FORK of Select like a boss

[vannilla]

Ah but wait, the UUID was Pale Moon's, not the extension.
Do not change that. Reinstate the ec8... id where it was.
Also change the version, that's not exactly a reasonable version and depending on how things are programmed internally, it might be rejected.

[francesco bat]

I fixed is now is correct:

Code: Select all

But maybe like Vanilla said, it does new error.
Uploading now i get:

em:targetApplication does not contain a currently supported application id

How can i know Palemoon ID ?

[jobbautista9]

You can see Pale Moon's ID which is {8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4} on its application.ini file on the folder where it is installed.

[francesco bat]

It's ready.
I add ID Palemoon.
I copied it from another Addon
Now it is uploaded.
A question: email is visible and it can to be changed ?
Bye

[New Tobin Paradigm]

That version number is unacceptable.

[francesco bat]

That version number is unacceptable.

It’s not just that.
Verifying files i see references to Select Like A Boss in some strings like in bootstrap.js:

Code: Select all

chrome://SelectLikeABoss/content/'

Do i must to edit also these, except the license, of course ?
Bye
Francesco bat

[jobbautista9]

If you edited the name on chrome.manifest, then you need to change the chrome:// urls as well.

[francesco bat]

Thank you very much to everyone.
It's edited and uploaded and i installed it from file in Palemoon and disabled Select Like A Boss and all work
I wait your final choice and any other change to be made
Bye

Dude I am gonna have to purge this extension and your second one because of the version number. How Mozilla Toolkit version numbers compares to one another does not work like you think they would when you stray outside a few established conventions especially when you have dashes in them.. Phoebus follows the same rules. Just use a regular X.y.z type of versioning and resubmit. If you really are bent on using a date then consider either YYYYMMDD or YYYY.MM.DD (not the US or EU date order) as the version.

For more info please see: http://udn.realityripple.com/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/Interface/nsIVersionComparator

As I said in the other thread, these kinds of easily catchable mistakes should be checked for by you or your community peers before you ever submit for review to the Add-ons Site and removal due to issues like this can currently only be done by me and ONLY me.. manually. Ryan or FranklinDM can't do it and Moonchild hasn't been trained to. If you want the background on that it is simply this: I intentionally did not code a way to delete invalid extensions because I was totally against the tenancy of those, when it was still FTP controlled, to just ragedelete everything nor did I want to give the Add-ons Team the power to just delete stuff on a whim. Given these are the fifth and six extensions I have had to purge, due to mistakes, in the past month or so perhaps that was a mistake to not at least code it in for Phoebus Administrators and the Add-ons Team Leader.

Ok!
I edited it but i don't upload it if it has still errors.

Yes that will functionally work but it looks really fucking stupid. Are you being intentionally thick? Also, don't quote entire posts if they are more than a few lines, that IS a forum rule.

[jobbautista9]

It's better if you use 29.* as your maxVersion instead, since there's no 30 release yet. It will also helped other users know what versions this extension is compatible on.

Also, you might want to cut the description up to "(like in Opera'12 browser)" instead. You can always put where it was forked from in the add-on's page in the repository instead. I personally prefer to keep the description as short as possible.

[New Tobin Paradigm]

It would still be great if you used a more standard versioning scheme. You are literally telling it is is Major version 202104.

[francesco bat]

I'm sorry for confusion i created.
Just now i saw other addons have not name version like date.
I deleted date and i leave just 1.0 (this also for second extension in other post).
Now it is:

Is it ok ?

[New Tobin Paradigm]

Looks fine to me. Question: Do you want it to also target Basilisk? Have you seen if it works? Cause little-to-no-effort multi-application support is a good thing imo.

[francesco bat]

It's strange.
I tried now but it can not to install in Basilisk because incompatible.
I edited so (i don't think it is wrong):

Your RDF isn't well formed. I fixed it:

But try this alt-form which uses mostly attributes instead of tags as it tends to be much easier to read:

[francesco bat]

Yes.
It's installed, tried and it works
Now one thing I didn’t understand: the extension now works because the rdf shape has been modified, or because there was a specific error?
Sorry about the stupid question, but since the form has changed a lot, I can’t tell if there was a specific mistake I made.
