Also, when using the add-in, is there a way to have my Gizmo5 softphone be the "Forwarding Number" phone?

MemberHi Chad,
Excellent extension!
I've run across a case where it causes the contents of a table cell with some text and a phone number in it to completely disappear rather than just linkify the number. Unfortunately, its inside the login for my magicJack account, so I can't provide a link to it. I discovered it as I was attempting to forward my magicJack to my Google Voice number. There are actually two instances on the page where this happens.
In hopes that it will help, below is the source for one of those table cells with your extension both disabled and enabled.
Disabled:
<tr> <td style="padding: 5px; width: 50%;">Calls will forward to: (###) ###-#### </td> <td style="padding: 5px;"><input name="forwardToNumber" value="Change Number Here" id="SaveFwd_forwardToNumber_1" type="text"></td> </tr>Enabled:
<tr> <td style="padding: 5px; width: 50%;"><span>Calls will forward to: <a style="cursor: pointer;">(###) ###-####</a> </span></td> <td style="padding: 5px;"><input name="forwardToNumber" value="Change Number Here" id="SaveFwd_forwardToNumber_1" type="text"></td> </tr>I hope this info helps. If not, feel free to ask for whatever other info you need.
Thanks again for such a great extension!
Edit: Woops, forgot to specify what versions I'm running. This is 0.2.0b5 on Firefox 3.5.1 on Windows XP SP2.

MemberFirst I want to say I think this add-on is great..
But, I do have 1 issue..
My Startup screen is IGoogle. When I add the Google Voice Addon,
every time I start FireFox, IGoogle asks me to Login.
The reason is that both Firefox (IGoogle home page)and Google Voice Add-on are both logging in.
I have tried to remove the Username & Password from GV Addon, but then it doesn't work, unless I put the information back in..
If I remove the Username and Password from FireFox, Then every time I turn on FireFox I would have to login manually.We need a fix for this issue.. Please..
Thanks.

Is your iGoogle login different than the one for Google Voice? If so, that's why. You can only be logged in to one Google account at a time.

MemberI have tried the same account, and a totally different account, and I get the same issue.
Everytime I open Firefox (Igoogle is my home page), and GV addon loads fine, but IGoogle asks to login...
I disable the GV Addon (from the tools, then add-ons screen) and have no issues with IGoogle login..Posted 7 months ago # -

MemberHello Chad,
I was just reminded of the GV click-to-dial feature that your excellent add-in provides. Very cool! Here's a feature request: make an attempt to recognize phone numbers that include letters. Here's a specific example copied from the HTML source: this appeared exactly as follows, not broken by any tags.
Call 1-888-432-CAMP(2267)I know that the potential combinations are large, but some of the simpler ones should be recognizable with modest effort. A slightly harder one is my new GV number: 410-91-I-SING .
As an extra cue, the word Call followed by a hyphen separated (or parens? or periods?) alpha-numeric string could be considered a possible phone number.
Best regards,
Daniel

New Release: v0.5.0
Changes in v0.5.0:
- Reduced script by about 5000 characters.
- Fixed a major regression from v0.2.0b4 where "cookies blocked" was no longer being displayed when third-party cookies could not be saved, which caused an infinite loop in login attempts.
- Forwarding number no longer has to be exactly 10 digits, however only the last 10 digits are used.
Incoming changes:- Switching from XMLHttpRequest to Sandboxed HTTP connections so primary sessions are no longer disrupted and third-party cookie permissions do not have to be granted to Google.
- Removing "Confirm All Calls" option since a confirmation dialog shows up when a number is dialed rather than an alert box.
- Updating authentication as per the upcoming changes to Google Voice's "ClientLogin" requirements.
- Changing statusbar appearance and tooltip notifications.
The next (non-beta) version of the addon will be v1.0.

MemberHi Chad,
Just wondering if you took a look at this. It's still a problem with v0.5.0.

It sounds like their CSS hides spans that are inside of tds. I will make the next version override default styles with display:inline. If you want to try fixing it yourself, open the source and add replacement.setAttribute('style','display:inline'); right after line 58.

MemberHi Chad,
I tried what you said and it still doesn't work, although I do see a change in the source because of that edit, so I'm pretty sure I did it right. If I choose No Style in View->Page Style, I do see the missing text, so I'm sure you're right about it being CSS related. There are 6(!) .css files specified in the source. I tried posting the links to them here since you can get to them without being logged in, but they seem to have caused those attempts to go into the bit bucket. So, here's a single link to a text-paste site. Hopefully that works!
Thanks for looking into this!

Looks like main.css is moving the spans way off to the left to hide them.
Try: replacement.setAttribute('style','position:relative');

MemberHi Chad,
It's still not showing up. Here is the source after the change in case it helps.
<tr> <td style="padding: 5px; width: 50%;"><span style="position: relative;">Calls will forward to: <a style="cursor: pointer;">(###) ###-####</a> </span></td> <td style="padding: 5px;"><input name="forwardToNumber" value="Change Number Here" id="SaveFwd_forwardToNumber_1" type="text"></td> </tr>Posted 6 months ago # -

MemberI want to second this one:
Feature request- rather than hard-coding the phone to call to make the outgoing call (in the settings) is there a way to choose which phone to use when making the call?
I'm using this on a laptop that I move from office to home to road, and I cannot hard code in a "Forwarding Number". Add a dropdown to the dial screen letting you pick the number to use for that call.

A new wrinkle...
After starting up my machine this morning, the addon started complaining about an incorrect login or password. It had been working fine for weeks, so I checked the settings, and everything was correct. I uninstalled the addon, and updated to the most recent version (I was on 0.2.0B3 I believe), but I'm still having the same issue.
Anyone else seeing this?

The latest version of the addon is 0.5.0. Which version of Firefox are you using? I know there will be a change to the login page in the future, but haven't seen it yet on my accounts.
Posted 5 months ago # -
addon version: 0.5.0 (just installed this morning)
Firefox version: 3.5.3
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.8Like I said, it was working fine (even with the old version of the addon) until this morning...I don't know what changed between 10:00 last night when I shut down and 8:30 this morning when I started my computer back up.

MemberIf you extract the XML file from:
https://www.google.com/voice/inbox/recent/inbox/You'll get the most recent 10 results. Is there a way to get all the results ... or change the number of results per page?
Thanks,

Several users reported they are suddenly getting an invalid username and password error but can still log in to the Google Voice website. This appears to be related to session cookies and is likely due to upcoming changes that are effecting accounts in waves.
If your account has been effected and you are willing to lend it for testing please contact me. Unfortunately all my accounts still work.Posted 5 months ago # -

MemberI too am getting "incorrect login". I would love to help, but my gmail is my main account, and "lending" it makes me sort of nervous. If there is anything else I can do to assist with debugging, please let me know. I am no expert in FF add-on development, but I am a programmer and would be happy to try to assist. ( could i provide info by tracing something in the firebug console, for example? ) Thanks.

@slcpunk - I'm starting to think it might be related to persistent cookies rather than changes to GV itself. Try removing the password in your password manager for chrome://google-voice and remove all the cookies for google.com and let me know if that does anything.

MemberChad....I'm the author of OneDialer. Several of my users have begun having the same issue on my mobile app. What is unique about most cell phones is that they can either use wifi or carrier data plans. A majority have reported that when they are using a hotspot or home wifi, my program works fine, while if they use their carrier data plan, it stops working with the return that we get for a failure post. This scenario also plays out in a reverse manner in the minority of cases. I, like you, cannot find anyone willing to lend their account. Email me with any ideas that you have, and I'll do the same as we go. jeremy atta onetouchsolutions dotta net
