NextCloud 11 Support about floccus

[marcelklehr]

🎉 Nextcloud bookmarks v0.10 was released yesterday. As was floccus v1.2.0. This means: Floccus works again! Happy syncing everyone :)

[marcelklehr]

Status update: I'm confident, we will see the update to the bookmarks app before the end of this year. </sarcasm> tbh, I have no idea how long it will take, from my perspective things are ready, however the maintainer has a lot on his plate, so it will take some time before the review process is completed.

[marcelklehr]

@jkaberg Yes, I am 🎉. I still can't just push my stuff to master and be done with it, though, heh :) That wouldn't be the right approach and wouldn't lead to good software being released. Still I'm confident we'll have a new release soon-ish. Hopefully before July.

You can follow the process of getting the new API ready over here: nextcloud/bookmarks#338

Can you not provide a xpi package by yourself to download for those who want to install it earlier ?

[marcelklehr]

It's just been approved.

[marcelklehr]

Hi!
It doesn't work at all, at the moment, sadly. The mechanism I used to create the bookmarks no longer works (it was a hacky mechanism, admittedly, so no real surprise there). The actual problem is that the bookmarks app doesn't offer a useful API for programmatic CRUD access to the bookmarks (See my PR for this: nextcloud/bookmarks#322; there's also a PR that does the same thing, but is about a year old. A bit frustrating...).

I guess I should update the README to reflect this...

[Yamakasi]

Hi yes I just read that but as there were no conflicts reported I hoped it would :)

What do you think we can do here because this would be awesome to have (again)!

[marcelklehr]

The maintainer of nextcloud/bookmarks seems responsive, so I'd say it's possible to get the new CRUD methods for the REST API rather soon-ish. You could leave a comment on the PR supporting it :)

[Yamakasi]

This sounds good, which PR are you refering too ?

[marcelklehr]

nextcloud/bookmarks#322

[Yamakasi]

OK, this seems to be merged now ? Any status ? I'm curious!

[marcelklehr]

The status for this is the following: The bookmarks app needs a refactoring reconciling the two (public and private) REST APIs. Additionally, it appears that the following issues await addressing until the next version of the bookmarks app can be released: https://github.com/nextcloud/bookmarks/milestone/3

[poVoq]

at the moment with my recently installed Nextcloud11 it works fine. Not sure if the above errors were fixed or why it works for me.

[marcelklehr]

@poVoq interesting. Does creating and deleting bookmarks propagate both ways (from server to browser and vice versa)?

[poVoq]

no actually I just noticed that it only works one way (nextcloud to firefox). Sorry for causing confusion there.

[jkaberg]

@marcelklehr I see you'r an maintainer for the NC bookmark app now. Any ETA on this? 😸 (is there an PR/issue @ https://github.com/nextcloud/bookmarks one could follow?)

[Gerii]

How long does it usually take for an update to appear on addons.mozilla.org?

[marcelklehr]

I have no idea. Atm, AMO tells me "Queue Position: 266 of 289" :/

Atm, AMO tells me "Queue Position: 266 of 289" :/

And now? 😜

[marcelklehr]

265 of 295, so that gives us a rate of about three per day... Although, they also mention that they do not strictly follow the order of submission.

[marcelklehr]

Sadly most Firefox versions will not install addons that aren't signed by Mozilla...

You can create one yourself in Linux like this

wget https://github.com/marcelklehr/floccus/archive/v1.2.0.zip -O /tmp/floccus-1.2.0.zip
unzip -o /tmp/floccus-1.2.0.zip -d /tmp
cd /tmp/floccus-1.2.0
zip -r -FS ~/floccus-1.2.0.xpi *

To make it work in newer Firefox you'll need following changes in about:config
Set xpinstall.signatures.required to false and create an new String with name xpinstall.whitelist.add with an empty value.
