So, I've downloaded the Aggreg8.jar file. Now how do it use it with KM's chrome?

I like rss feeds, use the <The DevEdge RSS-News Ticker Toolbar> in Mozilla 1.5. Designed for Netscape 7.1 but works ok in Mozilla. Would love to have similar functionality in KM!

Put the jar in /chrome and edit installed-chrome.txt, adding these lines:

content,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/aggreg8.jar!/content//
locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/aggreg8.jar!/locale/en-US//
skin,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/aggreg8.jar!/skin//

Make sure to leave an extra (blank) space at the very bottom of the file.

Start up KM and navigate to:

chrome://aggreg8/content/aggreg8.xul

You should get the main Aggre8 window.

Monkeesage,

OK. I put aggre8.jar in chrome and edited installed-chrome.txt.

But I don't see chrome://aggreg8/content/aggreg8.xul

Should I extract aggreg8.jar using something like WinZip?

ndebord:

That's odd. You shouldn't need to extract the jar file.

Try this one:

http://www.aggreg8.net/Download/aggreg8.jar

If that still doesn't work, try deleting the chrome.rdf file and the overlayinfo subfolder (they will be rebuilt next time you start KM). And if that still doesn't work, try deleting profiles/default/********.slt/XUL.mfl. And if that doesn't work, I'm fresh out of ideas!

Hope it works.

Monkeesage,

Tried deleting chrome.rdf and overlayinfo subfolder to no avail.

I see no.xul.mfl file anywhere in the profiels folders?

i tried it and it worked fine for me.

did you put the jar file in the program files/k-meleon/chrome folder and edit the installed-chrome.txt file in that folder?

nice job mokeesage. i've been waiting for something this cool to be implemented in k-meleon.

thanks

ndebord:

Make sure there are no blank lines before the three lines that I said to add to installed-chrome.txt and that there is one blank line following them. that's the only other thing I can think of.

Andrew was the one who figured out it worked with KM, props to our resident documenter and site maintainer for this little gem.

Monkeesage,

I must be dense. I get this error message:

<<file/content/chrome:/aggreg8.xul can't be found. Please check the location and try again.>>

Copy this in the urlbar:

chrome://aggreg8/content/aggreg8.xul

ndebord,
this is what i did to create an aggreg8 button.
its easier than typing the address in the url window every time.
in macros:
aggreg8 {
$site="chrome://aggreg8/content/aggreg8.xul"
open($site)
}
in toolbars:
Aggreg8 bar button(45,32) {
aggreg8 {
macros(aggreg8)
aggreg8
aggreg8.bmp
aggreg8.bmp
aggreg8.bmp
}
}

aggreg8.bmp

the above is supposed to link the file name "aggreg8.bmp" to a site where you can copy it. at least according to what i read in "message format tags". if it doesn't work you can always make your own button.

ndebord:

Where I said to add these lines...

content,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/aggreg8.jar!/content//
locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/aggreg8.jar!/locale/en-US//
skin,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/aggreg8.jar!/skin//

...it should actually be:

content,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/aggreg8.jar!/content/
locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/aggreg8.jar!/locale/en-US/
skin,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/aggreg8.jar!/skin/

Let me know if it works for you with this change.
