Re: What happened to the form manager

"another man's useless bloat. You need a Form Manager, and this
extension 
gives you an excellent one"

wow! - I'm tempting to comment that something else is bloated here BUT
in all fairness to L Jones, whatever the feature, if you don't/didn't
use it your appreciation/value of it probably wasn't much.
And no this "new" (its firefox's idea of a form manger)  ISN'T an
excellent one by comparison.
Those who use "parts" that have been with all along foolishly expected
the "community" to maintain them, not decide a function or whatever
wasn't to continue. There parts of Netscape that I've never used,
probably never will, but you'll find no complaint here over the last
12 years of "bloat".

Give us back forms manager -
AND let the community have a say if someone decides to kick something
else to the curb.

An extension to View and Manage form history entries giving you full
control over what is stored.

If you ever had to clear your entire form history because you keyed
in a
password in the wrong form field, or you just want to easily correct

This extension adds a submenu to the tools menu giving you access
to a
powerful formhistory control center. This extension also adds a
button
to the privacy tab of the Firefox options. The control is also
accessible from the right-click context-menu presenting even more
options for managing the formhistory entries.

Form History Control will display all form data that has been
saved by
the web browser with options to filter the data either by keyword,
active page, active field or cleanup criteria. It is furthermore
possible to sort the data by parameter including form field name,
value,
date or popularity.

Each entry can be edited in the interface which is very helpful to
correct misspelled entries in the history saving the hassle of
deleting
and entering the data anew. Individual or multiple entries can be
deleted right from within the interface.

The cleanup tab contains settings to automate the removal of form
history. It includes options to remove form history data that has not
been used for some time and those that have been used less than x
times.

This extension also offers the possibility to export/import the form
history data as well as the cleanup configuration, allowing you to
exchange data between multiple Firefox configurations.

Well, that should solve that!

Installed fine in 2.0, and it should meet everyone's needs. Thanks so
much, Phil!

Actually No it doesn't exactly work.
On SeaMonkey 2 Mac OSX.4.11 when installed it if you go from Mail to
Browser there is a empty web page the controls are there. Clicking on
Home bring up page. but once you close the Browser and reopen its back
to empty page.
As far as what its supposed to do . It great. Now every time I
switch to
it I'll have to get use to a blank window and just type in the URL or
hit home first.



No idea what you are talking about here, Did you install the right
extension?


Yes Forms History extension the version for SM2


I installed it this afternoon on my macbook Pro, and just now on my
iMac. It works beautifully.


I does work as it should now. But when first install when you switch to
Browser. all the Ribbon or menubar controls were there; but the window
of the web page was totally empty


The entry for Form History appears in the Tools menu of the menu bar,
but only from the browser window, Mail/News doesn't need a forms
manager. After installing, I opened the browser, then Mail/News. I
closed the browser window, then reopened. The dialog that opens from
Tools>>Form History is still there and works beautifully. Heck, I've
only had a quick look, but it looks a lot better then what 1.1.18 had.


Forms History item is on the tool menu but when first installed. the web
page window was totally Blank.

The way you describe it working is kind of bizarre. Can you go step by
step and tell us how you are trying to invoke the Form History Controls,
and where it goes wrong. I get nothing like a blank page, and nothing
like a home button.


The problem I explained happened after the install. I go get the
extension. I let it install. I had it restart SM to finish install. I
then went to Browser (I usually have browser turn off when I first boot
up , I have it open into the Mail & news groups. If I need the browser I
go to window menu, and choose Browser my ISP Home page shows up.)

Any way after the install the menubar (back, Forward, Stop; etc.) was
there but the window that shows the actual web page was totally empty.


As an example,on my start page, there is a Map Quest directions form
that I use a lot. When I am on that page, I click Tools>>Form
History>>Form History Control. In the resulting dialog, I see all the
fomr history saved in SeaMonkey. I can click a radio button, and see
just the form history for that page. I quickly saw one typo, where I
had typed "West Cormwall", instead of "West Cornwall", and I was able to
remove the entry easily.

It also had all my search queries saved, making it very easy to remove
duplicate searches, or again, those with typos.

Its a great extension, and adds more then the tool it replaces. Lets
get it working for you.



It does work as it should once I got the bug stopped.

Why should there be an extension to do in 2 what was easily done 1.1.8?
and if there were able to to come up with an extension to put back
what's missing 2 that was in 1.1.8. Why was it deemed so complicated to
put in naturally. seems some one was lazy.

I'LL try it, and if puts back lost functionality than I have deal with
more extensions. The only extension I use now is quote colors and if the
new extension breaks QC I will uninstall the new extension. And deal
with reality of not being able to edit forms entries.



I disagree with this Phillip.  One man's must have functionality is 
another man's useless bloat. You need a Form Manager, and this extension 
gives you an excellent one. For someone who does not need one, he gets a 
leaner product.


For me, the greatest problem with 1.x SeaMonkey was the lack of any 
systematic way of controlling extensions.  Jeremy Gillick helped with 
the Extension Manager extension, Phillip Chee helped even more with 
xSidebar, but even so, trying to manage extensions and themes was a 
mess. Now its easy.  Lets take advantage of this great power, we can now 
customize our Suite to suit our own usage.

I fixed it. You have to go to Preferences > appearance and tick Browser 
and email. Then get out of Preferences. Then shut SM 2 down and restart. 
 Home page appears. Go back to appearance and un tick Browser.
Quit preference , quit SM2. Then restart. Finally hit Browser selection 
in window menu and Home page comes up thought not instantaneously.  It's 
workable now.

Why should there be an extension to do in 2 what was easily done 1.1.8?
 and if there were able to to come up with an extension to put back 
what's missing 2  that was in 1.1.8. Why was it deemed so complicated to 
put in naturally. seems some one was lazy.


I'LL try it, and if puts back lost functionality than I have deal with 
more extensions. The only extension I use now is quote colors and if the 
new extension breaks QC I will uninstall the new extension. And deal 
with reality of not being able to edit forms entries.

Apparently the Form History Control extension has been SeaMonkey 2.0
compatible since SeaMonkey 2.0a3.

Form History Control 1.1.3


Screenshot:



= quote =
An extension to View and Manage form history entries giving you full
control over what is stored.

If you ever had to clear your entire form history because you keyed in a
password in the wrong form field, or you just want to easily correct
misspelled entries, this is the extension for you.

This extension adds a submenu to the tools menu giving you access to a
powerful formhistory control center. This extension also adds a button
to the privacy tab of the Firefox options. The control is also
accessible from the right-click context-menu presenting even more
options for managing the formhistory entries.

Form History Control will display all form data that has been saved by
the web browser with options to filter the data either by keyword,
active page, active field or cleanup criteria. It is furthermore
possible to sort the data by parameter including form field name, value,
date or popularity.

Each entry can be edited in the interface which is very helpful to
correct misspelled entries in the history saving the hassle of deleting
and entering the data anew. Individual or multiple entries can be
deleted right from within the interface.

The cleanup tab contains settings to automate the removal of form
history. It includes options to remove form history data that has not
been used for some time and those that have been used less than x times.

This extension also offers the possibility to export/import the form
history data as well as the cleanup configuration, allowing you to

Well, that should solve that!

Installed fine in 2.0, and it should meet everyone's needs. Thanks so
much, Phil!

I have not checked it out yet, but I will. Yes, thanks, Phil!

Its there. But its hidden and you can edit anything in it.



type one word wrong.

Should be: But its hidden you _can't_ edit anything in it.

In the particular page that you have information typed got to view menu 
Page info click on forms tab. Once its in there if you typed the 
information wrong its there forever. On the old forms manager you could 
actually go to each item and fix mistakes such as typing your address 
wrong or your cell phone has changed.


Bad form. someone had a brain Freeze when the though up this new system. 
It good eye candy. but without editing ability at best its useless.




Amen, again!!!

Basically because the new engine offered another one and because the old
one was old unmaintained code which no developer was familiar with.



Any plans to bring it back?


Not as long long as there's no volunteer to do the work.

Sorry, but it was a bad move to remove it. It was one of the best 
features of 1.18, and lots of people are missing it. I know I'm staying 
with 1.18 because of it.

Amen! My sentiments, exactly!
