How to write X-notifier scripts.

Forums

FAQ

To make your own script, you should be able to handle javascript and regular expressions. When the login form of your webmail provider is like this,

<form action="https://logins.foo.com/login" method="post">
  <input name="user">
  <input name="passwd" type="password">
  <input name="key" value="abc=12" type="hidden">
  <input value="Login" type="submit">
</form>

the corresponding script is as below. Save below codes as 'mymail.js'(or other name that ends with '.js') And install it in X-notifier preferences.

var name="MyMail";
var ver="2010-06-08";
function init(){
  this.dataURL="http://welcome.foo.com";
  this.loginData=["https://logins.foo.com/login",
                      "user","passwd","key="+encodeURIComponent("abc=12")];
  this.viewURL="http://mail.foo.com";
}
function getCount(aData){ //aData is a html source in dataURL
  var fnd=aData.match(......); //find mail count
  if(fnd){
    var num;
    //get mail count here
    return num;
  }else{
    return -1;//display 'not checked' message
  }
}

name : the provider name that wiil be shown in X-notifier
dataURL : the url where you can get mail count
loginData : [ formSubmitURL, usernameField, passwordField, additionalData ]
- formSubmitURL : action url of the login form
- usernameField : input field name of username
- passwordField : input field name of password
- additionalData : other input fields data
viewURL : the url that will be opened when you click the icon or menuitem

[FF] Session Manager in X-notifier

Forums

FAQ

X-notifier has separate session manager in it to access accounts in background.

* When you disable 'Multiple login',
If you click account in XN, XN copy cookies to browser.

* When you enable 'Multiple login',
If you click default account in XN, XN copy cookies to browser.
If you click non-default account, XN make browser to use XN's session manager.
This will be displayed as a 'underline' in tab title.

You can change which session to use in tab menu(right click tab title).
'None' means not to use XN's session manager.

When you see wrong accounts while you use mails
If you enable 'Multiple login', browser uses XN's session manager.
When you open a link to new tab, the tab does not use XN's session manager by default.
That's why you logged in with default account .
To prevent this, enable 'Keep session for links' in Options.
