I'm creating a custom web page to display my SeaMonkey bookmarks
my way.
I have chosen to use nested unordered lists. I have ~3500
bookmarks in
>500 folders nested several levels deep. I have two problems.
The default indentation is too large causing items to line-wrap.
The presence of bullets serves no purpose and is *UGLY*.
I've been wandering a convoluted path thru the web finding only
enough
to tantalize. I keep ending up on poorly designed pages.
Suggestions?
My bookmark hierarchy has four levels of folders. I have the
following
in the userChrome.css file in the chrome folder of my profile:
/* Indent folders */
@-moz-document
url("file:///xxx/bookmarks.html")
{ body { margin-left: 2em !important; font-size: 12pt }
h3 + dl { margin-left: 2em !important } }
where xxx is the full path to my bookmarks.html file.
I automatically export my bookmarks from places.sqlite to
bookmarks.html
every time I terminate SeaMonkey, which is often since I frequntly
switch between profiles (which effectively terminates and then
relaunches SeaMonkey). The export is effected by having
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true);
// automatically export bookmarks into an HTML file
in my user.js file in my profile. (The // indicates a comment to
remind
me why I have that entry. The ; at the end of the user_pref
statement
is mandatory.)
I copied those into the appropriate files.
NOTHING happened :<
Did you replace the xxx with the actual path to your bookmarks.html
file? You do have a bookmarks.html file?
Yes. But I suspect a system problem of some sort.
I posted in wee hours of morning making no more than a <i got troubles>
post.
The other associated symptom was that edit of user.js had had no effect.
I manually tweaked the preference using about:config . I still got no
HTML file on shutdown.
Having been in customer service <different industry ;> for decades, I
suspected "Murphy". So I just now created an empty file with the
appropriate name. Still "no joy in Mudville" ;/
I've avoided addons/addins/etc since the Netscape 4 days - so that's not
the problem.
I've had no cause to tweak userChrome.css nor user.js for >> 10 years.
Is there a bug I would not have noticed?
I've set aside this afternoon to discover some diagnostic test cases. I
*DOUBT* that any explicit diagnostics for this case exists. I was thus
going to search out articles on how/why to tweak those files.
Suggestions welcome :}
P.S. I've been a "corner case" since ~"Hector was a pup" ;/
Entries and changes to user.js have no effect until you completely
terminate SeaMonkey and then relaunch it unless, of course, you edit
user.js while SeaMonkey is already terminated. (It is possible that the
same might be true of userChrome.css.) Then, the automatic export from
places.sqlite to bookmarks.html occurs the next time (and each time
thereafter) you terminate SeaMonkey.
Furthermore, you are using SeaMonkey under Linux. I am using SeaMonkey
under windows. There might be differences.
*ROFL*
I've ancient copy of WinXP Pro on another machine.
I'll investigate permutations tomorrow ;/
Had problems with my WinXP machine.
Just ran your css suggestions. Still didn't get what I was looking for.
Are we describing the same thing.
I've a sample of desired output (1.9kB).
If the server does not accept attachments, where can I post it?
TIA
The HTML fragment you attached actually came through! Usually,
attachments are stripped away in the Mozilla newsgroups.
Your fragment is exactly what I get and what I want. So you might
indeed be correct in thinking that I do not understand what you want.
¿ why would you use 500 bookmarks ???
