demo38 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) I'm releasing this quick and easy way to get into all of the CGArchitect forum threads and features from a drop down menu inside of Firefox. I first saw this implemented for another forum, so I decided to write one for CGArchitect. This extension adds a "CGArchitect" menu item in your main Firefox menu bar with drop-downs to get directly to all threads, edit your profile settings, contact mods and access features. Please let me know if you find any issues. Mods, if you would prefer to be removed from the list, please PM me and I'll ghost you out. Install page for the cgArchitect Extension: REMOVING LINK TEMPORARILY - UPDATING Here is what the extension adds to your Firefox menubar, (you can always remove it again in your Tools / Add-Ons like any other extension): Edited June 26, 2008 by demo38 Adding a screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJLynn Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Nice work. Does it update if we change something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demo38 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hey, I'm glad you like it! I'm finding it pretty quick to get to things. It doesn't update dynamically, they actually hard link into those specific areas of the forum, but from one location rather than multi-paging to get there. Meant more as a time saver really. As things change over time though, I can update the script to reflect those changes. In theory, when you go to run your Firefox add-ons updates, it would then see that the newer version is available and install it for you. Worst off, you just reinstall from the webpage link above and it over-writes the previous install and you're upgraded that way. Pretty easy either way! Please PM me if things change on the forum (anyone), and when that happens I'll post back in this thread to let you know when the script is updated. I hope it saves you some time too!

demo38 Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 wanna make one for Avant Browser? please.. pretty pleeeaase Hi Koper, Not sure if it's possible? Don't know much about Avant, it appears that it's a skin over IE (sort of). IE is more locked down, so... Are extensions even possible in Avant? ------------------ I'm looking at adding some more function to the cgArch drop down, some image viewing "helpers", and some quick word searches. More to come!

demo38 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 It should install just fine as it creates links to the various sections of the forum as they exist in english. If it doesn't, please let me know and we'll see what we can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi Jonathon, just wondering if you will be creating a version of the menu for Firefox 3? I have tried to install the existing one from your website but Firefox rejects it. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyElNino Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Can I use this on a Mac? (still Firefox) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Well I think its a pretty slick idea. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to install on FF 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demo38 Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Glad you like it, I have to update for some new sections as well. I'm buried right now in some presentation materials at the moment (I know, like most of us are...), I'll try and update this as soon as I can next week. Thanks for the interest! -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demo38 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 In progress... Some things have changed in the structure and the way to sign the add-ons now. I have the changes in the forum organization updated as well as the updated moderator list ready to go, onto semantics. Will let you know asap! Cheers. -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
