Unable to install plugin via the aba:// protocol.

[sulpherdragon]

I've recently made a large update to a plugin of mine.

I've posted it here, but it wont install automatically like all the others.

viewtopic.php?f=58&t=28523&p=185982#p185982

I can only assume it's due to the size of the plugin, its now 800KB.

Can anyone else try this out and confirm if it's an issue, or point out something that I might be doing wrong? It works fine if you import it manually.

Thank you.

I tried the install and had the same results you described. I had to download it and import it manually.

That's strange, I can auto install it(using IE engine)
Click this link "Download Latest Version: Multitool V0.7f"
Then it adds itself to the "avant add-ons" panel automatically.

I tried it with the IE engine, and it did download and install properly. With the Firefox engine, the download seems to stop shortly after the download activity dialog appears, but there is nothing to indicate whether or not the download completed, and it does not get installed. I don't think the download actually starts.

Yes, both fireofox engine and chrome engine have the same problem.
Is this a Avant bug? I'm not sure...

Isn't the aba:// protocol proprietary to Avant? If so, it seems as though the problem would have to be fixed in Avant, since Google and Mozilla are unlikely to be willing to do anything about it.

Isn't the aba add-ons designed for IE egnine only?

[sulpherdragon]

I think its definitely, a bug. If it weren't, then it should not say its installing a plugin at all.
I think this is just a small oversight when AB became a tri-engine browser.

Isn't the aba add-ons designed for IE egnine only?

No, the plugins can work with FF and Chrome as long as the javascript is written in a compatible format, the plugin I linked was designed for FF engine only and it works well with it. So I think it's fair to assume that the aba:// protocol is supposed to work no matter what engine you have it set to.

Once it's installed, the Multitool add-on works fine with all three engines.

Very nice update, sulpherdragon. I really like the new features.

Well it seems to work somewhat in IE, but it's only appearing correctly in Firefox, and it sort of looks fine in Chrome too.

Thanks, this version went through a massive overhaul. Thank you for your support

I spoke to soon. Now it doesn't work for me in IE or Chrome, but it still works fine in Firefox. Since Firefox is my default engine, that's not a problem for me.
