Browser Bar for mouseHole
.mouseHole folder to add a browser bar at the top of every page your view with mouseHole; like this…
def rewrite(page)
document.search('//a[@href]') do |link|
href = URI(link.attributes['href']) rescue nil
next unless href && href.host && href.host != page.location.host
link.after '<span style="font-size:8px">[' + href.host + ']</span>'
end
#add the following line
document.search("body").prepend("<a href=\"http://del.icio.us/jowensbysandifer\">"
+"<img src=\"http://127.0.0.1:3704/doorway/static/images/delicious.gif\" />"
+"</a>")
#just include your links to your favorite sites and you can check them...
# no matter where you are
end
Oh and don’t forget to place any icons in the static/images folder in your mouseHole application.
-Teehe! And if I knew how to get the url to the script, I could submit sites to del.icio.us (or whatever site I wanted) via javascript… but that might be dangerous!-
UPDATE:
Here’s how to submit a site to del.icio.us via the browser bar by getting the page url.
Step 1: save the request in proxyhandler.rb as $request. A global… bad I know :-(
I’m still figuring out how mouseHole works. Maybe the best thing to do would be to write the value out to the database?
Step 2: add submit html to a user script or create a new one (I call mine browserbar.rb), like this…
document.search("body").prepend("<a href=\"http://del.icio.us/jowensbysandifer?url="
+ $request.to_s + "&submit=save&jump=no\">"
+" <img src=\"http://127.0.0.1:3704/doorway/static/images/delicious.gif\" /></a>")
Step 3: Restart mouseHole.
Install mouseHole on Ubuntu 1
rewrite the web as you view it, altering content and behavior as you browse. Basically, it’s an alternative to Greasemonkey, which does similar things from inside the Firefox web browser.
To get mouseHole up and running, first install the required gems (json and sqlite3) if you don’t already have them installed. I encountered the following issues while installing those gems…
- Installing json
lib/json/editor.rb:977:50: ’:’ not followed by identified or operator
The solution is to remove the colon from line 977.
Installing sqlite3
The command for installing the sqlite3 gem is gem install sqlite3-ruby and not gem install sqlite3.Lastly, if you are running Debian or Ubuntu, visit http://localhost:3704 instead of http://127.0.0.1:3704 after starting mouseHole.
