Gmail + Reader Integrator

Integrates Google Reader into Gmail

Updated version of the Gmail + Reader Integrator script that is compatible with the new GMail interface that was rolled out in November 2007.

Based on earlier scripts by Nick Chirchirillo, Pradeep Chandiramani, Winston Teo and Mihai Parparita (See script source for more information)

You can change the height of the Gmail thread list and the embedded reader by modifying the values in about:config (filter by 'reader'). You can also revert to the old behaviour of not expanding the folders in the feed list by setting expandFolder in about:config.

It doesnt work even if I switch to the "Older Version" (the one without the loading
progress bar that just puts "Loading" in the top left corner)

Sorry, if I disable the script at GreaseMonkey it works OK

Not working for me, not even with the script disable in GreaseMonkey
GMail gets stuck at startup screen, the one with the loading bar; the title
actually changes to GMail Reader (XX), but nothing after that.

FF 2.0.0.14 with the latest GMail and GReader.

Error Console:
Error: reader has no properties

Hi all,

I just installed this and having the same issue described below.

Once I login to Gmail it just hangs, I thought it was because of so many subscriptions on reader but after 10 minutes or so i just says "loading..."

It worked once w/o any flaws, but the second time I tried it that is when I started having issues.

I have disabled it for the time being, any suggestions?

FF: 2.0.0.14

Thanks.

@k0shyX I'm using it in Firefox 3.0b3 as I type this.

It's been working in Firefox 3.0 betas since January (v3.4).

What version of this script are you running?
What version of Greasemonkey are you using?
What version of Firefox are you using?

@jesses

Scratch that. Apparently I didn't pay enough attention to the Preferences section of Gmail Addons.

@jesses

Just a suggestion. I also use a script called Gmail Addons that allows Chat and Calendar to show up in my Gmail as well. Would it be possible to integrate Calendar into this script into a collapsible panel like Reader is now?

@jesses

Nope, you're right. It must have been something intermittent on Gmail's end. Good job man :). I'm sure I'll use this quite often.

I see the loading.. message screen for about 3 or 4 seconds now but then Gmail loads and the Reader integration script does it's thing.

Disabling this script does seem to make Gmail load faster, but I'm not seeing the total block that you describe.

I think Reader Integration was disabled in the most recent update to Better Gmail2.

@jesses

It halts at the "Loading..." screen even if I disable Better Gmail 2. I have the script installed directly via Greasemonkey running along side Better Gmail 2 since I can't seem to figure out how to activate the Google Reader integration inside Better Gmail 2. For the purpose of your question, however, I deactivated Better Gmail 2.

@sbw07 and @Matt Baker

Does this only occur with the Better Gmail extension or does it also happen with when using the script directly with Greasemonkey?
 
Feb 15, 2008
Matt Baker User

I'm with 'sbw07', it just sits at the loading screen after updating the title bar to say Gmail Reader (129).

Firefox - v2.0.0.12
Greasemonkey - v0.7.20080121.0
Better Gmail 2 - v0.3.3

The screen remains blank, besides for "Loading..." inthe upper left corner. The tab and title bar read "Gmail - Reader(45)"

Lifehacker already updated their Better GMail extension to remove Reader integration.

@sbw07 Can you be more specific about "can't access my inbox"?

What do you see on the screen?
Do you get any error messages?

sbw07 User

I am using the version of this script that's included in Better GMail2 0.3.2 It was working fine until an hour or two ago. Now as long a I check the Reader integration option I can't access my inbox. Disabling Reader Integration lets me in to the inbox.

Never mind. It works now.

What I mean is, it doesn't even show up.

It doesn't work for me either, and I do get an error message.

It says something like this:

@EvylRat As per the description, this script is intended to works with the new Gmail interface that was rolled out to most people in November 2007.

There are 2 or 3 previous versions that worked with the old Gmail interface.

EvylRat User

This script does not work for those using UK version of Gmail. Only the NEW Gmail version (eg US) works with this script.

@jesses - that's exactly what I'm hoping for...

calling all GM developers, help. haha.

@davehenning I don't use Google Calendar but this script can be used as a starting point by interested parties.

@searchforsun... A couple people have asked for that so I'll see about moving the feeds navbox up higher.

hey. love the script. love the integration.

I have a request. Wondering what you, and others, think.

I think it would be awesome if you could include Google calendar the same way you included reader. It would fit really well in the same spot, as long as reader was minimized, and vice versa. You could even put an agenda (maybe using the gadget) in the sidebar (maybe on the right side this time, to match up with the remember the milk and fit under that)

I would love to know how to do this myself, but I have no idea. haha. sorry.

Just an idea.. let me know what you think.

Thanx.

dave
