Jon S. von Tetzchner is leaving Opera

From its humble beginnings, Opera's co-founder (you can see him and Geir Ivarsøy making the first bits of Opera code in the top left corner in our header image) Jon von Tetzcher's vision and leadership has made his company into the proud icon that it is today. Now, a year and a half after stepping down as CEO, he has announced that he is leaving. Once a company grows, a change in leadership style is often be required as the complexities increase and dynamics of an organization change. Jon's passion for technology certainly hasn't dwindled in the last years, and he has ideas for new projects, but is keeping the details to himself for now. All of us at Opera wish Jon the best in the future - he will surely be missed! From: Choose Opera:

Big thanks to Opera..


Big thanks for Opera turbo for saving lots of my Bandwidth..

I recently gave up with my Wired broadband and bought myself a new Reliance broadband with a prepaid plan which gives me a 1.25 GB data usage for a month right now.. So i gave a try for Opera turbo for a session and was amazed to see that a typical hour of browsing social networks and news blogs just took 21.79 MB and Opera displayed the amount of data saved to be 18.9 MB.. It has saved almost half of my data... So Using Opera turbo i can see 3 GB worth of the Internet using this plan...

Thank you Opera for such a wonderful feature...

Here is an example ..

Inline Media Player

, , , ...

This is specific page for In line media player extension that i recently developed and submitted..

Features:
1.Play Mp3 links found in a current page..
2.Loads the player only if Mp3 links are found.
3.Lets you choose between Yahoo media player and Stream Pad.

There is an easy way to use lastpass with opera mini too for those who dont know....

Login to http://m.lastpass.com/ from your Opera mini
and click the link that says bookmark-let and you will get the following page..




Do as per the above instructions and then paste the book mark and set it into one of the speed dials say the 9th one..

Now whenever you want to login to a site press *9 and last pass will log you into the site....

Integerating Download managers and other Applications with Opera via Menus

, ,

You can integrate download managers and other applications into Opera easily via its menu editing features but for that you need to learn the following things.The way Download managers integrate with opera via plugins may become annoying at times so this may help.

1.How to get started with editing.

2.The file variables used when editing menus.

3.The action list that Opera is capable of performing.

4.The total view of menu editing.

So lets get started In order to invoke an application and pass selected url to it the menu command needs to look like this.

Item,"Menu text"=Execute program, "program location", "url to be passed", "", "the desired image"


In my case i use Free download manager and the menu command for integrating it is:
Item,"Download with free download manager"=Execute program, "C:\Program Files\Free Download Manager/fdm.exe", "%l", "", "Panel Transfers"

where

%l

is the link of right clicked item and

panels transfer

is an apt image for a download manager.

Using any text editor Open the menu.ini file and search for [link Popup menu] and add the above in the required place to get the menu entry.


Clicking the menu entry will start the download with the download manager.


You can even get VLC MediaPlayer to play files directly from webpages with this entry.
Item,"Play with VLC"=Execute program, "D:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe", "%l", "", "Fast Forward"

Yahoo Inline Media Player may be useful with Opera

, ,

You can use yahoo media player on every page you visit by including this userscript in to Opera which uses the Yahoo media player API to convert all the Mp3 Links in a page to be playable within the browser which saves your work of downloading and playing the songs.

Access it here



or


Just copy and paste this code
(function ()
{
var sul="http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js";
ymp();
function ymp()
{
var mp =document.createElement('script');
mp.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');
mp.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');
mp.setAttribute('src',sul);
document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0).appendChild(mp);
hideprom();
}
function hideprom()
{
var u="http://files.myopera.com/marunkmr/files/YMP/hide.css";
var mp =document.createElement('style');
mp.setAttribute('type','text/css');
mp.setAttribute('src',u);
document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0).appendChild(mp);
}
})();


If you have not seen before Below is the screen shot of YMP.


This player tends to be yet more useful with Opera because once the song has finished playing.Click the button, right click the song,Select save linked content as to see that the song is downloaded instantaneously as it is saved from the cache by opera.


You can also add custom css to the player by changing the value of 'u' variable inside the hideprom() function and linking it to your own css.Use dragonfly

Inserting External scripts in a page via user scripts.

I found this way through which you can insert external scripts on every page or selective pages that you visit.
var sul="Url of the script";
fname();
function fname()
{
var mp =document.createElement('script');
mp.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');
mp.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');
mp.setAttribute('src',sul);
document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0).appendChild(mp);
}


This method can be used to obtain many desired results like the ones shown below:

1.Yahoo media Player In-line:
This can be used to add an in-line media player to all the web pages you visit.Check out how to add this now.

2.Including Google translate api:
You can include Google translate Api in your page so that you may be able to get an Chrome like auto translate feature in Opera.Working on the user-script right now.

3.Last pass User-script:
I Don't whether it is gonna work or not but if there is an bookmark-let then there is gonna be a User script and i know that user script definitely needs this method to load your passwords from last-pass and i am working on it too.
