Firefox and Chrome addon for send2cgeo

Open prmtl opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I've created a small addon for Firefox and Chrome. It make use of an extensions API called "page action" - basically it's an icon that when clicked will send cache do send2cgeo on supported websites.

I saw that there was attempts in the past to create such addon but it all settled on a userscript, but IMHO is some cases it might be easier to have a dedicated addon (like better support for browser APIs, no need to install Greasmonkey/Tampermonkey just for this script).

You can check it at https://github.com/prmtl/send2cgeo_addon. I've used c:geo icons and attached an information next to it that they came from c:geo and are licensed under Apache 2.0.

I would love to see your feedback.

Hi @prmtl ! Sorry for the late feedback, but this repo is not well maintained (might be due to the fact, that we don't have any regular contributors for the script at the moement). However I did take a look at your extension and installed it for Firefox.

I tried on www.opencaching.de but I do not see (or don't understand where to look) any icon to send the cache?

In general I could imagine switching from script based to a real add-on but I cannot judge the code (no programmer myself), therefore someone else from the team (if anyone is able...) should check if this will would work out.

Thanks for reply! There should be an icon (so called "page action") in the address bar. See screenshot: screenshot at jan 03 20-01-54_oc_de_addon

Let me know if there is anything wrong with it. Either here or in the 'Issues' in the repo of the addon.
