I am trying to redirect my users when they are installing my chrome extension.
this is the code given by google:
chrome.webstore.install(string url, function successCallback, function failureCallback)
But i cant get it to work, it installs the extension, but nothing happens afterwards.
This is what i just tryed:
onclick="chrome.webstore.install('https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/migmokkneocggfbfkklboandoijmbnmn',successCallback(e){alert('bitch');};"
Can you please help me? i have searched for hours now.
Add code like this in your background file:
if(!localStorage.first){
chrome.tabs.create({
url : "http://whatever.com/welcome.html"
});
localStorage.first = "true";
}
from redirect to page.html after chrome extension installs
I just ran into this. For some reason, that signature doesn't accept function references. So you'll have to make a call like:
chrome.webstore.install(
'webstore-path',
function() {
console.log('w00t');
}
);
instead of
chrome.webstore.install('webstore-path', callbackRef);
Hope that helps!

I am working on a chrome extension project, but cannot get host equals to work so it covers everywhere the user goes past the domain. For an example so if the user went to https://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en To have the code execute again there. Is this possible to do in the background.js file? I dont think match patterns will work here. The below code executes properly if set to an exact url chrome.history.deleteUrl({ url: 'www.google.com'} but not if I try to set it to hostEquals. I dont think this function allows hostEquals. Thank you for any help.
background.js file-
'use strict';
chrome.webNavigation.onCompleted.addListener(function() {
}, {url: [{urlMatches : 'www.google.com'}]});
var callback = function () {
alert("History is clearing");
};
chrome.history.deleteUrl(
{ url: [{hostEquals: 'www.google.com'}]}
, callback);
Is there a way I can past hostEquals in as a variable? HostEquals also does not work for chrome.browsingData.remove()
Please don't invent nonexistent properties: as the documentation says deleteUrl has only url property, which is "The URL to remove", not a pattern. If you want to remove all URLs from a domain then first find them using chrome.history.search. See also demo extensions.
A better solution might be to use details.url provided to onCompleted callback as you can see in the documentation. See also the demo extensions and look for more examples yourself.
chrome.webNavigation.onCompleted.addListener(details => {
chrome.history.deleteUrl({url: details.url});
}, {url: [{hostEquals: 'www.google.com'}]});
Another problem in your code was that urlMatches is the wrong tool because it's a regular expression that can match https://foo/bar/www1google2com in irrelevant URLs.
P.S. consider using onCommitted instead of onCompleted to perform the check earlier.
I would like to write a simple script to open a Website and call a function that is part of a linked .js-file.
To be more precise, I want to open a SharePoint, invoke the function that is used to open the folder in windows explorer and close the website again.
For some reason, I may not open the folder directly in explorer unless I had it done this way at least once during the active windows session...
How may I do this?
So far, I tried the following:
var IE = new ActiveXObject("InternetExplorer.Application");
var WSH = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
IE.visible = true;
IE.navigate("https://mysharepoint.com/Folder");
WSH.PopUp("Click to fire function");
//the following line throws an error, because the function is unknown...
IE.Document.defaultView.setTimeout(NavigateHttpFolder, 0, "https://mysharepoint.com/Folder", "_blank");
//the following line does not throw an error, but nothing happens either..
IE.Document.defaultView.setTimeout(function(){NavigateHttpFolder("https://mysharepoint.com/Folder", "_blank");}, 0);
However, when I open my Sharepoint and type the following line into the addressbar it does exactly what I want to achieve and it opens the folder...
javascript:NavigateHttpFolder("https://mysharepoint.com/Folder", "_blank");
Could you please help me? I simply cannot find a way to get this to work.
UPDATE: Now it worked suddenly! I tried it the following way before but it didn't do anything until now (???)...
IE.Navigate('javascript:NavigateHttpFolder("https://mysharepoint.com/Folder", "_blank");');
You can include script with path to external website
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.external.com/script.js"></script>
I am trying to make a call to a meteor method, to insert a document before redirecting the user to the relevant url (using the generated document _id).
The code currently works on chromium but not on firefox, where on firefox it appears to just get redirected right away without actually inserting anything.
I've attached my code at the bottom. Can anyone tell me what went wrong and what can I do to fix it? Why will chrome and firefox behave differently in this situation?
Any help provided is greatly appreciated!
client.js
newDoc(){
Meteor.call('addDoc',{
// some parameters
})
}
clientandserver.js (Meteor method)
'addDoc'(obj){
console.log(obj); // does not output anything on firefox
DocumentData.insert({
//some parameters
},function(err,documentID){
if (Meteor.isClient){
window.location = '/docs/' + documentID;
// redirection happens before insertion on firefox
}
});
}
Bring window.location to the client side. Like:
newDoc(){
Meteor.call('addDoc', data, function(error, result){
if(result){
window.location = '/docs/' + documentID;
}
})
}
And put only the insertion in server side, like:
'addDoc'(obj){
return DocumentData.insert({
//some parameters
});
}
I've used this structure and it works for me in both Firefox & Chrome.
I have an issue with Greasemonkey, it doesn't update my script automatically (probably because we don't want to add it to its UserScripts root, and it seems in this case it doesn't update it)...
anyway, I was adding a piece of code (main idea from here) to my script to check the script version inside the script and let user know if there is a new version available, and as if user wants to update it, if so it should open a new window/tab for script url (that it should trigger Greasemonkey to install it)... this is my senario, and it works perfect up to the point that it should open a new window/tab...
here you can see the function I'm using:
function checkForUpdate(in_vid){
var plugin_url = 'https://MyWebSiteURL/MonaTest.user.js?'+new Date().getTime();
if ((parseInt(GM_getValue('SUC_last_update', '0')) + 86400000 <= (new Date().getTime()))){
try {
GM_xmlhttpRequest( {
method: 'GET',
url: plugin_url,
headers: {'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'},
onload: function(resp){
var local_version, remote_version, rt, script_name;
rt=resp.responseText;
GM_setValue('SUC_last_update', new Date().getTime()+'');
remote_version = parseFloat(/#version\s*(.*?)\s*$/m.exec(rt)[1]);
local_version = parseFloat(GM_getValue('SUC_current_version', '-1'));
if(local_version!=-1){
script_name = (/#name\s*(.*?)\s*$/m.exec(rt))[1];
GM_setValue('SUC_target_script_name', script_name);
if (remote_version > local_version){
if(confirm('There is an update available for the Greasemonkey script "'+script_name+'."\nWould you like to install it now?')){
-------> GM_openInTab(plugin_url);
//window.open(plugin_url,'_blank')
//location.assign(plugin_url);
GM_setValue('SUC_current_version', remote_version);
}
}
else{
GM_log('No update is available for "'+script_name+'"');
}
}
else{
GM_setValue('SUC_current_version', remote_version+'');
}
}
});
}
catch (err){
GM_log('An error occurred while checking for updates:\n'+err);
}
}
}
I tried to use GM_openInTab, but it returns this error in the console:
Timestamp: 9/27/12 9:55:33 AM
Error: ReferenceError: GM_openInTab is not defined
Source File: file:///Users/Mona/Library/Application%20Support/Firefox/Profiles/tonwb5lg.default/gm_scripts/MonaTest/MonaTest.user.js
Line: 97
I couldn't find any reference to indicate that GM_openInTab doesn't support anymore!
I tried other solutions, using window.open and location.assign... both of them doesn't work because they shows the script source codes without triggering Greasemonkey to install it...
I don't know if there is a way to update script using this method...
I would appreciate if you share your knowledge and help me with my problem.
Thanks for your time!
P.S. My firefox version is 15.0.1, Greasemonkey version is 1.1
don't forget to #grant.
correct me if im wrong, but your script does not end with js.
var plugin_url = 'https://MyWebSiteURL/MonaTest.user.js?'+new Date().getTime();
try forcing the .js extension.
when i added the date to my script, GM stopped installing it.
remove the date at the end and give it a try.
one last thing: you're basing your script on a script from 2009. take a look at a new one, like this from 2011.
Is there anyway by adding to this javascript I can ingore anything after the .com/ .net/ .org/ etc for tab.url.
So if tab.url = examplesite.com/blabla/blabla.html it will replace tab.url with examplesite.com/ and ignore anything after it.
Here's my background.html script.
<script type="text/javascript">
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
chrome.tabs.getSelected(null,function(tab) {
chrome.tabs.create( { url: "http://www.mysite.com/index.php?q=" +tab.url } );
});
});
</script>
Or do I need to program this into mysite to strip the Url? I was wondering if it is possible with Javascript... (not my forte.)
Thank you for any help you may be able to give me.
Unfortunately there is not parseUri function built into javascript but you could build what you're asking for using regular expressions. An example of this can be found here:
http://blog.stevenlevithan.com/archives/parseuri
Also, I've never tried to access it from a Chrome extension, but I suspect you have access to the window.location variable which is an object that contains broken down parts of the current page's url. Trying console.log(window.location) and look at the content of the object.
