hi, sorry but i haven't checked this page in ages!
i just updated to the new version - thanks for taking my suggestion into account... i can't seem to get it to work though. i tried marking an old message as unread but although this made my inbox link turn red it didn't update the page title. also, it would be cool if the title could change when you have new "request" and "update" notifications too

i'm also not too keen on the autopoke feature (in fact, i've never poked anyone ever) and so removed the code for it, but it would be nice if there was an option to turn it off so i didn't have to do this

also, this page doesn't exactly make it clear that for certain features to work other scripts have to be installed (e.g. app nuker so that apps do not appear in the feed)

i haven't tried the unfuck feature because i like certain applications, so can't comment on how that works

but aside from all that moaning (sorry!) i love it, and thanks very much for all your work :)

Well there you have it. An auto-poke feature.

Well chezzo I finally got those message notifications in the the title so you can leave Facebook in a tab. Sorry it took me over two months but it was a difficult task. I had to write the code from scratch and getting it to stay even when you had a message open proved to be quite a challenge. I know the code isn't perfect so make sure to report any bugs you might find.

I just got the go ahead from the author of Facebook Poke O' Matic. Stay tuned for future updates.

here's a unofficial autopoke version of this script hosted on my own site. http://medleymind.com/f_reload.user.js

I've just never bothered to write the code to turn this off and on in the menu, and plus it would mean I was stealing code from John Watson's Facebook Poke O' Matic.

I have to make this compatible with my unfuck script sometime but I'm lazy. seeing the bad parts of facebook after 30 seconds will probably motivate me though.

you have to refresh the page in the past five minutes to be considered online.

Question about online status:

Does a user have to refresh a fb page or open a new one to be considered online? Or, does leaving the page open and unattended cause the user to appear online?

Thanks.

how about making the page title change when you have new notifications like with this one for myspace:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6365
then i don't have to keep checking it every few minutes :)

add removal is not functioning

 
sizzlemctwizzle Script's Author

Thanks for letting me know about that. I have no idea how that got in there.

 
Jordon Kalilich Scriptwright

A line break on line 68 prevents the script from working.

 
sizzlemctwizzle Script's Author

actually I just forgot to make sure the function was preforming on the frame. it should work now.

 
Jordon Kalilich Scriptwright

Minus the GM_log, of course. I just had that in there to make sure it was working.

 
Jordon Kalilich Scriptwright

One more thing: Highlighting the inbox link doesn't work unless I place

if (highlight == true) {
GM_log('highlight true');

highlightInbox();

}

after

myframe.contentDocument.close();

myframe.src = "about:blank";

Once again, thanks for the great script!

 
Jordon Kalilich Scriptwright

Thanks. I just noticed that you might want to change lines 32 and 33 to the following:

GM_registerMenuCommand("Don't Highlight Inbox", function(){GM_setValue("highlight", false);});

highlight = GM_getValue("highlight", false);

Keep up the good work!

 
sizzlemctwizzle Script's Author

Alright I added support for your script. You can enable it from the User Script Commands menu like the others.

 
Jordon Kalilich Scriptwright

Could you add a line to the script for compatibility with my Highlight Inbox Link script? When I put

if (window.gm_highlightInboxLink) window.gm_highlightInboxLink();

on line 111 of your script, it calls my script (turning the inbox link red on new messages) whenever your script updates the home page.

Or you could write my script into yours if you want. It's very short.

Now if I could only get rid of those javascript errors facebook throws out.

 
Praveen Mark... User

you are AWESOME!

 
sizzlemctwizzle Script's Author

You can now block apps from the Tools → Greasemonkey → User Script Commands menu.

 
sizzlemctwizzle Script's Author

My script is now compatible with Facebook app nuker. You will need to change the no_apps setting to true in order to activate it. Thanks for the suggestion.

 
Praveen Mark... User

it breaks the facebook app nuker script. this is a great idea, but i chose that over this

 
sizzlemctwizzle Script's Author

I'm so glad I wrote this script. Not having to reload my page over and over kicks so much ass.
