Hey all,

I got bored again, and I've made a basic Internet Explorer MsgPlus! Toolbar to which I will add more features if people like it.

EDIT Again:

Updated zip file to latest version, features:

You can search the forum.
Navigate to:

• Forum Latest Posts
  
• Login Page
  
• Forum Home
  
• Msgplus.net

Sounds great!

* KeyStorm waits the XUL coded Firefox verison soon

Lol,

* Hah heads for the firebox toolbar development page

Can't promise anything, I think I looked b4 and I didnt have a single clue but you never know.

Tah,

Hah

Edit:

Included screenshot of my internet explorer:

looks nice Hah , gonna try it now

Edit: please bring it to Firefox too

Dude! This is awesome! I have always wanted something like this! I love it! AWESOME WORK .... Keep it up! Add a few more butttons I love it!

[offtopic]
I have Windows 98 SE so I can assure you that this works!

Hah, it would be better if you changed the setup.zip in your first post to the latest one, would be easier for people to download it .

can we see a screenshot of the new version??

Great work Hah, love it

Yes, here is a screenie of the current version...

Hah, could you make the shoutbox button open a new window like when you normally click the shoutbox link?

Can we have the ability to change the site?? Like switch from msgplus to my own and someone else etc?? Like a favourites list?? That would be a good feature

The plugin/thingy is made for messenger plus forums. Not any other site.

ok, well, is it possible though??

This is how it would work:

a) During install, it would ask for a name for the toolbar. This will be the name at the start of the toolbar.
b) next it would ask for the root directory eg: http://www.site.com/Forum/
c) next it would ask if you want to add any more, selecting yes will bring up the prevous two steps
d) It will finilise everthign and it do all the other things needed.
e) To change site, from a drop down menu on the right of the toolbar, select the name of the site (which is made during install) and click {Change...}, then it will ask you to close and reopen Ie for the setting to take effect. When it does, the new toolbar for the site is ready.

I think its posible If it is can you make it please??

Also, to go even futher, the ability to customise where the links are and to upload you own image

Good Job Hah.  I dunno if theres a way, but if you can set the background to the bluebar in the QuickReply Box that'd be kool.

yeah, I am. Firefox is cool.

Edit: Thanks for the update by the way Hah. Ill install the new one now Can't wait for the one where you can choose sites Will I be credited for the idea??

Just finished the first version of my extension. You can get it here: http://surfionline.com/firefox/msgplustoolbar/

Let me know if you have any issues

How do I install?? Can you put the directory of where ut the file on your site please??

I assume you're talking to chris:

Just download and run the file, then restart FF. Once it's open again, go to View > Toolbars, and it should be there.

I can't run it, when I double click it says: Windows can't find this file, choose a program to open with. :/

i just started using firefox as a secondary browser.

Ok, try opening Tools > Extensions and drag and drop the xpi file there.

Awesome. Now running. Much better design then the IE one, sorry Hah.

Lets see who can make the mutliple site idea come to life first.....

I dont think i'm going to do that, but i am going to make a toolbar for several sites, possibly and maybe some sort of interface into MyBB or something..

This was pretty much an experiment to see if i could actually use XUL and everything.

looks good Surfi . Could you make it possible that when you click on a button with your middle mouse button, it opens in a new tab?

Possibly, i don't use a three button mouse so i wouldnt be able to test it

For the IE bar..,

I would be good if the bar remembered the ..say... last 10 search terms.

And also, if when it's on XP the buttons are like rounded (3D, like the standard buttons)

I like the bar anywayz, it's cool

ha

...........love the surfionline option

Surfi, i'm loving your bar, I used too love IE, but I switched to Firefox, and when i saw that it was only for IE my heart leapt, then I read your post, You're a life saver.

I think this is a really good extension, and i'm going too use it a lot, so thanks Surfi, keep up the good work!

i know this is an old thread but i just got firefox after hearing about how good the 1.0PR version is only to find out that it doesnt work with this version
is there any chance of making a new toolbar that does work with it
ill be ever so grateful

The link to surfi's bar doesn't work, and i've just had to delete everything in a system restore, and i really want the bar
