Digg - Story Normalizer

Adds the missing description to video and image story summaries on Digg.com using the Digg API, and makes general appearance of these stories more uniform with the normal news.


Changelog:

1.3 - 13.07.2008
  • Everything should work properly again.
1.2.5 - 12.07.2008
  • Digg changed its code again for some reason.
  • Needed to exclude search pages for now. I'll look into a fix.
  • Also needed to drop inaccurate flag repositioning.
1.2 - 16.05.2008
  • Partial code rewrite to get the script to work again after Digg changed its code.
  • The script should now also work when not logged in.
  • Additional bugfixes.
1.1.1 - 25.01.2008
  • Small update to get the script to work again with the latest Greasemonkey update. This update contains important security fixes, which are now reflected in this script.
1.1 - 19.01.2008
  • Script partially rewritten to implement the suggestion of neaveru. Thanks again for it! The script should also be much faster because of this, as it makes only one request per page.
  • The inaccurate flag should now appear in the correct place. (see screenshot)
  • Style sheet removed from the script, as it now uses the styles from Digg itself.
1.0 - 04.01.2008
  • Initial release

Thanks for your input RHPT!

I've been working on a fixed version, but I'm not particularly satisfied with it. Digg changes its code randomly sometimes, and now it even uses slightly different code on some pages.
I've updated the script anyway for now, so check it out, and report, if you find any more bugs.

Cheers!

This script doesn't seem to be working correctly. I don't know if its because of the new Digg recommendation engine, but I get this error when visiting Images or Videos on Digg.

Error: newsTitle is undefined
Source File: ../components/greasemonkey.js
Line: 390

Thanks for your comment!

Good suggestion! I don´t know why I haven´t thought of this myself.

I have already noted down other fixes also for version 1.1, but I haven´t got much time on my hands lately. I will try to implement them by the weekend.

Cheers!

Thanks, I was about to write this myself but it turns out someone already did! Good job!

Could you make it so that httpRequest is only called once instead of once per video? (ie, use stories/123,125,127 instead of story/123 then story/125, etc)

Thanks!
