Doesn't work for me.

Like other people, I just get the "has not been tagged" page every time.

To the original script writer:

Facebook has made some alteration that now blocks the "View some photos" option for users who you have profile access to. However, viewing photos of users that you're not friends with from the search window still works.

Help me out here, dhsap and Dan:

I search for a name, click on the red link and ALWAYS get: "had not been tagged in any photos yet.

Facebook allows you to upload unlimited photos.
Create an album and tag in some photos."

No matter who it is. I don't think it's working for me.

@dshap, ok a lot of points you made there, let's see if i can address them all.

so firstly about removing the viewing all photos functionality, in the long switch function, comment out the profile.php and album.php cases. secondly, this script doesn't have any effect on the 1/x 2/x thing as that's a facebook bug that happens even when my script is disabled.

about the points you made on your second post, recently facebook has gone all ajaxy and therefore when you click a link, the content reloads without the page refreshing and therefore greasemonkey triggering a call. for this reason some functionality doesn't happen as this script hasn't been called on that page. to force a refresh you can press F5 but this isn't entirely satisfactory as it takes much longer. at the moment i can't see any way of reloading the greasemonkey script once the page has changed. oh and this script does actually remove name=X from the pictures, but doesn't always get called cos of the already mentioned ajax problem.

i'll keep my eye on other facebook scripts and see what ideas they come up with to get past this ajax stuff

Also...

Why is it that if I'm on the photo_search page for someone I'm not friends with...sometimes when I click a picture (to go to that picture in its album), it says "Content unavailable - you may not have permission to see this...etc" but then I click back and try again 1-2 times and then I can get to it...Is there any way to correct this so that it always goes on the first try?

EDIT:

i think i figured it out...when I click the red link and go to photo_search.php to see pics of people I am not friends with, sometimes the photos on that page have links that have "name=X" in the URL and sometimes they do not. If they have "name=X" in the URL and you click the photo to be taken to it in that album - it will say it is blocked. If you take out the "name=X", you can go to the photo (which is of course in an album that is normally visible to you. The weird thing is that sometimes all the links on the page have "name=X" on them, and then you refresh the page, and then they all have links w/o it...How can I make it so that they never have "name=X" so that this issue never comes up?

 
dshap User

what if the only feature i want from this is the part where i can view pics of people i'm not friends with...can i comment certain lines/functions of the script so that it doesn't mess with my regular photo viewing?

1. i like to be able to see pics added by the user vs. added by others
and
2. this script makes it so when you're clicking through photos it ALWAYS says 1/X instead of 1/x, 2/x, 3/x...etc

I'd like to disable the "view all photos" feature but maintain the feature that lets me click the red link for private profiles. I have a little bit of Javascript experience but I can't figure it out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.

 
Ann86 User

does it work if a person is my friend?
and how does it work if i cant view the profile ?
thanks

 
Dan Cooper Script's Author

iwantitall, this is because facebook has suddenly gone all ajax and so the pages load without actually transporting to another page. I'm currently trying to find a way around this in the code but atm it's tricky. you can always force the reloading of a page by pressing F5 and the script should work fine.

 
iwantitall User

so lately when i try to search, the name doesn't turn red like it use to...but once i either reinstall the script or turn off then turn on greasemonkey it works again...until i try to search for another name, it goes back to not working...any suggestions on how to fix this? thanks!

 
vivianasdf User

all i get is blank page :\
i also did what you say by randomly searchin ppl in my network but still doesnt work
please help!

 
Dan Cooper Script's Author

@Praveen Mark... i have been meaning to reply to you for a while but completely forgot. i think you're referring to another script as the number of pictures has no effect on this script :)

 
Praveen Mark... User

awesome script.
however i tried this on someone with 2500+ photos. lets just say firefox + this script wasnt meant to handle that many pictures.

 
Dan Cooper Script's Author

StealthMonkey, done :)

 
StealthMonkey Scriptwright

Any reason you couldn't add this search?

Mask:
http://*.facebook.com/srch.php*

Code:
case "/s.php":
case "/srch.php": <->
searchResults = document.evaluate[...]

 
trf22 User

Is it possible to trick facebook into thinking your primary network is the same as the network of the photo that you are trying to view?

 
Dan Cooper Script's Author

>when i use this script using my profile to which the friend has been added, it simply says that i cant view coz of privacy settings. but when i try to search for the name using another profile (which doesnt have the friend added) it shows me that the user has no photos tagged of them.

I don't understand what you mean by this, could you explain this to me by email? thanks

>i think the only way to see restricted pictures could be if one could find a way to find out the public id or url of the picture

the pid and id is found in the picture's filename, but still you can't access any of the pictures in that album as it comes up with a content not found error

 
syed.1985 User

here is what i am getting.
i have a friend whose pictures have been tagged by their friend but the privacy policy doesnt allow me to view those pictures.

when i use this script using my profile to which the friend has been added, it simply says that i cant view coz of privacy settings. but when i try to search for the name using another profile (which doesnt have the friend added) it shows me that the user has no photos tagged of them.

now i know that is not the case because the user HAS photos tagged of them.

i clicked several other profiles and they all gave the same "no photos tagged" message. maybe these other people do not have photos tagged of them but my friend has.

so what is the problem here?

PS: that *wwwfacebook.com/photos.php?subj=user id" thing works. it does show the album, the album name, who added it, and the cover pic. but it wont let us access the pictures or see any thumbnail other than the cover.

i think the only way to see restricted pictures could be if one could find a way to find out the public id or url of the picture
