[jQuery] jQuery extension for Firefox
Hey all!
I'm currently in the review process for an extension which basically puts
jQuery on EVERY page. I did it after reading something on learningjquery
which uses a bookmarklet.
I'm pretty sure that there will be issues surrounding it (GMail had a weird,
long button when I put jquery on my inbox), but it's more for developers
right now anyway. Maybe future things would something like a blacklist,
where sites you don't want adding will be excluded. Alternately, sites you
want to add could be whitelisted.
Anyway, it's just something which could be useful. I'm not sure if anyone
will use it.
In further news, after a long and interesting discussion with the owner of
geekgrl.net, we have decided to join together to write a
'Wordpress-compatible jQuery plugin library' plugin. We're basically going
to go through a lot of plugins and check their general compatibility with
Prototype, as of v2.1 Wordpress, will be forcing Prototype on its users.
Initial tests on the SVN show that it won't matter too though, but the idea
of extending jQuery through an easy to use Wordpress plugin is too good to
wave off.
We've had some ideas on what to do:
* Create a repository which gets a list of all available compatible plugins
for the user. If they're on a Windows server, they'll be pointed to a page
to download the file. If it's a Linux server, it should be able to be
uploaded automatically without any fuss.
* Wrap the extensions in their own zipped format initially (like XPIs), so
the user doesn't have to deal with which file goes where. We'll do the job
of unzipping and placing the file/s in the right location.
Any helpful suggestions, or ideas are more than welcome!
Cheers,
Dan
