I cannot get the Flickr Photo Page Enhancer script to work in Chrome: http://userscripts.org/scripts.... Anyone else have any luck or could help me debug the problem please? :-)
Greasemetal hasn't worked at all for me since Chrome v2. Both v2 and v3 have built-in script support, albeit limited. So you were using that or Greasemetal when the script didn't work? It's not clear from your post. And I should add that "incomplete" support is really true. I've seen dozens of scripts not work in Chrome.
- Vlad Bobleanta
Tyler: Yeah, like Safari has userscripts support on Windows.
- Vlad Bobleanta
Never had the script working, never installed Greasemetal. So it's not worth installing? Any script writers here then? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
But other scripts work just fine? Cos if that's the case, that may be the end of it. As I said, I've seen this happen quite a few times. I'm anxiously waiting for full user scripts support.
- Vlad Bobleanta
oh no user scripts for safari on windows heh

Oh, I see that the developer of that script has a greasemetal version listed. Tried that in Chrome w/out Greasemetal?
- Vlad Bobleanta
A few scripts work yep but a lot that I've tried from FrF don't. But I've had one fixed to work for Chrome and see there are Chrome versions of other script (like Better Gmail) so take it that it's possible to get it to work?
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes without Greasemetal, so just about to install Greasemetal to see if that helps.
- Kol Tregaskes
http://friendfeed.com/micahwi... is a user script developer. None of his scripts work for me in Chrome, though, but perhaps you should ask him about this too. And also please kindly suggest he himself adds Chrome compatibility to his scripts :)
- Vlad Bobleanta
I think Micah has already had a look but yes all of his scripts don't work in Chrome even though they are supposed to.
- Kol Tregaskes
That didn't go well. When I run Greasemetal Chrome loads up for a few seconds then closes. Tried it a few times and same result. so have uninstalled it. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
That's exactly what started happening to me since Chrome v2 (re:greasemetal).
- Vlad Bobleanta
:-( I'm doomed to never get this script to work. It's the only one I'd like working in Chrome, tsch. ;-)

Hi there. I'm testing on new Safari tonight, I'll give chrome 2 another go. Chrome1 had decent success, not sure what isn't support now that's causing the breakage. *sigh*
- Micah Wittman
I can't find any resource that describes how to enable user scripts and/or where to store script files. So can't start testing till at least then. Bummer.
- Micah Wittman
Kol, I see Windows platform info, but none for scripting on Mac (granted, the first (non-chromium) pre-release just came out days ago).

There's a vBulletin forum where I'm registered with multiple usernames. I would like to be able to have a Greasemonkey script find my currently logged in username and display it somewhere always visible in order to avoid posting something while logged in with the "wrong" username. The currently logged in username is always displayed at the top of...
"Over the past year, all the major tech blogs have done round-up articles of great Greasemonkey scripts to use with Twitter (including us). What this says about Twitter's native functionality we aren't sure, but we know we've had upwards of 10 separate scripts installed and active at different times. All that is going to end, at least for the next little while, as we have just found the GM script that does everything (and we mean everything). It's the innocently named, Troy's Twitter Script (created by Troy Thompson) that we first noticed written up over on TechRaga."

Yup, it's def hot shit, and you can adjust the troy settings which is FTW

I posted it here in the Chrome group but just realised it might not actually work in Chrome? Anyone tried it in Chrome? I'll give it a go later.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm not sure but I don't think so: "Known issues: Chromium does not support @exclude, @require, @resource, unsafeWindow, or any of the special GM_* APIs." ( http://dev.chromium.org/develop... )

"v0.4 is up. a few bugfixes (resharing & editing comments should work better, still a bit buggy), navigating now correctly selects individual entries (instead of whole clusters). new shortcuts - s: reshare entry; a: expand all entries in cluster ('a' not working very well yet...)."

"In preparation for Firefox 3.1, we're releasing a new version of Greasemonkey, marked as compatible with Firefox 3.1b2, along with additional changes and fixes"

Creates author feed via a screen-scrapping application hosted at AppJet + a special Yahoo Pipe. This scripts relies on a simple web application that offers a RSS feed for all scripts of a given scriptwriter at userscripts.org. The present scripts is not essential but merely simplifies the act of building the feed's url.

Guys, you like Google Reader right? You use the shortcuts right? Now imagine similar shortcuts on Friendfeed! Impossible right? NO! All you need is Firefox &... - http://code.google.com/p...
Interesting project. I see you are filtering based on the character set so it won't work for filtering western languages?
- Ole Begemann
It needs a good bunch of words for detecting western language (those based on Latin alphabets). Like, using "perfekt" to identity German (I know no German). Words have to be exclusively in specific language only.
- Yu-Jie Lin
Some may have unique derived alphabet, but I only know English and Chinese. So if anyone would like to teach me a little, that would be great!
- Yu-Jie Lin
Language detection is certainly difficult to code. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, you might want to have a look at Google's Language API: http://code.google.com/apis.... It's a Javascript interface that provides not only translation but also detection for quite a number of languages. All you need to do is call a Javascript function with your text and it returns the most likely language and the reliability of its assessment. Very handy!
- Ole Begemann
It's a good idea to reduce efforts. But there are two major drawbacks of using Google Language API. First, need to send out many requests to Google, that may be slow down the whole processing. Second, API can only return the major language in text.

Version 0.2.0.1 has some changes, check out the project page.
- Yu-Jie Lin
Version 0.2.1 fix small bugs. I am starting to write a new script, FriendFeed Translator. Will also post my update in this room.
- Yu-Jie Lin
Awesome! :) You're a genius! ;-) Thanks for this great script!
- Éric Senterre
Be sure you also check out: http://friendfeed.com/e... I am now keeping reading those I can't read before, although the translated text is kind of funny sometimes.
- Yu-Jie Lin
shouldn't make these two scripts... I am staying longer on FriendFeed. Have no excuse to close the tab. :p
- Yu-Jie Lin
Version 0.2.2 made 3 small changes, include a new button icon.
- Yu-Jie Lin
I like the idea that if a developer shares his/her GM script in this room, and other developers are interested in making mods/adding feautres/fixing bugs on it, that we can collaborate here. What do you think?
This is a great resource for learning Greasemonkey. I don't know much about Javascript but with this book it was no problem to write my first GM script.
- Ole Begemann
Version 2 of my Greasemonkey script. Highlights your own comments with a blue icon and those of the thread owner in green. I don't know if/how Greasemonkey handles updates so if you've already installed it you might want to install it again. Feedback welcome.
