Wakaba Extension

By O_Lawd Last update Aug 30, 2010 — Installed 8,816 times.


Script Summary: Commonly requested features for Wakaba boards (and Kareha Boards in Wakaba Mode), in particular Desuchan


This is version 1.0 Alpha 1. It has been tested with most of the iichan network, with 420chan, and with Desuchan. It theoretically will also support any board running on the latest Wakaba unrevised with a simple addition to the site include list. Sorry, this release is in English only.

This script simply adds the following to the interfaces of several Wakaba and Kareha imageboards:

  • Thread Expansion
  • Post Expansion
  • Inline Image Expansion
  • Quick Reply
  • Thread Hiding
  • Quick Sage
  • Thread-Jumping Links
  • Replies Indicator
  • New! Post Previews

It aims for cross-browser compatibility, in particular compatibility with both Opera and Firefox. If you give this a try on a user scripting platform in another browser, feel free to share your experience.

What's New

2010 August 29: Long year huh? I finally went back and continued the rewrite I promised and have uploaded my work thus far. The new code tries to be much cleaner. Some tweaking was also done with Image Expansion and Quick Reply. Sorry, Quick Sage is gone for the moment due to past drama and issues trying to work around it; it is likely to come back, though. Hopefully, this actually fixes more than it breaks! (If not, check the repository for the previous version.)

I welcome and appreciate any bug reports and missed sites.

2009 July 24: Over a month has already passed, so I wanted to say that I am still working on the new version. I have been occupied with other things, but I will try to quicken the pace next week or so. About 1900 lines have been written thus far (in 80-column format). I would say the original features are about 85% as functional as before, with improvements, of course. Certain features may or may not be added, depending on motivation. I cannot guarantee when I feel this script is ready for public consumption. (In fact, I'm about to refactor the code that I have rewritten.)

Thanks to everyone who has tried my script.

2009 June 23: This script has been in the process of being rewritten with improved code over the last several days. Please bear with me.

Known Issues

  1. Image placement issues with Desuchan's CSS
  2. Placement of the thread-jumping links and the "Hide Thread" link in 420chan should be improved.

420chan Users

Kirtaner has adopted this script into the 420chan Firefox Extension. If you are primarily a user of 420chan and would like to take advantage of this script's features, you may want to grab it instead. The extension also includes automatic Youtube embedding.
