Is there any way to open a "Groups2" group from a hotlink ..
... in KM154 on XP?

Not so sure about hotlinks, but there is a quick open by typing the group name into the URL bar and pressing ALT + VK_RETURN.

Hotlinks expects to have a single URL to open. It is coded as follows:

hotlink{
macroinfo=_("Open the specified hotlink");
$OpenURL=getpref(STRING,$_hotlink.$ARG.".url");
$OpenURL==""? 0 : ( getpref(BOOL,$_hotlink.$ARG.".new")?&OpenURL_InNewpen($OpenURL));
}

Not really sure how to stop the "OpenURL" and point to the Groups2 macro.

Edit:
An idea just popped into my mind. Give me a few hours to test.

Yes, you can. This requires a change to the KM macro file 'hotlink.kmm'. The first macro named 'hotlink' in that file can be replaced with the following code:

hotlink{
macroinfo=_("Open the specified hotlink");
$OpenURL=getpref(STRING,$_hotlink.$ARG.".url");
if ( substr ( $OpenURL,0,1) == "&" ) {
	$_Groups2_GName = substr( $OpenURL,1);
	plugin(macros, "Groups2_OpenGroup(" . $_Groups2_GName .")") ;
	} else {
	$OpenURL=="" ? 0 : (getpref(BOOL,$_hotlink.$ARG.".new")?&OpenURL_InNewpen($OpenURL));
	}
}

For whichever hotlink number that you wish to be a group, just enter the group name preceded by the & character in the place where you would normally put a site URL.

Jeez!, JamesD,

This is perfect, works like a charm.
Should be in the default hotlink.kmm, as it doesn't seem to interfere with any other aspect of either the Hotlink or the Groups2 macros.

Maybe this thread should be moved to the Extensions Forum.

I'm going to edit my Open all bookmarks in a bookmarks folder synopsis one of these days.

	}
}

For whichever hotlink number that you wish to be a group, just enter the group name preceded by the & character in the place where you would normally put a site URL.

You can also just check for a dot. All hotlinks whether they are JS or URLs should have a dot. The following should work. No need for the "&" character.


hotlink{
macroinfo=_("Open the specified hotlink");
$OpenURL=getpref(STRING,$_hotlink.$ARG.".url");
$OpenURL==""?0 : (index($OpenURL,".")==-1 ? &hotlinkgroup: (getpref(BOOL,$_hotlink.$ARG.".new")?&OpenURL_InNewpen($OpenURL)));
}

hotlinkgroup{
$_Folder=pluginmsgex(bookmarks,FindNick,$OpenURL,STRING);
$_Folder ? 0 : $_Folder=pluginmsgex(hotlist,FindNick,$OpenURL,STRING);
$_Folder ? $URLBAR=$OpenURL : plugin(macros, "Groups2_OpenGroup(" . $OpenURL .")");
$_Folder ? id(ID_SELECT_URL):0; $_Folder ? id(ID_NAV_GO):0;
}


*Edit: Following Siria's thinking, added folder group recognition.

It inspired the inclusion of folder groups to the feature request. So your post was useful.

A new experimental version with HotGroups feature added:
Download new Groups2 0.6.3ex.

Only Hotlinks checked in Groups -> Options -> HotGroups menu are opened like Group/Nick.
This new experimental version overlayed default hotlinks accelerators Ctrl+[0-9].

Thanks for colaboration to this experimental version, with his ideas and code, to:

I guess I am old and cannot see the tree for the forest, but what steps do I take to set a hot group?

Seems the macro modules are initiated alphabetically, so since the hotlinks macro module is initiated after the groups2_HotGroups macro module, its accels override the HotGroups accels. Either the "groups2_HotGroups" name has to be changed to be initiated after "hotlinks" or the groups2_HotGroups macro has to be coded differently.

It's easy, go to Groups -> Options -> HotGroups -> Set Hotlink as HotGroup...,
This open Hotlinks Preference panel, set a Group name in a Hotlink, for example the Hotlink number 2 (Ctrl+2), Close Preferences.
Now check HotGroup 2 in HotGroups; Groups -> Options -> HotGroups -> HotGroup 2
When you use the Hotlink accelerator Ctrl+2, the Group/Nick name set in Hotlink2 will be opened.

It's working fine for me. Is posible KM load macro modules in alphabetical order because load macro modules from \macros folder and this are sorted alphabetically by Windows.

Note that it's important not use this groups2_HotGroups.kmm macro file with others groups2.kmm macros loaded and I'm using groups2_HotGroups.kmm file from \macros subdirectory in my KM user profile, not in main \K-Meleon\macros folder.
User Defined Macros are loaded at the end, after main macros.

If you are using HotGroups macro from main \K-Meleon\macros folder you can rename the macro file from groups2_HotGroups.kmm to x_HotGroups2.kmm, for example, to macro file will be loaded after hotlink.kmm macro module and accelerators will be overlayed.

Greetings.

HotGroups is working for me in my UserMacroFolder. I will test moving the file to MacroFolder.

It works in MacroFolder with name of file as x_HotGroups2.kmm.

Since most users place new macros in the main macros folder and the extension installers do the same, to solve the problem, just build the hotgroups accels again on startup. No renaming necessary.

$OnStartup = $OnStartup . "_Groups2_Startup;_Groups2_BuildHotGroupsMenu;";

or only set them OnStartup:

_Groups2_BuildHotGroupsMenu {
# Create HotGroups menu & accels:
setmenu(_("&HotGroups"), macro, _("&Set Hotlink as HotGroup..."), "kmPrefs(hotlinks)");
setmenu(_("&HotGroups"), separator, 1);
}
_Groups2_BuildHotGroupsAccels{
$_i=0; while($_i != 10) {
setmenu(_("&HotGroups"), macro, _("HotGroup ") . $_i, "_Groups2_HotGroup" . $_i);
setaccel("CTRL " . $_i, "macros(_Groups2_OpenHotGroup(" . $_i . "))"); $_i = $_i + 1;
}
}

$OnStartup = $OnStartup . "_Groups2_Startup;_Groups2_BuildHotGroupsAccels;";

OK, jsnj posted a good solution, code uploaded to same link.

A bit offtopic here, but just noticed something and can hardly believe it...

Always thought so, after reading this somewhere, probably here, and it 'seemed' to work that way. Only kept wondering why the toolbar names in the menu are so mixed up. Now when checking variables like $OnSetup or $OnInit, it turns out that macros are not at all read in alphabetical order, at least not on my machine, with KM1.6b2 on win98se. No, they are not even sorted by some date, although date seems to have much influence, just not for all, made me completely confused... Until something dawned on me, when I remembered how mp3-tracks are 'sorted' on most cheap mp3-players: in physical order, as they are placed on disk :O A first test seems to confirm that - too crazy.
