[OpenGuides-London] Find bar in Firefox
by Andrew Black 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Hi - I am adding London openguides to the search toolbar in my Firefox installation . The idea is you can search openguides even if you haven't got a page open. I thought I would share my experiences so far - if anyone would like to try this out let me know how you get on You need to put the attached file in the appropriate place which will be something like /usr/lib/Mozilla/searchplugins C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/searchplugins/ I havent figured out what this bit does. It might allow you to put the search into a sidebar but I havent understood that. <interpret resultListStart="<ol" resultListEnd="</ol>" resultItemStart="<li>" resultItemEnd="</li>" > Next stage is to add an icon and allow it to get installed from a server The documentation is in http://mycroft.mozdev.org/deepdocs.html <cid:part1.01030506.01070608@black1.org.uk> # Search Plugin for Open Guides # By Andrew Black <search version="7.1" name="London Openguides" description="London Openguides" action="http://london.openguides.org/supersearch.cgi" searchForm="http://london.openguides.org/supersearch.cgi" method="GET" > <input name="sourceid" value="Mozilla-search"> <input name="search" user> <interpret resultListStart="<ol" resultListEnd="</ol>" resultItemStart="<li>" resultItemEnd="</li>" > </search>

[OpenGuides-London] Handling chains of pubs etc
by Andrew Black 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Hi There was some discussion on Wiki about how to handle chains (e.g. Wetherspoons, Starbucks). My particular interest is that I want to add some more flesh to the Wi-Fi category and pointers to the web site for each chain would be useful. I agree with Ivor's suggestion of one master page covering general aspects of the chain, with pages for individual pubs where there is specific information needed. I would like the chain reference to appear in the header to page (like category / locale ). There are (at least ) 3 ways to do it : 1. Use a category "Chain xxxxx" e.g. [Category Chain Starbucks] 2. Create a new type of entry (like locale) so that chain name appears in the header as a sep line. 3. Use ordinary pages and link by hand. http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?Penderel's_Oak%2C_WC1V_7HP uses the 3rd way (not meant to be an allusion to T Blair) but means there is a pseudo header area at the top. My pref would be 1 (and 2 if it turns out to be used a lot). An advantage of this is you automatically get the indexing down from chain to branches. BTW - there is quite a lot of duplication between the official and pseudo header on this page. Is this a historic thing ?

I'm fairly certain that including a ' in a url enclosed in "" is correct in the eyes of the html standards (as opposed to unencoded & which have been causing errors when I've been playing with standards compliance). billy -- "On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." Billy Abbott billy at cowfish dot org dot uk
