Hi! Can someone help me with a problem that I have? The problem I have is that I'm working on a mailbar for K-M and I can't figure out why i'ts not working. Everything is finished but it still not working so here is how it looks in the toolbar cfg:

%ifplugin macros

Can someone please help me?
Oh I should say that I have two different bar.bmps to work with. If this can be of any help.
Yours: Rapido

I could be wrong , but it looks like you have an unmatched left curly bracket.

Mail and News{ <-------------------<<<

I suppose it doesn't work when right clicking, and the menu doesn't appear ??

In this cas it just came from a difference between the content in toolbars and the name of the menu:

for exemple 'Mail and News' is not the same as 'Mail and news' or '&Mail and News'

I think the error is here ...Verify it ...

A+

Hi! I can't make it work anyway I try. I've don all the advices I got so far. So could someone please take toolbar cfg above and try to help me solve this problem before I loose my mind. If I use the phoenity theme the toolbar inside with the mail cfg works fine but when I use mine in a different theme it don't work. Can someone figure this out why it's like that please? It seems that there is something funny going on here or if it's not someones trying to fool me.

Yours: Rapido

P.S. I use the first mailpart in phoenity theme in my toolbar cfg and it won't work.

D.S.

Hi! Again here is a toolbar cfg that's almost works for mail but it's connected to the searchbar that I have so can someone solve this problem? And give me a separate bar I will be happy. Oh I almost forgot that there is a issue with the Create Mail button in this one and that is also something I want to be solved as well please.

@Rapido,

A bar is defined as it

BarName {
....
}

and in a bar we can put buttons like this:

BarName { < to open the bar def

Button1 { < to open the button def
} <to close the button def

Button2 { < to open the button def
} <to close the button def

} <to close the bar def


ok ?

Here is the bar corrected:

Hi! Thanks Al your great and many thanks again for your corrected bar.

Yours: Rapido

Hi! Again I'm sorry to say that the corrected bar doesn't work for me so I don't know what to say but a nice try anyway.

Yours: Rapido

@Rapido

Explain exactly what doesn't work.....

Right-click menu ?
An entry of the menu ??

What ?

A+

Hi! Okay I will try to tell you what doesn't work. The browser don't start at all so there must be something wrong with the whole mailbar. Perhaps I need to include some macros in the macros cfg or maybe it something I have done wrong with the toolbar it self. What more can I say really. Does it work for you Al? If it does tell me how you got it to work please. What I need to know is if someone has tried it out and got it to work. That would be nice to know. So what I'm saying is that I can't get it to work at all for me.

Yours: Rapido

@Rapido,

Well there were some errors:

1) on all the dead bmp lines you have [) instead of []
2) The %endif which is commented is needed
3) There were a %ifplugin macros line not needed
4) There were a } not needed and misplaced (if I remember)

K-Meleon doesn't appreciate and crash (a kind of boucle and I had more than one k-meleon in tasklist.

Here is the working version:

Thanks Al. I hope this will work.

Yours: Rapido

Hi! Okay this works but now I have two small problems left. 1. How can you separate search and mail so that mail becomes a separate bar? 2. When your pointer is on get mail button there is no text visible. How fix so that the text becomes visible? Can someone please help me with that? This is what I want to know.

Yours: Rapido

@Rapido

1) To separate

----------------------------
# searchdead.bmp[11]
# }

%endif

} <<< to close the search bar

Mail { <<< give the bar name

Mail{
%ifplugin macros

------------------------------

To have tooltip:

Mail{
%ifplugin macros
macros(Mail)|Mail and News
Open mail client, Right-Click for more options <<< Here is the Tooltip
%else
ID_NAV_MAIL
macros(OpenMailclient, Read Mail) << Problem if no macro plugin, you can't have this
Open mail client
%endif
Open Mailclient, Read Mail << What is this ??
MailBarHot.bmp[16]
MailBarCold.bmp[16]
MailBarDead.bmp[16]
}

....

A+

Hi! well Alain I'm doing my best but as you can see me and toolbars aren't best friends. Now you know why I'm needing help with this problems I'm not to good with making toolbars. I'm better with thememaking than making toolbars but I'm willing to learn by the best creaters there is. now about problem two the get mail button text is that solved to? well I'm checking your solution first and get back later.

Yours: Rapido

Hi! Thanks for fixing the mailbar for me Al. The text is still missing when you pointing at the get mail button and that is the only thing that is not working now . I hope that there is a way to solve this as well.

Yours: Rapido

@rapido

Only on mail button ?? Not on search button ??

Give again the part of toolbars.cfg

Hi! I have disabled the create new mail button for now but here is the toolbar:

As I told you there is no text when pointer is on top of create new mail button and I don't know why. Maybe someone can figure that out.

Yours: Rapido

@Rapido,

Here is a part of my toolbars:

Courrier {
macros(Mail)|Courrier << macro for left button, and Menu entry for right button
Lire les mails. Clic-Droit pour plus d'options. << Tooltip
toolhot.bmp[13] << Button hot
toolcold.bmp[13] << Button cold
}

Outils {
macros(Km_Notes)|Outils e&xternes
Bloc-Note K-Meleon. Clic-Droit pour plus d'outils.
pad.bmp[0]
pad.bmp[0]
pad.bmp[0] << button dead
}

Here is a part of yours:

Mail{
%ifplugin macros
macros(Mail)|Mail and News
Open mail client, Right-Click for more options
%else
ID_NAV_MAIL
Open mail client << a tooltip perhaps works here
%endif
MailBarHot.bmp[16]
MailBarCold.bmp[16]
MailBarDead.bmp[16]
}
-

EmailURL,Send Page As Link{ << I'm not sure a comma is a good idea in a button title

this is perhaps better:

Send Page As Link{

for the rest, I think it's ok

A+

Hi! Alain how about the create new mail button is that okay or what because it's not showing text when you mark it with your pointer and it's not working. Perhaps that button needs an extra macro or something. What do you think?

Yours: Rapido

@Rapido,

I've tried your toolbar.

If your button doesn't give tootip, it' can be because the macro pointed by doesn't exist (error in the name for exemple)

I had during my test the problem with Create a mail which points to 'Mail Client' which doesn't exist for me.

The secont problem was due to the fact I had paste it wirhout taking attention and trhe first button doesn't display tooltip.

In fact, it was due to a } missing (the search bar was not closed). To verify it, look at the Dispaly < Toolbars menu, to see if all your bars are present in the list.

A+

Good year to all, and to K-Meleon, obviously )
