Configuration .js snippets: where to put them?

[Marco Gaiarin]

I need to (pre)configure an extension:

https://addons.thunderbird.net/it/thunderbird/addon/tbdialout/

that still use preferences for their configuration; so i've prepared a
'.js' snippet file with parameters and i've put it on:

%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\preferences\tbdialout.js

but seems they are not taken into account.


What i'm doing wrong? Thanks.

This option has been removed, I think with Thunderbird 60 already.

For Thunderbird 68 and below you can add the default value for your
prefs in the code, something like this:

     var prefService =
Cc["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIPrefService);
    var defaultBranch =
prefService.getDefaultBranch("extensions.tbdialout.");
    defaultBranch.setBoolPref("mypref", true);

For Thunderbird 78 (which will be released next week) and up you'll need
to convert your add-on to a MailExtension. Others can tell you how to do
it in there.

I've tried with:

var prefService = Cc["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIPrefService);
var defaultBranch = prefService.getDefaultBranch("extensions.tbdialout.");

defaultBranch.setBoolPref("proto", "asteriskami" );
defaultBranch.setBoolPref("ami.channel", "SIP/XXX" );
defaultBranch.setBoolPref("ami.context", "outcall" );
defaultBranch.setBoolPref("ami.host", "pbx.sv.lnf.it" );
defaultBranch.setBoolPref("ami.port", 5038 );
defaultBranch.setBoolPref("ami.user", "dialer" );
defaultBranch.setBoolPref("ami.pass", "dialer" );
defaultBranch.setBoolPref("ami.callerid", "tb/" );
defaultBranch.setBoolPref("ami.timeout", 15000 );

but seems does not work; still i have to put 'js' file in
'defaults\preferences\' folder?

No, the defaults/preferences folder is no longer used. You can keep it
maybe for backwards compatibility, but you don't need it, as the
function getDefaultBranch is also backwards compatible.

You have to change setBoolPref to setIntPref and setCharPref respectively.

And have you defined the constants?

const Cc = Components.classes, Ci = Components.interfaces;

HTH,

Ok, now my code is:

const Cc = Components.classes, Ci = Components.interfaces;

var prefService = Cc["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIPrefService);
var defaultBranch = prefService.getDefaultBranch("extensions.tbdialout.");

defaultBranch.setCharPref("proto", "asteriskami" );
defaultBranch.setCharPref("ami.channel", "SIP/XXX" );
defaultBranch.setCharPref("ami.context", "outcall" );
defaultBranch.setCharPref("ami.host", "pbx.sv.lnf.it" );
defaultBranch.setIntPref("ami.port", 5038 );
defaultBranch.setCharPref("ami.user", "dialer" );
defaultBranch.setCharPref("ami.pass", "dialer" );
defaultBranch.setCharPref("ami.callerid", "tb/" );
defaultBranch.setIntPref("ami.timeout", 15000 );

but still i don't now where to put it; a .js in defaults/preferences
folder seems not suffices...

Thanks.

This shouldn't be in a .js file in default/preferences, but somewhere in
the initialization stage of your add-on, maybe in a separate init
function that gets called at startup.

So, it is every addon that need to have some 'mechanism' to load
preferences?

Thhere's no some 'central places' for this stuff?

Thanks.
