This is my first extension, Stumble-it!
It allows the user to submit the current page to StumbleUpon.

Extension:
http://download115.mediafire.com/zum...mble-it%21.crx
Source code:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/2z2yum...tumble-it!.rar

Now I know its a simple extension to make and all of you more experienced programmers are going to point and laugh and call me a newb. But it's a start, no?

I did however want to make it a bit more complex as described in the following pseudo-code.

Code:

if (not logged-in to StumbleUpon)
  go to StumbleUpon sign-in page
else
  submit page to StumbleUpon

However, I'm at a loss at how to do this.


Enjoy!

As for your " not logged in " requirement, you could check if you can access login cookies from the browser ( not sure if extensions have access to site specific cookies ),

Also, there might be a Stumble Upon API that allows you to verify that, not sure though.

I don`t think so. And i hope you couldn`t because it would be a major security risk, but i`ll give it a try. ;-)

What about checking the http response-code in an XHR? If your not logged in it should give you a 3xxx code.

If you want an advice i would definitely port this to a page action, cause it makes more sense than an extension. I don`t use stumbleupon, so i won`t use either of them, but a page action is the better way for things like this.

You have access to non-http only cookies or whatever (I forget if it's "non-" or not, cause I don't really know what it means), but only from a content script, and only while the user is on that site.
Just use contentWindow.document.cookie
