Opera 7 re-use page

Postby mickabbeyroad » Sun 16 Nov, 2003 8:04 am

Hello, hope someone can help me here. I have managed to make the mail button on toolbar automatically bring up my mail hotlist and check mail at the same time, also the home button now automatically brings up my home page AND bookmarks.

What I want to do now is when I click my home button, I want it to also re-use the same page and not create a new one. The only way I can make this work so far is if I am currently on that same page.

Basically I really only want to use one page all the time (at most two if I have to keep the mail page seperate).

Hope this makes some sense!

Thanks in advance.

Re-use page solved!

Well it took a while but I finally figured it out, now I feel like I have the perfect browser/mail in the known universe! (for my needs anyway).

One click on mail and all pages clear and my mail is checked with mail hotlist there as well. . . One click on home and mail page clears & bookmarks are back.

The toolbar.ini was easy, was just stumped when I could get actions to work but only button text would appear and not the button itself.

I can sleep now!

How I did it

This obviously wont be for everyone but this is perfect for the way I surf net. Also if there is a better or 'correct' way of writing these lines I'm all ears!

Toolbar.ini file

[Browser Toolbar]

ButtonX, "Home"="Close page & Close all & Go to homepage & View hotlist, 7 & Focus panel, "Bookmarks""

ButtonX, "Mail"="Close all & Read mail & Get mail & View hotlist, 7 & Focus panel, "Mail""


Skin.ini file

[Images]

Close all.large = 2nice/mail.png, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Close page.large = 2nice/home.png, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
