xau: maybe try to install them manually ? by installing them with firefox, and then copy the files that were added / changed. I remember the greasemonkey way of storing scripts is quite easy to understand…

I got greasemonkey to install on Prism .9, but how do I install scripts?

Dov, Try changing this (from the original rtm install.rdf file): <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>  <em:minVersion>2.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>3.0</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> To: <em:targetApplication> <Description>  <em:id>prism@developer.mozilla.org</em:id> <em:minVersion>0.1</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>1.0</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication>

I got around the last error, by removing the META-INF file, but now it says it’s not compatible with Prism 0.8. Is that the end of the line?

Thanks.

Sorry, I don’t know how to properly put code into the comment.

I’m trying to install the Remember the Milk plugin add-on for gmail into Prism. When using the following code, I get the error: Signing could not be verified.

tehmiller,
The only thing I can think of with regard to Greasemonkey scripts and keystrokes is try installing/defining the webapp with option of enabling navigation keys. The Prism team have future plans on enabling more Greasemonkey-like custom scripting support in the future, and they also want to make per/app css support a priority - so it makes sense that styling would work out of the box.

For now, you could always try working custom scripts into the webapp.js file included in the webapp bundle (http://wiki.mozilla.org/Prism/Scripting)

Wow that worked spectacularly badly.

I’d have to wholeheartedly agree, sorry ’bout that. Wordpress isn’t the greatest when it comes to handling “in-post” code…

Fixed it though!

It seems that addons that harvest keystrokes, such as Greasemonkey, won’t perform this function in Prism currently, I’ve managed to get Stylish and Greasemonkey installed and running with little problem on Prism 0.9 (running nightlies of xulrunner), but things like the Modified Gmail Macros scripts won’t work at all in Prism, even though page modification scripts work fine, anyone have any interesting tidbits on this?

Your posting on April 4th got me set.

I didn’t replace firefox however, I added a new entry on the latest install.rdf for Adblock Plus among the other entries for Flock, Sunbird, etc.

Ah HA! Caught with my pants down! I haven't been upgrading enough and it looks like I may have over looked updating this how to. Thanks for catching me! OK, if you're an extension, the way you tell whatever your being used in (be it Firefox, Thunderbird, Prism, etc) about what you're intended to be used with is by setting: <em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$djS7s"/> So, you need to look for that in the install.rdf between the first RDF tags for both extensions and change it to: <em:targetApplication RDF:resource="prism"/> Then under the second RDF section you'll see:  <RDF:Description RDF:about="rdf:#$djS7s" em:id="{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}" em:minVersion="0.8" em:maxVersion="2.0.0.*" /> </RDF:RDF> Which should be changed to:  <RDF:Description RDF:about="prism" em:id="prism@developer.mozilla.org" em:minVersion="0.1" em:maxVersion="10.0" /> </RDF:Description> Hope that helps! Guess I'll have to update the post soon...

Unless I am missing something very obvious, none of these tricks seem to be working with Prism v0.9

I can’t seem to get Better GCal or Better Gmail 2 to load correctly. Any hints/ideas?

Thanks so much.

Thanks for the tip hleen, you can also do something similar for webrunner and prism for the about:config page or any chrome element you know the chrome address for:

“PATH\TO\WEBRUNNER\webrunner.exe” -uri about:config

“PATH\TO\PRISM\prism.exe” -uri about:config

Or use this command-line:
“prism.exe” -uri “chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul”

Hey, thanks for the info, i got adblock to work in prism (not adblock plus) with the filterset.g updater.

its actually pretty simple to expose the plugin/theme/extension interface within prism, you can do this by opening the DOM inspector, then in the address bar go to this URI:

chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul

Hmm…

I’ve had problems doing this with some extensions. After experimenting with the Greasemonkey extension a bit I found this works:
Replace:


        {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}
        1.5
        2.0.0.*

with:

      -- WebRunner -->

        webrunner@developer.mozilla.org
        0.1
        10.0

I’m not sure what the problem was, but I just can’t think that it was the commented “WebRunner” that fixed it. I’ll do some more experimenting and if I find what exactly the problem was I’ll edit the post. Till then, if anyone has a problem with the instructions in the post, just use the above code as the replacement…

Has anyone gotten GreaseMonkey to work using the tips in this post?
