Hi! Thx for the excellent beta3 version. Two things I would like to install for myself:

* a button to read mail
* to change the notebook button that opens default notepad to open another notebook such as metapad a.o.

Would be great if anyone could help me.

Thx in advance,

Mala Okeh

A) I need worked a little in it. I like add mail options to Preference panel.

B) It's easy, you only open 'notes.lua' file (in 'lua' folder) with notepad (or similar) and change the line:

notepad = "notepad.exe"

to your executable path program: (note that '\' character must be double)

notepad = "C:\\Example\\path\\powernotes.exe"

Tip: With the line:
name = "notebook.txt",
You can change filename used to notes.

Thx, desga2, the change of the notepad.exe into another .exe works great (I forgot to put doubled \ in my own previous attempts). I am curious to see your solution for the mail.

Thanks for your hosting recomendation, i'll considered to change.
But the problem is the php forum URL link conversion:

With [ url = ...] example link [ / url ] notation:
example.url

I have used [ b ]& [ / b ] to link showed good.
www.example.url

PHP forum URL links conversion not run fine.

Edited: Curiosity in the 'Preview' of the post the link is showed good.

I am sorry to report that the new edited link does not work also. I even tried to download the file with another browser, but it failed as well. Another host recommendation could be http://megashare.com/ .

@ ACM:

Link is downloaded ok to me in FireFox 2.0.0.11 and K-Meleon 1.1.x. I checked the download file and this is correct.

What browser and version are you using?
Are you using some download manager?

Only you have this problem, Hao downloaded the file ok.

I guess there is some misundersting going on here. On my part, mind you. I expected 4/5 MB file, but I got just a mere 2 KB one. I failed to notice this is just a patch, not the complete browser bundle or a new, full variant compilation of the whole source code of K-Meleon. I am really sorry and beg your pardon, although allow me to reassert that the original link was indeed broken.

No problem, rigth is a PATCH file with 23 KB of size.

Would a search Favorites function be hard to code? That's quite handy and would be much appreciated by many users, I guess.

Are you referer to Favorites (IE) or Bookmarks?

Is there an easy way to put items from the preference drop down list back on the Toolbar area like "File, View, Edit, etc.?

desga2,

I used "Favorites" as a generic term. Sorry. In fact, I mean K-meleon bookmarks (our "Favorite" addresses bookmarked in K-Meleon).

To show menu bar go to Preference panel (click in Preference button) and in first tab 'Display' check 'Show Menu' option. You need restart K-Meleon to view changes.

This option will changed the pref value:
user_pref("kmeleon.toolband.Menu.visibility", false);
to
user_pref("kmeleon.toolband.Menu.visibility", true);
in your 'pref.js' file in your K-M user profile:

Thanks for the quick reply:-)

Example: Add a menu item to open an Instant Messenger.

To change menus you must modify 'menus.cfg' file. You can found this file in path:
C:\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\pref\menus.cfg
If you have installed my patch, see before posts in this thread, you can acces to this file from menu: Options -> Advanced Configs -> Menus

- Documentation about menus definitions:
http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/ConfigFiles#menus
http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/manual/menus-cfg.html
http://freenet-homepage.de/CoolMcKluus/software/kmeleon/project/reference/cfgfiles/menus.html

In last link of documentation, the section "Advanced menu configuration" don't work in CCF versions.

Note that in CCF version is used luamacro() instead macro().

Example code to 'menus.cfg' file: (added code in bold)

E&xternal{
luamacro(externalexec("C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe"), Open MSN Messenger)
}

Main {
:&File
:&Edit
:&View
%ifplugin bookmarks
:&Bookmarks
%endif
%ifplugin favorites
:F&avorites
%endif
%ifplugin hotlist
:H&otlist
%endif
:&Options
:&Proxy
:Groups
%ifplugin sessions
:&Sessions
%endif
:&Help
:E&xternal

}

Spanish: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/es/
Portuguese: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/pt/

- Documentation, plugin for K-Meleon and others tools:
Mark307's web page (creator of Lua plugin for K-Meleon):
http://mark307.hp.infoseek.co.jp/

First you must add this line in 'macros.lua' file to load new macro file:

require "external"

'external' is the name (without extension) of Lua macro file ('external.lua', in this example).
'macros.lua' file is in path: C:\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\pref\macros.lua

Example code to Lua macro file 'external.lua':

--[[
Filename: external.lua
This is a lua macro to exec an external application method.
By: desga2

Note to load macro and this work:
Needed add this line in 'macros.lua' file at path: C:\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\pref\
require "external"

Example to use in 'menus.cfg':
luamacro(externalexec("C:\full\path\to\filename.exe"), Open external application)
]]

function externalexec(path)

	if path then
		exec(path)
	end

end

Remember save changes in all files and restart K-Meleon CCF.
Now you have a new menu item to open your Instant Messenger: (in this example)
External -> Open MSN Messenger

Good coding!

Another question? Is there a way to add a Java Script on/off button on the Toolbar? tia

no, but right click on privacy options button will give you that toogle as option.

You can add an accelerate key as for example F7, in 'accel.cfg' file:
VK_F7 = luamacro(JSToggle)

as for example a JavaScript button.
By: desga2
Based on: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,76210,76238#msg-76238

Note to load macro and this work:
Needed add this line in 'macros.lua' file at path: C:\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\pref\

Example code to use it in 'toolbars.cfg':

	luamacro(ToggleJS)
	JavaScript Toggle
	toolhot.bmp[19]
	toolcold.bmp[18]
	tooldead.bmp[19]

}
]]

-- Main function:

	JSToggle()
	_pref_SyncJavaScript()

end

-- Toolbar syncronization:
function _pref_SyncJavaScript()
-- JSButton Bar (make sure the toolbar name is correct):
	toolbar_name="JSButton Bar"
	if getpref(TYPE_BOOL, "javascript.enabled")==false then
		v_button=1
	elseif getpref(TYPE_BOOL, "javascript.enabled")==true then
		v_button=0
	end
	pluginmsg("toolbars","CheckButton",toolbar_name..",luamacro(ToggleJS)"..","..v_button)
end

-- Load button state when start:
hook.add(StartupHook, _pref_SyncJavaScript)
hook.add(LoadHook, _pref_SyncJavaScript)

Holla desgas2, Your contribution from ES was kind of late plus

it takes contributions from ES, JP, CN, FR... to code cool browsers such as k-meleons

Thanks for the reply. Is this supposed to work? I followed the above instructions and when I open KM I get the following error msg:

...Program Files\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\pref\macros.lua:40: module 'JSToggleB' not found:
no field package.preload['JSToggleB']
no file 'C:\Program Files\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\lua\JSToggleB.lua'

no file 'C:\Program Files\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\pref\\lua\JSToggleB.dll'

what am I doing wrong?

Code in post before must be in a text filenamed 'JSToggleB.lua' as you can read at begining of code:

Quote
In my code
Filename: JSToggleB.lua

This file must be stored in 'lua' folder in your K-M CCf installation path, for example: C:\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\lua\
In this folder are all .lua files, your problem can be two things:
A) You saved code in a file with other filename or extension.
B) You saved the file in an incorrect folder. (not in \lua folder)

When you add this code line in 'macros.lua' file:

Quote
In my code
Needed add this line in 'macros.lua' file at path: C:\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\pref\
require "JSToggleB"

You are says to K-M CCF "Search me this file 'JSToggleB' and load it (.lua is added automaticaly) that must be in '\lua' folder", but in your case, K-M CCF not found your file.
Check if your inserted line code in 'macros.lua' is identical filenamed to filename (and the correct extension .lua) with all code in before post.

Check it and try again!
The error message is clear: "module 'JSToggleB' not found"

Aha! there is a button on the toolbar titled "Javascript Toggle", unfortunately, clicking on it does nothing :-( . I placed the script in the "Silverbird" toolbars.cfg since that is the skin I use. Is this correct? and if not, where should it be placed? tia

@ Zoohooter:

Sorry but my patience is exhausted, i'm going to tell it as if you are a child of 6 years.

-1) Copy this post and before post with all code in some temp text file. Use notepad or similar! (Rigth click -> New -> Text Document)

0) Close K-MeleonCCF. NOW!

1) Add this code in 'toolbars.cfg' file at your current used skin, for example to 'Silverbid': C:\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\skins\Silverbird\toolbars.cfg

JSButton Bar(16,16){
	JSButton{
	luamacro(ToggleJS)
	JavaScript Toggle
	toolhot.bmp[19]
	toolcold.bmp[18]
	tooldead.bmp[19]
	}
}

Save changes and close.

2) Add this line in 'macros.lua' file at path: C:\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\pref\

require "JSToggleB"

For example you can add it at end of 'require "******"' line list (after last line or in middle of list where you like). Save changes and close.

3) Open windows explorer, go to your K-MeleonCCF install folder and go to \lua subfolder in it. Example path: C:\K-MeleonCCFME0.08Beta3\lua\

4) Create a new text file. (you know, yes? Rigth click -> New -> Text Document)
And rename it to JSToggleB.lua

5) Open your new file JSToggleB.lua with notepad or similar and paste all code in before post. Save changes and close.

6) Run K-MeleonCCF and there is a new icon in toolbar!
PUSH IT! Work, PUSH IT AGAIN! WORK!
Good job boy.

I hope you don't get angry with me.

P.S.; When it work is showed in status bar the message "JavaScript ALLOWED/BLOKED"
(When you push in button, obviously)
If this not work you are a bad boy. Read this again but now with more attention because you are doing something bad.
