Extending Firebug Lite with a Toolbar

[Ram kumar]

Hi,

I've been trying to extend firebug lite with a custom panel and
toolbar based on this tutorial[1]. I was able to successfully create a
custom panel with out any issues. But, I've been unable to customize
the toolbar. Is this possible on firebug lite ? Has anyone attempted
to do something like this before ? I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Ram

Hi there,

I suggest taking a look at Firebug Lite's Trace Panel implementation:

http://code.google.com/p/fbug/source/browse/lite/branches/firebug1.4/content/firebug/tracePanel.js

You need to set the "hasToolButtons" option to "true". Then, you can create new buttons by using the new Button() constructor. Also please note that you should activate the button (that is, initialize all event handlers) by calling:

this.clearButton.initialize();

Firebug Lite's API is not frozen yet and we're looking for ways to make it easier to use. If you have suggestions or other questions, please let us know. One particular thing I'm not satisfied with is having to manually activate/deactivate the buttons. I think it would be easier if all buttons were automatically initialized.


regards,

Pedro Simonetti.

Thanks for the quick response Pedro. I will work with the example a
little more and will post any further suggestions/questions I have. I
was just wondering if the following functionality has been or will be
potentially ported to firebug lite as well :

Hi,

Anyone can point me how to deploy an extension of Firebug lite? I searched around in all the articles mentioning how to write a firebug lite extension. But no one has told how to deploy the extension. Is it the same way as the extension of Firebug?

Thanks,

Peidong
