No Graphics in K-Meleon 1.5.3 (2 replies)

DB in SA — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 09:14:30 +0000

I change over to K-Meleon about 18 months ago, after having problems with Internet Explorer. I was very happy with it until a month ago when all graphics disappear. I couldn't fixed it so I had to change to Mozilla Firefox. I still think K-Meleon is better, if I can just have the graphics back.

How to read URL variable from makro (5 replies)

DannyD — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:43:38 +0000

Hello K-Meleon makro developers,

I have got one question that you can probably answer in a minute, but I am unable to find the solution anywhere in the documentation or this forum.

What I want to do is to call a new URL, based on text that the user has selected on the current page plus the content of one variable that is part of the current page's URL.

(FYI: I need this to substitute a missing link that the vendor of some braindead proprietary application forgot to provide.)

#  K-Meleon Macros (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?id=MacroLanguage)
#
# ---------- extra_link.kmm -------------------------------------------------------
#
# Dependencies        : extra_link.kmm
# Resources           : -  
# Preferences         : -
# Version             : 0.1  2009-12-18   DannyD
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$sBaseUrl = "http://host/otherpage?action=do";
$sUrlVariable = #DONT_KNOT_HOW_TO_ACCESS#;

_ExtraLink{
	$sFullUrl = $sBaseUrl . "&THIS_ID=&" . $sUrlVariable . "&OTHER_ID=" . $SelectedText;
	opentab( $URL );
}

_ExtraLink_BuildMenu{
	# add another option to context menu of selected text
	setmenu( SelectedText, macro, "Go there...", _ExtraLink );
}
		
$OnInit = $OnInit . "_ExtraLink_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules = $macroModules ."extra_link;";

I think the idea is clear: If I open the page "http://host/thispage?action=do&THIS_ID=123&what=ever" and mark the text "456" on that page, then I want the context menu entry to call "http://host/otherpage?action=do&THIS_ID=123&OTHER_ID=456"

But how can I access the contents of variable "THIS_ID" from a makro?

As always, I am certain that the answer is all too simple, but I just cannot find it anywhere.

Cheers
DannyD

Wayback Machine Search ? (5 replies)

slayer — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:53:32 +0000

Sometimes I need to use the Wayback Machine, and the site returns an error "Not Found-wbcgi", this is because the %2F, %3A etc. (you know spaces, special characters) the site doesn't recognize them. It works fine if I do it manually with copy & paste.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

don't change your useragent... (2 replies)

disrupted — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:05:20 +0000

..unless you really have to, best use auto agent switcher

"The choice of browsers will be updated every six months on the basis of several independent sources of market share information."
http://beta.thehindu.com/news/international/article66014.ece

download autoagent switcher from this link:
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/agentswitcherplus.7z
automatically changes the useragent to ff when it detects a site with bad sniffer..many popular sites with known bad sniffers are included and if you encounter a site that doesn't play nicely with kmeleon, simply add it to the blacklist by selected tools>user agent>add website and it will automatically use ff agent with that site.

unofficial variation: K-Meleon-S201 (30 replies)

Fred — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:03:13 +0000

I have uploaded an updated unofficial variation K-Meleon-S201 .

Download at :

[www.filedropper.com]

This may be a temporary download link, as xthost has been disfunctional today.
I will add an xthost download link later.

This is an experimental version, based on Gecko 1.9.1.7pre/20091216, from Seamonkey 2.0.2 pre.
I had to use Gecko from Seamonkey Tinderbox .

My intention is to present an 1.9.1 variation that works in Windows, but also in Linux with wine, where the conditions to work are more difficult for K-Meleon than in Windows.

--Note : This version works only, if you have the files msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll and mfc71u.dll in your system or in your K-Meleon main folder. If you need these dll's, look for them in the Internet. If necessary in Linux, put them into the K-Meleon main folder. The profile will be created inside the K-Meleon folder. If in Linux you want it inside the ".wine" folder, because of user rights problems, rename the file profile.ini to profile.ini-renamed before the first start.
If you have starting problems, try to delete compreg.dat and xpti.dat in the folder components.
I have added these files, because in Vista earlier variations refused to build these files at the first start.

--Opera has been set as user agent, to avoid errors in complex webpages with insufficient browser recognition. In Linux the URL bar is only usable with more recent wine versions. If you are using an older wine version, use the URL button to open an URL prompt. A recent version of wine for Linux is preferable, to minimize possible crashes.

--A javascript button has been included. After changing permissions for javascript, reload the page.

--Many additional Search Engines in the menu bar, opening in a new window.

--A general startpage is already in the bookmarks.

--Keyboard shortcuts:

* Page back : (right)ctrl + left arrow
* Page forward : (right)ctrl + right arrow
* Close Window : (right)ctrl + down arrow
* Go to home : (right)ctrl + up arrow

Regards

Fred

Open new tabs but keep current tab focused (2 replies)

BillyBob — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:22:26 +0000

Hi-

I'm trying to do a google search, then from the google results CTRL-Click and open the link(s) in a new BUT... BUT keep focus on the google tab and NOT on the new tab(s) I've just opened. I see you call it "open in background tab" if I right click and choose hte menu option.

I want to do this from a single click or a CTRL-Click... is this possible?

Thanks in advance and so far a great browser. I like the quick tect searching - it's almost like Links for Linux.

I just did a meta-search & one of the pages was white with the words Bad Request (I think) at the top of the page. Is this anything to worry about?

Oh, I get it it...it's a 400 page. It just looked unfamiliar & I am paranoid about malware! :O

Audio (2 replies)

boilerman — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 04:58:40 +0000

I am in the process of installing software on a newly assembled computer. I am not getting audio on the Playa Jukebox when using K-Meleon browser. Sound was working in Opera. But when I come to set up K-Meleon it is not there. Perhaps I am having another senior moment but I cannot find anything dealing with audio in K-Meleon preferences.

Any help in pointing me to the audio settings of K-Meleon would be appreciated.

Not all editors work for showing source code?? (16 replies)

siria — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:43:19 +0000

Perhaps I'm too confused, but when trying to set Notepad2 in the preferences for the source code editor, it works fine. But when trying to set Scite, it just doesn't open. That is, KM shows the "busy" icon for a couple seconds, then normal pointer again, but no editor window opens. Error console shows nothing. But in process explorer that editor appears working.
Notepad++ works, but doesn't seem to highlight any syntax in .tmp files?
BTW, "Browse"doesn't work either, but I can copy/paste the path into the field, so don't care.

Just don't get it. Any tricks??? :s

I searched for this...can't believe it hasn't been discussed, but I cannot install the Flash player plugin, or the Shockwave plugin. It behaves as though it is installing but it never appears in Kmeleon. Does Kmeleon support these plugins?

Firewall says KM wants to act as a server (13 replies)

ndebord — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:00:55 +0000

Had to reinstall my firewall (Outpost) and application rules for K-Meleon 1.5.3.

The firewall is giving me these messages. Am I compromised here?

Application attemtps to listen to a port

localhost:loopback, TCP:1496
computer's name, TCP:1496

Again, the next time I ran KM.

computer's name, TCP:1593
localhost:loopback, TCP:1593

Each time I told the firewall to block (one time only) this/these requests.

Any help, much appreciated.

Open PDF with Google doc viewer? (1 reply)

bdmatrix — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:48:05 +0000

I am using Greasemeleon and used quite a few of the relevant userscripts for this purpose (see here: [userscripts.org] ).

None of them seemed to work.
I am using version 1.5.3, and Greasemeleon seems to work fine for few of other scripts I have; so I suppose it's an issue with the scripts' compatibility with Greasemeleon.

Anyone has a solution?
Thanks a lot.

Assistance re: unwanted page (2 replies)

tlcmd — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 22:57:39 +0000

Help, please. Quite frequently after logging out of my hotmail.com email, I end up getting an unwanted page. The current one is at www.msn.com/?ocid=hmlogout and is blank except for AT&T: Free phones + free shipping in the left upper corner.
These left upper corner messages vary, but this page is a real nuisance. I have my pop-up blocker, block flash, and block advertisement on. What else can I do to block this page.

Thanks,
Dick
