After we installed in the first part Semantic Scuttle we want to make some adjustments to our installation in the second part.

Today this blog had a lot of visitors from all over the world and all want the same … loading a file named: register.php. Strange, there is no file “register” in the blog. Why would over 100 people load this file from here? At the first moment I thought that this is just an other attack against a wordpress-installation but there is no file with this name. Also aunt Google had no clue …
Maybe this is related with Scutte? Since I publish some articles about Scuttle this accesses started and the file-name would also fit. Strange, because you have to visit “My Bookmarks” to reach my Scuttle-Installation and for registration you have to go here.
Update:
Since yesterday I redirect all requests, ending register.php to this entry. In the last 24h there were 386 requests for this file. Could please somebody, who is looking for the file leave a comment what is the meaning of this request? Is this black hat seo? This is boring me …

It seems, that the developer Marcus Campbell (Scuttle) doesn’t have time at the moment to take care about his Firefox Add-on Scuttle.

Therefore I publish here a short instruction how to modify the Add-on to work with Firefox 3.

1. Download the Add-on here
2. Rename the file scuttle-0.3.1-firefox+fl.xpi to scuttle-0.3.1-firefox+fl.zip
3. Extract the zip-file
4. Open the file install.rdf in an editor and search

   <em:maxVersion>2.0.0.*</em:maxVersion>

5. Change the version-number, e.g.:

   <em:maxVersion>3.0.2.*</em:maxVersion>

6. Generate a new Zip-file of the project with the modified file and change extension to .xpi
7. Open the Firefox 3 add-on window and drag and drop this new file

Now you can use this Add-on also in Firefox 3. The Add-on is not very complex, I guess it will do also with further versions of Firefox.

For all, who don’t want to do this modification them self, you can download my modified version: scuttle-0.3.2-firefox+fl.xpi.

Changes against original:

• Version changed to 0.3.2 for better differentiation
• Version will run with Firefox Version: 1.0 – 3.0.*
• I added also a German translation, but there is still also English included

Credits to Marcus Campell for Scuttle.

[Update:]
Since FF 3.5 my modified Version (V 0.3.2) is not working any longer. Therefore you can download the next Version 0.3.3 here, this will work with FF less than version 4.0

[Update 2:]
There is a working plugin for Firefox 4 named 2Favorite. available.

Semantic Scuttle is an open source social bookmarking system and a further development from Scuttle. Some well known hosts uses Scuttle, e.g. Alltagz.de.

In this short tutorial I will give a short description how to install Semantic Scuttle.
