Suggest a topic, either that you want to work on, or that you'd like to see done by someone.

* We need more intro-level tutorials for HTML, CSS, JavaScript
** These don't need to cover ''all'' of HTML, etc. You can pick a related set of features, come up with a small, realistic example, and explain how it works.
* More examples! (for everything! could link to a jsfiddle working demo of the code demonstrated in the article)
** Make sure we have good examples for everything in the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS_Reference CSS Reference]; this would be a fun, easy task to take on that would have a big impact on doc quality. Also good for people who don't write a lot but know CSS.
** Similarly, the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element HTML Element Reference] could use a going-over to ensure there are samples for each element.
* Add/update cross-browser compatibility charts at the bottom of each page
* Create an attribute directory for HTML that maps attributes to the elements they're used by. (evilpie: JSON Dump of attribute -> elements mapping, http://pastebin.mozilla.org/991373. I am sure there are errors in it, but you get the idea) (spec: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/section-index.html#attributes-1)
* Enhance [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/constructor constructor] with more of a [http://eloquentjavascript.net/chapter8.html description] and examples.
* Augment existing articles with the gotchas you've hit.
* :TheOne: I can write Places stuff (with JavaScript) if needed/wanted, or just general add-on coding or interface documentation for JavaScript
* Go through all the "New in JavaScript X" articles and make sure the stuff they cover is included in the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference JavaScript Reference] and [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Guide JavaScript Guide].
* Collect pages to add here: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Web_Development/Introduction_to_Web_development (it's kind of embarrassing right now)
* Flesh out [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_DOM_Reference#Canvas_Interfaces Canvas API] (don't just regurgitate the spec), and interlink with the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Canvas_tutorial Canvas Tutorial].
* Add some of the code examples on restartless add-ons from the [http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/ recent] [http://ed.agadak.net/2011/01/restartless-add-on-example-code blog] [http://www.oxymoronical.com/blog/2011/01/Playing-with-windows-in-restartless-bootstrapped-extensions posts] about it.

Labs/Ubiquity/Writing A Search Command

2010-03-17T22:29:50Z

FreakCERS: /* title */

{{draft}}

Author: Christian Sonne

== Documentation of CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand ==
In the rest of this document, we will refer to makeSearchCommand as "mSC".

=== name/names ===
The name(s) of the search command, ie: <code>name: "Youtube"</code> or <code>names: ["Youtube", "Video"]</code>

=== url ===
The url of the search provider, with the string "{QUERY}" (without the quotes representing the search word, ie: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}".
If the provider uses POST instead of GET, see [[#postData]].

=== defaultUrl ===
An optional url string that will be opened in the case where the user has not provided a search string.

=== icon ===
The icon used for the search command. If not provided, the favicon (favicon.ico) located at the root of the search providers domain will be used instead.

=== description ===
A description of your search command. If not provided, one will be generated from a localized template and the name of your search command.

=== preview ===
An optional preview string or function that can be used to display results in the Ubiquity preview. For more info see [[Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.5_Author_Tutorial#Adding_a_Preview]]

To provide a consistent search experience, mSC can generate a preview for you with minimal work on your part. For more information on this, see [[#parser]]. If you leave out both preview and parser, the provided or generated description will be used instead.

=== charset ===
If your intended input and response cannot be represented properly by UTF-8, you can provide the required charset as a string. It must be a charset supported by [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter] which means one of:

=== postData ===
Supplying postData will make Ubiquity use POST instead of GET when retrieving the results. It can be either a string ie: "q={QUERY}&hl=en" or as an object ie:
<code>{"q": "{QUERY}", "hl": "en"}</code>

=== parser ===
The parser makes it easy for you as a developer to provide an interactive preview with search results, consistent with other Ubiquity search commands.

Via a number of options, you can tell mSC how to parse the data returned by the search provider.

'''NB:''' all selectors used in the following sections are either paths into the json data in dot-notation, or [http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors jQuery selectors]. Note that the latter are '''''NOT''''' CSS selectors albeit very similar. Some features you might be used to from CSS are missing, whilst others still are added. Which you should use depend on your choice of [[#type]]

==== type ====
mSC supports two types of parsers, namely "json" and "html". If not specified, it assumes you want the html parser.

==== url ====
Alternative url used in case the preview uses a different service or API than the execute function, ie: "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q={QUERY}"

==== container ====
If using the html parser, this must be a selector that matches each result, thus returning a list of result containers. When using the json parser it must match the parent of all the results, ie: "responseData.results".

It is important to note that in the case of the html parser, all details for each individual result must be contained in each container.

'''NB:''' Whilst this is not strictly speaking a required option for the html parser, it is highly recommended that you use it. If not present, mSC will attempt to consolidate the lists of titles, previews and thumbnails into individual results as best it can, but it is a much more fragile method of parsing.

==== title ====
Selector for the title of the result. If using the html parser, it can alternatively be a function that receives a single argument (the jQuery result object) and must return a string that will be used as title.

'''NB:''' This options is required if you use the parser. Unless [[#href]] is specified, this needs to match either an anchor, or a parent of an anchor, in which case the first such will be used.

==== preview ====
Selector for the preview of the result. If using the html parser, it can alternatively be a function that receives a single argument (the jQuery result object) and must return a string that will be used as preview.

==== href ====
Selector for the preview of the result. If using the html parser, it can alternatively be a function that receives a single argument (the jQuery result object) and must return a string that will be used as preview.

'''NB:''' This option can usually be left out. If not present, mSC will attempt to find an anchor in the result matched by the [[#title]] option.

==== thumbnail ====
Selector for the preview of the result. If this does not match an image element, mSC will look for a child element that is an image, and use the first found as thumbnail.

==== maxResults ====
Integer specifying the maximum number of results displayed in the Ubiquity preview. If not specified, it will default to 4.

==== baseurl ====
String used as base url if [[#href]] and/or [[#thumbnail]]'s src is found to be relative. If not provided, [[#url]] will be used instead.

=== Other ===
mSC passes on the options it gets to CmdUtils.CreateCommand, so most options not mentioned here but available in CreateCommand can be passed as well. Most notably are the meta data documented in [[Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.5_Author_Tutorial#Documentation_and_Metadata]].

== Examples ==

=== The bare essentials ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "Google",
url: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}",
});

=== Adding a preview ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "YouTube",
url: "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query={QUERY}&aq=f",
parser: {container: "div.video-entry",
title: "div.video-long-title a",
preview: "div.video-description",
thumbnail: "img.vimg120"}
});

=== Using the JSON parser ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "Google",
url: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}",
parser: {type: "JSON",
url: "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q={QUERY}",
container: "responseData.results",
title: "titleNoFormatting",
preview: "content",
href: "url"}
});

=== Using functions in the parser ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "MovieZoo",
url: "http://www.moviezoo.dk/alle-produkter/soeg/{QUERY}",
parser: {
container: "table.nyhedsbrev_tabel2",
title: "tr:nth-child(2) tr tr:first-child b",
href: function(c) {return jQuery("a.nyhedsbrev",c).attr("href");},
preview: function(c) {var p = ""; jQuery("table table tr:not(:first)",c).each(function(){p += jQuery(this).text()+"<br>";});return p;},
thumbnail: "img.lister_img",
maxResults: 3
}
});

=== Searching with a different charset ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
names: ["video.baidu", "百度视频"],
url: "http://video.baidu.com/v?word={QUERY}",
charset: "gb2312",
parser: {
container: "#result td",
title: ".r a",
thumbnail: "img",
maxResults: 20,
},
});

Author: Christian Sonne

== Documentation of CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand ==
In the rest of this document, we will refer to makeSearchCommand as "mSC".

=== name/names ===
The name(s) of the search command, ie: <code>name: "Youtube"</code> or <code>names: ["Youtube", "Video"]</code>

=== url ===
The url of the search provider, with the string "{QUERY}" (without the quotes representing the search word, ie: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}".
If the provider uses POST instead of GET, see [[#postData]].

=== icon ===
The icon used for the search command. If not provided, the favicon (favicon.ico) located at the root of the search providers domain will be used instead.

=== description ===
A description of your search command. If not provided, one will be generated from a localized template and the name of your search command.

=== preview ===
An optional preview string or function that can be used to display results in the Ubiquity preview. For more info see [[Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.5_Author_Tutorial#Adding_a_Preview]]

To provide a consistent search experience, mSC can generate a preview for you with minimal work on your part. For more information on this, see [[#parser]]. If you leave out both preview and parser, the provided or generated description will be used instead.

=== charset ===
If your intended input and response cannot be represented properly by UTF-8, you can provide the required charset as a string. It must be a charset supported by [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter] which means one of:

=== postData ===
Supplying postData will make Ubiquity use POST instead of GET when retrieving the results. It can be either a string ie: "q={QUERY}&hl=en" or as an object ie:
<code>{"q": "{QUERY}", "hl": "en"}</code>

=== parser ===
The parser makes it easy for you as a developer to provide an interactive preview with search results, consistent with other Ubiquity search commands.

Via a number of options, you can tell mSC how to parse the data returned by the search provider.

'''NB:''' all selectors used in the following sections are either paths into the json data in dot-notation, or [http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors jQuery selectors]. Note that the latter are '''''NOT''''' CSS selectors albeit very similar. Some features you might be used to from CSS are missing, whilst others still are added. Which you should use depend on your choice of [[#type]]

==== type ====
mSC supports two types of parsers, namely "json" and "html". If not specified, it assumes you want the html parser.

==== url ====
Alternative url used in case the preview uses a different service or API than the execute function, ie: "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q={QUERY}"

==== container ====
If using the html parser, this must be a selector that matches each result, thus returning a list of result containers. When using the json parser it must match the parent of all the results, ie: "responseData.results".

It is important to note that in the case of the html parser, all details for each individual result must be contained in each container.

'''NB:''' Whilst this is not strictly speaking a required option for the html parser, it is highly recommended that you use it. If not present, mSC will attempt to consolidate the lists of titles, previews and thumbnails into individual results as best it can, but it is a much more fragile method of parsing.

==== title ====
Selector for the title of the result. If using the html parser, it can alternatively be a function that receives a single argument (the jQuery result object) and must return a string that will be used as title.

'''NB:''' This options is required if you use the parser.

==== preview ====
Selector for the preview of the result. If using the html parser, it can alternatively be a function that receives a single argument (the jQuery result object) and must return a string that will be used as preview.

==== href ====
Selector for the preview of the result. If using the html parser, it can alternatively be a function that receives a single argument (the jQuery result object) and must return a string that will be used as preview.

'''NB:''' This option can usually be left out. If not present, mSC will attempt to find an anchor in the result matched by the [[#title]] option.

==== thumbnail ====
Selector for the preview of the result. If this does not match an image element, mSC will look for a child element that is an image, and use the first found as thumbnail.

==== maxResults ====
Integer specifying the maximum number of results displayed in the Ubiquity preview. If not specified, it will default to 4.

==== baseurl ====
String used as base url if [[#href]] and/or [[#thumbnail]]'s src is found to be relative. If not provided, [[#url]] will be used instead.

=== Other ===
mSC passes on the options it gets to CmdUtils.CreateCommand, so most options not mentioned here but available in CreateCommand can be passed as well. Most notably are the meta data documented in [[Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.5_Author_Tutorial#Documentation_and_Metadata]].

== Examples ==

=== The bare essentials ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "Google",
url: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}",
});

=== Adding a preview ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "YouTube",
url: "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query={QUERY}&aq=f",
parser: {container: "div.video-entry",
title: "div.video-long-title a",
preview: "div.video-description",
thumbnail: "img.vimg120"}
});

=== Using the JSON parser ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "Google",
url: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}",
parser: {type: "JSON",
url: "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q={QUERY}",
container: "responseData.results",
title: "titleNoFormatting",
preview: "content",
href: "url"}
});

=== Using functions in the parser ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "MovieZoo",
url: "http://www.moviezoo.dk/alle-produkter/soeg/{QUERY}",
parser: {
container: "table.nyhedsbrev_tabel2",
title: "tr:nth-child(2) tr tr:first-child b",
href: function(c) {return jQuery("a.nyhedsbrev",c).attr("href");},
preview: function(c) {var p = ""; jQuery("table table tr:not(:first)",c).each(function(){p += jQuery(this).text()+"<br>";});return p;},
thumbnail: "img.lister_img",
maxResults: 3
}
});

=== Searching with a different charset ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
names: ["video.baidu", "百度视频"],
url: "http://video.baidu.com/v?word={QUERY}",
charset: "gb2312",
parser: {
container: "#result td",
title: ".r a",
thumbnail: "img",
maxResults: 20,
},
});

=== postData ===
Supplying postData will make Ubiquity use POST instead of GET when retrieving the results. It can be either a string ie: "q={QUERY}&hl=en" or as an object ie:
<code>{"q": "{QUERY}", "hl": "en"}</code>

=== parser ===
The parser makes it easy for you as a developer to provide an interactive preview with search results, consistent with other Ubiquity search commands.

Via a number of options, you can tell mSC how to parse the data returned by the search provider.

'''NB:''' all selectors used in the following sections are either paths into the json data in dot-notation, or [http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors jQuery selectors]. Note that the latter are '''''NOT''''' CSS selectors albeit very similar. Some features you might be used to from CSS are missing, whilst others still are added. Which you should use depend on your choice of [[#type]]

==== type ====
mSC supports two types of parsers, namely "json" and "html". If not specified, it assumes you want the html parser.

==== url ====
Alternative url used in case the preview uses a different service or API than the execute function, ie: "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q={QUERY}"

==== container ====
If using the html parser, this must be a selector that matches each result, thus returning a list of result containers. When using the json parser it must match the parent of all the results, ie: "responseData.results".

It is important to note that in the case of the html parser, all details for each individual result must be contained in each container.

==== title ====
Selector for the title of the result. If using the html parser, it can alternatively be a function that receives a single argument (the jQuery result object) and must return a string that will be used as title.

'''NB:''' This options is required if you use the parser.

==== preview ====
Selector for the preview of the result. If using the html parser, it can alternatively be a function that receives a single argument (the jQuery result object) and must return a string that will be used as preview.

==== href ====
Selector for the preview of the result. If using the html parser, it can alternatively be a function that receives a single argument (the jQuery result object) and must return a string that will be used as preview.

'''NB:''' This option can usually be left out. If not present, mSC will attempt to find an anchor in the result matched by the [[#title]] option.

==== thumbnail ====
Selector for the preview of the result. If this does not match an image element, mSC will look for a child element that is an image, and use the first found as thumbnail.

==== maxResults ====
Integer specifying the maximum number of results displayed in the Ubiquity preview. If not specified, it will default to 4.

==== baseurl ====
String used as base url if [[#href]] is found to be relative. If not provided, [[#url]] will be used instead.

== Examples ==

=== The bare essentials ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "Google",
url: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}",
});

=== Adding a preview ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "YouTube",
url: "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query={QUERY}&aq=f",
parser: {container: "div.video-entry",
title: "div.video-long-title a",
preview: "div.video-description",
thumbnail: "img.vimg120"}
});

=== Using the JSON parser ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "Google",
url: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}",
parser: {type: "JSON",
url: "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q={QUERY}",
container: "responseData.results",
title: "titleNoFormatting",
preview: "content",
href: "url"}
});

=== Using functions in the parser ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
name: "MovieZoo",
url: "http://www.moviezoo.dk/alle-produkter/soeg/{QUERY}",
parser: {
container: "table.nyhedsbrev_tabel2",
title: "tr:nth-child(2) tr tr:first-child b",
href: function(c) {return jQuery("a.nyhedsbrev",c).attr("href");},
preview: function(c) {var p = ""; jQuery("table table tr:not(:first)",c).each(function(){p += jQuery(this).text()+"<br>";});return p;},
thumbnail: "img.lister_img",
maxResults: 3
}
});

=== Searching with a different charset ===
CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand({
names: ["video.baidu", "百度视频"],
url: "http://video.baidu.com/v?word={QUERY}",
charset: "gb2312",
parser: {
container: "#result td",
title: ".r a",
thumbnail: "img",
maxResults: 20,
},
});

Author: Christian Sonne

== Documentation of CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand ==
In the rest of this document, we will refer to makeSearchCommand as "mSC".

=== name/names ===
The name(s) of the search command, ie: <code>name: "Youtube"</code> or <code>names: ["Youtube", "Video"]</code>

=== url ===
The url of the search provider, with the string "{QUERY}" (without the quotes representing the search word, ie: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}".
If the provider uses POST instead of GET, see [[#postData]].

=== icon ===
The icon used for the search command. If not provided, the favicon (favicon.ico) located at the root of the search providers domain will be used instead.

=== description ===
A description of your search command. If not provided, one will be generated from a localized template and the name of your search command.

=== preview ===
An optional preview string or function that can be used to display results in the Ubiquity preview. For more info see [[Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.5_Author_Tutorial#Adding_a_Preview]]

To provide a consistent search experience, mSC can generate a preview for you with minimal work on your part. For more information on this, see [[#parser]]. If you leave out both preview and parser, the provided or generated description will be used instead.

=== charset ===
If you intended input and response cannot be represented properly by UTF-8, you can provide the required charset as a string. It must be a charset supported by [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter] which means one of:

FreakCERS: /* Documentation of CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand */

== Documentation of CmdUtils.makeSearchCommand ==
In the rest of this document, we will refer to makeSearchCommand as "mSC".

=== name ===
The name of the search command, ie: "Google"

=== url ===
The url of the search provider, with the string "{QUERY}" (without the quotes representing the search word, ie: "http://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}".
If the provider uses POST instead of GET, see [[#postData]].

=== icon ===
The icon used for the search command. If not provided, the favicon (favicon.ico) located at the root of the search providers domain will be used instead.

=== description ===
A description of your search command. If not provided, one will be generated from a localized template and the name of your search command.

=== preview ===
An optional preview string or function that can be used to display results in the Ubiquity preview. For more info see [[Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.5_Author_Tutorial#Adding_a_Preview]]

To provide a consistent search experience, mSC can generate a preview for you with minimal work on your part. For more information on this, see [[#parser]]. If you leave out both preview and parser, the provided or generated description will be used instead.

=== charset ===
If you intended input and response cannot be represented properly by UTF-8, you can provide the required charset as a string. It must be a charset supported by [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter] which should be all of the [http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets IANA Character sets]

=== postData ===
Supplying postData will make Ubiquity use POST instead of GET when retrieving the results. It can be either a string ie: "q={QUERY}&hl=en" or as an object ie:
<code>{"q": "{QUERY}", "hl": "en"}</code>

=== parser ===
The parser makes it easy for you as a developer to provide an interactive preview with search results, consistent with other Ubiquity search commands.

Via a number of options, you can tell mSC how to parse the data returned by the search provider.

'''NB:''' all selectors used in the following sections are either paths into the json data in dot-notation, or [http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors jQuery selectors]. Note that the latter are '''''NOT''''' CSS selectors albeit very similar. Some features you might be used to from CSS are missing, whilst others still are added. Which you should use depend on your choice of [[#type]]

==== type ====
mSC supports two types of parsers, namely "json" and "html". If not specified, it assumes you want the html parser.

==== container ====
If using the html parser, this must be a selector that matches each result, thus returning a list of result containers. When using the json parser it must match the parent of all the results, ie: "responseData.results".

It is important to note that in the case of the html parser, all details for each individual result must be contained in each container.

Labs/Ubiquity/Commands In The Wild

2008-08-28T23:51:43Z

FreakCERS: /* There Be Dragons Here */

Back to [[Labs/Ubiquity]].

'''LEGAL NOTICE: Mozilla is providing links to these third-party Ubiquity commands as a courtesy, and makes no representations regarding the commands or any information related there to. Any questions, complaints or claims regarding the commands must be directed to the appropriate developer or software vendor.'''

= Commands in the Wild =

Please note that the main way we'd like commands to be distributed and shared in the future is via [https://labs.toolness.com/ubiquity-herd/ The Ubiquity Herd]. Right now there isn't any social functionality on the Herd, though, which is why we're using this page to allow for user-contributed commentary and discussion. At some point in the near future we'll be adding this kind of functionality to the Herd and will migrate the content on this page there.

== There Be Dragons Here ==

Pioneering can be crazy fun, but also a bit dangerous. The commands referenced here have not been reviewed by Mozilla. They may contain malicious code, so use them only at your own risk. Until Ubiquity becomes more mature, we recommend only adding commands that come from people you trust, or if you've read the code and know that they are safe.

Beware that even if you review the code before subscribing, the code may be subject to change from the publisher, and your copy will automatically update on firefox restart. This problem will be remedied in later versions of Ubiquity.
