In the next release, we plan to do something like a loading bar, reload and cancel and back and forward buttons.

The plugins might take some time to get working, but they should be able to do things like implement your own antivirus (so validating website loads), posting notifications, creating new dropdown menus from the address bar (so you could add your own menu the user could select options under, which could disable certain APIs), and other things. Please feel free to suggest anything you might want. I seriously have no idea how we might implement plugins

One thing you could do is make a format that is standardized for all plugins. Have a part of each plugin (kind of like configs) be written in a specific way, which can allow you to enable/disable, and check on the versions, for updating. You can ensure that the plugins are put into their own plugins folder, and just get the info from that folder when loading the plugins. Beyond that, I have no idea.

hmm I have no idea how you would do plugins but here are some plugin ideas that should be possible

Source viewer(shows website source)
Source Downloader(takes website page and downloads)
Default Site Extender(more default sites)
Email Alerts(works with an email program to alert when email received)
pop out console(a console that pops out when button pushed)
favorites bar
multi tab(more than one tab)

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I think a good way to do it would be to make each plugin have its own separate file in a plugins folder in the root Firewolf data folder. The plugin files load on startup of Firewolf, and have an API available to them (including all the features tom2018 and others mentioned). Each file would override a bunch of global functions that Firewolf could call upon certain events (like webpage load, validate webpage load (returning whether or not to load the page), when antivirus is triggered, when the user opens the address bar, ect...). This seems more and more like the Firewolf server API just for the main Firewolf

Will we be able to have server-side scripting? Like if somebody connects to: rdnt://asite.rdnt/home?hello=10 it will act like PHP and return hello as a value, then the home page have some scripts to return shit to the client depending on that value? Also, will we be able to make server-side plugins?

[GravityScore]

Well, server side plugins sorta already exist with the server API (it has functions inside of it which are called when events happen like uponSuccessfulLoad, uponFailedLoad, uponAnyOtherMessage, uponAnyMessage, serverParallel, and uponLoad). I never thought about server side scripting... That would be a cool thing to do. This could be implemented by the redirect function returning a value when a server script is redirected too, and the server side script could have the arguments supplied probably by the '...'. If the user visits the server scripting page, it could just say that it doesn't exist, or the server page could have an onVisit function which could redirect to the homepage or some other page of the website (specified by the programmer).

Ok, list of things to implement (probably forgetting something ):
- Plugins
- Plugins API
- Server side scripting

1lann and I started to set up a public wiki on Firewolf on GitHub recently, so once it's mostly finished, we might add a link to the OP for people to get help from (the rdnt://help page is slightly useless because its not very in depth )

I told you guys to use Github a long time ago but you finally are

This actually looks really nice. It's been a while since I've seen someone use background colors in a way that fits CC well.

It crashed on trying to switch themes! "291: attempt to perform arithmetic __sub on nil and number"

UPDATE: Now, whenever I try to switch themes, it just crashes and every time I reboot it crashes right back down.

By "plugins" you mean virus, adware and other misc malware, right?

To see other people's sites yes You can create sites and access them from other computers in single player by yourself too though

You must have been trying to switch to a corrupt theme file? Anyways... I added another condition to the if statement that should prevent it from happening again

I should let you know that there will be a verification and safety check performed by me before plugins are put up as available for download
I might let some well programmed malware onto the download center though, just for a bit of fun

Any chance we might get an online database?
Like, use a .php file to upload the site to the net, and it has to use a .rcm or something like that, and you could connect to online sites using *.rcm and the server sites would use .lcm or something like that, just to make this a little bit more useful.

TIP: Block index.* files :-)

1lann and I had planned to include some form of HTTP websites (planned to be hosted on Dropbox, uploaded using PHP). Instead of different extensions, we were thinking you would be able to switch between RDNT and HTTP.

Dropbox? No. Nonononono. Get a website, even a FREE one (000webhost.com for example)
