Port the extension to Opera

[elieux]

I'd very much like to have an extension for Opera, too. Since Opera's extension model is fairly similiar to Chrome's, I think the port is feasible. I haven't studied the code though, so it's only a sort-of-educated guess.

I can provide some advice on Opera extension development and packaging, if needed.

This is much more feasible now that Opera has migrated over to Chromium/Blink. I just tried installing ChromeIPass into Opera 15, and it installs fine but it doesn't seem to work. I haven't looked at the code or even begun to test it, but I would expect that it wouldn't take much refactoring to get it to work.

Well, that's kinda missing the point. Opera 15/16 is very different from Opera 12 and a lot of people aren't ready to jump to the "next version" just yet (you could probably find a detailed reasoning somewhere on the Internet).

That isn't to say that support for the new Opera isn't worth of implementing, just that it doesn't necessarily fulfill this feature request.

Extension works fine on Opera 16, loaded in extensions development mode ;)

Hello Everybody! To those who need it. I've made port of ChromeIPass to Opera (Presto). Article in Russian, but link in the bottom of article http://habrahabr.ru/post/216239/

Sorry not all functionality was ported. Some of them is lack of possibility to implement it in Opera, some is my unprofessional knowledge of extension writing and lack of modern JavaScript with jQuery and so on.

I'm very eager to try it out, but since it's about passwords, I first have to compare SkyREgit's build with your repository to check there's no evil stuff. I'm also going to read the article and try to help him with the missing functionality, or even maintaining the port. I may find time for this in the next 1 or 2 weeks, but I can't say for sure.

All evil will be blocked by browser (access rules from config.xml). I've left only access to loacalhost & https://passifox.appspot.com/" subdomains="true" - this just left from original ChomeIPass, but didn't find why it's needed by extension.

I am using it in Opera several weeks now and did not notice any issues. Do you have any plans to upload it to the Opera extension store for easier installation?

I'm thinking of doing it myself, but I couldn't find the license passifox/chromipass is using.

[elieux]

@kgraefe, are you talking about Chrompera, or Opera Classic?

[kgraefe]

Chrompera

[SkyREgit]

@elieux do you have copy of that port. I've had my HDD failed and no port anymore :( Please share if you have one.

[kgraefe]

It's just a matter of locally cloning the repository, switching the extension view of Opera to developer mode and load the chromeipass directory with the "Load unpacked extension" button. (The button might be called differently. My Opera is localized. ;) )

It would be even easier if the extension would be in the store, though.

[SkyREgit]

@kgraefe use one of the extensions Download Chrome Extension,Extension source viewer to install Chrome extension (ChromeIPass) to Opera (blink).

[kgraefe]

I see, hm. Thank you. I did not know them. :)

[elieux]

@SkyREgit, if you mean the Opera Classic port, then yes.

[SkyREgit]

@elieux yes, i've meant Opera classic
