New Firefox Extension for DIGG.com - popTart
January 23, 2006
I was bored this weekend and wrote a little firefox extension called "popTart" that I plan on expanding upon. Its only 5K at the moment, very small. The first two features are:
1. When you enable poptarts's frame it will load an iframe at the bottom of your browser so when you click on a news item it loads in the frame below, not a new tab or a new window. Allowing you to stay on the same page and read the article while you decide if you want to digg it or not
2. Go NAKED! The naked digg option makes everything invisible except the main page of the news titles and summaries. Notice I left the google adsense bar. I felt it would be a dis-service to the developers who work hard on the site not to have people clicking on the banners. So I have no plans on making the google ads invisible.
I plan on adding support for Fark and Slashdot in the near future as well as being able to use your right/left arrow keys to page through Digg (thanks for the suggestion Emil!)
Here is where you can install:

Haha! Great! Perfect! Thank you for making this, it's really user friendly, but Naked Digg isn't really for me, since I use that area a fair bit.

Very cool, but are there shortcut keys for the options? If not that would be a good idea.

Hey great idea, Umm not sure if this is possible but it would be great if you could enable the use of a 'backwards' and 'forwards' button or even the enable the use of the same hotkeys that are used in firefox

hehe sorry that last post was typed in a bit of a rush, it should read: "Hey great idea, Umm not sure if this is possible but it would be great if you could enable the use of the 'backwards' and 'forwards' buttons or even the enable the use of the same hotkeys that are used within your normal firefox browser"

Great Extension. But does anyone else see the glaring flaw? If you don't have the Bottom Frame or Naked part turned ON, then clicking the Digg link should open it in a new tab/window. Right now it still opens it in the bottom frame (which is disabled). The website name shows the website link (e.g. New Firefox Extension for DIGG.com), but is still showing the Digg website. Turning off both options should turn off the extension.

thanks for the comments guys... "If you don't have the Bottom Frame or Naked part turned ON, then clicking the Digg link should open it in a new tab/window." that is a bug is will be fixed in the next version, thanks for catching it :) I'm also going to add some keyboard shortcuts so you can page with your arrow keys and open/close the digg frame at the bottom with keyboard commands

Im not sure if this was reported or not but when I have the window option off, click on a link in digg and then switch the tab, the window appears. Thanks

I had a similar idea a while back and was planning to implement it as a GreaseMonkey script. What I wanted to do was have article links create a new tab that has a frame with the digg this link and summary. That way after I read the linked article, I could easily digg or report the article.

Nice extension, however personally I'm preferring to use more integrated extensions like Hyperwords that allow to do many other things not just to DIGG.
