Hello Vitalij,
Do you mean, access the "browsers settings" from the Crossrider API ?
Can you please elaborate your question and explain with more details what you are trying to do ? -
-
Any news 'bout this topic? It would be a great feature as a custom layer is not a good solution at all (moreover it wouldn't appear in the extension page of the browser as an "option" link, but should be engaged with some trick) -

Hey Andy,
This is something the right now is being quite well handled by existing developers using an on page UI, usually a lightbox, and saving the data on the local database.
This is much more flexible as you can update the options with your code and not wait to the platform update (i.e the XPI, CRX, or EXE).
It's down our roadmap to introduce this flexible on-page options method as a Crossrider Plugin (part of our Plugin Library) -

Mmmh... I'm going that way, because I have no other choice: thankx anyway for your suggestion... but... could you refer me some nice demos about it just to look at 'em? My concern is about problems on some pages (e.g. on framed ones or if advanced objects, like swf animation, are present), so I'd like to see if there are special solutions or what is the best practice. Thankx again. -

We will do our best to prepare a Demo App dedicated to Options Window implementation and update this thread once its out.

In the third post is shown a "settings window" I haven't ever seen (maybe present in an earlier release of CR): couldn't it be let available, maybe with customizable options? just an idea... meanwhile your work is really good and usable as it is!

Andy,
What you see in the screenshot was already removed as we are working on a better more flexible way of implementing this. -
-
What's not obvious for developers is how to listen to an extension Settings button/link click events (at least FF and Chrome have such controls on an extensions list page, not sure about IE) in order to show custom popup window/div, so Options Demo would be a great help for us. -
-
Thanks for your feedback. We will do our best to make it as straight forward as possible for our developers.

I apologize for the inaccuracy of the terminology. Under the application settings, I mean those settings that can be done in the control window extensions.
At the moment, for all extensions that are made by Crossrider, there are two options. Here they are.
Is it possible to continue to add more options (different types) for extensions with Crossrider API? For example something like that.
I understand that now the expansion settings can be done through additional layers and DB API, but I think this is not the right decision in terms of user experience.
Thank you!
