Tim, Great script. I had used the Game Log link script, but hadn't tried this yet. Very helpful.

@John Gillson: I'm surprised you had to uninstall the old one. I still had mine installed, and when I installed the new version, it created the directory and put the necessary scripts in there. I guess it may be a difference between FF2 and FF3. Glad to hear it's working.

Edit: I just tried to install it on another browser, and the old version was still installed. Good to know!

I thought I had uninstalled the old one awhile ago once it stopped working with FF3 and it turns out I didn't. Everything works now, thanks!

@John Gillson: What problems are you seeing?

I'm using Firefox 3 as well and it's not working for me. Strange.

 
Brierley User

Works for me perfectly so far, using the latest stable build of Firefox 3.

Thank you so much, been eagerly awaiting this one :)

I've updated the script. I don't have Firefox 3 (yet), so I don't know for sure if it works. But, I used Glenn Carr's updated script as a template, so it should work. If someone with FF3 could test it and post back the results, I would appreciate it.

In a post on June 11th, I mentioned that this script breaks the new Yahoo interface for football. It appears the changes I made no longer breaks football.

@suckerpuncher: I've tried to move players in football and baseball with the updated script (in FF2), and I have no issues. Hope it works for you too.

Sorry for the late update.

 
Tim Wilson Script's Author

Sorry, I haven't had time to update it. I hope to work on it soon.

I've encountered a big problem while using this script on the new Yahoo! Fantasy Football 2008.

As soon as this script is activated I'm not able to Drag&Drop players anymore. It just maaks the text but I can't move them around.

I hope it's fixable.

The same goes for the Yahoo Fantasy Smack Tooltip by Glenn.

Tim, great script!

Any chance you can get this working with FF3? I saw that the script this was based off of was updated and now works so I'm itching for an update of this as well!

Yahoo has opened up Fantasy Football for the 2008 season. They have changed the interface some, and certain scripts cause the new interface to behave incorrectly. For example, if you hover over the "My Team" link, a sub-menu will open up, allowing you to directly go to a particular page instead of having to click on "My Team" then clicking on the link for the page you want. However, with some scripts enabled for football, the sub-menu disappears, making it so you cannot click on an entry in the sub-menu. This script is one of those scripts. I will be working on it to see what I can do to fix the problem (and hopefully get it working in FF 3).

I have found the following scripts also break the new interface:
Yahoo Fantasy Baseball Player Notes (The version that was made to work for football and basketball)
Yahoo Fantasy Smack Tooltip

@ tim wilson

okay, thanks! just wanted to make sure i wasn't doing something wrong myself.

 
Tim Wilson Script's Author

searchforsunrise: I have not tested on FF 3 yet. I'm waiting for it to go final before I try it. Sorry. It's possible that is the problem. Looks like I'll have to fix my script(s) when FF 3 comes out.

 
Brierley User

hi there,

would there be any particularly obvious reason why i can't seem to get the tooltip to appear?

I do have the "Game Log Link" script installed and placed before this script in the script manager.

Also, I'm using FF 3 Beta 4 - the script works for me on my portable install of FF 2.0.0.13 .. I'm assuming that's the problem, but just wondering if maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks, great script!

 
Brierley User

incredible, thank you so much :)

 
Glenn Carr Scriptwright

Good stuff, Tim.

 
Tim Wilson Script's Author

Haloducks, glad you like it. I'll see what I can do, but it probably will be more work than it was getting this to work for hockey.

 
haloducks Scriptwright

hi Tim, can you put this magic gamelog tooltip in the box score? lol, I just love this script, and hope it can be used in the box score too.

 
haloducks Scriptwright

Thanks Tim, it works great in hockey as well.

 
Tim Wilson Script's Author

Haloducks, it's possible, but I don't play fantasy hockey. Football, basketball, and baseball is enough. :)

However, I did a little bit of investigating, and it turns out it was pretty easy to do. For this script, just add "*hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/*" to the "Included Pages" section of the "Manage User Scripts" screen in GreaseMonkey.

For the Game Log Link script, I've uploaded a new version that supports hockey. Install that version, and make the change to this script that I mentioned above. That should make it work for hockey. If not, let me know.

 
haloducks Scriptwright

nice script!!

is possible to make it function in fantasy hockey?

 
Tim Wilson Script's Author

Glad to here it Jake. Enjoy! Be sure to check out the other script I reference, the one written by Glenn Carr. That script shows the player notes when you hover over the note icon. That's where I got the idea for my script.

Thanks Tim. Works great now.
