New Google Reader Mods, replied by John Glossner

Hao - thanks again for a great script. It looks like with the new Google Reader mods they changed the names of some variables.

particularly it looks like 'viewer-top-links' is no longer valid thus the button does not get created.
document.getElementById('viewer-top-links');

Do you know if there is an easy fix? I looked through the new Reader page source but it was not obvious to me.

Thanks,
John

Not at the moment, but that's a good suggestion.

Is there a way to automatically remove the dupes without having to hit the Remove Dupes button?

Thanks,
Kizer

John,

Sure, add this line after the line you mentioned:

entry.style.display = 'none';

Great Script!

Can you provide an option to remove them like in version 0.1? I saw line entry.className = entry.className.replace('unread','') + " read";

Can you post the code to make it disappear?

And also, to be easier to use, it should run automatically (as long as it's fast), instead of having to click it every time you scroll a few new items. :)

Right now, the script is comparing different combinations of the the posts' title and excerpt. I'm thinking it would be more accurate and faster to compare the link the post goes to instead...

Updated to v0.2

Changes:
- moved Remove Dupes button next to the Refresh button
- dupes: mark as read, but no longer hides them (fix keyboard j,k bug)
- finds more dupes by splitting symbols (-, |)
- more helpful firebug console output (ie. # dupes removed)

Found one bug in your script;

Going to the next news, using keys "J", "K" isn't working where the dupes were removed.

Oh and another suggestion; make the button use the same style as buttons on google reader and if possible align it next to "folder settings" button.

Hi,

I tried the script and it doesn't work for all the "dupes".
I'm subscribed to 24ur.com news(http://rss.24ur.com/index.rss)
and after clicking the "remove dupes" button, I can see the scroller getting bigger so therefore I assume that many of dupes were removed.. but when I read the news.. I can still find the duplicated news.
Hope this helps.

Hi, this seems to work well. The main thing I'd suggest right now would be to move the button - either immediately to the left of folder settings select list, or immediately to the right of the subscription title. Thanks, though, this does help with some feeds that provide dupes. If only it could group all the articles from various feeds about the same topic together, that would be REALLY nice! ;-)

Hey guys,

This is a version 0.1 test script that can remove dupes from Google Reader (a well needed feature!).

It still needs work to be more usable, but it works. What it does is add a Remove Dupes button above view settings on the All Items page.

If you could be so kind, to help me test it, and offer some C&C, I would appreciate it. It outputs which dupes it removes to the Firebug console.
