Userscripts.org

I don't have those characters on my keyboard so I wouldn't be able to begin testing. Try finding the link you want in the source, and then match the inner html.

There you go crazian...in case you aren't familiar with regular expressions, something like this should accomplish what you want:

modifyLink ("Add .* as a Friend", "Desired Link Text", "Desired Link Path", 1);

If anyone is confused or has any questions, just let me know.

So if I understand you right, you want to be able to change a certain link which may have a different name depending on who's profile your on? eg. Add [insert name] as a Friend.

In this version here that is not possible, however it isn't hard to implement. I'll be implementing regular expressions soon, so you'll be able to do tons of stuff with the name matching.

Sounds good. Keep in mind that since this script requires a fair amount of modification to the source from a users perspective, I want to keep it as simple as possible for users less experienced with javascript. So I'll make a "mode selection" method with an additional selection parameter that will call the appropriate modification method.

Another good idea, I'm on vacation for the rest of this week, but there are obviously tons of improvements to be made which I will do upon my return.

For the moment, feel free to modify the script to better suit your needs,

Cheers

Thanks for the tips, as I guess you could tell I've only just started to dabble in JavaScript recently.

However I think I'll leave the option of using indexOf to the user. Consider a site like Facebook where there are many link titles which contain the word "friends" for example. You may wish to modify the "friends" link, but not the "5 of your friends" link. So if you would rather match substrings, then make the change that Joe suggested. Otherwise enter the text in exactly. What I will do, however, is make the equality case insensitive.

P.S, What I'll do later on (too busy now) is allow you to search using substrings, and give the option of only replacing the substring instead of the entire text.

I don't have a list of what sites this will work on for sure, though it seems to work well with wikipedia as well. You'll need to just use trial and error to figure out on what links it will work, and what ones it won't (works on almost all links in Google).
