Description:

Here is Webslice.

It's a window on the web. Like a browser, but without controls, and with static URLs (defined in the prefs) to load from.

It's a cheap way of creating plasmoids from webpages !

If you know ways of helping me building this plasmoid, please go to the Github page ! I'm a noob in QML and any help is welcome. Also, go to Transifex to help me with the translations ! https://www.transifex.com/cqoicebordel/webslice

Note : On Plasma 5.19+, you'll have to use the specific file for your version.

What is in :
- Loading a page
- Setting the URL in the prefs
- Auto refresh from conf in prefs
- Hack to have a good zoom on the page
- Transparent background
- Right click menu to manually reload the page
- A way of automatically scroll to a part of the page
- Adjust the preferred width (useful to trigger mobile or desktop version of websites)
- Inject your own JS in the page
- Use as a taskbar plasmoid
- Configure from context menu
- Choose compact or full layout
- Choose size of popup
- More URLs through context menu
- I18n (en+fr+es+pt_BR+zh_TW)
- Middle click or ctrl+click links to open them in default browser

TODO :
- Moar languages !

Version 1.0.1-Special Plasma 5.19+ 2020/06/21
After a few feedback saying that Webslice would crash on Plasma 5.19, I made a version to fix it.
But since this version remove a couple of features, I kept the original version alongside.
A full rewrite will be needed to have the features back, so it'll take time.
Note : You may have to install `qml-module-qtwebview` (could also be called `qt5-webview`)

With the release of Plasma 5.19, Webslice now crashes the desktop. Removing all sections in ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc that refer to webslice and restarting plasmashll fixes the problem. This is on Tumbleweed, which also got the big GCC 10 update, not sure if relegated.

Hoping for an update.

I'm really sorry to hear that.
I'm not on 5.19 yet, and I don't really have any time to spare in the foreseeable futur. So I can't promise anything. Sorry.
If you feel a bit confortable with code, in ~l/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/cqcb.plasma.webslice/contents/ui/main.qml, you can try to remove the "experimental" import, and all the line using it (=> if we have the same file, it means removing lines 25, 84, 85, 120, 121 and 124). Do it only if you know what you are doing.
If that doesn't work, I have no idea what would be the cause of the crash, and I would have to dig into it, which I can't do right now :/

Ok. I made a new version special for Plasma 5.19+, it should fix your problem, but remove a couple features. You may have to install the package qml-module-qtwebview too.

No problem. I have no coding experience but I'll poke at the QML file and see what happens. Thanks for the quick reply!

If someone had problems running videos on Youtube via webslice (HTML5 error), you must install the package: gstreamer1.0-libav (Ubuntu 19.04). Thank you for the great plugin! :)

AVOID LIKE PLAGUE.
I installed it and placed it on my desktop. The widget is too small, and after clicking every which way on and around it, in "Add Interface Elements" mode and not, I am unable to discover the way to resize it. I am not stupid. I am not retarded. I was not born in 19th century. I *SHOULD* be able to discover the way to resize the widget by Trying Standard Things.
I am also unable to discover the way to REMOVE this thing from my desktop, other than by uninstalling the addon. Absolutely abysmal, actively hostile user experience here.

I'm sorry, but that is not the widget fault, but the way the widgets works in KDE. You'll have the same issue with *every* widget/plasmoid.
The solution to your problem is to long click on it, or long hover it when the graphical components are unlocked. A column at the right should appear with the resize, rotate, remove, and configure options.
Enjoy ! :)

Can we configure the size of the window when the applet is docked? I would like to use it in Latte Dock but when I click on it the window is tiny.

nice widget I use it to display the Global conciousness Project status in the taskbar.

But I would need something missing.
I set up the widget to DISPLAY the content of the page X, and I would like to be able to open a navigator on this page when clicking on the widget. Today we have to choose between EITHER displaying the content or displaying a button to go to the site X. I would like both : display the content of site X and when clicking beeing able to go to site X with an external navigator.

I'm not sure I understand you : You can go to the website by right clicking in the webpage, and selecting "Open in default browser". In icon mode, it doesn't open in the browser, it only opens a popup with the webpage.
