As promised, here's the early version of a script that works with the new version of GMail. Read the summary carefully and let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you all for your patience with my limited time to work on this. I plan on making a new version that works with the new version of GMail and uses the GMail/Greasemonkey API. Coming soon...

Gmail Signature Float adds all of the features this script is trying to without the button, as well as bringing it to the top and removing the dashes.

You simply enter the html in Gmail's signature section and you're done.

If you're having challenges with this script, try Gmail Signature Float to add these options.

This is great except when I try to add a signature with any kind of line breaks using the br or p tags, it breaks the script entirely. I lose the link to insert a signature and obviously then have no signature.
Is there a way to fix this?
thanks,
Charlie

I second gabedibble's request.

When using Gmail Super Clean, the Insert Signature link is indented against the Compose Mail link, which looks wonky.

It would be tight if we could have this link removed altogether in favor of an automatic insertion. Or, give the option to have it automatic or manual by a flagged variable in the script.

I can't get this to work at all....I have a working understanding of html...but whenever I add mine to the signature areas nothing works!

help!

This would be a cool option:

1) add a variable to Auto Insert
--if you have one HTML signature, it inserts that one every time
--if you have more than one, the script should ask you which one (just as if you were to click the link)

--------

Also, while in my INBOX there is an Add Signature link. It doesn't work until I Compose a new message. Can you please try to remove that link from the inbox, thus only showing it when Composing? Thanx!

Okay, I decided that for now, the link will go back to being underneath the Compose link. I know it's not optimal, location-wise, but makes sense on the backend. I'll work, as I have time, to figure out a way to put it in the rich text menu bar...

Also, I updated the insert function to be a bit more efficient.

Thanks!

Oh, and I wanted to thank teljj001 for his update. I've used and it works well.

Thanks!

UPDATE
1 - I've added the functionality to name your separate signatures.

2 - I've changed the placement so that it shows up at the bottom of the compose screen in both Compose and Reply/Forward windows.

Known issues: If you reply to a message in the middle of the thread, you have to scroll down to the bottom of the screen to find the button. I'm working on it.

Thanks!!
Mark

Update.
Inserting the sig works if I'm the first one to reply. Inserting the sig when replying to a thread with a previous reply doesn't work.

Doesn't work on forward or reply. Firefox 2.0.0.6. Reinstalled the original script and same result. It does work on compose.

I agree 100% -- thanks for the work on this script, the new changes are great!

The suggestion to somehow add this feature to the composition area would be brilliant too - I often have to scroll WAYYY up to insert the sig... of course I guess if I get in the habit I could click insert before I scroll to the composition window on replies :)

I'd love to know if it was possible, or even floating would be brilliant too so it scrolls with the movement of the browser.

I've seen other scripts that do both, but neither are as great with the other features. Seriously --- great work on making this available, it saves a ton of time, especially now that the reply/forward works consistently!

I'm also using this with Google Apps for my Domain if anyone is curious, it works great with my custom setup.

Thanks Mark!

Nathan

Chris,
I just changed this line in the script
"var which = prompt("Which signature would you like? 1=PCPro 2=BOT 3=NW 4=Princess");" and that will help me remember what's what. Of course if you have 20 sigs, this isn't so good

Archived Comments, replied by Peter Sward

Peter Sward — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 18:49:35 +0000

Shouldn't the sig be after my text when I do a reply? I'm a bit confused why it's at the top of the page? Otherwise I like it a lot.

This script is terrific!

One question... Would it be possible to change the code so that instead of selecting "1-3", you could set short names for a saved sig?

Basically, if I want to create, say 20 different signatures, it would be hard to remember what's what, but if the 1-3 selection was instead a list of short names, that would be great.

I am very limited with JS and don't think I could do this myself unless it were pretty simple.

Teljj001,

Could you please post exactly where your edits need to go within the script?

Thanks,

I needed to make a couple of changes to get this to work:


if (sigNode) {
    sigNode.parentNode.insertBefore(sep, sigNode.nextSibling);
    sigNode.parentNode.insertBefore(navSigLink, sigNode.nextSibling);
}

(wrapped if statement to avoid sigNode errors)


function insertSignature(s_html) {
	var txtBox = getNode('hc_compose');
	if (txtBox) {
	    
	    // no reply/forward text, insert at end
		txtBox.contentDocument.body.innerHTML = 
		    txtBox.contentDocument.body.innerHTML + '

' + s_html;
	} else {
	    
	    // reply/forward
	    
	    for (var nodeId = 0; nodeId < 30 && !txtBox; nodeId++) {
	        txtBox = getNode('hc_' + String(nodeId));
	    }
	    
	    if (txtBox) {
	        
	        // reply/forward, insert at the beginning
	        txtBox.contentDocument.body.innerHTML = 
	            '

' + s_html + '

' + txtBox.contentDocument.body.innerHTML;			
	    }
	}
}

(updated function to handle threads without causing an error, and support threads greater than 2 messages long.) Hope this helps, JT
