Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / what is this forum software?

What is the underlying forum software for this place (userscripts.org)? Is it an opensource app?

Doesn't seem like phpBB or YaBB ... :)

Topic: Script development / semi-off-topic: how to publish a Firefix extension?

I'm interested in publishing an XPI (compiled) version of a greasemonkey script so that it's available as a Firefox add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/. I've looked around, and I can't find any place to "submit" add ons. Any ideas? What is the process for publishing add ons (extensions)?

Aha! Ok, that did the trick. Thanks!

The webboard reformatted it ... here it is again, this time HTML-escaped:

messageDiv.innerHTML = '<div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px;' +
		'border: 2px dotted #F00; ' +
		'font-size: 14px; font-family: arial; background-color: #FCC; z-index: 1000;' +
		'color: #000; margin:0px; padding:3px; font-weight:bold;"%gt;' +
		' ' + messageText + ' ' +
		'</div>';

I don't think there are any unbalanaced { }'s. I'm running this just fine in Greasmonkey (no js errors).

Here's the source ... it's not too long. Please see if you can spot any problems:

// ==UserScript==
// @name XXX Detector
// @namespace http://www.xxx.com
// @description Detects if a page is using xxx code
// @include *
// ==/UserScript==

function highlightElement(el, insertEmptyTag) {
var setHighlight = 0;
// stylize the element
try {
el.style.border='2px #f00 dotted';
el.style.background='#FCC';
setHighlight = 1;
if (insertEmptyTag && el.innerHTML.search(/^[ \n]*$/) != -1) {
// insert marker for empty divs
el.innerHTML = '<center><font>(empty)</font></center>';
}
}
catch (err)
{
;
}
return(setHighlight);
}

var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName( "script" );
var vendor = null;
var parseDivs = false;
var testAreas = 0;

for ( var i = 0; i < scripts.length; ++i ) {
var scriptEl = scripts[ i ];
// check both inline contents of a script block as well as its source (include file)
var codeTest = scriptEl.innerHTML + ';' + scriptEl.src;

if ( codeTest.search( /(^xxx|yyy|zzz)/i ) != -1 ) {
if (codeTest.search(/xxx/i) != -1) {
vendor = 'xxx';
parseDivs = true;
break;
} else if (codeTest.search(/yyy/i) != -1) {
vendor = 'yyy';
parseDivs = true;
break;
} else if (codeTest.search(/zzz/i) != -1) {
vendor = 'zzz';
parseDivs = true;
break;
}
}
}

if (vendor != null) {
if (parseDivs) {
// walk through the DOM and highlight xxx div's
var testZones = document.getElementsByTagName( "div" );

for ( var i = 0; i < testZones.length; ++i ) {
var testZone = testZones[ i ];

if (testZone.id.search(/^(xxx|yyy|zzz)/i) != -1) {
// count test areas, but only if they're not hidden
if (testZone.style.visibility != 'hidden' && testZone.style.display != 'none' && highlightElement(testZone, true)) {
testAreas++;
}
}
}
}

var messageDiv = document.createElement("div");
var messageText = vendor + ' code detected (' + testAreas + ' areas)';
messageDiv.id = "logo";
messageDiv.innerHTML = '

//alert('done');

I tried that one, too... but after I install the XPI and restart, I keep getting a javascript alert saying "Error: missing } after function body".

Any ideas?

I have one simple function in my script:

function highlightElement(el) {
var setHighlight = 0;
// stylize the element
try {
el.style.border='2px #f00 dotted';
el.style.background='#FCC';
setHighlight = 1;
}
catch (err)
{
;
}
return(setHighlight);
}

...can't see why that would cause a problem. It works fine under the regular greasemonkey extension.

Topic: Script development / how to compile a greasemonkey script into .XPI for Firefox 2.0+

I'm trying to compile a greasemonkey script... found some compiler sites (i.e. http://www.letitblog.com/greasemonkey-compiler/) but they don't appear to work with Firefox v2.0.x. Any ideas for 2.0 compatible compilers?

thanks!

Topic: Script development / how to show a message in the status bar (chrome, not window.status)?

I've written a little script that shows a message in the browser's status bar every time a certain piece of HTML appears on a page. It uses window.status javascript, but the problem is sometimes the HTML page's own javascript overwrites my window.status value....

So I'm wondering how one can write a message to the *chrome* part of the window - either at the top (menu/toolbar) or at the bottom of the browser (i.e. botton/right, where FF extensions often put information).

Is such a thing possible in Greasmonkey?

thanks!
