Config last checked time problem, replied by E-rok

Hi Znerp - I am big fan of this script, however - when I check the config, the last checked time shows:

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:19:24 GMT

The problem with that being that today is the 27th.

My computer is set properly so I am not sure what the problem is.

Feature Request - exFriends List, replied by znerp

That is an interesting idea. It's not something I'd have considered really (in the 10 months since I created this script, I believe I've only had 2 people show up because of it), but that really does make sense. I will look at implementing this code at some point in the next few days when I'm more with it and less tired.

Feature Request - exFriends List, replied by frankgh

I would like the script to automatically remove friends from the exFriends list when they are back in my profile. For instance, some people would disable their facebook profile, and they will appear as if they've removed me from their friend's list. But when the reactivate their account they still show up as removed friends.

I have the code for it, if you'd like to use it:

var newSavedFriends = ({});
// FG: the newExFriends list
var newExFriends = ({});

for (i in oldSavedFriends) {
if (!newSavedFriends[i]) {
exFriends[i] = oldSavedFriends[i];
inform(oldSavedFriends[i]);
}
}

// FG: Check for friends in the newSavedFriends list that were in exFriends list
// if they are in the newSavedFriends don't add them to the newExFriends list
for (i in exFriends) {
if (newSavedFriends[i] && newSavedFriends[i].o===100) {
GM_log('Friend ' + newSavedFriends[i].t + ' is back');
} else {
newExFriends[exFriends[i].i] = exFriends[i];
}
}

// GM_setValue(facebookID + " ex friends", uneval(exFriends));
// FG: Save the newExFriends list instead of the exFriends list
GM_setValue(facebookID + " ex friends", uneval(newExFriends));

Thanks

Mr@: This problem is not a problem with my script, it is a problem with your installing it. Try searching the forum to find help with this issue.

"See this Photo in its Album" Feature, replied by znerp

znerp — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:19:15 +0000

That's fine, I didn't expect you to check out the code at all. My point really was that I added that line a long time ago (if I could be bothered to go through the versions I could find when), so I imagine it's been redundant for quite some time.

Well thanks for the answer and sorry, i didn't check out the code :/

"See this Photo in its Album" Feature, replied by znerp

znerp — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:12:38 +0000

I've not come across an album like this in a long time myself. I actually put in a comment quite a while ago in the source code of the script, I think this bit's now redundant because I can't find any albums that I can't see. (around line 35 or so).

I don't want to remove the code that handles this though in case there is some way that it is useful to someone. I don't spend a lot of time on Facebook myself so I tend to rely on my users to find problems etc. for me.

Hi everyone,

I spend lot's of hours searching for an exemple so i could try the script, but unfortunately i didn't found any example.
So my question is the next:
Is this feature still available in Facebook? I mean i used to see pictures which viewing others of the album was impossible, but now it appears that i can see all of them (without the script of course).

Cheers,
John.

Oh thanks for the speedy reply!

Im up and running, I'll be sure to spread the word about this app. Major kudos and thanks again!!!

I'll take you through this;

Install the Firefox browser.
Install the Greasemonkey add-on.
Restart Firefox. A small monkey symbol should show in the bottom right of the browser window.
Visit the script homepage and click the install button in the top right of the page.
A window will appear and an install button will become active. Click that.
A confirmation should appear by the small monkey saying that the script was installed.
Middle click (or right click, then "Manage User Scripts...") the small monkey.
If "Facebook Friends Checker" appears in the list on the right of this window then it has installed fine.
Now carry on browsing Facebook as usual and at some point you may be prompted that someone has removed you.

Hope this helps.

Znerp-
Major kudos for an AMAZING app, this concept is fantastic.

My only remaining problem is my inexperience. I love the concept of User Scripts, (especially this one) but am clueless as to how to use it. I have downloaded Firefox, Greasemonkey, and Friends Checker. But when I open Greasemonkey, all fields remain blank, and I do not see FC (or anything for that matter) anywhere.

Am I missing some basic piece of modern tech knowledge? Is there hope for me yet?

Thanks for bearing with me. I could not find a tutorial basic enough to sink to my level of newb incompetence.

No, that was my script. A brief history of that section of code; when grabbing the next page of images, I had a recurring problem with no data being returned. To combat this, I had the script try again 2 further times and then give this message if nothing is returned on either of those attempts. Generally data was returned on the first attempt. Failing that, data was almost always returned on the second attempt. If we get to a third attempt though and it still fails, then I figured that something was wrong that was stopping it loading so one should give up and try later. In this case though, Facebook had changed the headers required in the actual request to get another page of images, so I've added this in the current version and I believe it should all work fine now.

Is this feature not now working for you then?

I have seen this before, but for me it was intermittent and hasn't happened for a while, making me think that it might be Facebook.

Include, replied by Chicago_gangster

Chicago_gangster — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 03:32:12 +0000

To prevent the script from running (unnecessarily) on all subpages of titles, I'd suggest to make @include narrower:

// @include        http://*.imdb.com/title/*/
// @include        http://*.imdb.com/title/*/#*
// @include        http://*.imdb.com/title/*/maindetails*
// @include        http://*.imdb.com/title/*/combined*

Well I can see no reason why this might happen. Could you check your error console in future to see if this script is throwing up any errors?

One possibility actually is that this person may have deactivated their profile two days ago and so appeared on your screen. They could then re-activate their profile yesterday, and deactivated it again today. This would mean that they would show again today.

I don't know how likely this scenario is, but since no one else has complained at me about this I am going to have to assume it is something of that nature for you and not a problem with the script.
