I like this except for a leak that I believe stems from its use in local context. If I'm browsing files, and open an image in the embedded viewer, Konqueror pops up an Adblock icon in horizontal space _below the statusbar_, and doesn't remove that icon even after the image is closed. As such, it's possible to flood that space with Adblock icons, as http://soniccenter.org/sm/images/adblockkkkkkk.png

How does anything ever manage to get into that space to begin with?

REVISION: That actually occurs whenever the embedded image viewer is used regardless of local/remote. The first such view of an image will cause the icon to appear upon _leaving_ that location; all subsequent icons duplicates appear when the image is first loaded. Does this help uncover a fix?

Thank you for great plugin. However I think several elements are not shown. Please take a look at:

http://www.benchmark.pl/glowna.php

And try to block the top flash animation. I blocked everything except gifs, and it is still displayed.

Hi, thanks for this improvment. Are you planning something new?

What about some quick option with right-click to enable/disable adblock.

Why its not possible directly from your adblock window drop "red line" rule. (unblock blocked elements) .. its boring for me enable menu-bar > going to settings > adblock > and searching the proper line?

Thanks anyway

hi,
thanks, that's a really cool extension.
would it be possible to show which filter blocks an element. for example one of my filters blocks videos from youtube.com and i don't know which filter it is :D

Can you use versioned tarballs in the future? It's a bit difficult to work with unversioned tarballs for distributions, especially source based (like Gentoo).

Also, I do have a crash with adblock enabled if I open one of the preview windows in kde-apps or kde-look and close it by clicking on the screnshot. I have a backtrace but didn't have time to fix it yet.

There are versioned tarbal from v0.0.2 and I think v0.0.3 fix your crash.

Ciao,

How can I unblock an item when I block it as accident?

I know I can delete it from khtmlrc file, but I'm a bit lazy :)

Try to delete the filter from adblock's configuration.

Ciao

looks great, love to see it in KDE 4 ;-)

you might wanna send it to one of the Konqueror maintainers...

Installation instructions would be useful.

I get the following error while trying to build:
$ ./build.sh
CMake Error: KDE3_DIR is not set. It must be set to the directory containing KDE3Config.cmake in order to use KDE3.
-- Configuring done
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

I don't have KDE3Config.cmake anywhere in my system (including CMake packages). Where can I get it from?

Oops, sorry. I have wrong version of cmake.

Can you add an option to replace the underlined "Adblock" label in the statusbar with a little image. I always prefer images instead of labels for extensions. They look better and take less space.
You could even make the image change when an element is blocked in the page.

What do you think about adding a filtering method based on regular expression ?

It would be great to get rid of many adds at once (.*googlead.*)

there should be an easier way to show which parts are blocked by show them after clicking on adblock icon, javascripts can be showned too as small icons as it is in quantas' vysiwyg edit view with some allow/show menu on it when clicked

i think kde-apps is enough and it has nothing in common with look so why to You post it twice

flavio

I think that the "KDE improvements" category is shared by apps and look.

dagnele

Yes is true

Nice! Are you going to try to get it in Konqueror itself?

Is it possible that you can show what expression is used for a blocked entry? If I remember right this feature is also in the firefox adblock.

Hi,

i´m always getting this error:

./build.sh
-- Check for working C compiler: gcc
-- Check for working C compiler: gcc -- works
-- Check size of void*
-- Check size of void* - done
-- Check for working CXX compiler: c++
-- Check for working CXX compiler: c++ -- works
CMake Error: KDE3_DIR is not set. It must be set to the directory containing KDE3Config.cmake in order to use KDE3.
-- Configuring done
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

I´m using Gentoo ~x86, KDE 3.5.2, what to do now?

After some time I found out that Debian doesn't have cmake>2.3! So the easiest way is to download the latest binary from the official site .
Go there and download 'Linux i386'. Install it somewhere (eg. ~/cmake) and then edit adblock's build.sh and replace 'cmake' with "~/cmake/bin/cmake" while keeping the rest of that line intact! After the installation you can remove the ~/cmake dir if you want.
This way it won't touch your Debian installed cmake files:)

Probly you need to export KDEDIR before making. Something like "export KDEDIR='/usr/kde/3.5'"

I had to install cmake :) You might verify that
