Magnolia v.0.7

A week ago I realized that magnolia has some critical bugs (in fact it didn't worked at all). magnolia.jpg The bug wasn't hard to fix but I thought to make a big picture change, so I started from scratch. The new version uses ma.gnolia API and for the moment seams to be working fine (I spent about 12 hours testing it) and is waiting for approval from Firefox reviewers.

If you want to play with it before approval there's no risk involved; it's tested in Firefox 2.0.0.4 under WindowsXp and Ubuntu 7.04, and has no real bugs.

Install magnolia v.07

Instalation:

1. Click the link.

Click the install link above, click install in the Firefox dialog and reset Firefox.

2. Enable API support from ma.gnolia.

Go to your account in ma.gnolia. In the main menu select "you"->"your profile". Go to the advanced tab and select enable API support.

3. Set your username.

In Firefox, go to tools->add-ons-> magnolia options. Set the username and password (the ones used for your ma.gnolia login) and click "Save". If the username and password are correct just close the window. For this step you have a new option. If you have a ma.gnolia user&pass saved in Firefox password manager, the dropdown list (in magnolia options window) will have that user and you could simply select it and hit save.

4. Drop the button.

This stage is optional. If you want a button in Firefox main toolbar just hover the mouse near any toolbar, right click, select "Customize", drag and drop magnolia's button Magnolia button wherever you like.

Mark a page:

Two ways to do that. The simpler one: right click on the page and select "Mark it with magnolia". The "add bookmarks" page will pop. You just fill the fields and hit save.

The more simpler one: hit magnolia button and the page will pop; after that fill the fields and hit save.

If that page you want to save is already in your saved bookmarks at ma.gnolia, the "add bookmarks" page will fill the fields for you from the site. You could do any modifications to that and hit save. The bookmark will be updated.

If your API key has changed (for whatever reason), when you will try to save a page, the "invalid API key" message will apear and you will have to re save magnolia options from tools->add-ons->magnolia options, so that the add-on could get the new API key.
