Talk:Adding preferences to an extension

From MDC

Why is infoReceived() skipped when refreshInformation() is triggered by changing the "symbol" preference in the options window?

All references to the preferences should be

 extensions.stockwatcher2.*

rather than

 stockwatcher2.*

as explained in the article's on this site called "Extension Ettiquette".

One could use something like this to avoid repeated code in oncommand.

 <popupset id="mainPopupSet">
   <menupopup id="stockmenu" oncommand="var val=event.target.value; if(val) StockWatcher.watchStock(val)">
     <menuitem label="Refresh Now" default="true"
               oncommand="StockWatcher.refreshInformation()"/>
     <menuseparator/>
     <menuitem label="Apple (AAPL)" value="AAPL"/>
     <menuitem label="Google (GOOG)" value="GOOG"/>
     <menuitem label="Microsoft (MSFT)" value="MSFT"/>
     <menuitem label="Yahoo! (YHOO)" value="YHOO"/>
   </menupopup>
 </popupset>

Oh, and I would use an anonymous wrapper function here, in order to be able to use this in refreshInformation:

window.setInterval(this.refreshInformation, 10*60*1000);
