VivaldiHooks - more useful mods!

luetage

@npro Gitlab is yet another profit oriented git service, you don’t really break free by switching. Two interesting alternatives for hosted git are Codeberg and sourcehut.

@luetage i didn’t want to mention anything, but… yes, i had these two in mind. i like about codeberg that it doesn’t create its own software, & about srht that it tries to keep everything simple & work with/using existing techniques, instead of replacing them.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm losing hope these will ever work again...

@crimsonshade too bad there are not many able to fix Vivaldi Hooks code, and den_po often takes LOTS of time out from maintaining it. If you check in this same thread
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/11298/vivaldihooks-more-useful-mods/202?page=11
it took 2 years and some months last time to get it working again.

Has there been any communication with the devs about this issue?

stardepp

Will there be a future for Vivaldi Hooks? I am also willing to donate to this project.

Look this:

hlehyaric

@barbudo2005 You'd better look at his GitHub account for news than his V one.

@hlehyaric
This is justdanpo's last post (2021-09-27) on his github site.

It doesn't look promising.

@guigirl have you looked at the top of the page you linked? hooks are ready to work with 2.5, & what?

stardepp

Is it possible to program bookmarks Button.js and toogle Tab Button.js without Vivaldi hooks?

A Former User

@stardepp unlikely. why don’t you fix hooks instead?

@guigirl okay, once again. i said hooks were 2.5-ready. at what version did they last break? 2.4, really? were they updated for 2.5 just now?

what i’m trying to tell you, it’s an old commit that seems to be what fixed the previous big breakage. i was looking at it to get an idea how complicated fixing the current breakage may be.

unlikely.
no surprise, given the above (did you really have them with 2.5?)

A Former User

@guigirl what’s current vivaldi version, anyway? 2.5 was sometime two years ago, at least supposing that the commit was done while 2.5 was still alive (committed on 9 Jun 2019).

in the git language, commit is what you could prolly call revision.

perhaps i can compare it to the work of a detective. recently, something bad was done, similarly to another case two years ago. because i see it won’t be simple, i searched for docs on how the previous case was solved. because it is so scary, i linked the old docs to you, but you understood them to be for the current case.

let’s say something was stolen from you this time. you’re looking for mentions of it in the old docs, from when it wasn’t stolen / you didn’t have it yet.

@potmeklecbohdan VivaldiHooks was working until 4.3 snapshots, the 2.5 fix on github was indeed an old fix from 2 years ago and it has been working since few weeks ago when the 4.3 snaps hit us.
Den_po declared it's hard to fix in the github issue thread, nothing else was said. No one seem to be able to step up and fix it.
Hence, VivaldiHooks is again in an unusable state for the time being.

A Former User

@ian-coog lol… i know all that, i’m just trying to explain to @guigirl that the thing she linked above doesn’t mean any progress on the current breakage.

adacom

its simple just stay on 4.2 - thats what i am doing until hooks are sorted - so far theres nothing in the updates that i need and 4.2 with hooks is far better

you can argue there are security fixes i am missing - i am sure there are but if i was that paranoid i should turn my laptop off and cancel my internet subscription

i look at what i want and 4.2 gives me that

and so it goes...

muppy
