yes I'm afraid. Although Chrome Extensions are just javascript.

I can't get it to work oli.

Don't even know where it installed to, chrome fails

It's installed in the extensions.

tools (wrench icon on the right of address bar) -> tools -> extensions. YOu have an options page there as well.

I've added more pictures for step-by-step instructions.

As soon as you open http://www.overclockers.co.uk/viewcart.php, you'll have a clipboard icon on the address bar. click it and the basket will be copied into the clipboard. Then press ctrl-V to paste the basket into a post.

I think there is a bug when first run. Not a big one, but I'll sort it out.

EDIT : sorted

Great app, should help with all the spec me threads.

Might be worth asking OcUK about using the images though as it will use more of their bandwidth.

I did, maybe the wrong channels. I'll try again, especially since I'm using proprietary OcUK logos.

Most of the work is done on the 'server side', the script is injected on the page. so theoretically, they could implement something similar on their side and have a button on the page to duplicate the feature.

They could even generate the BB code while generating the basket, which would be more robust. If they change their cart format, the app will probably fail.
