User talk:Void Singer/SL Forum Ignore

Design

I'm curious why you are injecting code, it seems to complicate things. You could put everything in the uPersist function (I'd rename the function). I'm a pretty experienced GM script writer and I wouldn't mind making the changes. If you haven't already, consider posting it on UserScripts.org (it's got version tracking and makes script installation easy, oh and it's free). -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

P.S. The onclick attribute has fallen out of favor. addEventListener is the approved method of registering events.

originally I had been injecting the whole script, but didn't know about the changes to GM_*Value context or some of the newer methods (haven't played with javascript for awhile since I quite doing web work)... took me awhile to dig up a useful example for grabbing variables back to the sandbox context... current version is only beta while I make sure the features I have, work, then I'll rewrite for max efficiency...

There is a more recent version on userscripts [1] that adds jive version testing and wrappers the the GM_*Value functions for safe degrading to localStorage w/ JSON for Chrome/Opera/Safari/IE8 (although I'm not sure all the other methods will pass... I can't get a good idea what level of XPATH support they have, for instance). My understanding was that FF didn't have support for GM_* before v3 though? But that was just a matter of quick reading out of date resources...

Oh and I didn't know you could "or" the classes like that... nice, I was reading the MSDN for XPATH and must've missed it. (I also didn't realize we have javascript code wrappers on the wiki). I'd more than welcome input/suggestion/assistance on the script, I've got a few planned feature tweaks to make it nicer (listed on the new forum under beta testers), but some of them run in different directories on the new forum, so I haven't decided whether to make them separate scripts or not to cut down on page parsing...

The page layout on the Blogorums is... messy. and the wysiwyg editor loves to overuse   and there's lots of garbage spacing every... plus I forgot to convert childNodes to getElementByTagName since in both cases there's only 1 html element in the container, and it's an anchor. anyways, I'm rambling so I'll stop here
