Hi,

As Ben hasn't updated his script in quite a few years and due to the impracticality of manually adding patches via discussions, I have created an updated version of this script available here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/54074

It operates in exactly the same way as this script, injecting an "All Starred" link into the left hand menu which will then fetch all your starred links and produce a new html file with all the links in

For what it's worth the script has been broken again by changes to Google Reader. I'm stumped this time as Google Reader now seems to be dynamically generating much of the page content which prevents us from tapping into it from GreaseMonkey? at least its effective at barring someone with my level of knowledge (low javascript foo).

Script was only getting the first 250 for me.. it seems the "continuation" element is now called "gr:continuation".. fixing this in the script gets it working again

Now I have extracted all my 7530 starred item links from Google Reader :)

Edit: Some of the extracted links are of the form "tag:" which I understand is something to do with Atom, however I needed real links - adding the following gets the real link in most cases I have seen where "tag:..." is used:

find:

	var link = entries[i].getElementsByTagName('id')[0].getAttribute('gr:original-id');

add the following after the above line:

	if (!(/^http/.test(link))) {
		link = entries[i].getElementsByTagName('link')[0].getAttribute('href');
	}

Well ok, Now I have my 3000+ links, I would like to "unstar" them and make room for new "stars" . Would you know how to this this? I think some tweak in this script should be able to handle this well.

Ah, just applied my own patch to the office computer and it wasn't quite right. Forget to escape the angle brackets around the "All Starred" link so the forum removed them. I modified the patch below so you might want to patch again. It's a cosmetic issue that meant "All Starred" wasn't being rendered as a link - but would still work when clicked.

Noticed it had stopped working recently. Had a crack at patching it myself, edit the script and look for the line that starts if(document.getElementById('broadcast-selector').parentNode) { (line 176 near the end) and replace that whole if {} block with:

if(document.getElementById('selectors-container') && document.getElementById('star-selector')) { // Create a list item to add to the regular google links var starlink = document.createElement("li"); starlink.setAttribute("class", "selector"); starlink.setAttribute("id", "all-starred-link"); // Add the text starlink.innerHTML='<a href="#">All Starred</a>'; // Create a listener to handle the click event starlink.addEventListener('click',getAllStarred,false); // Add the link to the Google Reader page. document.getElementById('selectors-container').insertBefore(starlink, document.getElementById('star-selector').nextSibling); }
