The following manifest is supposed to load the off.png browser action icon, but when I shut Chrome down while the on.png icon is active, it loads the same on icon automatically for some reason when I start up Chrome.
Is this some sort of a bug?
Manifest:
{
"background": {
"scripts": ["js/bg/bg.js" ],
"persistent": false
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "style/off.png",
"default_title": "__MSG_mainTitle__"
},
"default_locale": "en",
"description": "__MSG_description__",
"icons": {
"128": "style/on.png"
},
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "__MSG_name__",
"offline_enabled": true,
"version": "2.5.5"
}
bg.js:
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(){
chrome.browserAction.setIcon({path: "/style/" + 'on' + ".png"})
});

background.js
(function () {
chrome.windows.onRemoved.removeListener();
chrome.windows.onRemoved.addListener(function (windowid) {
alert(0);
});
})()
manifest.json
{
"name": "Merge Windows1",
"version": "1.0.2",
"description": "Merges all of the browser's windows into the current window",
"background": {
"persistent": false,
"scripts": ["background.js"]
},
"permissions": [
"input", "http://*/*", "tabs"
],
"manifest_version": 2
}
When I opened the DevTools by click "background page" in Chrome Extensions, the code in background.js works and alert when close browser. Otherwise no alert box.
Is there a way to disable the context menu (or the whole extension) unless its on twitter?
Ive tried content script setting but it doesnt work.
{
"name": "TwitterHelper",
"description": "Helps to make entering contests easier!",
"version": "0.5",
"permissions": [
"contextMenus","tabs","activeTab"],
"icons": {
"16": "icon.png"
},
"background": {
"persistent": false,
"scripts": ["myscript.js"]
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png"
},
"manifest_version": 2
}
maybe query the tabs in the js but that would only not run the click event...
THanks!
With the following code I try to open a mailto: link in a tab if the user clicks on the Chrome extension icon. However, upon click on the icon, no action is being performed.
manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Extension",
"description": "Description",
"version": "1.0",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png"
},
"permissions": [
"tabs"
]
}
popup.js
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function tab) {
var emailUrl = "mailto:address#domain.com";
chrome.tabs.create({ url: emailUrl });
};
There are multible issues with your code:
You never require you popup.js.
You JavaScript code is invalid.
I recommend using an eventPage to trigger the E-Mail link:
manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Extension",
"description": "Description",
"version": "1.0",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png"
},
"background": {
"scripts": ["eventPage.js"],
"persistent": false
}
}
eventPage.js
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(tab => {
chrome.tabs.create({ url: 'mailto:address#domain.com' })
})
I'm looking to create a "new tab" extension like Panda or the Product Hunt Extension: the user can open a new tab with my website inside, with an hidden url.
I've generated my package with the awesome Extensionizr and here is my manifest.json :
manifest.json
{
"name": "My app",
"version": "0.0.1",
"manifest_version": 2,
"description": "My awesome app",
"homepage_url": "http://myapp.com",
"icons": {
"16": "icons/icon16.png",
"48": "icons/icon48.png",
"128": "icons/icon128.png"
},
"default_locale": "en",
"background": {
"scripts": [
"src/bg/background.js"
],
"persistent": false
},
"permissions": [
"tabs",
"http://myapp.com/*"
]
}
My background.js come from this answer, the problem seems really similar.
background.js
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(activeTab) {
var newURL = "http://myapp.com";
chrome.tabs.create({ url: newURL });
});
I'm still getting this error when I try to run the background page from the extension settings : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'onClicked' of undefined
And when I open a new tab, Google Chrome took the advantage and display me a google search page.
I do it wrong, and I don't know how/where/why
You're completely off-track. You don't want to open a (simple) new tab, you want to replace the "New Tab page".
Daniel's answer correctly explains why your code does not work, but it won't do what you wanted.
To replace Chrome's New Tab page, you need to use Override Pages:
"chrome_url_overrides" : {
"newtab": "myPage.html"
},
Inside that myPage.html, you can add an <iframe> for your remote content.
That's because you need to register the browser action in the manifest. Here is your manifest with the browser action added at the bottom.
{
"name": "My app",
"version": "0.0.1",
"manifest_version": 2,
"description": "My awesome app",
"homepage_url": "http://myapp.com",
"icons": {
"16": "icons/icon16.png",
"48": "icons/icon48.png",
"128": "icons/icon128.png"
},
"default_locale": "en",
"background": {
"scripts": [
"src/bg/background.js"
],
"persistent": false
},
"permissions": [
"tabs",
"http://myapp.com/*"
],
"browser_action": {}
}
Here are the browser action docs: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/browserAction
I need to know how to display a pop up window when an extension is installed.What I am trying to ask is that when I install my extension,at that moment itself, a popup window should be opened asking for a username and password.How can I do that?I am not familiar with this issue.
Here is my manifest.json
{
"name": "Calpine Extension",
"version": "1.0",
"description": "Log on to calpinemate",
"manifest_version": 2,
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon_128.png"
},
"background": {
"persistent": false,
"scripts": ["background.js"]
},
"browser_action": {
"default_title": "Calpine Extension",
"default_icon": "calpine_not_logged_in.png"
},
"permissions": [
"*://blog.calpinetech.com/test/index.php",
"alarms",
"notifications"
],
"web_accessible_resources": [
"/icon_128.png"]
}
Try this:
chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(function (details) {
if (details.reason == "install") { //reason ( enum of "install", "update", or "chrome_update" )
//Show the PopUp
}
});
