j.r.l. Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Hello, My home page is set to google.com in Opera 8 but when I go to "New page" (new tab) it makes a tab with about:blank, I would like it to use google.com. How do I do that? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/311004-opera-open-new-tab-with-home-page/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuke Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 don't know how to do that, but u can double click on the blank page to open the homepage... btw, if u want to search sth using google, try typing "g stuff" in your address bar, that's faster...

ozgeek Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I was just about to post about that. :D I have made a custom start page with my favourite links and some search bars. I would like that page to load instead of about:blank.

STNG Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) mr.roberts Replace all default "New tab" actions with new actions you want. Follow instruction. 1. Open your toolbar.ini in any text editor and create NEW button with new action. Add these lines into your toolbar.ini to any toolbar or panel that you want to add: ButtonX, "Newpage"="New page, , , "New page" & Go to page, "hтtp://yourserver.domain/your_custom_start_page.html"" (Note: where X is order number of button) (Note: htтp://yourserver.domain/your_custom_start_page.html - your startup page address) Always use this button to create new tab. You can remove original "New tab" button now. 2. If you using keyboard shortcut Ctrl+N you can edit your keyboard shortcuts setup: Set Ctrl+N combination to new action: New page & Go to page, "htтp://yourserver.domain/your_custom_start_page.html" 3. If you using mouse gestures you can assign GestureDown to new action: New page & Go to page, "htтp://yourserver.domain/your_custom_start_page.html" (You can find mouse setup at Preferences - Advanced - Shortcuts - Mouse setup) Also you can use your_custom_start_page.html located in your computer's disk(localhost). It is faster loads and don't need internet connection. Use file://file_path/file.html address type. It's work fine. Good look.

ozgeek Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Thank you for your post, STNG. I only got standard_toolbar (1).ini in my Toolbars folder in my Opera profile. Did you mean to edit this one? My homepage is a custom made page stored on my disk, yes, but has a weather section that is the only thing on the page that needs the internet, when I try to load this page while off the internet, it will automatically hide the weather section. Very useful :) Wanna see it? See below: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/311004-opera-open-new-tab-with-home-page/#findComment-585807769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
STNG Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 mr.roberts Quote I only got standard_toolbar (1).ini in my Toolbars folder in my Opera profile. Did you mean to edit this one? Yes, you must edit your standard_toolbar (1).ini. But don't forget close Opera before! But! You can use more simple method. You can use Button Generator - http://mongoose.myopera.net/button_maker.php Sorry, russian language available only. Button Generator by Mongoose can easily create button you want. Just fill all fields as on screenshot and drag generated button into any toolbar or panel.

ozgeek Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Wonderful! Did the trick. Thank you STNG. Now I have a button in my tab bar that replaced the default New Page button with my own New Button linking to my custom start page. Thank you. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/311004-opera-open-new-tab-with-home-page/#findComment-585811788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
