Here's the first release of the Simpy Firefox extension, based on the de.lirio.us one with a couple of extra things.

To install it, click here: simpy-0.1.xpi (you have to add my website into the "Allowed websites to install software" list to install this). Alternatively, you can download it and install it from there (drag and drop the file on a browser window).

Thanks for this nice extension Andu!

Two suggestions, if you want to impove it:

1- Add tooltips to those buttons if it's possible.
2- Add a "Simpy This!" button that opens a popup window, like del.icio.us'.

Regards,
Ranma

Thanks for the suggestions. I will see what I can do.

Another 'little' suggestion:

I think it would be better to remove the "Please enter some tags" and "Please enter a description" messages, at least the latter since people usually don't fill it. Or even better, you could add a setting to customize these messages (for example, with a "to-be-tagged" tag).

Also, the description could be filled with selected text (like standard Simpy bookmarklet currently does).

I'm looking forward to seeing the next release Andu! Thanks!

Andu,

With your permission, I am modifying your extension to fit my tastes. I've been trying to add another setting (the "done URI", where Simpy goes after adding a new link).

I don't know about extension programming, so I have cloned what you do with "simpy_username" option in "settings.js", "settings.xul" and "simpy.dtd". My new option appears and I can set it in the same way as yours, but I don't know how to use it in "simpy.js".

I do:

var done_uri = gPref.getCharPref("simpy.settings.done_uri");

but it doesn't seem to work. It doens't return anything or maybe it just produces a "silent" error (I can't see anything in the Javascript console).

Can you help me?

Thank you

I managed to make it work.

It's a pity Simpy This page has no "automatic close" after saving.
