Hi Baabaa

Could you possibly put a copy of the trademephotoview.user script file on a file server somewhere - http://uploaded.to/

Cheers tmfan

 
Baabaa User

the file you want to make the edits in is called trademephotoview.user.js

and is likely in a folder structure like this:
mozilla/firefox/[random string].default/gm_scripts/

Baabaa

p.s. just checked, script is working for me.

 
tmfan User

Me too, spent ages on it but couldn't figure it out. I sent tbird81
an email at the address in the source but as yet no reply.

tried your fix baabaa, not sure if i managed to do it correctly but there was no trace of greasemonkey in plugins after uninstall, however all the scripts were there again upon re-install. cannot seem to find a directory with the scripts in it. tried overwriting the script off here with suggested mod and updating anyway. also uninstalled script and re-installed modded script. no joy. any further suggestions?

 
Baabaa User

There have been two changes to the TM site that cause the script to break.
Below is the timeline of break and fix

03-04-08 TM Change breaks script at line ~100
var targetstring="http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/med/";
fix with
var targetstring="http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/tq/";

04-04-08 tbird81 updates script on this site for us

15-04-08 TM Change breaks script at line ~70
"//img[@src='/images/icon_photo.gif']", //the name of the little camera icon
fix with
"//img[@src='/images/NewSearchCards/LVIcons/hasPhoto.gif']", //the name of the little camera icon

I suggest uninstalling greasemonkey, browsing to where the greasemonkey install is, within plugins in your mozzila folder, and delete anything found there that is greasemonkey.
Then reinstall and then add the script here and make the edit (or not if tbird updates the script)

I tried changing the line in the script but still doesn't seem to work.

 
Baabaa User

around line 70 of the script, replace
//"//img[@src='/images/icon_photo.gif']", //the name of the little camera icon

with

"//img[@src='/images/NewSearchCards/LVIcons/hasPhoto.gif']", //the name of the little camera icon

Broken again, this time trademe have made a majour change to their site. I'm looking over the script to figure where the change is required.

 
mattini User

Have reinstalled but still doesn't seem to work.... checked and is definitely new version. Any ideas??

Thanks for the change Baabaa.

I've updated the source. Only change is that string.

Should be able to install straight over old one by clicking 'Install'.

 
Baabaa User

That was foolish of me. The line to replace what I showed previous *should* be:

var targetstring="http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/tq/";

Strange that posts cannot be edited. Any mod's reading this place delete my incorrect post below.

Baabaa User

Line 100 of the script, need to replace the line with the following:

var targetstring="http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/med/";

Does not look like an attempt to stop the script, looks more like a breaking up of the image space for storage/speed/handling.

it stopped working today :(

please fix, i don't think i can live without it now...

another plug-in stopped working today, so maybe it's a minor change to firefox?????

great work, btw

 
Stasis_22 User

Fantastic thanks!
Minor point, it doesn't seem to work when looking at the "Closing soon" page.

 
Baabaa User

Great Script! Was working fine but... is now broken? Perhaps trademe has made a change?

Cheers. It works great!

This is my first ever script.

It's for the New Zealand auction site, TradeMe.

It'll show up thumbnails of items when you look at a listing page, so you don't have to open up all the pages just to see the item.
