clickbrowse not browsing?
 

i just noticed that, when you click on any clickbrowse icon, the game will open up its browser but thats about it, it wont open any eq2i/alla-whatever/google page, just stays blank.

surfing manually with it works, although its IE-based which obviously sucks

i thought that this could possibly be based on the fact, that im running a localized version of eq2 maybe passing quest name strings that the clickbrowse cant handle?

---

i just figured out some other thing:

if i press the button twice it works, the first press bringing up the browser and the second opening the url in the browser

but, unfortunately it then passes the localized quest name as the search string which does not work for obvious reasons. is there any way to get the original quest name out of some questID (if theres one) to pass to search= ?

Yep, gotta hit the button twice if the browser isn't open to begin with. Technicall limitation I can't do much about.

I'll look into the localized quest name issue. I undertand the problem but don't know yet how to retrieve the english title from a non-english client.

I don't if it's possible to get around the localized name problem but I figured out how to get around the click to browse issue. It's caused by a delay when you give the /browser command. There's a delay and then the Browser object loads the home page.

In my mods I concatenate the URI string first and then use the command /browser URI like:
OnPress="OthURIString='http://eq2i.com/articles/Special:Search?search=' ## Parent.Parent.JournalsQuestDetail.QuestName.Text
browser OthURIString"

I can not get the click links to work at all no matter how many times I press them after the browser is opened. I have the browser set to a home page and that is where it keeps going to. I click a link and it looks like it is going to go to it, but it is right back to the home page...

Same here. Every ClickBrowse button opens to my home page or to a blank windo if there's no home page set. This is for the Quest Journal and the Examine window.

EDIT: Just to clairify...When I click a button the browser will open and go straight to my homepage. When I click a button again the address will appear in the browser correctly but then quickly change back to my homepage and reload that instead. This is the same for the Quest Journal, Quest Helper and the Examine window.

A couple of other general observations:

1. Could it be possible to move the buttons for the Quest Helper to the top portion of the window that includes the other extra features?

2. The search buttons in the Quest Journal overlap information about the quest itself. Would you consider relocating them if at all possible?

3. The Quest Journal divider bar doesn't remember where it was positioned between logins and always reverts back to it's original split. Between zoning and death it remembers where I really want it but just not between logins. Any chance of having this looked into.

Thanks for everything Zonk. I love this puppy.

EDIT: I was able to use the info above and have corrected the issue for the Active Quest Helper, Examine & Inspect Player windows. These changes will open the browser, load the appropriate page and search accordingly. No more homepage issues and no more having to double click.

I didn't touch the Quest Journal since multiple tab windows always give me trouble. I don't know how to mod them correctly as the tabs always end up missing after any changes that I make.

FYI: not sure if it matters but Allakhazam's is missing the "h" in the BrowseAla / Tooltip section for each of the 4 windows.

Hopefully you can use this info to help with some quick updates to each of the windows that utilize this great feature. Thanks again for everything.

hhmm, well I guess that is ok for the Othesus browser, but what about the fetish browser, which is the one I'm using.

The above changes will work with any browser. The OthURIString is not browser specific. I've tested it with the FN v8.7, Othesus and Marts browsers.

I am having this same problem in Fetish 8.7 where I click once to bring up the browser window and click again and it shows the correct URL (of goggle or Allakazam or whatever) but it does not navigate to that page - it stays on the home page I set.

I see by the above there is a fix for this but I'm confused how to apply this fix. What file(s) do I edit so I can add the above strings to fix this problem?
