Hi there,
I'm quite new to GM and I am implementing an application for the
company where I'm employed.
Having different users, I'd like to offer the smoothest way to Install
GM and our application, to do this I need two scripts:
1. A code able to check whether GM is installed
2. A code able to check whether our application is installed (only
when GM is installed)
Do you think it could be feasible?
Thanks in advance,
Dario
Hi,
Since you mentioned "application" and "script", I guess you're not
confusing userscripts and applications and really mean an _application_
written in C++, VB or similar languages to check that, and not something
in JavaScript? In this case, it might be easiest to simply check whether
for 1) a file or a folder "{e4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781}" in
the profile's extension-folder exists and for 2) the userscript folder
"gm_script" and the script's container-folder in "gm_scripts" itself exists.
If GM is not installed, you can offer an "installer" that calls the
firefox.exe with the xpi-file from AMO to install the add-on.
If GM is installed but the script is not, you offer an "installer" and
get a copy of the userscript from the server and "inject" it into
Greasemonkey (copy the script folder and add the XML node to the
config.xml that holds the information on which scripts are installed),
if you dare to ;)
I think this is quite doable :)
Some tips: If the language you're programming in does implement
retrieving the profile folder's name by "*.default", look the name up in
the profiles.ini, located at
"%APPDATA%/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/profiles.ini". Since the default
profile is always installed first, it should be Profile0.Path within the
inifile.
Good luck,
Chris
