MTG Finder Chrome (1.4.0) and Firefox Extension (1.0.0)

After some months without updates, MTG Finder has returned with some new features and surprises. First of all, we'll describe Chrome Extension version changes and later Firefox Addon's.



MTG Finder Chrome Extension 1.4 Changes:

  • Black Lotus Project search. Now you can perform searches through BLP, which is a famous project that gives you live price charts directly from Magic Online Trading Leage. MTG Finder will show up a list of matching cards if there are more than one or directly the chart from BLP if there are only one matching. If a card is not found, a link to TCGPlayer will be displayed.
    Check the screenshots below.

  • Frame width and height selection. Now you can insert your preferred frame width and height, note that Chrome actually has an approximate maximum width of 800 pixels and height 600 pixels. This dimension change won't be applied for context menu or keyboard shortcuts opening new tab or windows.
  • Single context menu item for MTG Finder. Now you can select if you want only to have your preferred search mode on the context menu (unchecking Extended context mode) or all available search modes on it (checking Extended context mode).

  • Fixed a recent bug caused by Chrome update that did make new windows and tabs open in a smaller frame that didn't fit the windows size. Chrome suddenly unrecognized the 95% for the height value, so now the height is calculated runtime as a workaround, so window resize won't affect frame size. Thank all of you that noticed this on the webstore.
  • UPDATED 30 october, MTG Finder version 1.4.1: Partially fixed an issue with magiccards.info. Since magiccards.info doesn't allow to be included in a frame, it will be opened only for new tab/window search mode, so it won't work yet for MTG Finder popup. We apologize for the inconveniences, we're working to fix it.
  • New options page as shown below:

Some weeks ago, MTG Finder 1.0.0 showed up on the Firefox Addon-Gallery after some compatibility problems with new Firefox versions and passing a full-review process. The new version includes these features already existing in the Chrome version:

  • Improved keyboard shortcuts
  • TCGPlayer search
  • Options pane menu
New TCGPlayer Search


We hope that you like these changes of MTG Finder. If you have any question or suggestion, this is your place to discuss it and if you liked them, score them with five stars on the stores!

Include MTG autocard popup in websites for non .blogspot domains


Some months ago we explained how to include MTG autocard popup by including directly our script from Google Sites. This mode is actually used by some MTG sites like Magic no MolaThought Experiment or MTG Fiction.

Unfortunately, scripts hosted in Google Sites can be included directly in your website only if you're using Blogger or other Google's tools, for the other sites, the direct access it's protected. So if you've tried to include the script and no popups appeared, this is your post.

To have those great popups into your non-blogger site, you need to include the autocard script and gatherer helper, so download them and upload them into your server. You will need to change the reference to gatherer helper in autocard script, just in this line (48):



var GATHERER_HELPER = "https://sites.google.com/site/themunsonsapps/mtg/gatherer_helper.js";

Other way is to download the Standalone script, that doesn't need reference changes but won't be updated (you can perfectly do it).
If you don't have a server to host javascripts, you can use free javascript hosting services like Your Javascript, which allows you to host and free access to it. So to replace the bold url with your hosted script or just leave it like this, it will work even in no blogger servers:


<script type="text/javascript">
     URL_START = "http://xxxx.com"; 
</script>    

<script src="http://yourjavascript.com/31200217801/autocard_standalone.js" type="text/javascript">
  
</script>

For the linking rules, follow the lines described on the old post.
