugzilla.mozdev.org Hoping that this bug was addressed already Your Sincerely -- Jakub Narebski, Poland From ar at weltrevolution.org Thu Nov 11 22:04:44 2004 From: ar at weltrevolution.org (Alexander Rechberg) Date: Fri Nov 12 04:04:15 2004 Subject: [Conquery] new searchplugin - leodict Message-ID: <4193D3EC.20203@weltrevolution.org> Hello, I just wrote a tiny searchplugin (well, to be honest i changed an existing one to match the page ;) ) for leodict.org which is an excellent dictionary for german<->english queries. And I would like to wish some features for oncoming versions: like the ability to change order of searchplugins(not strict alphabetically) or the option to directly put your plugins into the contextmenu (not via the query to-option) sincerly, Alexander Rechberg PS: I wanted to send it to mcv@mozdev.org, like i should do, but i got a failure response. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I just subscribed, so if this list requires any kind of confirmation, you might want to cc: any responses to me at least through the weekend since my subscription may not be complete yet. I just found Conquery because the DictionarySearch extension hadn't yet been updated for Moz 1.0, and I really like having that kind of functionality. Conquery was already updated and seems to have more powerful features anyway. So I installed and will use many of the plugins already out there -- I use m-w.com all the time, and will often use acronymfinder and google and occasionally Babelfish, so thanks to whoever already made those. I've thrown together a few quick-n-dirty extensions of my own. I haven't collected icons or set up advanced features yet; it's Friday afternoon and I don't have time to get into that depth yet. You're welcome to offer suggestions -- especially the syntax part; I already know several ways they can be extended, especially the IMDB one. I'm familiar with regexps (and of course html and forms), just not most of the plugin syntax for Conquery. Anyway, the extensions I threw together are in: http://dan.black.org/conquery/ There are extensions for IMDB (the Internet Movie DataBase -- very nice when you see an article on the web on some actor and want to know what else they were in, or who's in a new film) and four package tracking plugins: USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL (formerly Airborne Express). The tracking ones I had put together in a web form long ago, so I already had all the form input requirements and pretty much just copy-and-pasted from my web form and made minor changes. They look like they all work, but I don't have any current tracking numbers to actually try (but the "not found" errors looked correct), so feel free to test them. I haven't put in anything to make sure your numbers fit the criteria; I don't know if I can do that in the plugin with regexps or not. If it's possible, I may try it. Oh, and I found one "bug", though it may already be known. I used and that made Mozilla freeze completely. I figured it out quickly, and even tried escaping it ("tracking \#"), but no luck. Just changed it to "tracking no.", but don't know if that's a big enough bug to document or even fix or not. Anyway, I doubt those plugins are robust enough for the "real world", but they're at least usable for me, and you're welcome to use them, suggest improvements, or make your own variations. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's like magic.
