cutting this over from irc:irc.mozilla.org/ubiquity
Hi folks. I need some ubiquity/moz clues: is there an easy way to wire things up so that Ubiquity can access the state of another running Firefox extension? Specifically I want to make a Ubiquity view into the http://www.w3.org/2005/ajar/tab (and we can make changes to tabulator to facilitate this if needed, i'm sure). I guess this would involve the extension exposing an XP-COM API? Something along the lines of https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_Build_an_XPCOM_Component_in_Javascript Context: the tabulator extension will scoop up and aggregate all kinds of interesting data as you wander around the Web. And it has its own HTML UI. But I'd like also to make a commandline Ubiquity view into the data it collects. Since this is all in-memory in .js, a Ubiquity script would need some API into the state of the running extension. From all I know about Moz, XPCOM is the only way to do this. Am I right in thinking that Ubiquity scripts all still have Chrome privileges and could therefore call any XPCOM API we expose? thanks for any pointers, cheers, Dan ps. nearby in the Web - http://code.google.com/p/rdfquery/wiki/RdfPlugin - same data but exposed through jquery-based API. -- http://danbri.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ubiquity-firefox" group.
