Google removed the extension from the Chrome webstore

[eddex]

The extension can't be found on the Chrome webstore anymore.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hslu-simple-mep-results/bkcgbpgefenaapagldnnabfakilmfihp leads to a 404.

RIP

Isn't there a chrome webstore account that should have been notified what happened with the extension and how to get it back online?

[Lextum]

@simonbaumeler Yes there is. We reason was the permission "webRequest" we apparently don't use. I migrated to v3 and removed the permission. But I can't test if it still works. Could you check out the branch manifest_v3 and try it out? Please tell me, if you need help installing the extension directly from source.

[Lextum]

@eddex We definitely need to give this project to STAIR or have some maintainers that have access to MyCampus.

I believe you can ignore this error. The extension should still load inside MyCampus.

[simonbaumeler]

The extension does not load when opening the "Meine Anmeldungen" site.

[Lextum]

Can you remove this part from the manifest and try again?

[simonbaumeler]

I'll try tomorrow 👍🏼

[simonbaumeler]

i removed the part from the manifest and got no error to start with afterwards but when loading the "meine Anmeldungen" page the extension still did not load.

hello @Lextum

I hope you are well. How is the status here?

[Lextum]

Hello @simonbaumeler

Sorry, I completely forget about this issue. I contacted the Google Support and tried to resubmit the extension but they insisted on removing the WebRequest permission. Neither @eddex nor myself have access to MyCampus, so we can't test or try to find a solution for this problem. I you want to help us find a solution or can prove somehow that this permission is needed, I am happy to reupload the extension.

[simonbaumeler]

Hello @Lextum

Thank you for your Feedback, I've reached out to STAIR in order to organise something to keep this nice extension alive and up-to-date. Also if you tell me what to check for i can help you find a solution or we could even have a session on Discord in which i could show you everything you need on mycampus.

[Lextum]

Hi @simonbaumeler

Sure, we can try to find a solution together. Just send me a PM on discord at Letum#5528. If you want to start some research, I would say the error you got in an answer above is a good starting point.
