Chat excerpts from Freenode #mozilla:
< mutante__> could you give me a hint what i need to look into  to make a web-installable .xpi firefox plugin once i got a working .scr file for a Mycroft search plugin < mutante__> i have a .scr and a .png file which work if copied to ./searchplugins manually < mutante__> now i would like to make an installable plugin out of it <    mattmcc> You don't need to make an XPI. Take a look at the code that mycroft.mozdev.org uses (addEngine) < mutante__> thanks,will do <  mutante__> mattmcc: oh you mean placing javascript into html with function "addEngine" ? < mutante__> mattmcc: actually is making an xpi ,and just placing it on a server also an option in this case? (to avoid javascript,so i can just use regular a href links to the .xpi < mutante__> (which starts firefox'es install dialog) <    mattmcc> I suppose you could make an xpi that didn't actually install anything.. :) <   mattmcc> Actually, no, I'm not sure that works anymore. < mutante__> hmm,i want to put the link into a wiki where i cant add the javascript < mutante__> ok,thanks anyways *   mattmcc thinks with the new install.rdf format, you'd have to install at least some file.

seems like gotta make a html containing java script and then place a link to that in here ,greets mutante 19:55, 16 Feb 2005 (CET)
