    Um, how the hell do I install this? Your instructions are beyond vague, and when I click on the installer it just opens up Chrome and nothing else. I do not see a new PageRank section or anything.

     

    • Vasanth Dharmaraj

      June 1, 2009 at 12:45 PM

      You have to start Chrome with the –enable-extensions parameter. Then click on the link to install it. Nothing else needed…

    @ James Hartig:

    I deleted all extensions in Chrome. Installed the gmail extension first then the Page Rank extension.

    Both of them seem to work as expected. Do you have any other extensions installed like AdSweep?

     

    • James Hartig

      June 3, 2009 at 4:42 PM

      Nope. I will clear out all the extensions and wipe the extension cache and try again (with the newest build as of now).

       

      • James Hartig

        June 3, 2009 at 5:08 PM

        I can’t figure out the problem, but when I moved your script tag to the header and added a   in the prValue span tag, everything worked fine. Now it seems to be working.

         

  9. James Hartig

    June 3, 2009 at 5:13 PM

    Also, make sure you add escape(baseurl) to the getpr function or Google will return a nasty message and not the pagerank.

     

    • Vasanth Dharmaraj

        I had the same problems and I fixed it. I have told Vasanth the required changes to fix it, and he as not yet fixed it.

        Goto chrome://extensions/ and install your current page rank extension then install my fixed version here:

    Thanks James. I have incorporated your fix into the extension.

     

  13. Ed Brancheau

    June 10, 2009 at 5:32 PM

    I have followed the directions but for some reason when I open the extension with Chrome, it just keeps opening extension in a new tab and downloading it over and over again. If I let it run, I think it would go on indefinitely. Bizarre

     

    • Vasanth Dharmaraj

      June 11, 2009 at 3:05 PM

      Strange. Looks like the latest Chrome dev release is very very buggy. I will wait for a stable build to check this out.

      With the current build (3.0.189.0) there is a bug preventing installing extensions by just clicking on the link. You have to download the extension by right clicking the link and choose Save link as… Once downloaded double click on the extension to install it.

    In the newest builds, the pr_checker.html is duplicated, showing “Page Rank: x” twice. Is this a chrome problem?

    PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves ‘important’ weigh more heavily and help to make other pages ‘important

    Also, to get it installed I had to right click the link and open it in a new tab. A direct left click showed ‘couldn’t install extensions, can’t open file’

      Right click the shortcut that launches Chrome. Go to properties. In the Target textbox add –enable-extensions following chrome.exe. Remember to have a space after chrome.exe. Now start Chrome with this shortcut. Extensions should be enabled.

    July 9, 2009 at 2:10 AM

    You may have to try changing the key. when other programs open chrome for mail such as from MSN, it does not open the short cut you have added the –extensions to. It opens it from a ‘key’ location. You will have to change that to make it always work.

    • Vasanth Dharmaraj

      July 10, 2009 at 10:50 AM

      Don’t worry about the key. Just use –enable–extensions.
