[et.splatterladder.com] Search Plugin for Firefox

Well guys, I am posting there to hear if this idea will get some interest around

I have made a Search Plugin for Firefox, where you can look for a nickname or a clan like if you are on http://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=search page.
The link for this plugin is the following: http://www.wolfensteinitalia.com/opensearchplugin:sl/

• Installation

Install it it's very simple:
When you are on Open Search Plugin for "sl", you can install it in two ways:

1. Click on the icon of your search box, available (usually) at top-right of your screen
Then, click on Add "sl.Search". The plugin will be automatically installed.

2. Click on Add "[et.splatterladder.com] Search" to Mozilla Firefox.
You will get a confirm box, click on Add.

To start using it, if you haven't clicked on "Start using it right away", you have to click again on the icon of your search box (marked with a red circle)

You will obtain this:

• Un-Install

To Remove sl.Search plugin, you just have to click on Manage Search Engines..., the latest item of search engine list.
Then, select [et.splatterladder.com] Search and click Remove.

No problem, ofcourse

If this will get enough interest I can make search plugins also for etqw and farcry.
I might try to make an extension, but that's hard to do

I agree. Extensions are really hard to do. But, if you do extension, don't forget to localizable those texts there, so we can translate it for other languages. :)

I would try to build it... if somebody would appreciate more what I did and what I'm doing there.
Since the opposite happens, I believe that I did enough for now.
This topic is there since one week and one day, and still it needs to be uploaded and added on SL page source...
I don't even know if proddi have seen this...

It works if I use the search field of firefox.
but I use google toolbar, and the firefox searchbox is merged with the searchbox of google toolbar, so it doesn't work for me

This searh plugin it's designed for firefox integrated search box

I dont really know if you can add a custom search on google toolbar, if it's possible let me know I'll work on it.

Posted by: NHLfan Aug 7 2007, 06:44 PM

yes, it's possible - Here's the http://www.google.com/ig/directory?synd=toolbar&frontpage=1&hl=en
and here you can http://www.google.com/ig/submit?synd=toolbar&hl=en a button to google - but it's an XML file, not sure if that makes any problems (edit: ok, as far as I can see now, it shouldn't make any problems )

Can't you just copy what I've written there? :p

Posted by: NHLfan Aug 8 2007, 10:56 AM

copy & paste it to a wiki is much more harder than writing a completly new page

I've copied and pasted it anyway

Posted by: AmCorp.it* Aug 18 2007, 12:16 AM

Can you make a wiki also for google extension or you need pics like for Firefox search plugin?
