Is there somewhere where I could find all the Macro functions?

Thanks,
Rick

I know the following (065 beta):

#
$
menu=name;
open(url);
opennew(url);
openbg(url);
exec(kommando parameter);
setpref(type, pref, value);
togglepref(type, pref, values...);
getpref(type, pref, value);
id(Kommando_ID);
plugin(file, command);
statusbar(text);

Does exist more?

and i think getpref() only has the first two arguments. smiling smiley

This is what I get from the source. Not sure what pluginmsg and pluginmsgex does. I have used most of the others and they seem to all work. This is the latest version of the plugin of course. smiling smiley

macros (macroname);
Executes a macro.

alert (message [,title]);
A dialog-box with an OK-button.

$temp=confirm (message [, title]);
A dialog with an OK- and Cancel-Button, returns 'OK' or 0.
But how I can use $temp? There are no commands like 'if' and 'goto'!

prompt (???)

How I can use the prompt command?

Actually it appears its confirm("message","title","buttons","icon") and depending on what buttons are used, it can return any of the following.

OK
YES
NO
ABORT
RETRY
IGNORE
0


prompt() actually does not do anything at this point.


Since as you mention there is no way to really use them at this point there probably isn't much point in going into detail. I guess you probably could pass this value to a command with exec(), or to a plugin with pluginmsg or pluginmsgex, but personally I am not sure what you can really accomplish this way. smiling smiley

My guess he has plans to add if..else etc in the future. (At least I hope)

conditional statements are planned at some point, hence all the stuff that exists but isn't really useful for anything yet... don't know if it's going to make it into the next release or not, though.

...or with macros():

test {
$goto=confirm("Realy?", "Confirm!")
macros("test".$goto)
}

testOK {
alert("makro testok", "macro")
}

test0 {
alert("makro test0", "macro")
}

My guess he has plans to add if..else etc in the future. (At least I hope)

I hope so too.

good news... it looks like conditional statements are shaping up for the next release, but the ability to toggle toolbar buttons (as in 'checkbox' mode) was also somewhat unceremoniously added recently, and the two in combination seem like they're going to make beautiful music together...

thanks, developer people, for making our macro dreams come true. smiling smiley

Since we are discussing about macros functions, I have some problems with current string concatenation in macros.I posted it on another form here on kmeleon
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?f=4&i=2410&t=2410.

Here is a short summary of what is happening.

I created a macro to do split browsing similar to the one in konqueror under kde. The following macro splits the screen and you can browse the same site side by side.

split_screen{
menu=&Split screen
$split="javascript:{var message=\"<html> <frameset cols=\\"50%,*\\"> <frame src=\\"\"+location.href+\"\\"> <frame src=\\"\"+location.href+\"\\"> </frameset></html>\";document.write(message);}";
open($split);
}

As you can see I am simulating a split browser using frames. I wanted to attach this macro to link pop up and I wanted current link selected to be shown in the split browser. So I exactly used above macro except that I used getclipboard() function to get current link. Here is how it looks

split_screen{
menu=&Split screen
id(ID_COPY_LINK_LOCATION);
$split="javascript:{var message=\"<html> <frameset cols=\\"50%,*\\"> <frame src=\\"\"+location.href+\"\\"> <frame src=\\"\"" . getclipboard() . "\"\\"> </frameset></html>\";document.write(message);}";
open($split);
}

This is supposed to open current selected link in a split browser in the right side frame. But it gives me a bunch of errors.
