URL Prefix in Browser Button

Lanadad · #1 03-16-2009, 02:21 AM

I'm trying to get a button in the target window that allows me to open a browser with an URL prefix appended with the name of the target.

I've tried fiddling with the code from ProfitUI (credits: GM9), but I think I'm making an error somewhere. Do I have to escape part of the URL characters?

Currently, this only opens a browser:

Code:

<Button Name="LookUp" OnPress="browser http://www.somewebsite.com/search?name= ## Parent.Name.LocalText" Tooltip="Strategy" />

Any help is appreciated.

My target window has a button that does this if you want to take a look:

Also on your code: You can't do it all in one line, first build the URL, then pass it to the browser command.

Drumstix42, that's a very nice UI. And thanks for pointing that out to me. It's working now.

Code:

<Button Location="2,2" Name="LookUp" OnPress="URL=&apos;http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=&apos; ## Parent.Name2.LocalText&#xD;&#xA;browser URL" Size="18,18" Style="/WindowElements.WindowFrame.data.settings.style" Tooltip="EQ2Wikia" />

<Button Location="20,2" Name="Strat" OnPress="URL=&apos;http://localhost/wiki/Special:Search?search=&apos; ## Parent.Name2.LocalText&#xD;&#xA;browser URL" Size="18,18" Style="/WindowElements.WindowFrame.data.settings.style" Tooltip="Strat"/>

<Button Location="40,2" Name="Loot" OnPress="URL=&apos;http://lootdb.com/?t=mob&amp;q=&apos; ## Parent.Name2.LocalText&#xD;&#xA;browser URL" Size="18,18" Style="/WindowElements.WindowFrame.data.settings.style" Tooltip="Loot"/>

ps.
GM9, I've added a feature request to the list. Hope you'll consider it.

Yeah Zoltaroth asked me for the mob lookup a while ago already. It's on the list. I think it should only lookup your target if it is a raid or heroic mob, right? The other question is the other click to search links I have usually allow you a selection of search targets, but on the target window there isn't really much space. I might arrange several transparent buttons horizontally though and allow you to distinguish via the tooltip. Looking at the code you posted above that's somewhat like Drum did I guess.

I'm not sure what you mean by your zone lookup request though. You can't target zones.

PS: Do enemy players on PVP servers get heroic/epic etc. brackets?

Don't have to I think. You already have the dynamic data for it below the compas/time in yellow text. If the text area is clickable that'd work.

Search string for zone is:

Btw, if you are planning to implement extended searches. It would be great to make them customizable through the existing _ProfitUI_StandardSearches.txt file.

Run the updater for the target/implied target stuff. In the end I had it look up all tiers of mobs, not just heroic/epic.

And ok I guess I could add search buttons to the clock window also (it would have to be a different dynamicdata though, what's showing is the region name, not the zone name). I thought you were requesting this for the target window.
