make sure you have >>923

>>924
I haven't done much work on it, no. Hopefully I will find some time to work on it. If you tell me the main bugs that are making it unusable then I'll at least try and fix those.

Thank you, I spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out if something was wrong on my end.

I had the problem expanding images. So updated, but it didn't work. Used Mule's fix, somewhat works but I get no boards in the context menus. So I'm forced to go to options in the add-on and attempt to hit 'reload', sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. Most of the time I get this pop up error in firefox when I hit 'apply'

TypeError: layoutdocument has no properties

But when I do get the boards back, and close firefox and open it back up again, the boards disappears.
tl;dr
Shits broke for me.

936 here, It seems the tool, takes awhile for it to grab the boards so not sure what exactly is up with that.

The extention isn't working at all for me.  No thread expansion, no image expansion... makes me a very sad panda.  And I'm using Mule's fix.  I was getting loads of

TypeError: layoutdocument has no properties

until recently when the Apply button just didn't do anything.

so no proper fixes out yet. man this is some sad sh!t :(

The extension is down because the server the board data is hosted on is being moved to another physical location. It should eventually load (after about a minute) the locally cached data and things should work.

beta bug:

If you close firefox with the downloads window still open and then restart the main window the extension produces a shitload of errors

Sadly, 4chan.wrathfilledhate.net is still refusing connections on port 80.

Could you describe in detail exactly how to reproduce the error using the version of the extension and of firefox you're using?

Somehow the image expanding is broken again, in everything that's not /b/. And http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/ is working correctly, too.
And since >>938 and >>936 said something about Mule's fix not working, I will wait until DamageInc provides us the fix.

by the way this is a useless post

>>945

936 here, It's exactly like what 938 said.

I'm not even sure how to reproduce it because now I see the boards almost instantly and going to 'options' and hitting 'apply', seems to work normally now.

Yesterday, I noticed I only get
'TypeError: layoutdocument has no properties' if the boards aren't loaded, and when I go to options>menu and hitting apply would result in a pop-up of that error.

But now it seems fine, since I now see a list of the boards in 'options>menu'.

Opps forgot to add, the tools link in options (options>about) doesn't work.

My fix works. It's too simple not to. What they're talking about is an unrelated issue involving DamageInc's servers.

To fix it yourself:
1) Download the current official version.
2) Unzip 4chan.v0.4.5.6.xpi (xpi=zip).
3) Go to the chrome directory, and unzip 4chan.jar (jar=zip).
4) Open chrome/content/4chan/4chanLib.js in a simple text editor, and after line 3018 (Ctrl-G in notepad I think), add the following line of code.

FullImageUrl = FullImageUrl.replace( /cb-ws\//, "" );

Notice that it is nearly identical to the preceding one, and that it matches part of the url where thumbnails are now stored. What it does is convert thumbnail urls for the work safe boards to urls for the full image.
5) Update 4chan.jar with the new 4chanLib.js. One way to do this is with the following command
zip -f 4chan.jar
6) Create a new xpi file for your fixed extension. This is just a zip file with extension .xpi containing the following:
- install.rdf
- components/
- chrome/4chan.jar
You can create it with something like:
zip -r 4chan.v0.4.5.6.MYSUPERSPECIALVERSION.xpi install.rdf components/ chrome/4chan.jar
7) In Firefox, File->Open File
and open 4chan.v0.4.5.6.MYSUPERSPECIALVERSION.xpi.
8) Install the extension as normal.
9) ???
10) Profit.

The site seems to be back up now, thought I wouldn't be surprised if it goes on and off and they fix/break it.

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/menu/4chan.v0.4.5.7.xpi

Hopefully this will be the last of the image url changes.

I also can't get this config window error. It could have had something to do with the site being down and opening the config window before the board data has been loaded.

How long until I can just use the update feature in Firefoxes "Add-ons"

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/menu/4chan.v0.4.5.7.xpi
returns a blank page when I follow the url.

Working here through Firefox updater, thanks.

it seems to do that for me, oddly. just paste the link into a new tab and it should work. I don't know why find updates is not working for you, it should do. What firefox version are you using?

Name: Anonymous 2008-02-09 16:59

the extension got an update today! it's a good thing, too, because the images wouldn't open within the threads anymore. i had to open them in different windows like some kind of caveman

Having trouble opening pictures inside a thread with the 4chan firefox extension. Funny thing is, it only seems to be a problem in SFW boards. /b/, /gif/, etc. all work fine, it's just the SFW boards.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and the extension a couple times now with no luck. I've cleared my registry of firefox and all remnant firefox files off the computer only to reinstall to no avail.

I have both the latest version of Firefox and the Extension.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem?

Having same problem, figure it has something to do with file name changes from src.cgi to src/cb-ws. Just a guess.
