Hi,

AdBlock 2.4.28 blocks ClickToPlugin 2.2.8 preferences pane.
I forward a couple of emails with ClickToPlugin's developer.

Subject: Re: [CTP] This piece of garbage doesn’t work!

Another user told me that the Spanish list in Adblock causes this, so
you may want to uncheck it.

Whitelisting safari-extension:// allows me to open ClickToPlugin

If you don't mind I'll forward this thread to AdBlock's developer.

If anything this is an Adblock bug, since this is not an ad. You
should be able to fix this by adding addresses starting with safari-
extension:// to AdBlock's whitelist (I don't know how to do this – you
should ask the developer of Adblock).

Hi,
Since ClickToFlash 2.5.3 doesn't work in Safari 5.0.5 under 10.5.8
(for me at least)
I gave a try to ClickToPlugin 2.2.8 but its preferences get blocked by
AdBlock 2.4.28.
Although I see the contextual menu item I must disable Adblock for the
preferences pane to appear.
Bug?

Hi,

Please email naus...@gmail.com, the maintainer of the Spanish list, and ask him if he'd consider adding an exception.  If not, we can add an exception on our end.

I don´t have Mac (only Linux Mint and WXP). Perhaps, the solution is?

@@ClickToPlugin

Can you verified?

First, I can confirm this.

@Maty: Your whitelist filter actually works, but the filter in your
list that causes this problem is ".click".
You might consider changing this filter, because I think it can cause
a lot more false positives as it is a very general filter.

@Michael: Can you tell me why both "@@.click" and "@@ClickToPlugin"
work? Or why ".click" is causing this?

I updated the Spanish list, but it still blocks the prefs pane.

I cannot confirm on Windows, so it looks like it's Mac only.

The URL that ClickToPlugin opens is
  safari-extension://com.hoyois.safari.clicktoplugin-GY[numbers]/[letters]/settings.html 
.  So the
  .click
filter matches as a substring of that URL.

(and @@ClickToPlugin works because filters are not case-sensitive, so "ClickToPlugin" matches as case-insensitive substring of the URL, so @@ClickToPlugin whitelists it.)

Hola Maty,

Hoy el 8 de Noviembre no veo @@ClickToPlugin ni @@.clicktoplugin en http://abp.mozilla-hispano.org/nauscopio/filtros.txt .  AdBlock no usa su "hosts file", solo usa sus filtros.

¿Puede añadir el filtro
  @@ClickToPlugin
y decirnos cuando la copía onlina está cambiado?

Muchas grácias,
Michael

db, if you "Update Now" under Filter Lists the problem should disappear.  Please let us know how it goes!
