friendfeedCommentAnchor - New User script & Bookmarklet to add a permalink to each comment - http://wittman.org/project...
 |
Nimaa, /Users/genieyclo, Simon Wicks and 35 other people liked this
friendfeedCommentAnchor [v0.1.0] - http://wittman.org/project... - A user script, a bookmarklet and an alternative configuration userscript (has autoCommentAnchor turned ON). To add a permalink to each comment. The hyperlinked text default is "#" (you can change it in the Configuration section to "permalink", "linky", etc in the user script). Works in single post and stream modes. Tested on Firefox and Safari.
- Micah Wittman
Special Note ~ Post image: NOT A HASH TAG :)
- Micah Wittman
I started the group ffhacks to house a concise listing of user scripts: http://friendfeed.com/ffhacks . If you have a script that works on the current version of FriendFeed, and you're its author, write a comment on http://friendfeed.com/ffhacks... with the link and I'll share the original friendfeed post to the group.
- Micah Wittman
Does it only work to other users with the script enabled?
- Andrew Trinh
The anchor is the comment <div> container id which has been there all along; there simply has not been a user interface to conveniently access it. So yes, a URL with the anchor will work for anyone regardless of script usage (tested in Firefox & Safari).

Wow! Great work.

ianf, yep. I try anyway. I remember one or two conversations you had anchors - I've wanted access them for a while too. Cheers!
- Micah Wittman
#hashanchors should have been there by default, so that you could spend your time on more creative things rather than fixing FF. In fact, absence of this key element of hypertext, granular addressability, tells me that FFeeders really do not care for comments - they're ffodder to the OPs, which are the only ones that rank anything in the hierarchy of submissions around here. I don't...

I was thinking about settings up a private group on FF for the people I work with. I think it would be better than sending tons of emails back and forth, and a great place to collaborate. Has anyone done this? How is it going?

Check out Socialcast - TechCrunch talked about them yesterday - the "FriendFeed for business" http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
- Mike Bracco
Mike, I was actually just looking at them. Seems pretty cool. I was trying to make FF my central hub for as many things as possible, so I will see how that goes.
- Shawn Hickman
Shawn - gotcha :) Yeah FF is becoming my central hub these days too. It's nice to have a service that can integrate with everything else like FF does. It definitely beats having to go to a bunch of different places on the web.
- Mike Bracco
I just need FF to integrate into a client like Seesmic Desktop or Tweetdeck so I can have the trifecta of FB/Twitter/FF in one place.
- Mike Bracco
That's what I am waiting for too. I would love to have nothing but FF open in my browser all day. I wonder how Google Wave will affect this.
- Shawn Hickman
Shawn, we are 10 + many freelance consultants, depending on the project. What I'm really missing now is a way to "open" single threads to externals (customers). Looks like Google Wave might be more effective for this - that would be a problem because I love FF.
- PiccoloImprenditore
Use "YAMMER" http://www.yammer.com/ or Socialcast.
- Alp
piccolo, thanks for the info. It is going to be interesting to see how FF reacts to Google Wave.
- Shawn Hickman
Alp, thanks. I am looking into both. Do you use any of them?
- Shawn Hickman
Yammer is great. We use it for a team of 6 and it's perfect. I even have it set up to come to my SMS so I am reachable when I'm out of the office.
- Ward Seward
We use Yammer as well, and it works reasonably well for us (w/o the 140 char limit). Yet to figure to SMS it, as most of our use is asynch and not time critical.

Mike B: twhirl supports twitter and friendfeed, still lacks facebook though
- Mike Chelen
We have been playing with this in the group that I work with and it does have some use. We have found that some things like task assignments seem to still work best in email. We do find it useful to have short conversations about new sites that we have found and about designs that we are working on. There have been instances deep within a 'discussion' where we really wish we had some threading features.

I do believe FF could become a very efficient collaboration platform for business, but there are only few known success stories. If it worked for you, please tell us how and why http://friendfeed.com/friendf....

Beta hack: FF bookmarklet replacement js with drag&drop support - http://appsapps.info/ff...
Aaron Kurtz, gp, Willem and 39 other people liked this
A friend of mine modded this to add drag & drop support to the form after I complained that I couldn't include an image in a post because the form was in upper right of page and I couldn't move it to get to the image to select it. You can host it yourself or use my copy. Just replace the URL in your bookmarklet to use this js script instead. It still needs some tweaking, but it does work...the form can be dragged around the page by the blue bar.
- April Russo
Ok...it's finished. It might have issues with IE though
- April Russo
Checked on Chrome?
- Majento
The guy that did the mod doesn't have a FF account to test with, and I don't have chrome to test it myself.
- April Russo
It should work in all browsers that it worked in before. The IE issues were pre-existing and he didn't fix them. They aren't his bugs to fix.
- April Russo
How do I use this code?
- Justin Rains
get the bookmarklet from here first: http://friendfeed.com/share... Then replace the URL in it with the URL to the edited script file that I supplied (or host it yourself and use your own URL)

"ctrl -" ..that will make the text smaller, enable you to reach that pic/text .................. how about a bookmarklet to post to Blogger?
- Petr Buben
I didn't do this. This is someone else's work. I have a loathe of programming languages containing curly braces, which includes Javascript, so I won't be editing it to add any new features. And Blogger already has a posting bookmarklet: http://help.blogger.com/bin...

Have you ever tried the Posterous Bookmarklet? I think it's one of the best around. It pulls everything off a page and allows you to choose what you want. It's similar to the FFeed one in a way, but I would like something like it, but combine it with the ability to pull in more than three pictures in at a time. Don't get me wrong, I love the FFeed one too, but there's something elegant about the way the Posterous one works.

Michael: How well does Posterous stuff import to Friendfeed? If it were possible to import more than 3 pictures, that would be nice.
- Mike Chelen
Mike. Posterous imports well using the Custom RSS/atom feed , but I recall seeing a message from Gary, one of their founders, mentioning that he would like to have better integration with friendfeed. Before I enter the feed, I first run it through fflow, which gives me a MediaRSS feed which tends to display larger pictures. I use it on all my feeds. Love it. Here's the URL: http://www.fflow.net/...
- Michael Fidler
Michael: cool, fflow looks similar to feed buster http://feed-buster.appspot.com/ which i use heavily for multimedia import to friendfeed. will have to try them side by side and see if there are any differences. thanks for the tip!

friendfeedTranslate - Update [v0.2] - Real-time! - http://wittman.org/project...
Dobromir Hadzhiev, Chris Charabaruk ￣ω￣, Mike Chelen and 34 other people liked this
Real-time translation can now be performed in a feed stream (not just in single post view). Using the bookmarklet (btw, you're previous version bookmarklet will auto-update), click to start auto translation each time you navigate to a new page ... With the user script, turn on auto-translate in Configuration as follows: autoTranslateEnabled = true; var autoTranslateRealtimeEnabled = true; ... In a feed stream, only the translation is shown, in a single post view both original text and translation shown. Note that some posts appear as a foreign language to the Google Translate API, sometimes triggered by simply by having a link or non-dictionary word in the text. So expect some false positives (highlighted in yellow, yet are essentially the same before and after translation) ... Original release ff post: http://friendfeed.com/friendf...

UPDATE RELEASE [v0.1.2] - Added auto-language detection handling (in Configuration, you can set an explicit language with var languageCodeFrom; the default is set to auto-detect). Also added an autoTranslate option in Configuration. To automatically translate title/comments when a single entry page is loaded, set var autoTranslateEnabled = true;
- Micah Wittman
well done!!
- K.D.
No problem, K.D. This feels like the most important user script I've worked on. I hope everyone who needs it can find it :)

thank you again, I'll share this script to other groups, the auto-detection is unbelievable cool!!

This is probably great, and this is going to sound like a stupid question. How do I make this work? View a single entry? How do you do that?

FOR ALL AVAILABLE GOOGLE TRANSLATION API SUPPORTED LANGUAGES SEE CODES HERE: http://code.google.com/apis... - Then in the script's Configuration section, change var languageCodeTo = 'en' to whatever code matches the language you want a post translated TO.
- Micah Wittman
This is great, Micah... I've been mystified why that last piece is always missing... the auto-translate from languages you don't understand. This really should be built into the low-levels of twitter, friendfeed, etc., so that static stuff is translated once and shared if poss., the dynamic stuff just cache invalidates any translations.... or something like that.

SCRIPT UPDATE HERE: http://friendfeed.com/friendf...

SCRIPT UPDATE [v0.1.5] - Added autoProtocolMatchingEnabled and onlyUseSecureProtocolCompatibleFeatures Configuration options. Now a secure protocol (https) for the current page is detected and all script references will be set to https in that case. Since userscripts.org does not support https, the onlyUseSecureProtocolCompatibleFeatures options controls whether to use that feature (which connects with http) or not. ~~~ As requested here: http://friendfeed.com/baiyssy...

SCRIPT UPDATE [v0.1.6] - Fix to v0.1.5 so that onlyUseSecureProtocolCompatibleFeatures only prevents feature use if a secure connection is present.

It would be a valuable add-on to any browser, but I can't see why they chose IE first out of all the browsers out there…not even Chrome? I do like the way Micah has done the translation, you would know what's being translated but it also means you end up with double the amount of text on a page.

Another project I'm considering: a more thorough breakout of a user's activity on FF (number of posts per service, like count, number of subs and group memberships). Perhaps using this data as a metric to determine whether or not somebody is an active FF user or just somebody who signs up and lets their stream show up here without much interaction

Would anybody find this useful?
- Brett Kelly
personally, not really. I think I can guess fairly well by just looking at the numbers and glancing through the feed. However, others here may find that to be useful.
- Kamilah Gill
I think statistics are interesting. FF aggregates content, but I'd still need to go to each service to find out which I use the most. I could see a "friendfeed zeitgeist" coming out of this. And details on which services are used the most, and how they overlap, would be good marketing and integration details that FF could use to make the entire service better (of course, I'm sure this kind of stuff is already collected and reported on, it's just not public).
- Andy Bakun
Andy - the only potential issue is how far back the API lets you go. Also, I'd rather avoid doing any sort of queued-job thing where you submit a request and it notifies you an hour later after it's done. I'm a programmer and I'm lazy, what can I say :)
- Brett Kelly
Laziness in this context is properly defined as how much work you're willing to do beyond whatever amount of work gets you whatever it is you think you need. Which is why other people's wants don't play into much other than as inspiration.
- Andy Bakun
As for using it as a metric to determine whether or not somebody is an active FF user, you don't need significant historical data for that, only recent stuff.
- Andy Bakun
It would be nice to see a "Friendfeed app", that actually adds some value, unlike most "twitter apps". It would be useful if just did it for everyone, but even a site that showed running stats over time, after one "signed up", so you know which accounts to monitor (then the capability of the API to access historical data isn't as much of an issue), would be interesting. Throw some pretty graphs and comparison between users, and you'd have something that neither facebook nor twitter have decent apps for.
- Andy Bakun
Maybe interesting for me, but I'm not sure if it could be the same for other people. I suggest to show addictional information only expanding default informations by clicking on a "+" sign

much needed mod
- MikeAmundsen
Ok, thanks for the feedback everyone here. I just posted v0.24 which now has some key layout/style options in a Configuration section near the top of the script. The default position of the "[ Comment ]" link is left (instead of centred). I had originally gone with centred because I found my mouse pointer was thereabouts when I was wheel scrolling up and down the page, so it was a shortest-distance-to-the-target that drove the decision. But April's style is better looking, so it's the default config now :)
- Micah Wittman
how about combining with the expand comments button since it is only needed on very long discussions
- Mike Chelen
Mike Chelen, but an important use case is you've already expanded a long thread, have read from top to bottom and are now ready to comment (the expand N more comments link is gone at that point).
- Micah Wittman
Issue with the latest update: It's adding like links to a user's own items, which as we all know you aren't allowed to like your own stuff.

Awesome. I'm going back to FF 3.0 to read FriendFeed until Greasemonkey is available for 3.5 (what's taking so long?)
- Brad Kligerman
How do we "disable enter key submits comment?"
- DarknessFalls
@DarknessFalls: Right-click the Greasemonkey icon. Select "Manage User Scripts..." Highlight the friendfeedCommentBottomLink script and click the "Edit" button. (If this is your first time doing this then you will be prompted to locate a text editor. Windows has Notepad.exe, and Mac has Textedit in Applications.) Find the enableEnterKeyDoesNewlineNotSubmit setting near the top of the script and change "false" to "true". Save the change and refresh the Friendfeed page and you're done.
- Andy Bold
@Micah: One thing that I have noticed - when you enable enableEnterKeyDoesNewlineNotSubmit the comment entry box does not resize. It stays stuck in single-line mode. I'm using Firefox 3.0.10 on Mac. :)
- Andy Bold
Andy, I must have something set wrong somewhere because when I try to edit, a window opens to the Firefox directory. No file to edit. Where does Greasemonkey store the scripts?
- Curtis Jackson
Alan, it will be different per machine, for instance Firefox stores my scripts something like: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\agf0etrd.default\gm_scripts\friendfeedcommentbottoml\friendfeedcommentbottoml.user.js But you don't have to go there directly if GreaseMonkey has been associated with a text editor. Right click, manage scripts, then there a button or checkbox of some sort that allows you to choose an editor (notepad.exe, or whatever).
- Micah Wittman
[[[ FUNCTIONALITY CAVEAT HERE ]]]: Andy, regarding box resizing - yes, I should state the caveat that (until I can figure out a way to achieve a more nuanced approach in the code) the keypress event bound to the comment box is disabled, which includes multi-line and re-sizing, and character count display (when it goes past the threshold). I'll make this clearer in the post. Thanks!
- Micah Wittman
Alan, What Micah said :-) Any Mac peeps reading this can find the scripts in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/SomeRandomString.default/gm_scripts
- Andy Bold
<ahem> After reading the Title Bar of the window, I now realize Greasemonkey was asking me for my default editor. Whoopsie!
- Curtis Jackson
No prob, Alan.
- Micah Wittman
Micah, thanks for clearing that up! I'll file it under "Feature" for now, and install this : http://userscripts.org/scripts... :-) (Been meaning to do this for a while anyway. It's one thing from Safari that I miss in Firefox - the ability to re-size any text box.) (Edit: Blah - script doesn't work. Never mind. :)
- Andy Bold
Alan : I just updated my original post. Thanks for reminding me that Greasemonkey does this! :-)
- Andy Bold
Andy, no problem. It's a shame Greasemonkey doesn't ask when it's installed. THAT would be the time I'd expect configuration questions. :)

- Harold
@Kol: not sure why my last comment didn't bump this back up to the current topics... but were you able to get this working on Vista & Chrome 2.0 ?

Harold, it's not just you. Chrome 2 has some odd hangup with certain general purpose code that should execute fine but doesn't. When I (or someone else - please let me know) figures it out, I'll update you. I'm sure it's frustrating for you, I know it is for me. Stay tuned :)
- Micah Wittman
Harold, I think the reason our comments aren't bumping this up to the top of this group is there's an algorithm that considers the age of the post (based on creation date I'm thinking) as part of the decision to bump to top or not upon additional comments.

@Micah, I started working on integrating the bottom comment with the Cleaner Friend Feed script. If I get it working, I'll be sure to let you know.

Micah: hey great, that would be cool, thanks for all these great FF tweaks, been having a lot of fun trying them out!

How much overhead is there in running greasemonkey? Any chance FriendFeed will finally fix this themselves after all this time?
- Internet Strategist
A FriendFeed intern just acknowledged my request in another thread for them to look into fixing these usability issues.
- Internet Strategist
In my experience, the overhead of the greasemonkey extension itself isn't perceptible. The script(s) you have activated on the other hand can be - it all depends on what the script tries to acheive and how well optimized it is (lag can often be a consequence of scripts that make requests to other web services that may not be responsive).
- Micah Wittman
Thanks Micah. I may test it. I just realized there is already a "fix" for the screen jumping when you subscribe that works on at least some pages although it can be a little tricky. Right click on the Subscribe link and open it in another tab.
