Nice work! Really great for saving post snipperts etc.

HTML? In the useragent?

This is a really great tool for capturing info on the fly. There is almost no overhead involved in saving information. I look forward to being able to control the way data is shown in my "manage citations" page, such as turning off the URL (because it takes up so much page space.

Awesome work. Simple. Effective. A joy (and great benefit) to use.

John, I see your point. As soon as I can I will change the way citations are presented. I was thinking to a grid/tree widget instead of a Web page.

This sounds like a cool ext. but I can't get it to work. When I try to save citation nothing comes up most of the time or a plain white window does. Under options in extensions a very little window bar comes up that I cannot do anything with.

Thank you for this fantastic extension! Just one thing: Is there a possibility to backup my collected citations? In case I buy a new PC or reinstall my system I want to use further my collected citations. I guess the citations are saved in the file 'citedb.rdf'? So do I have just to backup this file and after the reinstall of the system (W2K, firefox, extensions and so on) I replace the 'empty' file 'citedb.rdf' by my backup file? Or do I have to backup more files? Thank you.

seba, go in your personal user folder

for instance in my machine
C:\Documents and Settings\davide\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\5thzkwww.slt

and make a copy of your citedb.rdf

Hi,

I'm looking for a code snippet to get the actual URL from Mozilla Firebird with Visual Basic (preferable) or with C. Alternatively it would help to get a solution or a workaround with e.g. a special JavaScript (or another in Firefox executable script or batch), which puts the URL in the clipboard where I can get it.
Can you help me? That would be great!

Best greetings

Scouty, this forum is only to discuss "citations" issues and not Mozilla programming in general. Please, post your question to other forums. Moreover, you can simply download the source of my extension and seek the function you need.

Sorry for this offtopping subject, just because I didn't find anything at the web answering my question.
The other thing is that I've problems with this way of showing the source code, I'm not used to open source programming.

Great tool and it works fine!
(By the way: if I start the "options"-dialog of the citation extension, there is coming a very little firefox window with nothing to do - but, as I have said: citations works).

But like John in [3] I want to change the layout of the manage table (gray and green is bad to read). Any help? Thank you!!!

This is because I have not yet implemented a config tool for citations.

> I want to change the layout of the manage table (gray > and green is bad to read)

In citations.jar (see your local chrome directory) you should modify the file citedbview2.html which contains a small css definition.

Hello Davide,
wow - this was a very quick answer! Thank you!
I found the citations.jar and then 2 subdirs "content" and "cvs" - in the content subdir I found the citedbview2.html and in this file the css lines. I changed this lines with a texteditor and started Firefox new - but no effect (the extension works fine again, but no change of colors).
So I uninstalled the extension and made a fresh install - but no effect again.

hello, I had in mind the old Mozilla chrome tree in which one can simply copy a new jar, restart and go! In fact, I noticed in Firefox a different chrome directory structure. At all events, I uninstalled the citations from the extension manager windows, and restarted Firefox. Then I loaded a new version of the xpi containing new colors in Firefox and currently I have yellow instead of green. Let me know how to provide you the new xpi and I'll send it to you.

[18] Submitted by: Herbert on Sunday 2nd January 2005 at 09:20 -0500

Davide, thank you again!
With your hints I found the way to unzip the files, make the changes and packed it to new .jar und .xpi - so it works now fine!
I use for good readiability this colors:
tr.odd {background-color: #FFFFDB}
tr.even {background-color: white}
tr.columns {background-color: #FFFF99}

It's a really helpfull extension! Maybe you'll develop a configuration tool for the output. To change the colors could be one thing. An other idea could be, to make additonal output formats, if some wishes to copy and past the whole text per example in a word document. (With table structure he has to copy each single cell.)

But this is a matter of your free time - I thank you again for your very kind and quick response!!!

Greetings from Germany and a Happy New Year!

This looks like a useful extension. Can I make a few suggestions?

* Would be nice if the CSS was accessible rather than hidden inside a jar -- or put your defaults there but allow customising via a user css file.

* When viewing a stored citation in-place on the webpage, the citation bar seems to stop the page title being displayed by in Firefox's title bar. A way to close the citation bar would be good, as would if it disappeared when clicking through to a different page.

* Please grey out the Options button until such time as it is implemented! I didn't even see the tiny window, I thought it had crashed the EM...

Cheers,
Jamm!n

Your browser signature is strange. What browser do you use? Current Citations works only on Firefox 1.0+ with JSLib pre-installed. It should work, but I've not tested yet, on Mozilla 1.7+ and Netscape 7.2+. It does not work on Internet Explorer, Opera, and other non-gecko browsers.
