Vlansix Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Hi all, Just wrote a quick extension to make my life easier while moderating the Games DB, and figured some people might find it handy. Allows you to highlight text and click the icon to search the games database. It's not fancy, doesn't have any bells and whistles and may have bugs (although I'd be surprised, as it's about six lines of code long), but lemme know if it does anything wonky.

SentaiBrad Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Sweet! Thanks for the add-on, that's really awesome. Now here's to hoping for a Firefox version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlansix Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Heya Brad, Lemme see if I can't throw some love at the Firefox peoples. I'll have some coffee and duct tape/WD-40 it into firefox somehow. edit: Just looked into it and Firefox *should* support it as-is. I'll just upload it to mozilla's servers, test it out a bit and be right back :P. Edited October 17, 2016 by Vlansix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebion Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Thanks for this awesome addon. I have one issue with it though. It always opens a new windows instead of opening a new tab. That's a bit annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlansix Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 @Cebion - Thanks for the feedback :). I just threw this together pretty quickly. I'll have a look at it a bit later and fix that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Orko Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 works excellent, but I have the same request. use a new tab instead of a new window and it will work perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlansix Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Rightyo. I'll get this fixed sometime tonight, once I'm done with the database stuff. Really just consists of changing chrome.windows.create to chrome.tabs.create and getting the manifest to request permissions to use tabs. If anyone is impatient, just change that in the LGDSbackgroundpage.js (and manifest.json), and it should use tabs instead. Otherwise, it'll take a day or so for the mozilla/chrome people to approve the changes :). I'll advise once it's online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
