[plugin] SketchUp News Browser

alexschreyer

Have you ever wanted to…

make sure you never miss a blog post by the Trimble SketchUp folks?
stay up-do-date with your favorite SketchUp blogs?
follow what’s going on at SketchUcation?
keep an eye on Twitter and Facebook?
make sure you never miss any of my blog posts?
do all of this while you are working with SketchUp?

Then consider yourself lucky! I just posted a SketchUp News plugin that lets you do all of this – right inside SketchUp.

Even if you don’t usually use SketchUp plugins, this is the one to have!

Get your copy at the link below. Oh, and did I mention it is free?

SketchUp News Extension • [as]

This small extension adds a news browser to the SketchUp Help menu. Now you can follow news and tutorial blog posts but also tweets as well as forum discussions all in one place – without even leaving SketchUp! Clicking a link will get you to the original article (on the source website).

Alex,
I wrote this as I was trying different things to get into your news plugin. I finally got it
to work, but don't want to rewrite the whole message, so just in case it gives you
any useful information, I'm sending it as is
.
Begin original message--------------------------------------------------

What a perfect idea.

I'm trying to make it work, but may not have done it right.

I downloaded the RBZ version first and tried to install it. I got an error message...
"Unable to install this extension for some unknown reason"

So... I downloaded the .rb version and tried that.
It did not download as a Zip.
I put it into the plugins as shown in the attached,
started SU (in both attempts) and it does not show up on the Help Menu.

Any ideas about what I might do differently?

Relative info? iMac OSX 10.8.3 2.7GHz Intel Core i5

Just to be thorough, I also tried to install on an older iMac with OSX 10.5.8.
and IT WORKED!

Never mind!
