Does anyone use supergenpass (in other browsers)? I found a python implementation of it. Since it's bookmarklets are a pain and hacky...

It works in terminal, but integrating it into uzbl is beyond me...

@jasonwryan: Oh, sorry, the post confused me a tad. In the title it says 2011.02.15, but in the text itself it says 2010-02-15.

Anyways, since this browser is still alive and healthy, could we do a topic to share the scripts we've made?
I'd be very interested in a script such as AdBlock, NoScript, Ghostery and CookieSafe for FireFox.

uzbl has a wiki where users can submit scripts

For noscript alternative you can use the per-site-settings that comes with this release.

First put this in your config (this will disable all scripts)

set disable_scripts = 1

Then copy /usr/share/uzbl/examples/data/per-site-settings to ~/.local/share/uzbl/ and put something like this in it. (this will allow scripts on youtube)

youtube.com
  .*
    set disable_scripts = 0

You can use per-site-settings to do all kinds of neat stuff.

EDIT: oh yea, forgot to mention you might need to uncomment the Userscripts/per-site-settings line in your config too.

tjwoosta: Thanks a lot for that little neat feature!
However, I need some more guidance. At first when I installed UZBL, I did put the scripts I wanted into ~/.local/share/uzbl/userstyles/, but for some reason uzbl couldn't find my scripts.
This is how my scripts_dir is defined in my config file:

# Spawn path shortcuts. In spawn the first dir+path match is used in "dir1:dir2:dir3:executable"
#set scripts_dir      = @data_home/uzbl:@prefix/share/uzbl/examples/data:scripts

However, it does not read any of my scripts in /home/USERNAME/.local/share/uzbl/scripts no matter how I try to edit that scripts_dir define.
I'd see if it worked, since I've used this userstyle.sh to make the CSS of archlinux.org different. It's in /home/USERNAME/.local/share/uzbl/scripts/userstyle.sh

Loading the script

@on_event   LOAD_COMMIT    spawn @scripts_dir/userstyle.sh

The script

#/bin/bash
 
# Author: Jurica Bradaric <jbradaric at gmail.com> 
# A simple script to use custom stylesheets for websites.
# Similar to the Stylish extension for Firefox.
# I hope someone finds it useful. All comments and suggestions
# are welcome.
 
XDG_DATA_HOME=${XDG_DATA_HOME:-"$HOME/.local/share/"}
 
# Set the path to the .css files
# Every custom css style must be in a file named web_address.css
# e.g. reddit.com.css
STYLE_PATH=$XDG_DATA_HOME/uzbl/userstyles
 
STYLESHEET_SET=0
 
for i in $STYLE_PATH/*.css; do
    stylesheet=$(basename $i '.css')
    if [[ "$6" =~ "${stylesheet}" ]]; then
        #echo "set stylesheet_uri = file://$STYLE_PATH/${stylesheet}.css" >> "$4"
        echo "set stylesheet_uri = file://${STYLE_PATH}/${stylesheet}.css" | socat - unix-connect:$5
        STYLESHEET_SET=1
        break
    fi
done
 
if [ $STYLESHEET_SET -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "set stylesheet_uri = file://${STYLE_PATH}/default.css" | socat - unix-connect:$5
fi
 
exit 0

EDIT:
So at the moment, all my scripts must be placed in /usr/share/uzbl/examples/data/scripts, which is very annoying.

hmm, Im also using the change_style.sh that your using and it works fine here.

Heres my current directory layout (I didn't need to change the scripts_dir paths in my config, it just worked)

~/.local/share/uzbl/scripts/(my scripts)

~/.local/share/uzbl/per-site-settings

~/.local/share/uzbl/userstyles/(my custom stylesheets)

uzbl is using the XDG variables, you may have to set them yourself in your .bashrc.

example from my .bashrc:
XDG_DATA_HOME=/home/hatten/.data
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/hatten/.config

[marcus@archlinux ~]$ $XDG_DATA_HOME
bash: /home/marcus/.local/share: is a directory
[marcus@archlinux ~]$ $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
bash: /home/marcus/.config: is a directory

I am pretty sure it is done already, without me doing it manually.

@tjwoosta: My setup is pretty much the same, with the userstyles in the userstyles/ folder, such as archlinux.org.css, but nevertheless, it does not change anything, which leads me to the conclusion that it is not reading my scripts/ folder.

EDIT: Was wondering if permissions had anything to do with this?

EDIT2:
It seems that per_site_settings.py is loaded perfectly! The problem must be userstyle.sh itself, or the .css files perhaps.

I think $XDG_DATA_HOME gets set in /usr/share/uzbl/examples/data/scripts/util/uzbl-dir.sh. I could be wrong
(btw if you want to move your util dir away from that directory you need to export UZBL_UTIL_DIR in bashrc, but that shouldnt have any bearing on your scripts working so long as that file still exists)

@M_ller, did you follow the link in the uzbl news for this release? It leads you to a page on the wiki where it shows you the changes your supposed to make to scripts to make them work with this release.

I.E your supposed to replace all the $1, $2, $3, etc..

Heres the link, the title says experamental-branch, but this info applies to this latest stable release, they just never changed the title. You shouldnt need to worry about the config file changes since you proabably started with the updated config file that came in examples dir. Btw not sure what youve already done but config should be moved from /usr/share/uzbl/examples/config/config to ~/.config/uzbl/config

Could you possibly show me your config?

EDIT:
For some weird reason it is 100% working now!
I have a thought that it was because of an extra space between "spawn" and "@scripts_.....", but that would just be weird!
It fixed it however.

This bugs me:

# Userstyles ##MARCUS
@on_event   LOAD_COMMIT     spawn  @scripts_dir/change_style.sh

This does not:

# Userstyles ##MARCUS
@on_event   LOAD_COMMIT     spawn @scripts_dir/change_style.sh

Is it perhaps a bug in the application itself?

Anyways, it's working perfectly now, but am I the only one feeling that it's a tad slower than Firefox?

EDIT2:
And for some reason, it seems that I have to do

sudo a+rwx *

in my script file, everytime I create a new script. Otherwise I get this output while running UZBL:

error on run_command: Failed to execute child process "/home/marcus/.local/share/uzbl//scripts/noscript.sh" (Permission denied)

you only need to give scripts executable permissions, I thought that much would be obvious (probably not a good idea to give everyone write permissions like you did)

# chmod +x script.sh

example of what permissions look like for me

┌─[Arch]─[~/.local/share/uzbl/scripts]
└─╼ ls -l change_style.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tj users 913 Feb 26 01:24 change_style.sh
┌─[Arch]─[~/.local/share/uzbl/scripts]
└─╼

It could possibly be because uzbl instances dont share a cache. You can improve speed by using a local caching proxy

see here for more..

I've been having some issues since updating, one thing in particular is preventing me from even using the browser. When hovering the mouse over any links that lead to long URLs, the window expands to fit the target URL into the status bar. Even when the window is fullscreen, the entire rendering shifts to the right when hovering over such a link.

When installing and first noticing the issue, I thought that it was my configuration files, so I removed all config files (including .local files) relating to uzbl and did a clean install, but the issue persists.

Am I just doing something wrong? Any ideas on how I can resolve the issue?

I am having the exact same problem. I attempted to set my config up to max out the url at 35 digits, but couldn't quite get it to work. I would love finding a solution to this problem. In the mean time... I'm using Icecat.

tjwoosta · 2011-03-01 18:11:41

Hmm..

I dont dont have the problem, but its probably because Im using a tiling wm. Id reccomend going on #uzbl and asking the devs about it.

vincekd · 2011-03-01 18:27:10

I'm having the same problem.

The uzbl devs need to look at gtk_label_set_width_chars. Luakit & jumanji set all statusbar label widgets to 1 which allows the window to be resized down to 1x1 pixels.

Edit: A word of warning though, it is very hard (if at all possible) to get pango ellipsize options to work after you start playing with gtk_label_set_width_chars, packing options & alignments. As such luakit doesn't provide any pango API functions.

So I disabled IPv6 as explained how-to in the ArchWiki, and it really sped up uzbl!
seems that I finally can replace Firefox with this.

EDIT:
I've made a little script myself, which is slightly the same as NoScript for FireFox.
It requires that you use per-site-settings.py, as all this script does is writing the settings for the current site in the per-site-settings file, and there it allows the site you're on to do JavaScript.

To use it, you just have to type in "ns" or whatever you have binded it to, and JavaScript is usually enabled after a reload.

noscript.sh (put it in your script folder)

##REQUIRES "sed" package

#!/bin/sh

UZBL_DATA_DIR=${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/uzbl

[ -d "$UZBL_DATA_DIR" ] || exit 1
[ -w "$UZBL_DATA_DIR/per-site-settings" ] || [ ! -a "$UZBL_DATA_DIR/per-site-settings" ] || exit 1

which zenity >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 2

exitstatus=$?
[ $exitstatus -eq 0 ] || exit $exitstatus

echo "$UZBL_URI" | sed -e "s/[^/]*\/\/\([^@]*@\)\?\([^:/]*\).*/\2/">> "$UZBL_DATA_DIR/per-site-settings"
echo "    .*" >> "$UZBL_DATA_DIR/per-site-settings"
echo -e "        set disable_scripts = 0\n" >> "$UZBL_DATA_DIR/per-site-settings"

Add this to your config file, so that JavaScript is disabled globally.

# Disable JavaScript
set disable_scripts = 1

And add this as well, so that when you type "ns", it loads our noscript.sh

# Noscript binds
@cbind  ns = spawn @scripts_dir/noscript.sh

Please note that I had to comment out the "jump to next search item", which is binded to "n".
So either replace the noscript bind, or comment out the "n" to search.

#@cbind  n   = search

I there a way to launch a external command depending on what the URI is?

For example, if I click a irc://irc.something.org, I want it to launch my IRC-client.

I tried to launch a script everytime with the event LOAD_START and have it `grep' for different things. The script isn't launched when I click a IRC-link, instead is says "wait". If I however right click and choose "Download Linked File" it works, but I don't want it to work like that way!

Same thing with mailto: links. I haven't tried those, but I guess there isn't a difference there either.

I think you can just edit your origscheme.py to match your IRC client. Let me mess around with it.

Another note: Does anybody know how to disable all cookies by default, and then add a few sites to a whitelist?

EDIT: I think you should add something similar to this to your scheme.py at the "if" part.

    elif u.scheme == 'irc':
        detach_open(['xterm', '-e', 'irssi', '-c', u.path])

However, it doesn't seem to do much for me at the moment. Basically what it does, is to start a terminal, then irssi with the argument -c URL.

Oh! So that's what the scheme.py was for! I first thought it was used for sites with user/pass auth.

I'll play around with it a little. Since I don't know python I'll probably make it launch another script and sort out the channel name and such from the link.

I can't use uzbl or don't know how to use it :
I tried all the keystroke of this documentation https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UZBL-Browser
And particulary 'o' and 'O'.

None seems to have an effect.
I am using a praticular dvorak keyboard… to press the key and the key that would make the intended letter on a qwerty keyboard.
I tried uzbl-core and uzbl-browser, I tried uzbl-core -v and in a terminal and it doesn't seems to face any problem.

Any ideas? is it beaceause I am using a tilling space wm?

tjwoosta · 2011-05-09 19:34:06

It sounds like the python2 thing. Archlinux by default links python to python3, where most other distros still use python2 as default. Uzbl and all of its scripts are supposed to be using python2. The current pkgbuild maintainer did the python2 fix for all of the scripts, but forgot to apply it to uzbl-event-manager and uzbl-tabbed. For now you can simply edit /usr/bin/uzbl-event-manager (and uzbl-tabbed if your using it). Change the header line from "#!/usr/bin/env python" to "#!/usr/bin/env python2".

Really though the correct thing to do is for the pkgbuild maintainer to fix it. There are bug reports filed on the arch bug tracker, but theyre low priority and havnt been addressed yet. This has been an issue for a couple of months now, and just about every day someone brings it up on #uzbl.
