如何从Chrome网上应用店修改扩展程序？ [英] How to modify an extension from the Chrome Web Store?

问题描述

我在Chrome网上应用店看到了此扩展程序，它显示YouTube频道的最新视频。我希望修改此扩展程序，以便使其可以用于其他渠道。

如何完成此操作？

解决方案

您有两个选择： 联系扩展的开发人员，

编辑源代码

我将解释如何修改扩展名并安装它， 。

获取源代码并修改它

1. 安装 Chrome扩展源查看器。


2. 转到您要修改的扩展程序的Chrome网上应用店页面。


3. 点击黄色CRX按钮，然后选择下载（截图）。


4. 解压zip文件。 阅读源代码并更改什么需要改变（在你的特定情况下，我很快就发现你想改变编辑 config.js 并改变channel属性）。保存更改。

使用扩展名的修改版本。

6. 访问Chrome扩展程序页面（ chrome：// extensions / ）。
   
7. 通过在右上角的复选框中勾选启用开发者模式。


8. 点击加载解压扩展名按钮。


9. 选择你的扩展的文件夹（要知道哪个文件夹是正确的，检查文件夹是否包含一个名为 manifest.json 的文件。）


10. 确认。您完成了。

除非您在这些步骤（包括修改源代码）中犯了错误，修改后的扩展应该按预期工作。

道德规范

修改个人使用的扩展程序并不是什么大问题。但是，未经原始开发者同意，不分发此扩展程序。原作者在创建扩展时做了很多努力，甚至可能会有他/她的联系方式。如果您发布扩展的（修改后的）副本，原作者无法再更新扩展，所以他/她无法解决错误。

更糟糕的是，如果您将扩展转换成不良形状，用户会向原作者投诉，因为他们的联系信息已经存在。

I've seen this extension in the Chrome Web store, which shows the newest videos of a YouTube channel. I want to modify this extension in order to make it work with a different channel.

How can I get this done?

解决方案

You've got two options:

1. Contact the extension's developer, and ask for assistance.
2. Edit the source code

I'm going to explain how you can modify an extension, and install it, in easy terms.

Getting the source and modifying it

1. Install the Chrome extension source viewer.
2. Go to the page in the Chrome Web Store of the extension you want to modify.
3. Click on the yellow CRX button, and choose Download (screenshot).
4. Extract the zip file.
5. Read the source code, and change what needs to be changed (in your particular case, I had quickly identified that you wanted to change edit config.js and change the "channel" property). Save the changes.

Using the modified version of the extension.

6. Visit the Chrome extension page (chrome://extensions/).
7. Enable Developer mode, by putting a check on the checkbox in the upper-right corner.
8. Click on the "Load unpacked extension" button.
9. Select the folder of your extension (to know which folder is correct, check whether the folder contains a file called manifest.json).
10. Confirm. You're done.

Unless you've made a mistake in either of these steps (including the modification of the source code), the modified extension should work as intended.

Ethics

Modifying someone else's extension for personal use is not a big deal. However, do not distribute this extension without the original developer's consent. The original author has put lots of efforts in creating the extension, and might even have his/her contact details on it. If you distribute a (modified) copy of the extension, the original author cannot update the extension any more, so s/he cannot resolve bugs.
Even worse, if you turn the extension in a bad shape, users will complain to the original author, because their contact details are on it.
