Subscribe as a page action

**rock_galore** · 06-09-2009, 07:55 AM

Hi,
because in my oppinion it makes much more sense i redesigned the subscribe extension provided by google (http://dev.chromium.org/developers/d...nsions/samples) to work as a page action.
It`s just a quick hack, but this kind of extension shouldn`t take place in the bottom bar.
Even though page actions are not ready and not yet documented, besides a proposal which can be found here: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/d...nsions/samples,
it works pretty well.

If you want to give it a try, you can find it here:
http://code.google.com/p/gtools-for-chrome/

Any suggestions are welcome.

Works for me also, great, thanks!

I'd like the link to the proposal. You provided a link to the sample extensions twice..
Otherwise, nice work.

I'm quite curious about those chrome.pageActions !

Oops, sorry. Here is the right link
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/d...ge-actions-api

It`s not that much so far, i just stumbled upon it while doing a loop through the chrome-object. Do this once in a while, sometimes you`ll notice interesting things. ;-)

I updated the extension to 0.1.4
It can handle multiple feeds on a page now by giving you a list of the found feeds to choose from.
If only one feed is found it opens up just like before.

Great addition, thanks
Only the choice of colors make it very hard to read the actual RSS feeds.
Could you reconsider this?

Thanks,
Luc VN

Colors are much better now! thanks...

Edit: Colors seem site dependent... sorry...

**rock_galore** · 06-12-2009, 06:15 AM

I wanted to make the colors customizable as soon as localstorage is implemented.
But the colors dont change but are fixed values.
Could you give me an example page and maybe screenshots?
