I bring you ShireFox v 1.0!Note: this will only work with FireFox.s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?...0BCALUM740Also note: This hosting is temporary. I'd like to get it hosted somewhere else soon, possibly on the site.To install: type the containing folder into your titlebar, then click on ShireFox1.0f.xpi . It will install automatically. You have to restart Firefox after installation before it will take effect.Questions? Comments? Ideas for 1.1?Plans for 1.1:=Integrate Wikipedia and Microwiki as options for "search", instead of just Google and Google Image.=Better graphics for the menu titles="Add New Topic In General Discussion" button="Shireroth Forums" menu "View All Forums" option="Miscellaneous" menu, including links to the following:==The View from Benacia==www.micronations.net==The Micronational Cartography Society==ShireFox thread="Foreign Lands" menu, with links to the forums of other countries Blindness Is A BlessingEdited by: Fax Celestis at: 9/5/05 18:12

We need to make sure that we arent using up all of Shireroth.org's bandwidth There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

A while back I made a plugin for FireFox that used Google to search through the index. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Could you look up cookie-reading methods and then start testing out a thing that could edit the forums menu to show what forums have new posts since the last visit?Also, could you improve the search? It's kind of tedious to click the engine I want for every search. They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...

Foghorn and I have started brainstorming about how to check for new posts...I'll look into the cookie thing.Also: Clicking on "search" instead of on the arrow will automatically search on Google. I could try to make it remember your last selection.Other suggestions? Blindness Is A Blessing

Is there any way you can integrate the MicroWiki search with MicroWiki's search function? For example, right now if you type in "Kaiser Raynor", it will go to (nonexistent) Wikipedia page "Kaiser Raynor), but if you put it in the wiki's search, it will tell you you ought to check out "Kaiser Raynor I" You and your nation should be on MicroWiki, micronationalism's premier source for information. Get over there and write up an article now! It's a quick and easy way to get your name out to the whole micronational world.

Yeah, but that'll require me to do a bit of scripting that I'm not entirely certain how to do yet.I'll see what I can do. Blindness Is A Blessing

Just take the "Go" URL and stick that in instead of going to the page. Also, yeah, remembering your choice is what I was aiming for. Perhaps another small dropdown? They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...

I was thinking on just modifying the search bar's method of choosing how it automatically searches, mostly by using a "last used" variable.But you confused me with this: Quote:Just take the "Go" URL and stick that in instead of going to the page. Blindness Is A Blessing

http://www.shireroth.org/wiki/in...$var&go=GoWhere $var = the search query, translated to url terms. Dunno if you need to personally translate it, try it without first, and if it works, leave it that way. They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...

Any new development on this? As of FireFox 1.5, it doesn't work.

Yeah, it's in Foghorn's hands now, but I'll see if I can get it working with 1.5. Probably just needs a new header or something.
