"It might be good to explain that greasemonkey is needed and what it is."

ROFL - the entire site is NOTHING but GreaseMonkey scripts. Do you go to MP3 download sites and tell them they'll need a player for it? Moron.

 
bunnee User

It worked for about 2 pokes, then stopped working so I uninstalled and now it won't let me reinstall!!

get an error that says something about file already exists, any suggestions??

 
Devlin User

Forget it, coming straight in from a search engine I was confused what this scripts were as there's no description anywhere that I found on the site. It might be good to explain that greasemonkey is needed and what it is.

 
Devlin User

Hi, there, I'm new to this and was wondering if there were instructions on this script. I'm assuming I install this on my server. Any help I can get on my war against my cousin would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Devlin

In response to the comments from August 2006: Two options... (1) Greasemonkey *may* provide special functions to get around this. *May*. (2) You could write a cookie, I believe, for "facebook.com", couldn't you, with JS.

 
Alan Hogan Scriptwright

Might want to update the description to show that it works, even with facebook's new poke handling (that is, a popup thing instead of a new page)

 
Charles Moye User

I am new to this, but with grease monkey, would something like this work for keeping up with the number of pokes?
-- inside the 'you have poked' else if statement in function DoThePoke --
pokeNode.removeAttribute('href');
var sum = 1;
if (!GM_getValue('counter' + pokee)) {
GM_setValue('counter' + pokee, sum);
}
sum = GM_getValue('counter' + pokee);
pokeNode.innerHTML = 'Auto-Poked ' + sum + ' times!';
sum = sum + 1;
GM_setValue('counter' + pokee, sum);

Lukas...lol we thought of the same solution. :-)

Hope you don't mind contributing to your script.

 
Mike Soh Script's Author

Thanks Andrew and Lukas for your bug report!!

I noticed that the script didn't work for me either. I'm not sure why facebook keeps changing it's code. Regardless, I changed the regular expression in which the post_form_id is captured (\w+) instead of a (\.*).

That should hopefully fix things. Feel free to poke me and give it a try. :-)

 
Andrew Guyton Scriptwright

Glad I could help.

 
Lukas Fragodt Scriptwright

Scratch that... looked like an easy fix, (but haven't had a chance to test the fix). New version available here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5999

 
Lukas Fragodt Scriptwright

Andrew, I'll take a look at this tonight provided Mike hasn't posted a comment or a new version by then.

 
Andrew Guyton Scriptwright

This script stopped working! :(

It gives you:
Poke failed! [2,1]

And the javascript console says:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5200/Facebook Autopoke 2.0: Auto-Poke failed -- Error Code 2.1: The confirmation page was retreived and the post_form_id was found (909e87aa89ba581840f78e1c86fd6ba1" /><input /><input /><input />divdiv

I've actually considered this; however, because of javascript limitations, this cannot be done. However, this could be done via a firefox extention. I don't know how to program in firefox (nor do I desire to).

Perhaps a feature request in the Facebook Stalker extention is the way to go.

This script is too fine to be denied! What would make this even better would be that it logs each poke back so when used with the facebook live homepage, you can see who you are in a poke war with and how many pokes you have done.
