This version will update as per normal but it will be the ESR version. This version allows to make a minor change to the config file to allow the Garmin Plug-in to install. The downside is Firefox says they will close this fix in early 2018.įirefox has a version of Firefox called Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR). If you are willing to try it, then follow my instructions and the Garmin Plug-in will work once again. Now I have to warn you this fix could leave you open to unauthorized Plug-ins being installed in Firefox. There is another work around to this that I have found and tried and it does work. Each computer is different and once in a blue moon things go sideways. I accept no responsibility for what may happen. Make sure you feel comfortable doing this. ![]() I ask you to read this whole page BEFORE you attempt this. The project is on BitBucket, as usual: garmin-plugin.It would appear that Firefox has killed my previous fix to the Garmin Communicator Plug-in fix dated November 5 2016. At this stage, if you have a server that accepts TCX files, then this should be enough. But, then I may be approaching the bloat seen in the actual Garmin plugin. I may actually write parsing code for the Training Center Database XML file, and the types it contains, and include that with this project. I’ve also written some Knockout bindings for this: but those are not quite ready for public consumption. I’m concerned there may be issues with non-UI initiated read/write events (ie, those that happen on page load) ‘beating’ the plugin being ready, but that is a job for another day. I’m tempted to remove the delegate handling, and simply have it as callback-based, but this is sort-of a transition from the way the Garmin team have done it. This script will also add the plugin to the page if it cannot find it, and will run as a singleton: calling the constructor a second time will return the original object, but also add a new delegate to the list of delegates. But, due to a jQuery bug, you need to listen further up the chain: so you can listen for these events on body. These events are also pushed (using jQuery) onto the HTML element that is the plugin object. It’s actually a little more complicated than this: we can pass in delegates, that will have callback methods called when certain events occur. So, the API for replacing it looks more like: Which does mean that any bit of code can read it, but also means it’s possible to accidentally overwrite it, as the same property is used for writes. Instead of, as would be possible with a callback that gets executed when the communication is finished, returning the data, it puts it into a property within the plugin. ![]() I understand why they have made the plugin handle it’s communication in an async manner, but seriously: why not allow for a callback function when the communication is finished? To me, that feels like it would make so much more sense.Īnyway, my other main criticism is that it is inherently unsafe for multiple operations. ![]() When the communication is finished, if this was a receive, you load the data from a property. ![]() You poll the ‘finish’ version of that communication.If this is a send, then you set the value of a certain property.So, after a fair bit of plugging around, I was able to make enough sense of it to figure out exactly how it works: Things that should belong in seperate parts, IMHO. But, it’s written in Prototype, and includes a whole stack of other tools, like XML handling, Ajax communication, and messaging. A new Garmin Communicator plugin - Īs part of my plan to create a workout editor, I had to look into the method of communicating between the Garmin plugin and the browser.
