CHROME EXT. NO RIGHT CLICK PEP PASTE OPTION

[JamesEJ]

Back to trying to get this great addon working in chrome again.

Have been able to enter and save a title to my specific desired texts and the texts themselves by using the pastetest tab, etc.

End of the glory.

In Fx in the gmail send window I can right click certain areas and the PEP options choices appear to then click and paste. That's wonderful indeed!

In chrome, this does not work Not good at all .

How to setup the same right click routine in the chrome extension IS the question .

Thanks Chuck, Jim

Looked like your saying this answer "you cant since its in gmail, unless you white list gmail". White list a gmail account? OK, entered its navigation bar url:
(did not want to post it exactly here) And this page title: New message

In the big window appeared this:
"URL with title 'New message' will be added to whitelist after clicking 'Continue'."

The url does not contain the word "message"

Also have "Whitelist all pages" box checked.

When I click "continue" nada ziltch Nope. Meaning nothing happens.

what now? J

If you click 'Reset whitelist to default', it will automatically add gmail to the list, then it shouldn't matter if 'Whitelist all pages' is checked or not:



If PEP recognizes the url as whitelisted, the toolbar icon will look like this:


I am able to use PEP when I compose a message in gmail:

[JamesEJ]

OK you can use your addon, but the reason I am here is for me, myself & I to find out how to do that.

Now (again as I recall) having started from scratch, once I enter the label and paste text I need to save it. Last time had to click reclick "submit" on & on and on again and again until it worked. this time just nothing. Really seems kinda buggy seems to me.

how to simply save the inputted Label & paste text is this question. J

[cbaker_admin]

I think the first thing we need to try is to again start from scratch, but performing a 'Hard reset' before attempting to enter any pastetext items.

To do this, go to PEP Options > Advanced > Reset PEP data > Perform a HARD reset. This will clear all the PEP databases and set all internal variables to the default value.

If this doesn't work, try opening the Chrome error console (Ctrl-Shift-J, making sure the 'Console' tab at the top of that window is selected) and filter for 'pep' and/or 'pasteemail'. Try entering a pastetext item in the PEP window. If any messages appear in the console, please copy/paste them into your response.

[JamesEJ]

Ok the hard reset worked. To be safe, I created just one pasttext title & msg
Went back to gmail to hopefully see it then worked, but to no avail.
Tell what to do now speciically plz. J

When you are composing a new message in gmail, do you see the PEP context menu when you right-click on the message input area (see 3rd image in the ? If so, do you see the pastetext label you created when you expand the PEP context menu?

Does the PEP toolbar icon have the 'WL' badge displayed when you are composing the message?

[JamesEJ]

Nope, no right click context menu exists. And I do know exactly what your talking about->this is the problem that surfaced and why I came here!

No, the PEP icon does not have a "WL" badge icon. Its got an "Opts" icon. we are talking about the PEP extension clipboard image icon correct?

[JamesEJ]

OK, closing all pep options. Hope we are getting somewhere now. J ...UPDATE EDIT -1: what do you mean by to "close pep options". I closed the options tab but upon a right click try, still no context drop-down. DUHHH EDIT UPDATE -2 When I right click the correct gmail space, a drop down does appear (and has always appeared) bu it just does not have the magic PEP "paste email plus"access words and icon to click then proceed.

EDIT 3: Magic does exist. While simply using gmail compose, I happened to right click (out of habit I think) and voila! the cropdown had the PEP access words & icon. Goody Goody Gum drops.

So for now at least, problem is solved. How do I mark this thread closed?

Thanks for the help chuck, Jim

[cbaker_admin]

No need to close the thread. I'll leave it here for anyone else that has a similar issue.

If you run into any more problems, just leave a new post here (or start a new thread if it is a different problem).
