+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Hi I have just reformatted a couple of my computers and have been setting everything up again from scratch. This seemed a good opportunity to clear out all my firefox scripts and add-ins and start from scratch. To be honest I had lost track of which ones did what on gc.com, with various map substituters, image gallery enhancers, log formatting and general page tidy up scripts. It was all a bit of a mess with some scripts over riding others anyway before the reformat. However now I come to start reinstalling them, it seems that a lot have not been updated for a year or more and some I know broke following various changes to gc.com last year. Lil Devil's page (which was an excellent source) appears not to have been updated since May '11 and I think a number of those stopped working and were never updated. The excellent follow-the-arrow website was always my source of scripts, but the links there seem to point to a lot of no longer supported scripts and there's a couple of links which go to an error page. So my question is, does anyone know of a comprehensive up to date list of firefox scripts that work with the current gc.com pages. In particular I am interested in scripts for: Tidying up the cache pages (need to cut out white space, disclaimer etc for my small netbook screen) Images - thumbnails in logs, enhancer for galleries Logging - text formatting, 'inline' logging etc Maps - putting an OS map on the cache page Friends list enhancements Can anyone help point me to a list of known working scripts? Many thanks Quote
+Unobtainium Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Wow, this is a name from the past, welcome back. I'm not aware of a list, hopefully Chris will be along shortly. Quote

+The Frosties! Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I don't have a list, but I do use geocaching map enhancements(OS maps on GC page) which is a greasemonkey script Edited February 12, 2012 by The Frosties! Quote
+Graculus Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I've tried to collect as many as I can from various sources on my resource site. I know some don't work but can't help with those I'm afraid. One that is missed is the OS maps on the cache page. http://www.follow-the-arrow.co.uk/resources/ffscripts.html Chris Graculus Volunteer UK Reviewer for geocaching.com UK Geocaching Information & Resources website www.follow-the-arrow.co.uk Geocaching.com Knowledge Books Edited February 12, 2012 by Graculus Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I seem to have 2 scripts for 'Gallery Enhancement' // ==UserScript==// @name Geocaching Thumbnails // @version 6.2 // @description (v6.2 17/01/2012) Changes the default picture icons on cache pages to image thumbnails. Update for geocaching.com update on 17/1/12. Also enhance user profile gallery. // @namespace http://benchmarks.org.uk/geothumbs And /*Geocaching Gallery - v1.5 2010-02-11 © 2010, Prime Suspect Software Greasemonkey user script: see http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org Compatible with Greasemonkey 0.6.4. Function: Changes all thumbnail images in a gallery to the medium size (300 pixel width) format. Clicking on a picture will display it full-size in a new tab. When viewing the system's gallery, or a cache page gallery, the image caption is turned into a link, which will open the log containing that image in a new tab. Change Log: v1.5 - 2010-02-11 Update to accomodate site changes. v1.4 - 2009-02-09 Added Banner Galleries. v1.3 - 2008-11-28 Update to accommodate site change. v1.2 - 2006-04-19 Update to accommodate change of image server name. v1.1 - When viewing a log gallery, clicking on the caption now redisplays the page with that image in the viewbox. Previously, the caption was not a link in log galleries. The change was necessary to allow log owners to select an image for editing, and to view notes attached to an image. v1.0 - Initial release */ // ==UserScript== // @name GC Gallery // @namespace http://gmscripts.locusprime.net Not sure which is doing the job! But as you say you've tried the locusprime site... I'd go for the benchmarks.org.uk/geothumbs site. Quote

When I first found Firefox, and scripts (which incidentally was a result of your talk at the Dartmoor Workshop event in Princetown when you persuaded me to leave the dark side and embrace the fox), I used loads from the links on your site. Such a shame that some of those developers seem to have stopped, erm, well, developing I suppose. Thanks for the OS map link Quote
+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 I seem to have 2 scripts for 'Gallery Enhancement' <snip> Thanks Bear. My firefox was in the same situation, lots of scripts added over time and I had lost track of what was doing what. That's why I thought I would delete them all and start again. I'll try the two you mentioned one at a time and see what happens. Cheers Quote
+dartymoor Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 That OS Maps script is brilliant - thanks for the link! Quote
+Graculus Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 You can see which scripts are running when you have a cache page open. Click on the little drop down arrow beside the brown Greasemonkey icon (or if not visible, Tools - and hover your mouse over Greasemonkey) the fly out box shows which scripts are running (they have a tick beside them). You can untick them to stop them running then refresh the page.

+The Growler Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Well I have not only lost OS maps but also Hybrid, satellite etc. Not sure about this upgrade. Quote
+The Frosties! Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 was it supposed to be an upgrade? I thought it was a moneysaving downgrading excersise. Pretty crap from where I'm sat, waiting for tiles to download, many don't quite make it. Aerial might work if you live in Oklahoma Quote
+dartymoor Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Well, I enjoyed the OS map for the couple of hours I had them! Hopefully the greasemonkeys will fix the script to work with the new gc mapping so at least we'll have some aerial stuff in the uk. Quote
BOBBLES WORLD TOUR Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Another friendly side step by the Godfathers of caching. Don't blame them for this about face with G maps though. Corporate greed interlocked in an arm wrestle. But anyone with sense relies on outside friends to obtain what we require anyways. Search and you will find your true caching Valentines. Quote
+The Hornet Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I refer to my posting in one of the multiple threads that have been set up to debate this topic. Quote
