I want to create Opera 15 extension | need guidance

[whizzywhirl]

Thanks, now I can open settings but still I am unable to run on kiosk mode and also I am not able to change the window size as it is not maximized

Hi whizzywhirl

... So I run this command but it doesn't run in the kisok mode

Code: [Select]

/home/tc/usr/bin/opera -kioskmode ...

Usually long commandline switches like that have 2 leading dashes (ie. --kioskmode). Are you sure thats a valid switch? Is it listed
if you execute this:

Code: [Select]

/home/tc/usr/bin/opera --help

Thanks, now I can open settings but still I am unable to run on kiosk mode and also I am not able to change the window size as it is not maximized

To maximize a window, try hitting  Ctrl-Alt-M  once or twice. If you are running  flwm  or  flwm_topside,  double clicking the title
bar should toggle the size.

[whizzywhirl]

Yeah ctrl+alt+m is working as I am using flwm. But when I do this

Code: [Select]

/home/tc/usr/bin/opera --help
it shows options only like this

--with-feature:toolkit-bookmarks [Enable by default: false]

all other options are similar to like this but not any options like
-start-maximized or -kioskmode

As about --kioskmode or -kioskmode you can see from this page
http://212.201.36.177/~siebenbfaq/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Opera-Kiosk-mode.pdf

UNIX: opera -kioskmode

Hi whizzywhirl
According to this:
https://forums.opera.com/topic/14791/kiosk-mode-won-t-work
kiosk mode is only in Opera 12 and older.

[whizzywhirl]

Ahh thanks a lot guys you have made my day. Thanks much to all who helped me.

What is the difference between F11 (fullscreen) and kiosk mode?

[Rich]

Hi neonix
I think in  kiosk  mode some of the browsers functions (i.e about:config). are made inaccessible to prevent users from making
changes or snooping (i.e. File->Open) through the system. F11 just toggles between fullscreen and normal mode.

I think whizzywhirl created extension only for himself. Opera 62 works in TC10 x86_64.
Do you want to create extension for yourself or you want to have it in repo?

If opera-62 is closed source, I'm not sure that we can host it in the repos.

If opera-62 is closed source, I'm not sure that we can host it in the repos.

According to Wikipedia Opera browser (Blink) has freeware license, but chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra is proprietary.

Hello,

uh...Opera 62   (opera 15?) i am confused.

well if i am allowed to have Opera 62 in TCL 10 x64 by somehow using it just myself.......then i'd appreciate the link to the tcz

not sure about what you can or can't put into your repo's.  If Opera 62 was allowed to be in the repo then i don't see why not

Thx

I will try to add Opera 62 to the repository (someday).

Pepper Flash works (tested). You have to
download flash_player_ppapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz form
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=FP_32.0_for_Linux_64-bit_(.tar.gz)-_PPAPI&sType=7654&standalone=1
unpacki it and copy libpepflashplayer.so to
/usr/lib64/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
and run opera with
opera --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib64/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
You can also unblock flash plugin in Opera settings
opera://settings/content/flash?search=flash
