Firefox Scripts


Recommended Posts

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

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.

I seem to have 2 scripts for 'Gallery Enhancement' :unsure:

 

// ==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.

Thanks Chris. 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

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.
