url filter does not work for me, replied by dreesemonkey

I've having a similar issue. I'd love to be able to block self.reddit.com.

I have two filters setup. First is my title filter, which works just fine. I created a second filter specifically for URLs, I wasn't sure if I included it on my first filter it would hide things that matched my keywords ONLY if it was from a specific URL.

Anyway, I have self.reddit.com in the URL box and it does not hide these. What am i doing wrong?

GREAT script, btw. I downloaded greasemonkey specifically for this.

Suggested changes so it works with GreaseKit, replied by pudquick

Replace line 66 with:

  if (typeof GM_registerMenuCommand === "undefined") {
    // Running on GreaseKit on Safari, most likely
    // As such, need to specify options.path = /
    var options = new Object();
    options.path = '/';
    GM_setValue('rf_filters', json, options);
    delete options;
  } else {
    GM_setValue('rf_filters', json);
  }

Replace line 299 with:

  removeButton.setAttribute('class', 'btn');

(Using .class is generally frowned on, but in Safari it specifically breaks.)

I've made these changes to my version, works great (if you're also using the gm_functions script)

I tried this and could not reproduce the error, but this was posted a long time ago. Perhaps it works in the new version? Sorry for the late reply.

Hey guys, I have updated the script with fixes for this. Thanks for your help!

Nice catch, guys. Glad you guys could figure that out. I was just stuck being sad about it.

That doesn't look like the only change...

Again in rf_doFilter:

//        } else if (link.className == 'hover') {
        } else if (/^subreddit/.test(link.className)) {

That's the only other thing needs a change I could see. Note that they dropped the subreddit link for reddit.com so if you were filtering on that subreddit you'll need to adjust accordingly.

Apparently Reddit made an update this afternoon that broke the latest version of the filter. I found a quick fix for the script.

In the function rf_doFilter:

//if (!(/^thingrow_/.test(div.id))) continue;
if (!/^thing/.test(div.className)) continue;

I add ``wired'' into the "url filters" text field, press "saved filters" button, go to a reddit.com window where the #1 item is from blog.wired.com. No yellow highlighting. If I add another filter with the single title word ``text'', it highlights find (the title is "Text Messages ...'').

Ideas? I'd love to use this script. Running FF 3.0.5. Greasemonkey is up to date, too (as are all my addons).

How can I debug this with Firebug?

Y. Right: Apparently there was an error with keywords and spaces. The script was handling the spaces incorrectly so some filters with spaces would not work. This should be fixed now.

Hi, this is great, but I'm having trouble filtering out stories about Ron Paul. My current "title filters" are "palin, mccain, obama, republican, democrat, ron paul", but I still get a story whose title is "Ron Paul Blasts “Secret Government” Running Economy". What am I doing wrong?

I've updated this script to hopefully be compatible with GreaseKit, Opera (tested on Opera) and other browsers. Please inform me if there are any bugs or incompatibilities.

I'm running GreaseKit for Safari, and your script doesn't work (the options don't show up on the preferences page of reddit).

Just thought I'd let you know. I'd love to install it in firefox, but for some reason my copy isn't allowing me to install extensions right now.

Burger,

You saved Reddit. Nothing less. Thank you. Thank you. This is great.

Well all of this talk about tagging got me to thinking. I like subreddits cos they allow me to see stuff that isn't about Obama or politics. BUT I'm missing loads of cool stuff that doesn't go through reddits that I'm subscribed to.

This script lets me view /r/all/ and filter out those subreddits without having to worry about missing out.

Many thanks!

Thank you for this contribution, Si, although I'm a bit unsure why you don't just unsubscribe to unwanted subreddits this feature might be useful. I've updated the script source now.

Hi - great script. I was looking for something like this exactly 4 hours after you uploaded it. I’ve modified it to also filter by subreddit, and it can be found at http://dpaste.com/hold/76960/ . Please update the script, it changes the way that I browse reddit.
