Code Documentation

Urimod is a Firefox addon that modifies the browser's URI using chaining rules.

The Urimod addon allows the user to change the URI of Firefox's address bar with the click of a button. This is especially useful for web developers who need to switch between different environments (testing, development, production, etc). Current Development: 1.3.x

Example: If you have a development environment of http://dev.mysite.com/file.html and click on the Urimod icon your browser page is immediately updated to your production environment of http://www.mysite.com/file.html. Assuming you have the rule set up:

    URI Match: http://dev.
    URI Replace: http://www.

Features:

Icon in address bar.
Can create multiple rules to cycle through other environments.
Can use regular expressions to for flexible URI manipulation.
If no rule is specified for a URI then the Icon opens up the rules manager.

(mR) - Minor Revision
(BF) - Bug Fix
(MR) - Major Revision
(NV) - Next Version

Todo for version 2.0:

(mR) Make all rules regular expressions.
(mR) Make sure the addon is compatible with firefox3
(MR) A clearer way of defining a rule.
(MR) Create a way that the URI can be swapped back, automaticly.
(MR) Need a system of shortcut super-rules (a way of forcing specific rules to run). Allows for multiple rules to run for the same address
(mR) Need a keyboard shortcut to the rule manager. The rule manager should be accessible through right clicking on the icon to edit or delete.
(mR) Keyboard shortcuts to all functionality.
(mR) Allow the modification of the URI to be based on what the user has typed/copied into the address bar instead of just the current location page.
(BF) When user updates rules then the current URI is checked and the icon is changed accordingly -- this does not always work properly.
(mR) Should have an option on the context menu to update all open tab URIs.
(mR) Should have an option on the context menu to copy all open tab addresses onto the clipboard.
(MR) A button on the rule/edit rule that allows you to test your rule.
(MR) An easy way of bundling rules for distribution. An export button to bundle current rules.
(BF) When a blank page is opened the rule manager icon is displayed in ff3.
