@StoogeNuge

You need to edit the magnifest.json by adding

“browser_action”: {

“default_icon”: “icon_twitter.png”
}

then reload the extension.

Hi, looks like a nice extension. Im having trouble with it though. When I try to run it the way you described or by using the menu way nothing happens. There is no bar/twitter icon at the bottom of the screen or any visible sign of the extension at all. Any suggestions?

Oh, you could have just saved the settings in a bookmark, after filling them in.
Thank you!

The extension does not work for me, it does not show me the username and password fields, not even when I go to the chrome-extension://iakpobebhhhehjfpafjbdjiibejpgpjg/twitter-interface.html page. I gets stuck when I click on “Update status” as if it is waiting for something to happen that does not happen. Any idea?

Hi there Thomas! I just merged your code with the code from Reddest’s tutorial from here http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/building-a-twitter-extension-for-google-chrome .

Now your script can shorten URL and fill the field

How do I install this, sorry I am not a programmer, but I installed several other extensions by clicking on a link. I downloaded this and entered my username and password in the html file.

Thanks for all of your work!
