New Facebook Rewrite
|
|
All the changes lately means I need to rewrite this script in the near future. It's been slowly growing in size as Facebook as made changes and I add things to block. I need to go back and make sure that I'm only blocking things the need to be. If you have suggestions of what I should hide post it here. Btw, Facebook has made it really really really hard to be able to target app stories. I'm serious, they're fucking nazi's with this new site. Also just some random trivial ya'll might be interested to know. This script was created in the summer of '07. Remember that Facebook started the application platform in the spring of '07 (it was at this time that I release my first script: "Facebook Video"). As of May 2009 this script has been completely rewritten four separate times. |

Whew! It was a lot of work but I fixed up Facebook yet again. Hope I made it easier for you to look at Facebook. |

Sorry about having to update so soon, but I found you could get rid of those rounded corners on thumbnails and since they annoy the crap out of me I thought it was worth another update. Also I've decided to put some actual comments in this release lol. I've not done that since I started using CSS. It's also great to know that this latest update is getting some good feedback lol. Seriously, Perplexed Guide, what the fuck? You must be one of those users obsessed with some Facebook game(ahem Mobwars) and were surprised to find that my script hides all applications. Sorry buddy, my script has always done that and if I stopped I'd surely lose all my users, and wouldn't be able to use Facebook myself. |

Hi... great script. It clears the front page up very nicely.
Other than that, keep up the good work :) |

My script does much more than clean up the front page, though the other changes are so smooth you probably didn't even notice. Edit: I had the same problem as you Dalsgaard and found out that Facebook decided to change their code just recently. Got the fix and I'll roll it out with the next update(2.1.9). Edit again: Well I just updated the script again. I'm removing a little more stuff with this update. I've completely fixed the problem Dalsgaard mentioned with the new seekAndDestroy function lol. |

Okay guys, this latest update(2.2.2) is a massive improvement, full of all sorts of little goodies. Enjoy :-) |

So I keep having to make more changes because Facebook is hastily trying to fix all the problems with their new layout. For instance, for awhile now Facebook has put requests above the compose box, and UnFuck moved them back to the right. Now today Facebook decides to move them back to the right so I had to remove that part of my code. No complaits here since it saves me from having to run a good chunk of code. |

So now Facebook lets you manually block each individual application from the newsfeed. My latest update blocks all the applications(like if you turn off my script you still don't see the apps) automatically using ajax! Woohoo! |
|
|
My latest update automatically blocks all application and pages invites. It is also possible to ignore event and group invites, but since I figure most people probably want those, that code is commented out. So if you're like me and get a much of event and group invites and are just sick of having to click "Ignore" then un-comment the code. Btw You can view blocked apps on this page: http://www.facebook.com/privacy/?view=platform&... |

I love this, I hate the new facebook and this makes it so much better. I noticed that the home page doesnt seem to load though when I have a new message. not sure if this is just me or something others have experienced. |

Thank you so much for this, it is a life saver. A few bugs I've had is that on the front page the links to expand the comments on statuses does not work, and the links to "Like" things on the front page also doesn't work. Other than that, great work! |

So in the latest version(2.3.1) your status is back on the home page. It replaces the useless "What's on your mind?" text. It was inspire by this script with the addition of the clear status link by me. |

In response to Finlay's review:
if(right=document.getElementById('home_sidebar'))
right.appendChild(document.getElementsByClassName('UIHotStream')[0].parentNode.parentNode);

It seems that occasionally the home page does not load, so I just get a blank screen, with the grey chat bar on the bottom.

I'm still trying to come up with a way to fix this. For now, just keep reloading the page and eventually the page will show up again. |

Ah, I understand. Thanks for the quick reply and for the script period! |
|

This is a nice script. Is there a way to block all the ads? I still see some ads on the right hand side. Also, is it possible to modify the code to display events and group invites from users of a specified friend list? |
|
|
would it be possible to hide the "Highlights" section? |
