Talk:Extensions:Thunderbird:Creating a Custom Column

From MDC

For a very simple sample extension that uses a custom column, see:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=243161&action=view

Update 20061110:

I had problems with keeping the custom columns displayed when views are switched, so I filed Mozilla bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359357 which has now been fixed. Beginning with the 20061109 nightly build of TB 2.0prebeta1, it is now recommended to use an observer to hook the custom column handler into the application. A sample extension has been posted on that bug which shows how this is done.

[edit] Internal links

I'm not sure how to post a topic on the discussion so feel free to connect this! My comment is that all of the links in this article to other Moz Dev articles seem to try and put you in edit mode, i.e. they include &action=edit in the URL. They're not hard-coded but use the [[article_name]] format so maybe this is a wider bug?

Actually, is this because the links are wrong and hence it doesn't think the pages exist, therefore inviting you to create them?
