XDA Toolbar? Sounds cool :p

Well you know you can get like a gmail icon which has a red circle over telling you how many emails you have, An xda one which will display PM's and subbed threads, could be difficult though :D?
[Off-topic] BeerChameleon:
Update to new version :rolleyes::rolleyes:

No scrolling or bugs :p:p
[Off-topic] Archer:
What's this?? It's new to me.
[Off-topic] BeerChameleon:
So it gets written about in the portal ;) :D
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Afaik it informs portal team , If a writer likes it they might write about it on the portal, Because it'd be awesome :D
[Off-topic] Archer:
Ah cool - thanks. I've not seen that before. And thanks for the vote :)

I think the toolbar will be lot better though. Already got image resizing working so images are small when you first hit the page and you can toggle them big and small by clicking them. Also got the basics of a trimmed down page view that you can toggle on and off.

[Off-topic] reinbeau:
Voted! This is cool. I'd love it if you did the XDA toolbar and it had its own place to store just XDA bookmarks - perhaps by thread title. Just a thought.
[Off-topic] Archer:
That's something I'd already thought of actually. I was thinking of a hierarchical menu of forums and subforums that you've bookmarked.

[Off-topic] TRusselo:
have a great suggestion if its possible to add on the user side, forum auto update, there is a great vbulletin mod (server side) for auto update! updated threads (new posts) move to the top right before your eyes, no more hitting F5 and with a nice fade-in effect.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=232960

this would be a great addition to the forums, of course an off option in the user control panel would be nice for the members that dont want the feature or are in forums that are way too busy for their slow internet connection.

[Off-topic] Archer:
Yeah Max is right. It would be possible with some Ajax tom-foolery but it would be heavily frowned upon due to the traffic overheads.

I did see your post in the general forum about this, and it seems like a nice feature but would definitely have to be at least partially implemented server-side.

Excellent extension.

Now if only we could teach people to spell properly, get the Dev's to name their ROMs sensibly and cut the utter tripe attached, then the forums would be a better place ...

For example, try this total load of b/s:

[Off-topic] TRusselo:
maybe they could leave an opening on the sever side for you, to offload the overhead processing to the user computer running the add-on. just a thought.
[Off-topic] Archer:
I don't know what you mean by "leave an opening on the server side for you".

The server would have to be queried on a regular basis to see if there had been any updates. This might not be a lot of traffic for a single user, but for thousands of users at a time it could (and probably would) bring the server to a halt.
[Off-topic] Archer:
The extension has now been upgraded to the XDA Toolbar. Feel free to let me know of any requests or issues.

[Off-topic] Dirk:
What mine? Nah, that was just the left half! I always have four windows open so i cropped the picture.
[Off-topic] Archer:
Thanks Dirk, but that's "by design". The toolbar needs a minimum size so that I have room to add future options, so I decided to make it stay the same size as the highlighted section in the attached screenshot. It does go quite small, but obviously not small enough for your crazy setup! :p

Thanks for letting me know though.

However, your post has raised a problem. The image isn't resizing as it should :mad:

Grrr... that's something that needs sorting quicksmart!

[Off-topic] Archer:
Thanks mate - greatly appreciated :)

The bookmarks is gonna be a big task, and I'm not actually convinced that it's worth doing, considering that you have bookmarks in the browser. I'm not sure I can justify it.

One thing I would really like to do is to set up a webserver to store all the options on, so your toolbar is your toolbar, no matter where you use it. At the minute all the info is stored in cookies so they're limited to the 1 pc.

Stuff for the future anyway :)
[Off-topic] Archer:
I did think of that but wasn't sure the best way to bring it back. I considered leaving the "xdatoolbar" logo visible and hide the rest. Maybe you'll just get used to it :p

I'll keep thinking and maybe do something when I have a good idea about it.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Perhaps a collapse button so when pressed it is a small bar say 10 px in height with a small arrow to un collapse :)

Thanks guys - added to the list, near the top, so I'll get onto that soon.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Awesome can't wait for more stuff to be added to it. And I agree with the hiding it, especially now since there aren't a lot of options to it.
[Off-topic] cdesai:
One more thing that can be added

Global n user toggle

i mean, i hide all sigs by ur toolbar, then i wanna see the sig of just one member, i click on his name and toggle sig(the button stays there even if i choose hide all sigs, but it wont work - just display one sig, n keep the rest hidden)

also, you got ur first web-store rating!
[Off-topic] Archer:
Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for the rating and review :)

As for the suggestion, it was never meant to allow you to turn off all signatures and then turn individual ones on. The toggle menu option is still there because you can still add someone to the list of signatures to hide, even when you can't see it. In other words, it does the same as always, but you don't see any effect. It's the same when you have "Show all signatures" selected - selecting toggle has no visible effect until you use the signature toggle settings.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Damn, Beaten to first review, but added one :)

Brilliant however, I couldn't see it at first it blended in so well :P However, it would be awesome if there was user definable image sizes, as your someone with a 1440p monitor, 400 across is tiny (Not me, can't afford that) :D But anyway chhers for your hardwork :D
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Added my review to the web-store and will be buying you an xmas four-pack for your work.
[Off-topic] Archer:
That's something that's on my to-add to the to-do list ;) It was always my intention to add custom sizes to the list, and maybe get rid of the suggested sizes all together.

Thanks for the glowing review Dirk - totally appreciated :) And speaking of 4 packs, I think I'll start on one now. I have a boozey night with mates ahead of me!

[Off-topic] TRusselo:
any chance of getting this feature put in one way or another?http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18426933&postcount=2658

adding relevant Operating System forum below device forum? Even if it has to be setup manually by the user in toolbar settings. (select WP / Android / ect for favorite devices).

would be an amazing time saver...
[Off-topic] Archer:
It's not possible to add anything that would require database access as the toolbar runs in your browser, and not on the server. It would theoretically be possible to give a forum URL and have it shown under your device forum as you suggest, but it would mean twice as much traffic for every device forum page and again, that would be frowned upon.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
I was thinking maybe a go to top of page button? I always scroll to the top and click the 'off topic' link so I get a refreshed page. Not sure if anyone else does that though.
[Off-topic] Macelangelo77:
Thanks for the toolbar, I think it's a great idea.

A remark and a request:

I love the toolbar, but the traffic sign behind the username annoys me. Any way to make that optionally showing or hidden?

Another suggestion: I would very much like a notification in the toolbar, showing whether there are unread topics in my list with subscribed threads. Could this be done?

Sincerely,

Mac

[Off-topic] theDante:
This is great! Thank you so much.

Now I need to try and figure out how to program one for my site!
[Off-topic] Archer:
If it's your own site then you don't need to do an extension. Feel free to PM me for any help. I'll at least point you at some relevant sites. I only started working on extensions myself last week, but have been doing web development for a long time. It's mainly javascript, so if you know that then it'll be a breeze.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
So much potential in this extension! Perhaps i lack imagination but it's amazing the things other people have thought of that i have missed!

All this XDA usage talk has left me feeling inspired to do something about my own inefficient XDA browsing habits. I imagine the extension will be a great help with this, but in the meantime i need to create a bookmarks folder specifically for the forum. Something i haven't done before now as i like to keep my Bookmarks neat and well ordered.

At the moment i have the one, which just launches the main forum. The amount of time i waste navigating to a specific place from there is inordinate! If you've ever wondered why we have the '** Off-Topic Thread Title Here **' paradigm, it's because i often use Google to go to a specific Off-Topic thread. Try it yourself! Search for 'Off Topic Images Thread':

http://bit.ly/uN1EuJ

1st in the list right? :D

Method in my madness! It's still a lot of hoops to jump through to get to where i want to be though. Especially if, like me, you're visiting a dozen times a day, (and that's just from work). Anything that makes life a little easier, makes browsing the forum a little more efficient is a bloody life-saver in my book!
[Off-topic] Archer:
Yeah, there's certainly some very useful ideas in here. The only reason I can't implement some of them is because the toolbar runs on your PC, not the XDA server, so it can't do anything that involves the database without basically doubling the amount of traffic. I really don't think the admins would be happy with me doing that, so I have to say no.

Bookmarks is a definite "on the list" item though. I do have a folder structure for bookmarks, mainly because of my StumbleUpon addiction. Since making the structure it was simple to add a XDA folder and put my most visited forums in there, so I'm sorted. I just like the idea of being able to click a button on a forum page and have that forum bookmarked in a treeview style bookmark list, in the appropriate forum, rather than just a list of links (I'll probably make it toggle between tree and list views).

I'm also very impressed to see that the "off topic images thread" search works so well. It reminds me of a night a few months ago when someone mentioned serious cat and several people went "huh?" My mate did a google search for serious cat and my XDA profile was the 3rd link in the list. Fame at last ;)
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I'm not sure everyone realised why i did it until now! :D

Considering how many random forums have 'image' threads, or 'photography' theads or 'movies' threads, it works very well to have a consistent naming convention. Take into account that XDA has a very high rating in Googles search algorithms, and it's easier to understand why our Image thread will appear higher than another forums version!

It saves me a lot of time, especially with threads that may have dropped back to page 5 and beyond!
[Off-topic] Archer:
I'd never actually thought about it, despite adopting the same naming convention myself. Great idea though and it obviously works!

I have noticed that XDA is always high in Google results. It makes me feel validated :D
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Perhaps El Goog are showing some love for the developers? :)
[Off-topic] Archer:
Now why on earth would Google show The Love for a tiny website with only a few members who happen to mostly covet an unheard of mobile OS? :p

If I were John Google, I'd have an XDA account fo shiz. I'd also "leak" early versions of upcoming OSs so people could try/test it ;)
[Off-topic] TRusselo:
well i was able to create a start-page for my device that acts *almost* as i wanted (no live update) but it works, without extra server load... no database access

doubt this could be introduced in any way through extention... but as proof of concept...

EDIT MOVED to own thread. ====>>> Custom XDA Captivate Start page -editing instructions!

EDIT:

BUT BACK TO OP: The hover over feature of the toolbar is getting on my nerves, could it be a "click to open menu?" every time i go to click my bookmark bar it comes up and pisses me off.
[Off-topic] Archer:
I'll be adding a "hide toolbar" option in the next release. That should solve any issues with it showing when you don't want it.
[Off-topic] huggs:
It'd be great if it worked with Chromium.

Doesn't show sig toggle button when using sig settings, and hides all the buttons at the bottom of posts except for Quote.

Looks great though, gave a 5* rating, and about to install on FF8 right now.

Thanks Archer!

Edit... I thought I read somewhere in this thread that Firefox was supported?

Just tried it and it said my browser isn't supported. Looked for another d/l link but found none.
