downthemall (limited-functions)

works as a download manager but without extracting all links from a page
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/files/kmdta-limited.7z

the downthemall extraction window relies on url passed from firefox menu or toolbarbutton which must be parsed with internalFunctions.js file to query the page and list the urls inside.. i can't make it work with kmeleon.. this same window is supposed to support drag and drop, so in theory it can be opened blank from kmeleon and shortcut dragged from kmeleon urlbar or link href and dropped into it to generate list but that doesn't work and it instantly terminates..it doesn't appear to like kmeleon so much.
also, there are no preferences..they are mostly ff overlays to control xul interface so they aren't needed.. the rest of options like filters etc can be accessed and manipulated from the download manager xul without problems

what works is the download manager by passing links to it from macro..doesn't seem much but it's a good feature because you can pause your downloads; add several downloads and queue them..close kmeleon and download them all later without the need of an external application. there's an alternative to the download extraction feature by using orbit downloader with desga's extension.

to access dta, ricght clicj on a link you want to download(like an exe, zip or anything) and select 'downloadman'



the url will automatically be copied to the addurl xul of dta and you just have to click start button to proceed with dta manager.

unfortunately no.. because forecastfox relies on 2 things that are strictly xul interface..the toolbar and statusbar. something similar can be done for kmeleon but it will require a kplugin.. so needs c++ programmer(dorian and mark007). a while back i tried doing an autoit implementation of a weatherbar to be launched from kmeleon using weather.com but it was very hard because to get the weather files, they had to be in xml format so autoit can extract the data and to ensure all files for all cities have consistency(extracting from webpage html means every city wdata will be in different lines) so that needed an extra xml parser.. and there were so many variables, like the icons for weather condition and celsius or fahrenheit and there wasn't going to be gui for user to edit settings(change cities) but it was going to be left to the users to edit an ini file themselves and get the code for their cities.. it was much easier to use a weatherstation application and launch from kmeleon.

another way; if you like to keep things integrated within kmeleon is this:

go to http://www.google.com/ig , it doesn't require sign-up. remove all modules and leave just the weather one and click save:



now with the weather module, add cities you want



now download ported igooglesiderbar and launch it from tools menu>igooglesidebar. this is a good extension for viewing just your modules with igoogle without the rest of page elements.. like footer and search.

beacause it's originallly a sidebar, it's supposed to open from firefox button..so it won't open rightaway..you'll need to click on grey button at the left





the catch here is it's a cookie-dependant module and if you remove your google cookie and open the sidebar you won't see your cities..so you might want to use cookieculler and protect the google cookie(s) so it never gets removed

Can you pass some extensions to try to convert you? So with the release more K-Meleon here in Brazil.

ported extensions can be found there:
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/jujuland46/JujuLand/KMES/KMES-Download.html
http://kmext.sourceforge.net
http://www.digivill.net/~joykillr/kmeleon/
and there's one there:
http://en.addons.pl/k-meleon.php

if you want to fiddle with incomplete dysfunctional extensison.. i can dig up a few that i gave up on them

latest one is fireuploader which was the most nightmarish conversion.. i had to work between 3 different versions of it to compile what i thought would be a working one for kmeleon
http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/tests/kmfireuploader-experiment.7z

it had problems everywhere..the interface xul,the main overlay js and the connection services even the menus didn't work... now that all works except for a big and ridiculous problem. this extension comes with couple of files that are used to authenticate the account logons on websites..it does not see those files and i have no idea where to place them so the extension can recognise them
the files are inside META-INF folder and i believe the files should remain in that folder but where to place that folder?
if you can figure it out this will help in future conversions of similar extensions that rely on meta-inf files to authenticate passwords (like meebo)
