  • click on "Add < Search in OWR >"
  • now OWR is in the list, you just have to select it, and enter your keywords !

• adding a stream externally

  • you NEED to be logged in
  • the url will be like http://yourdomain.tld/PATH/TO/OWR/?do=add&url=[the_url] or http://yourdomain.tld/PATH/TO/OWR/add?url=[the_url] following your configuration

• adding OpenWebReader to your dynamic bookmarks reader (Firefox example)

  • type "about:config" in the url bar
  • READ and accept the warning
  • in the search field, type "browser.contentHandlers.types", you will see examples like google or netvibes
  • add the three lines corresponding at your configuration, like those examples : => name="browser.contentHandlers.types.6.title" value="OpenWebReader" => name="browser.contentHandlers.types.6.type" value="application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed" => name="browser.contentHandlers.types.6.uri" value="https://yourdomain.tld/PATH/TO/OWR/?do=add&url=%s"
