sidki's config set: 2005-06-09

[sidki3003]

Hi nolan_vode, thanks for the bug report. Testing with Firefox 1.0 official Release. Letsee...

When not in expanded mode, it breaks my All_In_One search button extension.

The Prox Menu icon is only available when page is expanded.

Which URL? I tried a few, e.g. http://forums.mozillazine.org/ . I installed "All-In-One Search button" and it works there, no matter if that page is expanded or collapsed.
Same goes for the Prox menu.

Quote:Can I adapt "MozillaZine: Alternate Display" to JD Alpha? Tried to move it there but would not operate.

Try copying the "PrxToggle" function from ProxFunctions.js to that filter, so that latter looks like:

Code:

...
<!-- PROX-S: Below added by MozillaZine Alternate Display Filter (toggle switch) -->\r\n
<script type="text/javascript">
function PrxToggle(nam, atr, tag, tog) {
...
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:
...

No guaranty tho, as it's not exactly my cup of tea.

Quote:<span style='color:#3333FF'>Prox Menu</span>

Because of it's semi-transparency, The Prox Menu is muddled/obscured by whatever the menu opens over.

The menu opacity is set to 97%, which is what i like. I'll do something about it if others perceive that as muddled/obscured as well. Anyone?
If not, open ProxStyles.css and change all "0.97" and "97" entries to e.g. "0.99" and "99", repectively, or remove those properties altogether.

Quote:At some sites, i.e. this forum, the Prox Menu icon disappears after initially selecting it. Must reload page to revive it.

The Prox menu opens if you hover over the icon, and closes itself till the next reload if you click the icon. This is explained in the Readme, chapter "Unsorted". I'll move that to the config control doc, see below.

Quote:As a personal preference, Would be nice if the dbug option opened in a new window.

People, start getting used to your middle mouse button!
It can be set to open new tabs in Opera, Firefox, and the current IE clones - unless you've set it to do other fancy things from within the OS, but even then you can use advanced tools like PowerPro, which lets you restrict those fancy things to certain windows.

Some links in the Prox menu show a symbol with three dots. Those are JS links. All others - including "dbug" - can be opened in a new window if middle-clicked. This isn't mentioned yet. So the "Prox Menu" chapter would go like:

Quote:Add Proxomitron Menu (default is active)

Activates a menu that appears as an icon lower right on mouse click anyware in
the page, expands on hover, and disables itself if clicked.
The first header displays the window name if there is one, or else "Dynamic".
The second header shows the mode in which the page is rendered. Some items in
the menu vary depending on browser, page, or chosen config settings. Some
links show a symbol with three dots - these are JavaScript links. All other
links can be opened in a new tab/window if middle-clicked, as long as you're
using current versions of Mozilla, Opera, or the IE front-ends
Maxthon/Sleipnir.

Anything missing?

Quote:Any problem moving the JD Prox Menu to your set?

Should work. Didn't try it tho.

Quote:<span style='color:#3333FF'>Flash Blocking</span>

Is flash blocked by default?

Not really. Loading of Flashs is made optional. Unless you enable "Flash & Media Toggle: Show/Play by Default".

Quote:I ask because I'm having a problem at

http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/index.as...&zip=91406

It's glutted with bells & whistles. Unfortunately, you must register to see the page, but maybe if I describe the problem, someone can direct me elsewhere where I can test things out?

Luckily there are a few dummy accounts available.

Quote:When "<object>...: Toggle Flash 4.10.25 (ccw!) [jd sd] (d.2)" is disabled, flash objects are blocked with no way to reverse the effect.

When "<object>...: Toggle Flash 4.10.25 (ccw!) [jd sd] (d.2)" is ensabled, "Flash" opens the selected flash object, by only by itself, in a new window. "Toggle" simply removes the "Toggle - Flash" option from the page & does nothing else.

Either way, I can't get flash objects to reveal on the page.

Whatever the function of "Flash & Media Toggle: Show/Play by Default 4.09.20 (fail) [sd] (o.0)", it has no perceptable effect on this page.

Everything works as expected here: I can toggle the Flash menu and the Flash calendar thingie.
I also see these Flash objects if i disable "<object>...: Toggle Flash".
"Flash & Media Toggle: Show/Play by Default" works, too.

The top/right flashs are ads and get blocked by other filters. The left ad form is incorrectly identified as flash because it contains "flash" in its name. However, i'm inclined to leave that as is, since it doesn't break anything, and messing with the flash filter is a pain in the butt as it requires extensive testing after each change.

Quote:All TV Guide references removed from my Adblock extension list.

"www.tvguide.com" has been place in my Flashblock extension whitelist, & the Flashblock on/off toggle icons that normally replace blocked flash objects do not appear on the page.

I installed "Adblock" and the toggles didn't work anymore. I'm not familiar with that extension and don't plan to look into it either. Same goes for "Flashblock" et al. That's what Proxomitron is for, no?

Anyway, try disabling (Ad|Flash|etc.)block, restart Firefox, and see what's left of those problems.
