Great script thank you.

But I have the same problem with it as dupola.

dupola Scriptwright

Well, one question,I see someone don't use the normal URL for favicon file,somebody's like this:
<link href="http://domain.com/images/favicon.ico" />

I see this script could not get the right file,now there still show the default icon by Google Reader.

Then, I see someone's icon file is not favicon.ico,they use favicon.gif etc.

Can you fix the 2 problem?

Thanks.

As Jesse said, someone might have simply used an update script. But anyway the script is great, and you're on the top list . ;-)

I don't think there's any way the installation numbers for this script could be correct. The comment to install ratio is impossible and the script has only been around for a couple of months

is it possible for this script to work with the mac os x skin?

Jeton User

Oh, i see. Tricking is bad!

Thanks for explaining tough.

The stats are how many times someone has requested the install page. Some people game the numbers or have update scripts that don't check for updates properly.

May 24, 2008 7:59pm

Jeton User

Installed 269346 times. ?
Are these stats for real? I love the script, but this is a really big number of installs.

Here's one more suggestion for userscripts: Fix the stats ;)

@georgie: I added your idea to the script, and it does indeed look better when feeds revert to the default icon rather than having no icon at all. Thanks for the suggestion!

bwaldron User

Yep, that fixed things for me. Thanks!

@bwaldron: Ok, I've fixed the https problem once and for all. Now it works exactly the same regardless of protocol.

bwaldron User

I have installed the (latest version of the) script, and it works fine for http: but not for https:

When I use the secure URL to access Google Reader, Greasemonley properly indicates that the script is active, but I see only the generic feed icons.

@Eugene Schava:
Your suggestion is very astute, and it's true that the URLs of the feeds themselves are stored on the page; however there are actually two different URLs of interest: the feed URL and the html-representation URL. Many feeds are served by a site like Feedburner, and if the inline URL on the page is used for retrieving favicons, these feeds will display www.feedburner.com/favicon rather than the favicon of the originating site. Loading the export OPML file every time the Reader page loads is certainly cumbersome, but it is the only way to load all of the *originating* feed domains, which are contained in the htmlUrl attributes of the OPML entries.

Apr 9, 2008 1:42pm

Eugene Schava Scriptwright

Just a suggestion:
instead of downloading full opml file every time you can get feed url from link, parent to icon, e.g.

a = icon.parentNode;
var hrefMatch = a.href.match(/\/reader\/view\/feed\/(https?%3A%2F%2F[\w\.\-]+)/);
if (hrefMatch)
{
feedDomain = decodeURIComponent(hrefMatch[1]);
icon.src = feedDomain + '/favicon.ico';
}

@Joe Lencioni: Thanks for the suggestion. I have updated the script to fix this problem.

Mar 30, 2008 3:19pm

Joe Lencioni Scriptwright

Good script. The only suggestion I have so far is that it would be nice to make it compatible with "https://www.google.*/reader*/view*"

Great script! Congratulations!

Do you think I can alter the script to create a "sort by unread items"?
