Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

I use the stock configuration, with a couple of extra bits for link handlers. What version of luakit are you using?

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

for me as a student it was very annoying that there is no pdfreader-plugin, because often i first want to have a look into an pdf before i decide to download and read the wohle one...

i solved this by checking the url from every navigation-request. if it ends with ".pdf" i'll be redirected to an online-pdf-viewer. Add this in rc.lua's user-section:

--Automatic view PDF files
webview.init_funcs.pdfview = function (view, w)
    view:add_signal("navigation-request", function (v, uri)
        if string.sub(string.lower(uri), -4) == ".pdf" then
            local url ="http://docs.google.com/gview?url="
            url = url .. uri
            url = url .. "&embedded=false"
            w:navigate(w:search_open(url))
        end
    end)
end

if somebody knows another service as googles "gview", let me know (actually im not a google-fan).

I also wrote a very compfortable speeddial. if required, i'll clean up the code an post it too.

greetings

Hi all,

is it possible to set up luakit for work in kiosk mode?

or view a transitional animation on page loading/changing?

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

Does anyone know, how to change the luakit.data_dir ? I'd like to use ~/.luakit instead of ~/.local/share/luakit, but I can't find this variable in any lua file.
