Is it possible to integrate GoogleTagCloudMaker http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6171 into this?

@Guybrush: Thanks for the details on this. I believe I've fixed the issue now.

@Ronen: It still seems to be working for me. What google site are you using? Also, is anyone else experiencing problems?

@znerp: Thanks for your response!

Another version of Wikipedia problem comes from that, When I search a english word by Google, this script works well, but if I input a Chinese word for example, then the script can't use it to search in zh.wikipedia.org but just ignore it. So I think if the sctipt can improve the local user problem, it would be more useful!

@atlas: Interesting points, the flickr one should be simple enough so I might look into that and see how the results compare to a google image search. Also, I don't know how different other language versions of wikipedia are, but I will also look into that. It might be a while before I implement these though if I decide to; I have a lot on at the moment.

This script is awesome!

If it can add Flickr search results into and add a switch to enable adding another one language version of Wikipedia, it would be ultimately great!

@znerp: I started a fresh profile free of modifications and google extra worked fine. As I'm always tweaking Firefox if I do something that kills google extra again I'll let you know exactly what I did.

@jeremyo: I'm afraid I don't have any other versions of this script other than this one. I don't believe that anything major has changed with this script in the last few months that may have caused it to suddenly stop working. I guess you could try one of the other versions of my script that people have adapted, which I can't personally vouch for but they will likely be modified from earlier versions of this script.

Google Extra stopped working for me recently. Firefox 3 on Ubuntu Hardy and Windows XP. Is there a place where I can find different beta / previous versions of the script?

@m0mm0 & Brandyn: I've changed the includes as per your requests, but I'm not overly happy about this. I'm going to be away from my computer for some time so I won't be able to make further changes for the next week or so but it almost definitely will cause problems with other pages on google and fill error consoles with various issues.

Change the included url to

// @include http://www.google.*/*

You forgot to add the asterisk to allow Firefox's Google to gain that feature.

ok, as for the background with the videos/images/wiki, i just changed this line:
rightDiv.setAttribute("style", "max-width: 350px; float: right; background: #ffffff; padding-left: 10px;");

seems to be working when i set to (background: none;) - looks great in blue :)

as for the links, i changed them to text only by removing these lines:
//GM_addStyle('.GM_stupidicon{width:52px;height:37px;background:#fff url(http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/6129/svcspri...) no-repeat scroll 0 0}\
// .GM_blocklink{display:block;margin:0 6px 0 6px}');

so all worked out for me, thanks

what i ment was that if I is on "www.google.com" and click images and then "web" the url will change to "http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&tab=iw" so the icons won't be there, but you can't ad "http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&tab=iw" only becuse if I click news and then "web" it wont work so I wold recomend "www.google.*/*"

first of all, thank you for the swift reply.
I have seen that image, my problem was that all the images were in one file. is it possible to maybe input the images one by one in different files or just using text links without the images?

also, i am using the stylish css to make google blue, so the images appearing in white not looking so hot, that is why i wanted to change them, same goes for the background in the other great features that extra provides, if it was possible to make the background transparent so it wouldn't interfere with userstyle's blue google, it would be nice as well

thank you

@Ronen: It would be possible, you'd just need to change this image, replacing the icons you want with the corresponding ones for your links. You'd then need to host it somewhere (or change it to a data url, which I really should do for the actual script), and change the line in the script that references it.

I just saw the little icons, this is a very good thing that i wanted to see, but is it possible to allow different icons? I replaced the google links with links i use on my own such as myspace, facebook, etc.. but could not find how to change the icons for them so it won't show the google calendar icon on my facebook link.

@possumboy: Thanks, glad you like it.

@joppe: 1 - It would be possible, but not really in my interest to do this. If you were going to have a go though, I could give you a brief overview in way of a pointer.
2- I did some reading on this in December when someone posed a similar question on one of my other scripts. The issue with that is that the GM_xmlhttprequest function is not supported in Opera, and since this script relies somewhat heavily on that function, this wouldn't be possible.

@m0mm0: Thanks for the feedback. Can you give me an example url that would need to be included? The icons have worked for every http://www.google.tld/ that I've tried it with.

work's great but...

there is one thing thats wrong...

INCLUDED PAGES:
http://www.google.*/
and the other one

to make the "stupid icons" work properly you need to change that to "http://www.google.*/>*<"

1) I'd like to have a column with the Swedish Wikipedia below the English Wikipedia. Is this possible? I tried to mod the file myself but my scripting knowledge is far too low :/

2) I tried the script in Opera 9.5 but it didnt seem to work. Is it possible to make it work? May be a longshot though

this is probably my favourite script on userscripts.
It makes google SO much more useful.
I can't use google without it any more.

Thanks allot!

As I said, I've not noticed any errors with this script at all. I'm using FF3 RC2 as well, so I don't know what's up with that.

And I really don't know about the efficiency differences between the two methods; the difference would presumably be absolutely minimal, so I can't say I've ever really investigated this. I might do some reading up on it and possibly update the script. My issue with this really is that I'm not generally huge on making such small updates to my scripts.

Thanks znerp.. :)
Not really an annoyance.. but just that i like my Firefox to be free of errors... :)
Thanks for the suggestion..

I do suppose that XPath will be more efficient than CSS selector right?
In that case, wouldn't it be better if that line of code had been used instead in the first place?
Or you only noticed that error after you released the last version..
Just wondering.. :)
