Create Smart Bookmark from Form
Last modified: 2016-10-07 21:27:21 UTC
It would be great if right-clicking into form elements would provide a context menu element called "created smart bookmark from form". Ideally if more than one visible text entry, invisible entries and submit/clear elements are available, one could create a dialog to let users select values for several parameters (but that's cosmetic right now).
If someone could give me some implementation hints (eg. filenames to look into), I can take a shot and try to get this done for 2.16.
There's src/ephy-window.c to add the gtkaction, data/ui/epiphany-ui.xml to add the UI, src/popup-commands.c to implement the callback similar to the one for add-bookmark. To get the required data, you'll need to add a property to the embed event, from embed/mozilla/EventContext. There you need to look for forms and gather the submit URLs, I guess, and all params from the form elements.
I'm working on it.

Sven, ping?
Oh, I have started to work on this on the other laptop before the hard drive crashed. I'll try to check for a backup next week (as I won't be at home this week). BTW, I can't really see why this bug depends on bug 116479
Guess you're right, the two bugs are merely related.
this would most probably mean implementing POST smart bookmarks (see bug 374584). should it depend on it?

i dont' know if it can be helpful, but that's the aim of that extension for Firefox http://mozilla.miroir-francais.fr/addons/3698/ Note that it needs to be bumped to work in current Firefox (unzip the extension, change the « maxVersion » number in install.rdf and zip it again)
here is the current extension for Firefox : Add to Search Bar https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/3682 demo can be seen there : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/images/p/26482/1223168575 I'd love to see that functionality in Epiphany : it really helps the user and makes things simpler for him Thanks
Hi, the bookmarks code has been rewritten from scratch. When you have a convenient opportunity to test the new version of the code (which will be present in Epiphany 3.23.1) please check to see if your issue is still a problem, and reply here. Thanks!
Hi, this is a mass close of all bugs in the NEEDINFO state. If you think this bug was closed improperly, just leave a comment, thanks!
