Topic: Script development / Script Not Running

I've had this issue before, and I suggest two solutions.

Firstly, disable all other add-ons amd see if the srcipt runs then. This didn't work for me, so the second solution was that I created a new firefox profile and installed only greasemonkey and the script that wasn't working, and it worked fine. I don't spend much time on computers these days, but at some point I will get around to moving all of my other settings across to this new profile and using only that one.

Topic: Script development / Move an element to 0,0? First post, first script

It looks like you just want to change the style of some element with id some-id. If this is the case, it would be better for you to use the Stylish add-on, with css along the lines of...

#some-id {
  position: absolute !important;
  top: 0px !important;
  left: 0px !important;
  border: 3px solid red !important;
}

Topic: Ideas and script requests / Timezone script..

I've done something similar to this by using replace and split, eg. if you have a string myDate as "2008-07-30 05:32" then use split, ie.

var parts = myDate.replace(/[\s:]/g, "-").split("-");
var year = parts[0];
var month = parts[1];
etc..

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Script Categories?

This sounds a little like the Communities idea Jesse posted a few months back.

I agree that more structure would be good. A year ago I could easily keep up with every script that had been uploaded or updated, but due to having less time in general and with more scripts being uploaded/modified now (or at least, it seems that way), I can't keep up. Communities/categories would certainly help with this.

EDIT: How quickly exactly were you expecting a reply? I posted my reply only to see that shortly beforehand, within 8 minutes of posting your question, you've posted a follow-up asking again. In those 8 minutes perhaps you could have searched the internet or followed the link on the Greasemonkey page of the firefox add-ons site and searched the wiki yourself. If you try helping yourself instead of hounding others for help you might actually learn something.

Topic: Script development / scriptsss

I don't know if there's actually anything wrong with your scripts, but after briefly seeing their names I can tell you that you're unlikely to find much help on this website.

The 'scrap all' scripts have been a huge annoyance to a lot of people on this site, and if you don't understand what they do or how to do it, I'd recommend that you just quietly remove your scripts and stop posting on here.

I've not tested it, but if you just want it after every embed, then this should work...

embeds = document.getElementsByTagName("embed")
for (i = 0; i < embeds.length; i++)
  embeds[i].setAttribute("wmode", "transparent")

Topic: Ideas and script requests / renaming tab

As I said, look up regular expressions...

In the example that I linked, /^Facebook \| / is a regular expression. ^ denotes the beginning of the string, and \| is because the pipe is a special character so the slash escapes it so that the pipe is not evaluated. The 'W' and 'M' in your code aren't special characters, so you don't need to escape them.

Assuming that the title of the page you're trying to change starts with "Tribal Wars Map " then you want to use /^Tribal Wars Map /.

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Spam and malware

I was just looking up a script of Henrik's for this topic (this script here), and it looks like it's been duplicated here with one very minor change.

That user seems to have modified it and used it for a number of other applications which is fine but I'm not sure about the original duplication of Henrik's script.

... why?

Topic: Ideas and script requests / renaming tab

Have you tried looking at current scripts to see how they do it? I'd recommend you look at eg. Henrik's script here, and maybe look up regular expressions to help you understand it better.

Btw, on other topics I had posted in the forums about bugs and improvements... should I put it elsewhere? where? :)

Topic: Script development / link to pictuer

Yes there is. Try this...

links = document.evaluate('//a[contains(@href, "/pic-")]',document,null,XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,null)
for (i = links.snapshotLength - 1; i >= 0; i--) 
  links.snapshotItem(i).href = links.snapshotItem(i).href.replace(/\/pic-(\d+)\.html/i, "/$1.jpg")

Topic: Ideas and script requests / ?.jpg

[...] or else your url bar will get infinitely filled up with ?.jpg's.

Topic: Ideas and script requests / ?.jpg

So you want whatever address you go to to have ?.jpg appended to it? If that's the case, ignore my previous post .. you'd want...

window.location.replace(window.location.href + "?.jpg")

To install this in greasemonkey, right click the monkey face in the corner and select "New user script...". Fill in the details, and then paste that line into the script. Save it and then it should simply work.

Topic: Ideas and script requests / ?.jpg

Is that to every link, or to the location of the window? To add it to every link, the following would work...

for (i = document.links.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) 
  document.links[i].href += "?.jpg"
