Bookmarks Or Favorites? How do I that folder

[NTG]

Hello, this is my first post here, and my first day with you all. I will first say hello and now beg for your help ( hehe ). I' m in the middle of creating a browser for myself and family members, I have got to the point were I thought I had finished when my wife asked were the favorites go? Hmm, not sure I said, I have read through alot of posts and found a few subjects related to simalar problems but the explenations I have found dont seem to explaint it to me in lamens terms. If anyone knows how to do this easily or hard but has time to explain please let me know.
Many thanks.

If you are using the AMS webobject, then if you save a page from there by right click save to favorites, the default location is the system user's Internet Explorer Favorites folder
C:\Documents and Settings\NTG\Favorites
I would create save and load favorite buttons and use the get.url to get the present page and save to a folder within the browser project. Then load the url from a table created from the projects favorite folders. I used the Popup Menu Plugin to populate a menu from that table (you can get a trial of the plugin Here). Go to Here for an example of the popup bookmark apz. It gets the table from a database, so you need the full version of AMS to actually use it, but the code is there.
I believe there is a thread on how to receive and send actions with the webobject (do a search) so MAYBE you could still use the rightclick on the web object.
I would add an options page to give the user some other setup options. Like getting (importing) the favorites already on the user's system and putting them into the projects folder, etc.
If you need any help with these things, get back to us.

Here is a simple custom browser for reference. It uses the sqlite plugin and the PopupMenu plugin to manage Favorites.
I am going to see what can be done about the right click menu on the web object, and come up with a way to import favorites from at least IE and Firefox.

I am going to post the same browser with the Application.ShowPopupmenu later today. I almost have that part finished.
"I'll be back"

[Roboblue]

OK, here is the custom browser with Application.ShowPopupmenu instead of the PopupMenu plug in.
I also added a ClipBoard paste for the link address in the management section and put more dialog traps in the save to favorites action.
When I get some time, I am going to
research for a way to trap the on web object right click to save favorites.
Add folders for favorite catagories.
try to build an import favorites from the system IE and/or Firefox.
build a core project to run tabbed web objects (a 3-4 tab limit)
I posted a sample of a webobject that has right click pretty much disabled here.
Maybe in a couple of months, this evolve into a pretty good browser. My main plan for this is to put it on a USB Flash Drive to be transportable. Firefox has a free portable browser, but it's like 9MB. I would like to see a decent feature set in 3.5MB. And I am far from being finished as far as a "skin" for it as you would want it to be easily customizable. Like "Roll Tide!"

Roboblue, great job!
This is the first good web-browser project ive seen in ams

[Roboblue]

Thank you Mina.
I am working on a four tab (webobjects) core, right now.
Hopefully post example today or tomorrow.

Wow !!!!

Thanks for the excellent example. The difference make it unique coz it uses SQLite.

Robo.... it's uploaded in my Examples site.

hehe..mine too

[Roboblue]

Mina and Azmanar
You have PM's

[azmanar]

Mina,

Wow ....thats good.

I have very high regards towards anyone who shares useful knowledge. So the learning example Robo shared with us cannot be missed. Visitors either get it from your site or mine or from this forum.

You guys are going to love this...a FOUR TAB custom browser.
Yeah baby!
I'm pretty proud of this update. May still be a few bugs, but i didn't see any.
Still to do
Make Folders for bookmark catagories so the popup menu isn't hitting the floor.
Create an import feature to grab Bookmarks from the system IE and/or Firefox.
Compact controls so there is more room for custom theme's and images.

I have to go back to my popup menu design for a couple of days, so there probably won't be an update until Monday. When I am personally satisfied with this, I will post it over in the examples section.
Enjoy!

[Mina]

Roboblue, I'm impressed!
Yes you were right, i love this! here's another piece going right into my site

What if you make one with the option of 'Adding' and 'Removing' tabs? Now thats a challenge. I'll try to make one and post it later today, which can hold a maximum of 5/6 tabs. Ill enjoy the next few hours trying to make that! (it's 12.11am now),
