Feedpaper for Sage

This script provides clean-ups and enhancements for feeds as they are displayed in the Sage extension.

This script provides clean-ups and enhancements for feeds as they are displayed in the Sage extension.

It provides the following features:

  • Removal of Technorati back links for posts
  • Makes links in posts open in a new window / tab (_blank)
  • Adds a direct link back to the original feed

This is script uses an additional stylesheet to properly use the script as intended.

Below is a preview of how the script will make Sage displayed feeds look when used in conjunction with stylesheet.

feedpaper script and stylesheet

Prerequisites: Sage extension and Feedpaper stylesheet (not required for functionality, but recommended).

Please note: This script uses a GM_xmlhttpRequest to retrieve the feed source, but it is not used for any other reason. This script will not intentionally retrieve any malicious data.

Known bugs: The current version of the script has problems with pages which reference multiple feeds and for certain feeds the source address for the feed cannot be obtained.

Latest version - 0.2

Changes for 0.2

  • References slightly tweaked stylesheet
  • Correctly resolves feed URLs containing an underscore (_)

Future improvements
  • Proper support for retrieving source feeds from pages that reference more than one feed
  • Displaying icon reflecting type of source feed (i.e. Atom or RSS)

Hi jerone.

Thanks for the feedback. I believe you are getting that error on pages which reference more than one feed as this is yet to be addressed (see Known Bugs)

Uncommenting the reference to the stylesheet should work to obtain it from the Internet. I could have included the pure CSS in the script itself, but I don't like to do that as a rule.

I would recommend that you save the CSS file locally and set it using Sage's existing functionality for this.

i like the use off this script, its a very good idea.

But i'm having some problems;
I'm getting this error on some pages (not all):

feed has no properties
registerSelf(Object)greasemonkey.js (line 388)
(no name)()xmlhttprequester.... (line 108)
[Break on this error] CONTRACTID,

Beside i'm not getting the same style as screenshot above. does this has to do with Feedpaper stylesheet? how does that work?
I see its only css, so why not add this into the script?
