Guess I won't be quoting posts as often...

I'm working on a Firefox version now (takes more to do their add-on and extensions from looking at they howtos). Waiting for Opera's reply as to if they add it or not. Right now, Chrome seems to be the only one that lets you publish it and have it active a few minutes later.

[Little Bobby Tables]

oh can you make firefox addons bhx?

[BHX]

Well, I'm going to try. Just skimming the tutorials they have makes it look like there is quite a bit more to Firefox add-ons and extensions compared to Chrome/Opera.

Thanks, it works.

I don't suppose you'd mind publishing the sources? I'm interested.

Not my source to publish. I'm was just doing it as a polite gesture to the other members of this site. EssGeEich is the creator of the code, I just published it to bypass Chrome issues and let other members using other browsers to use it.

[.:EDIT:.]
I'm getting nowhere with the Firefox version. I'm not giving up, just wanted to let others know that I'm having issues with it.

Or better , why not add those buttons to the site officially (atleast the Quote button).
As that logo says "twicker approved".

I had issues making the ffox version, too. I gave up.

Well, twicker is focusing on the "wiki" side of the website.
He just said he liked the buttons in my (old, locked) "official" topic.

@Stewbond: You can open the crx as a zip file ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83943521/publicaccess/Files/CplusplusQuoteButton.crx )
(It's mostly the JS file doing stuff, and keep in mind i'm no js pro)

EssGeEich,

Would you mind if I took a look at it for Safari?

I don't know anything about extensions yet but this would be a good place to start.

@Canis Lupus:
Anyone can work on it as much as it wants, as long as it doesn't steal personal informations or similar stuff.
Chrome wanted some code to be injected to be into a <script> tag so it's a string, make sure to check it out.

IIRC he said "Nice hack, EssGeEich" or similar, at which you felt motivated to make the extension :)
