Part 4 of US_framework; US_update. Updated 23-09-2008 16:00 [v1.7 Beta].

US_update

$1 Intro:

I'm working on a Userscript framework (US_framework), which contains 4 parts:

US_functions [1]; contains useful functions.
US_language [2]; contains a translation part.
US_options [3]; adds an iframe window (for settings).
US_update [4]; checks for new script versions.

This script will contain the 4^th part for update checking.

News and information you can find on this page, but all explanation about the functions can you find on my personal site.

Please scroll down to $3 Install on how to install this script.

$2 News:

After this install there shouldn't be a reason to every time update this script to the latest versions of the other scripts.

Off course these scripts are in Beta stage and errors/bugs can occur. Please post these a.s.a.p. so I can fix them.

Have fun using it, gr Jerone

Just leave a comment if you're using this script too and want to be added above.

$9 Notes:

I made this userscript in Dreamweaver 8.
It's tested in Firefox 2.0.0.16 (continuous) and Firefox 3.0.1 (partly) with GreaseMonkey 0.8.
This script is copyrighted and I prefer if you ask if you can 'borrow' parts of this script.
Installing is at own risk and I can't be held responsible if anything goes wrong.
Want to reward me for putting time and sweat into making this free userscript;

(thank you).

The last update I made included an option to add a custom loader instead of the normal loader.
So to make an example I wrote a little function that can be used as the custom loader.
Just add the following code to the addon customLoader in every script you want:

eval(US_functions.prototype({Number:[],String:[],Array:['find'],Object:[]}));
      
      var language=new US_language({langMod:"browser",
      	locals:{
      		en:{
      			'customLoader':{
      				'checkUpdate':'Checking for update for @title@ ...',
      		}	},
      		nl:{
      			'customLoader':{
      				'checkUpdate':'Controleren op update voor @title@ ...',
      }	}	}	});
      
      new US_update({
      	// normal settings...
      	addon:{
      		customLoader:	function(o,USU){
      			if(!window.CLscripts){window.CLscripts=[];}
      			if(!USU.CLbeenHere||USU.CLbeenHere===null){USU.CLbeenHere=false;}
      			var CLscripts=window.CLscripts;
      			if(o.readyState==1 && USU.CLbeenHere===false){  // loading...
      				CLscripts.push(USU.title);
      				if(!$gi('CLoverlay')){
      					var CLoverlay=$sa($ce("DIV"),"id","CLoverlay");
      					$sa(CLoverlay,"style",$setReturnOpacity(100)+" position:fixed; height:25px; bottom:0px; right:0px; color:gray; z-index:9998; border:solid black; border-width:3px 0 0 3px; -moz-border-radius:1em 0 0 0;");
      					$addEvent(CLoverlay,"dblclick",function(){$re($gi("CLoverlay"));});
      					$ac($d.body,CLoverlay);
      					var CLwrapper=$sa($ce("DIV"),"style",$setReturnOpacity(70)+" background-color:black; width:100%; height:100%; font-size:10px; -moz-border-radius:1em 0 0 0");
      					$ac(CLoverlay,CLwrapper);
      					var CLspan=$sa($ce("span"),"id","CLspan");
      					$sa(CLspan,"style",$setReturnOpacity(100)+" padding:6px 6px 6px 0; font:10px; color:gray; z-index:9999; white-space:nowrap; float:right;");
      					$ac(CLspan,$ct(language.localise(['customLoader','checkUpdate'],{"title":CLscripts.join(" & ")})));
      					$ac(CLwrapper,CLspan);
      					var CLimg=$sa($ce("IMG"),"src",USU.loadingImage);
      					$sa(CLimg,"style",$setReturnOpacity(100)+" margin:4px; z-index:9999; float:left;");
      					$ac(CLwrapper,CLimg);
      				}
      				else{
      					$ih($gi('CLspan'),language.localise(['customLoader','checkUpdate'],{"title":CLscripts.join(" & ")}));
      				}
      				USU.CLbeenHere=true;
      			}
      			else if(o.readyState==4){
      				CLscripts.splice(CLscripts.find(USU.title),1);
      				if(CLscripts.length>=1){
      					if($gi('CLspan')){
      						$ih($gi('CLspan'),language.localise(['customLoader','checkUpdate'],{"title":CLscripts.join(" & ")}));
      				}	}
      				else if($gi('CLoverlay')){
      					$re($gi("CLoverlay"));  // cleanup
      				}
      				USU.CLbeenHere=null;
      }	}	}	});

Another good suggestion would be to use the window title or status bar.
