- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15165830, 5 years agoIt worked very well and the feature that you can sync Bookmark folders is pretty nice. However, since the upgrade to the newest Nextcloud/Bookmark version it has an error:
Nextcloud log: Call to undefined function gmp_init()
Edit: Now it works again, thanks for the help :)Developer response
posted 5 years agoThe latest version of the bookmarks app requires a few additional php extensions as dependencies: gmp, intl and mbstring - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15158864, 5 years agoThis add-on made a mess of my bookmarks. It did not respect my bookmark folders or order, and ignored the folder I told it to make on the server side.
Nice try, would have loved to use it, but it is useless as it is now.Developer response
posted 5 years agoI'm sorry for the trouble you had to go through. Possible reasons for why it may not have worked are, enabled Firefox sync, an outdated addon-version, an incompatible bookmarks app version among others. If you want you can drop me a mail and I can help you make it work. :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15105122, 5 years agoWebdavs work, but nextcloud keeps saying "E019: HTTP status 500. Failed GET request. Check your server configuration and log." It is my own nextcloud install- with bookmarks 1.0.6

posted 5 years agoIf you want, you can contact me via mail, to sort this out. Have you checked the nextcloud log? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15098752, 5 years agoProbably the only addon that supports sync on selected folders (not all bookmarks).
One feature i miss is support to force pull/push sync, sometimes i don't want to merge. - Rated 5 out of 5by Doncho Gunchev, 6 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12595753, 6 years agoFunktionierte bei ersten Tests recht gut. Danke! Leider werden keine Tags synchronisiert. Die benötigt man für die Andriod App, da diese nun wieder keine Ordner kann. Ich werde sicher in 1...2 Jahren nochmal vorbei schauen. Danke!

Ich vermute stark, dass es sich lohnen wird in weniger als einem Jahr nochmal vorbeizuschauen. Es wird bereits an einer neuen version einer Android app gearbeitet... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14540174, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14052748, 6 years agoIt work's great, but it will be better (why it's only 4 star) if this app use oauth or the second factor (like u2f or otp), for the connexion, because i don't like the application password

- Rated 5 out of 5by Martin, 6 years agoFirst: works as it should without any restriction, very very good extension both for Firefox and my Nextcloud. Fifth star not assigned in fact that there's no Firefox add-on for Android version and so it is not usable for me for I don't have other devices to sync than my Android ones.
A minor proposal: A list view of the bookmarks like in Firefox itself would increase usability. The graphics for each bookmark are a bit large and if you have hundreds like me or maybe a thousand of them you're forced to scroll a lot or to use the search bar extensively.
Appendix: The list view is a comfortable advantage, thanks a lot.Developer response
posted 6 years agoRegarding your proposal: Nextcloud Bookmarks now features a list view :) - Rated 5 out of 5by ThumbOne, 6 years agoWhen Xmarks disappeared I was stuck for a while. But then I installed a NextCloudPi server at home which was pretty easy and has a load of benefits beside, and found floccus. It was was not working when I first tried it, but Marcel has been chipping away at it beautifully and as of version 3 it's well and truly slick and a satisfactory Xmarks replacement!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13934898, 6 years agoTranslated by DeepL. Sorry about the possible nonsense:
It works fine, but why can't it be used with Firefox Sync active? FF Sync is essential for many people who use tab synchronization, password synchronization, history, sessions, plug-ins... I don't want to give up all that just to be able to synchronize my bookmarks, especially when I can also synchronize them with FF Sync, I just prefer to have them in my private cloud.
Please correct that important flaw, because it's a shame we can't have the best of both worlds.

> but why can't it be used with Firefox Sync active?
This reason is nothing that can easily be worked around, I'm afraid: Firefox sync changes bookmark IDs when it syncs bookmarks. Floccus needs those to be persistent, however, to detect the correct changes in the bookmarks tree. I know that this is not ideal. If you are willing to give up some features of Firefox Sync, however, there are other extensions that work quite well with self-hosted servers like nextcloud as well to sync e.g. passswords.
In any case: Thanks for you feedback!

This add-on does what it's advertised to do, very easy to setup and uncomplicated. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13972392, 7 years agoHabe leider ähnliche Probleme wie andere Nutzer hier, versuche die Lesezeichen mit meiner NextCloud zu synchronisieren und es kommt der Fehler "Invalid bookmark: {"guid":"unfiled______}"
Gibt es hier keinen Workaround oder liegt die Ursache wirklich beim Autor der bookmarks App für Nextcloud?
EDIT:
Danke ich habe den Tipp mal versucht und versucht nur "Lesezeichen-Menü" zu synchronisieren, dann kommt aber nach einer Weile der Fehler "Trying to create a URL that is already bookmarked. This shouldn't happen! Please tell the developer about this!"
Offenbar wurde hier ein Teil doch schon synchronisiert, finde in NextCloud aber nicht heraus, wo ich diesen löschen kann...Developer response

Danke für das Feedback! Ich konnte den urpsrünglichen Fehler nun reproduzieren und ihn im neusten release beseitigen. Der Zweite Fehler ist höchstwahrscheinlich ein Fehler in der Bookmarks app, den ich gerade versuche zu beheben.
In der aktuell verfügbaren Version von bookmarks kann man leider nicht mehrere Bookmarks auf einmal bearbeiten/löschen, aber die bald herauskommende neue Version wird das unterstützen. - Rated 4 out of 5by zxMarce, 7 years agoInstalled Floccus and registered an account in OwnDrive to backup bookmarks. The addon never synced.
At the left of the "Options" and "Sync Now" buttons it says "X Error!" and immediately below the buttons an error description says "JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data".
No idea what to do, error is not self-explanatory and does not give any hints regarding which JSON is crippled, nor a dump of such file; checked the GitHub site but could not make heads nor tails of the code (not a JS dev, more of a C# and VB.Net one I am).
Checked account "https://my.owndrive.com/" with my username and password and it browses OK. Would like the author to try an OwnDrive account, as they say it supports NextCloud, and post his findings, or at least a basic tutorial on how to set up Floccus with a third-party server, not just with localhost. I am not really sure of the URL to use; tried several (taken from the site being browsed in Firefox) to no avail. I'm sure I'm the one doing something wrong, but there are no good working examples of Floccus setups in the Mozilla not Addon Home pages.
Using FF 59.0.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 16.04.

EDIT 1: Cannot reply to your reply, so using this edit.
Thanks a lot for the response.
No, I did not enable or install a Bookmarks app, and my guess is that I would have to do that on OwnDrive.
OwnDrive has its own applet that one would drag to FF Bookmarks to upload, but I guess that is not the one you refer to. Also, no versions given.
Can you help me providing an adequate Bookmarks App link? If it has install instructions for third-party servers like OwnDrive, much better.
==============================================
EDIT 2: Cannot reply to your reply, so using this edit.
Also tried Wolkli, does not even have a Bookmarks secction, looks like they removed it.
None of OwnDrive or Wolkli allow adding apps to their free accounts. So the addon isn't any good to me. It could work for people that have their own NextCloud server, but not my case. Too bad.
In view of this, I'll give 4 stars to the addon.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHey there, it looks like you don't have the bookmarks app installed, versoin 0.11 of which is required for floccus to work. Please confirm. :)
EDIT: Thanks for your feedback. I can recommend checking one of the providers listed over here: https://nextcloud.com/providers/ - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13878424, 7 years agoThanks for your great work so far.
Gave you some little support on liberapay - and this is what other people explaining here should do as well - this an open source application developed by one guy in his freetime. I value that.
Firefox Android Support
The main feature currently missing for me is the firefox android support. This hasn't been done yet because of missing support of the API in firefox android. If anyone like me wants to speed up this feature - he can donate here:

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12588389, 7 years agoThanks for adding folder/tag support! Firefox Bookmark sync has been iffy and XMarks really spoiled me until it went down the tubes.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13924785, 7 years agoBeim Versuch meine Bookmarksammlung mit Floccus und Nextcloud zu synchronisieren, bekomme ich eine völlig unverständliche Fehlermeldung:
Error! invalid Bookmark: {"guid":"mobile______"}
Diese Art von geheimnisvolle Fehlermeldung, die nicht zurückzuführen ist auf ein konkretes Lesezeichen, ist ein absolutes NoGo. Eine Fehlermeldung, die nur für den Programierer zu deuten ist, hat in ein Userprogramm nichts zu suchen. (Auch ein "invalides" Lesezeichen liegt in klartext vor, und kann als solches gezeigt werden!Developer response
posted 7 years agoHallo,
Vielen Dank für das Feedback! Ich kann die Frustration sehr gut verstehen. Leider kommt bei komplexer Software nicht jede Fehlermeldung vom tatsächlichen Programm und kann auch nicht immer vom Programmierer vorhergesehen werden. Es handelt sich hierbei tatsächlich um einen bug im Programm, der bereits gemeldet wurde und an dem gearbeitet wird. Bugs wird es immer geben. Fehlermeldungen, die nicht auf Nutzerfehler zurückzuführen sind, sind damit nicht verhinderbar und leider per Definition nicht immer verständlich. Ich kann daher nur raten, die Erwartungen an von freiwilligen produzierter Software nicht zu hoch anzusetzen, und auch wenn die Software im jetzigen Zustand für Sie möglicherweise momentan nicht nutzbar ist, nicht gleich aufzugeben.
Ich arbeite daran. :)
