OcUK FireFox extension

From my limited knowledge of XPath, does that not require an XML output?

Any chance of someone developing an Opera variant please

Can't you just use a bookmark? Come to think of it, couldn't you just use a bookmark in Firefox?

No, it requires XML input. Since OcUK is relatively well-formed XHTML, you should be able to use XPath to extract forum date without any headaches at all.

Even if it did have something to do with XML output, that would be okay - since the menu is just XUL, which is XML based.

I might have a look into that, cheers

Thought I may as well have a play.

Hope you don't mind, but I modified it slightly (to add an extra forum).

Sure no problem! Feel free to distribute it to the rest of the Dons

I don't know how to rebuild the extension, but jar files and XML I can do.

Is the extension still available, seems as though the link does not work anymore, i have also right clicked to save as.

Link still works fine for me. If you're using Firefox 1.5, it might complain a little.

Thanks for that marc, just one thing i cannot get it to work, is it only for FF 1.5?.

nice job, thanks for sharing

WoW, your the man

philip41 · 15 Jan 2006 at 11:33

Is this for FF 1.5? i am running 1.7 and cannot get it to work.

Ok i got it working, i was using the Compact Menu extention, disabled that and it now works fine.

Is there a way it can be made to work with compact menus.?

Deathwish · 16 Jan 2006 at 18:41

The website should be fine? Just checked and all looks well.

I'll have a look into the FF1.5 and Compact Menu issues...well...once i've got rid of this damn cold ;(

Installed this a few days ago and I've been using it regulary now. GJ Thanks!!!

Azagoth · 17 Jan 2006 at 02:13

Very handy indeed! Thanks.

Put out a small update today to reflect the change in name of the Console forum.

Also added small menu for the shop and did some tidying up etc.
FireFox auto-update should find it, if not there's a link on my website:

This deserves a bump, fantastic work mate. I have most of my common OcUK links on my link bar already, but this is perfect for getting to my less commonly used forums quickly. Top marks

Very good mate, you are clever
