Firefox 3 'Pligg This' extension

[danwalsh]

I've played with an old FF extension that lets you right click on an article it will submit to your pligg install with fields prepulated.

Pligg This! v2

I couldnt always get it to work smoothly and of course it doesnt work on FF3

Anyone know about about a FF3 alternative?

Its the sort of thing that would sell well in the pligg pro shop.

happy to pay if someone is thinking of developing

thanks

Hi danwalsh,

No need to wait for dollar5 as this is a 2min fix, updating the FF plugin to work with v3 is very simple, open the install.rdf within the .xpi package and look for the section below.

                <em:targetApplication>
                        <Description>
                                <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
                                <em:minVersion>1.0</em:minVersion>
                                <em:maxVersion>3.0.*</em:maxVersion>
                        </Description>

The important part of the plugin is <em:maxVersion>3.0.*</em:maxVersion> as this tells FF3 the plugin is compatiable. In your plugin it may say 2.0.* or may not be there at all.

Fixed

I did the same and had already sent the file to Dan

It is also attached for others.

Also in the install.rdf - use <em:maxVersion>3.*</em:maxVersion> against 3.0.* - as there is other new version of FF on the progress with some critical patches. Say even if mozilla team releases 3.5 - the plugins will work fine without any issues. But as a warning donot put future major versions as the plugin logic may be updated with > 4.0 - it was stated in the manifest.

Oops missed the files for others.
Rename kwoff.zip to kwoff.xpi

it works just fine, but for some reason once I go in and edit my site URL and the part saying Kwoff this! to my sites label and try to install this extension comes out a blank installation and doesn't install. Any leade what the problem might be?

I am getting exact same problem. I tried to use different em:id thinking it could be duplication problem but still no luck.

Did you manage to fix it?
