I have the same problem as nathaniel_higgins. Is there some way to fix this or are we doing something wrong?

It keeps putting up this dialog box every time I visit a page with FF3

"A user script has requested automatic update checks:

name: User Script Updates
namespace: http://userscripts.org/people/336
description: Checks for updated versions of user scripts that request it, and
notifies the user of their existence.
homepage: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2296
location: http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/2296.user.js
version: 0.3
date: Tue Jun 20 2006

Allow?"

It gets very annoying

Same here (FF3).
Error-Console:
Fehler: Greasemonkey access violation: unsafeWindow cannot call GM_setValue.

I'm having the same problem as Alvin on Fx 3.0.

can someone please fix this to work in FF 3 Please

Unfortunately, it seems borked in FF 3.0RC1 ... It spams me constantly (every couple of minutes) requesting update access for itself - and once it even popped up about 5 boxes and I had to click OK 5 times - all for permission to update itself.

Borked.

M0rph3u5: the script still works, at least for me.

Richard: All the scripts I develop use yours for updates. Thank you very much.

If you ever care to update the list of scripts that use your, here is the list:

• Facebook Packrat Autoclicker
• Facebook Monsters Enhancer

dunno it aint showin on grease mokey user script commands :( for me

is this script still working?

i can't make updates to my scripts...
i have to change something in source of script?

it donesn't updates nothing :´(

I like that I can use this to add all the URLs for the scripts I've installed, but I wish that doing so were a bit easier.

Perhaps a keyboard shortcut for adding the URLs?

I know it's not meant to be used this way, but I prefer to use it this way so I'm ensured I'll get the updates whenever they come in :$

Also compatible with Google i&Search Dark + Enhancements (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12917); ENJOY!

I removed support for this from my script. I have seen no proof that it works, so I removed the useless code

Just a thought... is there anyway to set it up to only check for updates once every two weeks or so?

i was wondering if anyone could help me using this script functionality, i think i did it right but the script isn't detecting any new version even if there is...

the script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8938

The script called: digg - add mirrors, is also said to be compatible with this script. (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7585)

I believe that I got my script to support it too.

My script, which adds mirror links to articles on Digg.com (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8262) now supports your script as well.

Too bad you're not actively updating your script. It would have been nice to have more features in it, like custom interval-based update checks.

To the author:

Why do you require people who want to automatically update to add the var SCRIPT { ... }; to their script? Why not just make a parser function that parses the meta data alone?

I've enabled my Wordpress Linker script at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9421 to work with this script updater.

Updated my script A Re Modified MySpace to work with this script. At least I think I did it right.

I wish all the scripts on here were supported by this :p

this scrip is pretty good but is there any way of getting it to work on every script? i've started using script updater and this does work for all scripts. when will it work on more than tha 5 scripts above? what gives?

This is a marvelous idea, and it seems like you did a fantastic job. However, I am a little concerned with security considering the updates depend on unsafeWindow for transferring data between scripts. What is preventing a malicious website from grabbing that data and manipulating it to direct the user to install an even more malicious user script?

Is there some way to load the data in a shared object that is only accessible by greasemonkey scripts? Maybe a hash that is the same throughout all greasemonkey user scripts, but is not accessible via a website's javascript?
