+roolku Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 After this post I tried a few things and came up with a way to change the page icon (favicon) to the appropriate cache icon in addition to changing the title. I then applied the same mechanism to the TB/coin pages. This makes the tabs much more recognisable and distinguishable at first glance: Here are the scripts if you like the idea. - install CacheTitle - install TBTitle I have changed the title display to only show the cache/tb name, but it is easily amendable in the script by concatenating the elements ar[1], ar[2] etc which contain the components from the original title.

+PopUpPirate Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Nice work. Great little hack that makes you wonder why it isn't already in place - thanks Quote Link to comment
Nediam Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hi Roolku, cheers for that! That's much easier to read You say you can alter the script.... ....but it is easily amendable in the script by concatenating the elements ar[1], ar[2] etc which contain the components from the original title. ....How do I alter it slightly so that it can show the GC***** waypoint code? (sorry, don't know much at all about scripts) Cheers Quote Link to comment
+The Bolas Heathens Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Works great using CreamMonkey in Safari too Many thanks for a great addition to the scripts. Quote Link to comment
+roolku Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 How do I alter it slightly so that it can show the GC***** waypoint code? (sorry, don't know much at all about scripts) - right-click on the little monkey in the statusbar and select "Manage user script" - select "Cache Title" in the list on the left and click the "Edit" button on the bottom left - this will open a text editor (probably notepad) - scroll down to the end - the last line reads: favicon.change("http://www.geocaching.com/images/WptTypes/sm/"+icon+".gif", ar[4]); - if you only want to display the GC code, replace ar[4] with: ar[1] - if you want to display both with a hyphen inbetween replace ar[4] with: ar[1]+" - "+ar[4] - if you want the code after the name in brackets replace ar[4] with: ar[4]+" ("+ar[1]+")" and so on (you get the idea). Save the file and close the editor. Bingo. Quote Link to comment

Save the file and close the editor. Bingo. Cool! It may seem obvious to some, but you can also edit the TB title version to give the code and name - replace ar[3] with ar[1]+" - "+ar[3] (Still the last line, which reads favicon.change(icon, ar[3]) Quote Link to comment

+roolku Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) I have updated the scripts to work again after the changes to the website. There is also a script that moves the "my inventory" list of trackables to the top right, replacing the profile box that only has redundant info anyway. install MyInventory Let me know if there are any problems.

+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Nice one, roolku. Unfortunately, I can only see one of our archived cache (and never sent to the reviewer) on the "My Inventory Box". It did replace the "Profile box". The rest of our trackable list remained at the bottom of the My Account page... I'm using Firefox 3.01 with the latest Greasemonkey version. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment
+roolku Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Nice one, roolku. Unfortunately, I can only see one of our archived cache (and never sent to the reviewer) on the "My Inventory Box". Ah, I didn't realise there could be other "lists" on the page (I don't have such a cache). Can you try the updated version (from the same link) and see if it fixes it? Cheers Roolku Quote Link to comment
+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the speedy answer. Now the inventory is displayed correctly, replacing the profile box. (Still, the original inventory list remains also at the bottom. Was that supposed to happen?) Well done and thanks! Edited July 25, 2008 by SUp3rFM & Cruella Quote Link to comment
+Guanajuato Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Excellent Roolku! Interesting to note that if there's nothing in your inventory (!) it doesn't replace what's there. At first I thought it wasn't working, but then realised I had no TBs, so logged on as my daughter who I know has a TB, and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment
+roolku Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (Still, the original inventory list remains also at the bottom. Was that supposed to happen?) Yes, I didn't think it would do any harm there and I wanted to leave the page manipulation at a minimum, to keep the delay down. Quote Link to comment
