Hi, is there any chance you can split up the "Entry action" option so that it can hide the "add star" and "email" actions but keep, "mark as read" ,"edit tags" and "send to"? As I consider the latter options pretty necessary functionality for reader.

The unnecessary "add star" and "email" options get in my way every time I'm trying to mark a story as read. I don't use email as a sharing tool, never have never will there's enough spam in the world already. Also I don't star news, Google's not a social platform nor a bookmarking service.

I tried to keep the options down to a minimum. While it certainly is possible to do, I don't think it's something I would add to the main script.

Two suggestions:
- Keep the entry actions hidden and use the keyboard shortcuts for the functions you need.
- Edit the script locally to get the desired results (let me know if you need help).

aww. Pity. Ok then, I know I can edit it locally, but it'll lead to problems next time I update your script.

Could you not do the option but keep it off the GUI? So I can edit the value manually, but it'll be persistent?

I have added four options available only from about:config. You will need to create the values and set them manually. These will allow you to hide entry action items individually (just make sure the "Entry actions" checkbox in the options dialog is unticked).

  • "Send to" - greasemonkey.scriptvals.http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/58577/Google Reader Absolutely Customizable.hideEntrySendTo
  • "Add star" - greasemonkey.scriptvals.http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/58577/Google Reader Absolutely Customizable.hideEntryStar
  • "Edit tags" - greasemonkey.scriptvals.http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/58577/Google Reader Absolutely Customizable.hideEntryTags

Glad to hear it. You came up with a good compromise and I hope others will find it useful as well.

Thanks for the about:config entries. I had been looking for something to get rid of the star, email, and edit tag options for awhile without removing the whole Entry bar. Fantastic!

I just tested with the latest code in Firefox and it worked for me. It's not explicitly stated above, but the about:config entries should be of type boolean and their value set to true in order to hide the corresponding element.
