Title: The prefrences toolbar is "133t"
Post by: Kintaro on 14 October 2002, 11:32: I love it, my user-agent string reports as:
Mozilla/7.0 (X12; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.0) Gecko/20030530
Just wait till it shows up on people webserver logs.

I have already been to the bob hub m0r check your logs.

Post by: rtgwbmsr on 14 October 2002, 11:53: It is cool, but my webserver logs don't catch the client's system info. I'm using Apache, and the access logs say nada.

But cool nonetheless.

Post by: Calum on 14 October 2002, 18:56: !!! wow!!!! that is excellent! it adds the one thing that opera has that mozilla has always lacked!!!! (a toobar toggle for loading images)

Also, i really like the thing of being able to select what you identify as on the toolbar! saves you having to change browsers to visit some sites!

one in the fucking eye for IE, let's see IE do that you cocksucking IE fanatics!!!!!! (yes, i mean you zombie ;P )

Also, while you're at it, try setting IE to delete cookies at the end of every web browsing session :D

And what makes you think KDE is based on proprietary toolkits? Those toolkits are GPL. At one time QT was not GPL but it has been since September of 2000. That's over two years ago, get with the times...

Post by: Calum on 2 November 2002, 14:30: okay. on windows 2000, i can run phoenix and install prefbar.xpi, however when i try installing it in linux, using mozilla1.1 or phoenix, i get a dialogue telling me 'required file does not exist'. How can i find out what file it wants? what are the requirements for this stupid prefbar, and how can i find out if i have them?

Title: The prefrences toolbar is "133t"
Post by: Calum on 3 November 2002, 01:06: alright. i am doing it correctly, but it is not working. i install prefbar as root, no problem, it works, as root, then i copy the prefbar.rfb or whatever it's called, into the $HOME/.phoenix/default/wioy1twef5r/ directory (that last directory seems to be some randomly named folder which is differently named for every user).

I then change the permissions to that of the relevant user, and run phoenix. No prefbar. Getting irritated, i then try to install the prefbar as the user again, and this time, instead of 'required file not there' or whatever, i get 'read only'. What?

so, then i get pissed off and i copy the whole 'default' directory, to the user's default directory, and to boot, i also copy the other tGpe73tuee3t directory in there as well (if you get me so far), and lo and behold, when i run phoenix as the user, i get a blank window, saying that he default folder does not exist. i also get a dialogue telling me to creat a new profile. Deleting the .phoenix directory does not help, and puts me back at square one. The only solution is to uninstall and reinstall phoenix, which is easy, luckily, but what the bloody hell is going on?

has anybody else installed the prefbar in linux and if so, what do you do, STEP by STEP?
thank you.

Yes, I had no problem installing on Linux. I just followed the Linux instructions on the prefbar web site. I just did a "su -", started mozilla "# mozilla" and clicked on the link to install the prefbar from the prefbar web site, exited back as a normal user and started mozilla and it worked. The funny thing is I didn't have to copy it manually to the users' "~/.mozilla/user/*" directory, that somehow happened magically on its own.

I don't use Pheonix, did it say it was supposed to work with Pheonix? It definitely works with both Mozilla 1.01 and 1.2a, haven't tried it on any other version.

Post by: Calum on 3 November 2002, 04:24: yes, it's supposed to work in phoenix. if you go to tools>preferences>themes and extensions in phoenix, you can click 'get new extensions' which takes you to a xulplanet 'what you can install on phoenix 2.0' page, and it's mouse gestures, tab control and prefbar. I haven't tried to install it in mozilla yet, but i have read over those installation instructions about a dozen times trying to spot the trick!

thanks for replying though void main, knowing it worked for you helps me narrow it down.

Post by: voidmain on 3 November 2002, 05:14: If I get some free time from posting I might download Pheonix and see if I have any trouble installing the prefbar.

Post by: Calum on 6 November 2002, 02:28: well, i am having the same problem with mozilla.
the problem seems to be that the config files aren't in 'default', there's another folder inside default with a seemingly random name, which is different for each user. id this usual or am i missing something?
