I am building a simple Firefox extension using the Add-on SDK 1.0.
Scouring the docs and googling a lot, I couldn't find a way to create a simple menu under the browser's tools menu. Add-on SDK has a context-menu module, which (obviously) only handles the page context menus, which is not what I'm after. Is it that Add-on SDK does not have a module for this yet? If so, I believe I have access to all the firefox's XPCOM API in the Add-on SDK extension, but I can't figure out how to use this and create a simple menu entry under the tools menu.
Any pointers on how I might do this?
(BTW, not sure about the tags of this question, please correct if you feel so)
I wrote a module called menuitems which can be used to easily add a single menuitem to any of the normal menu bar items. It's on github here.
I haven't had the time to write docs yet, but you can find an example here, and the example is on AMO here.
I'll blog about it one of these days..

I just found out about AngularDart today and I want to build a sample app but I got stuck.
I'm currently browsing https://material-components-web.appspot.com/toolbar/index.html and I'd like to use the Waterfall Flexible Toolbar for my dart web app.
I'm using this website in order to reference the angular components for Dart https://dart-lang.github.io/angular_components_example but I can't find any toolbar examples.
Does that mean that I have to build my own toolbar? How can I do that?
Apparently in this case it's called Application Layout https://github.com/dart-lang/angular_components/tree/master/lib/app_layout
I need to create a firefox plugin that allows a user to take screenshots of any part of their desktop and have them uploaded to a server. There seems to be lots of plugins for screen capturing a webpage, but nothing for capturing anything outside of firefox. So after a little research I have not found much information on how this might be possible. I don't want to resort to a using a java applet but I will if that is my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I might create such a feature?
Thanks
I don't think a Firefox addon is the most appropriate approach here. Maybe split the task into a Firefox addon to offer the "upload to a server" component and a native app to do the desktop screenshot (or just integrate with existing screenshot tools).
If you're worried about complicating the installation process for end users, you could look into bundling the addon component and native app into a single installer (e.g. MSI on Windows, RPM on Linux, etc.). You'll have to come up with different apps for each platform you want to support (and maybe even each version - e.g. Windows XP vs Windows 10).
Whatever you decide, you'll probably need to create a more specific question to get further help here (there's no simple Firefox.Addons.API.TakeScreenShot() answer I'm afraid).
Also make sure you're using the right terminology - a plugin is the deprecated NPAPI approach whereas addons are still supported.
I'm actually working on taking native desktop screenshots just in the last coupel of days. I'm using js-ctypes. My work goal is the same exact thing to, upload to server. If you would like to collaborate I am very open to it! We can chat about it on #jsctypes irc channel :) irc://moznet/jsctypes (Mibbit IRC WebApp) If you don't know js-ctypes thats ok i can handle that while you can handle uploading techniques, and an editor on canvas :) The editor is a huge part of it, you can see my ideas/plans here: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/wiki/NativeShot
I'm really really interested in a collab on this!
I'm still working on windows right now, the color is messed up: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/tree/digitanks-method
I was just about to start OSX work following this example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html and here: Take ScreenShot without Window
You can install the addon from that branch and click the icon that gets added to the toolbar, it will take a screenshot with 3sec delay and then append it to the body of the selected tab. (Windows only right now)

Got some quirks. Released it as v1.0 though. I'm working on Android support, pretty close. I need to flesh out the editor tools. Please let me know if you're willing to collaborate.
At the moment I try to develope a simple maps Android application using Visual Studio 2012 and Xamarin.
For this reason I created a Binding Library, like it is desribed here:
http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/advanced_topics/java_integration_overview/binding_a_java_library_(.jar)/
For my app it is essential to display markers and ballons with a short title text. I did a lot of research and found out, that I should use the osmbonuspack for this purpose. I tried to implement the "osmbonuspack_v4.5.jar" in my binding project as "Embedded Jar" but I think it's the wrong attempt.
Did someone managed it already to create a Xamaring Binding Library of the osmbonuspack? I would appreciate every attempt!
I am confused within the new Omniture Interface for a small thing. I am trying to Generate SiteCatalyst JavaScript Code for my site.
Here is what I did.
Created Report Suites from Report Suite Manager.
and got confused how to generate code for my site.
See the old interface made it very clear to create code for my site by selecting a Report Suite as explained here.
But how to generate code by selecting a Report Suite in the new interface?
Thanks.
I don't know where the code generation is or if it even exists any longer. Have you considered using the tag manager?
It's in the Admin home under "Tag Management". You can download the site snippet from there. You will see all the code in your container at that point. You have to set variables a little differently when you use the tag manager at that point but there is plenty of documentation around it.
Code Manager
Code manager lets you download data collection code for web and mobile platforms.
Admin tools > Code Manager.
After you download the library, you must configure the code to send data to the correct tracking server and report suite.
Tag Manager
TagManager is the standard method for deployment of Adobe Marketing Cloud tags.Tag Manager 2.0 is the latest one available.
TagManager lets you:
Deploy Marketing Cloud products and Genesis integrations though a single hosted JavaScript file.
Manage tags and configuration in a secure administrative interface.
Test changes and quickly roll back to previous versions.
Use existing SiteCatalyst tags to implement TagManager without a complex deployment process.
Deploy third-party tags.
Dynamic Tag Manager
Adobe acquire Satellite and it is now DTM.It is the future of implementation.
Visit the link DTM
The old Code Manager is still there, just a bit hidden. If you go into the interface for Code Manager, just under that table is this text. It brings you to the old Code Manager:
To view the legacy code manager or download AppMeasurement libraries for BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7, or Symbian click here.
In future the world is expected to go with Tag Management and when you have time it is recommended that you implement that.
Thanks C.
I am currently looking for a way to integrate detail views of selected Jira Issues into a Conflluennce page. It seems it is not a problem at all to embed a list of Issues into confluence, but I am looking for a way to integrate the detail-view of a single Jira Issue into a Conflluence page.
The reason I need this, is that I am currently defining a workflow for formmally planning a Project. Currently I export the Issues of a Project version to Word and then update the resulting document to become a formal specification document. I would now like to do this in Confuence.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Chris
This is available in the latest Confluence version, 3.5. Here's the documentation.
Well I solved my problem by creating my own confluence macro that accesses Jira using the REST interface. Works like a charm. If I find the time, I'll try to make it generally available (currently It's extremely tied to our configuration (hard-coded urls and credentials) Will be looking forward to utilizing the trusted communication features in the future.
