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

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.

Subject: [Conquery] new quick plugins
Message-ID: <200411122243.QAA03271@isua1.iastate.edu>
Hope I'm not out-of-line by emailing the list right away. 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. :)
