Some tricks :
-
adding OpenWebReader in your browser search bar (Firefox example) :
- click on the button on the left of the search bar in Firefox
- click on "Add < Search in OWR >"
- now OWR is in the list, you just have to select it, and enter your keywords !
-
adding a stream externally
- you NEED to be logged in
- the url will be like http://yourdomain.tld/PATH/TO/OWR/?do=add&url=[the_url] or http://yourdomain.tld/PATH/TO/OWR/add?url=[the_url] following your configuration
-
adding OpenWebReader to your dynamic bookmarks reader (Firefox example)
- type "about:config" in the url bar
- READ and accept the warning
- in the search field, type "browser.contentHandlers.types", you will see examples like google or netvibes
- add the three lines corresponding at your configuration, like those examples : => name="browser.contentHandlers.types.6.title" value="OpenWebReader" => name="browser.contentHandlers.types.6.type" value="application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed" => name="browser.contentHandlers.types.6.uri" value="https://yourdomain.tld/PATH/TO/OWR/?do=add&url=%s"
