Adds a sidebar to all websites listing your delicious bookmarks.
This extension comes in two parts, labelled A and B:
- Part A affects all websites except delicious.com, and adds the sidebar
- Part B affects only m.delicious.com, adjusting the links so that they open in the main browser frame, and makes some style changes so that the sidebar can be smaller.
Download Version 1.0 — 7 August 2010
This is an early release, the extension is primative and does not work well with all websites. Cavaet emptor.
If you don't know how to install this, make sure you are running Safari 5.0.1 or higher, then download and expand the archive. You will find two extensions, double-click on each one individually to install it into Safari.
Known Bugs & Future Enhancements
- I will make it an option to open in a new tab by default, if that is your preferred behaviour. For now, right-click and choose "Open in New Tab".
- There is no reliable way to shift over the contents of the existing web page, although I do try. You may find some sites have their right-hand sides covered up.
One thing that has always pissed me off about Safari is its disrespect for metadata. Prominent among those metadata are the navigational links often provided by web authors for traversing a sequence of documents.
With the advent of Safari 5 and its modest Extensions API, I have finally been able to implement something that I could not submit as a WebKit patch: A navigation bar for metadata links.
This first version is very simple, and is being released early to gather feedback.
If you don't know how to install this, make sure you are running Safari 5.0.1 or higher, then just download and double-click. It will be listed in the Safari preferences.
As an example, once installed, you can view the HTML 4.01 Link Element specification, illustrated above, which has Previous, Next and Contents navigational links. For an explanation of the meanings, please see the Link types specification. And if you're using Safari on Windows, this last example shows you how to make Windows 7 look like a Mac :-)
Known Bugs & Future Enhancements
- Only supports one link of each relation type: the last one declared in the HTML wins.
- Does not support reverse link types yet (e.g. rev=made)
- The bar is always visible, even when a page provides no links. I intend to make it hide itself.
- Links are dimmed rather than hidden when not present. Should I change this?
- The order of the links is still subject to your suggestions.
- One day the links will have (optional) icons.
