TamperMonkey Script

[Ssieth]

New version: 1.54.0

• The snippets menu no longer automatically updates after you edit/add/delete snippets.  This was breaking some things.  I'll get that working again in another release
• You can now include %sel% inside a snippet (make sure that it's lowercase) and it will replace that bit with the selected text when you use the snippet.  If there is no selected text then it just puts the snippet in as usual

Sorting snippets - the good news is that you don't need to wait for me to do it.  From the menu: Script Settings / Sort Snippets.  That pops up a screen where you can choose alphabetic or custom.  Select custom and drag and drop them to where you want them.  The system should remember the ordering.  Categories still come before uncategorized snippets... extra feature to change this later on....

You ROCK!

How exactly does the word count.. well, count? I've noticed that the word count that the script records on posts does not match the word count in, say, Word, usually off by 2-5 words, sometimes more. It's not that big of a deal, of course, but something I noticed and wondered about on how it calculated the word count and what made it so different from the word count of Word or any other word processor.

[Ssieth]

I suspect that Word does something cleverer than the script.  The script basically:

• Takes the text of the post and replaces every group of whitespace characters (tabs, newlines, spaces etc) and replaces them with a single space
• Splits the text up into an array of things separated by spaces (which is approximately an array of words)
• Returns the count of items in that array

Hi SSieth!

Is it possible to display the bookmark tags on the bookmarks page (as another column for example)?

Hi SSieth!

Is it possible to display the bookmark tags on the bookmarks page (as another column for example)?

So - for each bookmark, which tags it has?

I think I could do something along those lines.   Would you want any particular behaviour for clicking the tags?

[Al Terego]

Hmmm, good question.

Reality manipulation would be nice, but I'm not sure if Tampermonkey has implemented the prerequisite API.

Maybe changing the active filter?
What do the other users think?

[Nymphadora]

I definitely like the idea of tags. Great suggestion Al!

Personally (after looking at the images you gave as examples, I don't think they would need a column (unless the script required it or that made it easier)

Being able to click on one of the tags that changes the list of bookmarks sounds like a lot of work but would be very cool. I have no idea if that's even possible... I guess that would be what you mean by "Changing the active filter"

But any sort of useful tags would be very cool!

[Ssieth]

OK - will add the listing of tags and having them go to the relevant BM list for the next feature release version (as opposed to oh-hell-there-was-a-bug version) :)

At the moment, at least, the Script's bookmarking tools don't play nice with the new codebase- if the script is on, the BMs page opens and immediately collapses to nothingness.  The problem goes away if I turn the script off outright; still testing.

Also, script setting are no longer available on the header, so...no way to tweak and test that I can find.

Forgive me if this is already mentioned, but I looked through this thread and didn't see it anywhere. How do I turn off the script? I found it once on the old layout, but I can't seem to find it with the new one. It's not letting me see any of my bookmarks.

Thanks!

In the top right, you should have a button for extensions. Look for tampermonkey or greasemonkey and click it. Should be a little toggle for "elliquiy improver". Click, refresh, good to go.

Should also be able to do it in your manage extensions menu on your browser, if the script isn't pinned.

Oh man glad I checked in here! I was having the same bookmark issue. I just went into my extensions an turned Tampermonkey off for now. that fixed it. hopefully Sseith doesn't have to do too much to get the script to play nice with the new website. i don't know much about coding, but i know it's a royal pain the butt when something goes wrong.

You are AWESOME! Thank you :)

[Ssieth]

Sorry - wasn't aware there were posts in here... losing email notifications threw me in a bit of a spin.

For the moment, I'd advise turning the script off as it's broken in so many ways as a result of the current look of the site.

I'm not planning to do any work on it (despite desperately wanting my snippets back) until we're told that E is as close to the old normal as it's going to get.  At that point I'll get it up and running with a focus on bookmarks and snippets first :)

[Wistful Dream]

Thank you for all the work you've done over the years, the script was such a massive improvement to my experience. <3

[Nowherewoman]

Thanks, Cabbit!  Figured it wouldn't make much sense to do intermediate patches, since they'll likely get borked again by code updates.  Hope you're good!  Miss you!

[Nymphadora]

Piling on the thanks! Have been a happy user of it for years! Hopefully things calm enough for you to work on it when you can.

Many thanks for what you did for us!

[Al Terego]

And more love from my direction as well!

[Ssieth]

OK - I am an impatient little cabbit so I have begun work on fixing stuff up, even if it's only an interim solution (I miss my snippets and BM organization too much).

Progress so far:

• The script is actually loading fully again (initially it just threw its toys out of the pram)
• BM categories are displaying sa expected
• Context-menu snippets are working OK
• I have been able to add new snippets

This is all from very preliminary testing on my part, and I'm going to use the script a bit more before I release an update. Notably - I've not tested adding new bookmarks, deleting bookmarks etc...  More for the coming days.

I hope to have something to produce release that is a basic it-is-sort-of-working script somewhere around mid week.  If there are any areas not mentioned above that people would like me to prioritize, I would be happy to take some guidance on where to focus my efforts :)

Oh - and thank you all for your kind words :)

[Ssieth]

Additional features confirmed as working:

• Speech styling

You are amazeballs!

You are awesome SSieth!
