Bookmark icons
Nige
From what I've been reading in various newsgroups, Mozilla should
display a site's icon on the personal toolbar, if I move the bookmark
onto it. However, I just get the normal 'bookmark' icon.
Is there something I can do to enable this feature? Also, should I
expect to see the icons in my bookmarks folder?
Thanks in advance,
Nige.

This feature was disabled because it was unreliable although the
addresses of the icons are still saved so to re-enable it only requires
some edits to a couple of files compressed into comm.jar.

Any chance you could give details on how to do this as I would find
this really useful...
Cheers,

Unzip comm.jar (it's just a pkzip file).
Edit navigator.xul and navigatorOverlay.xul and look for status= and add
src="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Icon"
validate="never"
for a <menuitem> or image= for a <toolbarbutton>
Then zip the files back in.

I've added the two lines (***) above to both files so they appear as:
navigator.xul:
<rule parent="hbox">
<toolbarbutton class="bookmark-item" uri="rdf:*"
editable="true"
status="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/WEB-rdf#status"
src="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Icon" validate="never"
rdf:type="http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Bookmark"
statustext="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#URL"
tooltip="ptTooltip"
label="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Name"/>
</rule>
and navigationOverlay.xul:
<menuitem class="menuitem-iconic bookmark-item"
uri="rdf:*"
label="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Name"
status="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/WEB-rdf#status"
src="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Icon"
validate="never"/>
Does this look OK? Nothing appears to be any different...
I've checked the comm.jar file and the changes are definitely in
there. If I try to visit "rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Icon" I
get a page not found.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Nige

I think there might be another menuitem in navigator.xul to fix, to
cover folders in the personal toolbar.

Check your bookmarks.html file for ICON= entries - these map to
"rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Icon", so if you don't have any
saved icons they won't appear :-)

OK - changed it in both - is that correct?

Sorry - a typo.

Yeh - I've got plenty...
Thanks for your patience,

I know it's confusing but <menuitem>s use src= and <toolbarbutton>s use
image= - navigator.xul should look something like this:
<toolbarbutton class="bookmark-item" uri="rdf:*" editable="true"
image="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Icon"
validate="never"
status="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/WEB-rdf#status"
rdf:type="http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Bookmark"
statustext="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#URL"
tooltip="ptTooltip"
label="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Name"/>
<menuitem class="menuitem-iconic bookmark-item" uri="rdf:*"
src="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Icon"
validate="never"
status="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/WEB-rdf#status"
label="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Name"/>
and navigatorOverlay.xul like this:
<menuitem class="menuitem-iconic bookmark-item" uri="rdf:*"
src="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Icon"
validate="never"
label="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Name"
status="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/WEB-rdf#status"/>
