How about making it recognize threads you posted in earlier, when you just visit them?

OK, I just finished version 1.0. I've made quite a few improvements over the old version. Now you can:
-Track any thread, regardless of whether you've posted in it
-Ignore individual threads you've posted in
-Temporarily turn off all highlighting
I've also fixed up my code a bit. Download from www.quasi.ca/flickr/gt/ and tell me if there are problems, please.
Now I'm going to bed. *yawn*

I'm not sure if it's just me, but your highlight script does not work if I have the Degradr script enabled at the same time.
Posted 57 months ago.
(

|

Hmm, now that's interesting. I can't reproduce your problem, so I suspect it might have something to do with other scripts you're running. BTW, Degradr is set by default to affect all of flickr.com, even though it's making changes only on photo pages. If you want to use both, try changing Degradr's @includes to www.flickr.com/photos/ and flickr.com/photos/.
Posted 57 months ago.

Right now I've disabled everything except for Degradr and flickr group tracker. I'm still getting the same problem.
And for degradr I have the following included:
flickr.com/*
www.flickr.com/*
Very weird that it's not working for me while using those two scripts at the same time.

Well, I've diagnosed the problem. It's a Degradr problem, probably caused by using "ps_photo_id" on non-photo pages. There are three things you can do:
1. Uninstall and reinstall Degradr. As long as it's lower down in the list than GT, it won't cause problems (but if you install any scripts after that, the new scripts probably won't work).
2. Fix Degradr so it checks whether variables exist before trying to use them.
3. Set Degradr to affect only /photos/* instead of all of Flickr.
I'd recommend #3, since it's easier than option 2, but more reliably than option 1.

quas, ive found a small problem with this script, the "Highlight this thread" text and checkbox, are nearly completely obscured by the "google ads" iframe in the top left corner. Does anyone else get this problem? Im using firefox 1.03, along with a few gm scripts, but i dont think they would be interfering in this case.
I think the css might need to be tweaked for the P container tag. adding "padding-top:10;" seems to fix the problem for me...

Oh, that's something I hadn't thought of. Being a "pro", I never see ads on Flickr, so it never even occurred to me that the thread toggle might be anywhere near an ad.
I'll see about fixing it this weekend (maybe sooner, if I'm lucky!). Thanks for letting me know.

I haven't noticed any major bugs or anything, but I'll let you know if I do. (too bad it doesn't work until you have actually read that thread, but I guess once you are using it for a while, that won't be a problem anymore)

This is wonderful. Just trying it out now...
What I would also like to have with this script is the possibility to highlight any groups that I've (recently) participated in, on the Groups page.
For example, say I participate in a particular group's discussion, but that group falls down the list on my Groups page. If the group name is highlighted, I can quickly identify it as a relevent group for me to visit.
Or can this functionality be achieved with another existing script?

Thanks a lot, mhusson! Works like a charm.
premasagar – I can't do that right now because the script has no way of knowing what group a thread belongs to (it just knows the thread ID). I'm going to be fixing it up and improving it a lot over the summer, though. That will mean a lot of cool things, hopefully including what you've mentioned. For example, now that we have GM_getValue/GM_setValue, I'll be storing the tracking list there instead of in cookies. Without the cookie size limit to worry about, I can store all sorts of cool stuff, like thread titles and groups they belong to. I have some interesting things planned; trust me!

I don't know if this is one of the things you have planned, but here's an idea to expand on my previous comment:
Once it can be known which thread belongs to which group, it'd be great to have a little row of links, something like:
"View All Threads / Threads You Started / Threads Participated In / Watched Threads".
And I think the idea has come up before of being able to sort groups into sets or categories. Now, that'd be cool.
I've only just started using Greasemonkey and haven't yet looked into writing scripts for it. I guess it's only a metter of time. I really appreciate the work all of you are putting into it.

Is the highlighting supposed to stick:
1. Over a Firefox restart?
2. Over a computer reboot?
If it is supposed to and doesn't, what settings could I try?
Posted 53 months ago.
(

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
Sounds like a cookie problem. Do you have any cookie-related extensions installed? Any cookie handling settings changed from the defaults? That's about all I can think of at the moment.
And the cookie-free version is coming, once GM 0.5 gets out of beta.

algo – sorry, I don't know why the cookies aren't sticking. :( I could let you try the new version if you'd like.
BTW, I just noticed that the URLs for threads have changed – whereas they used to be in the format
http://www.flickr.com/groups/topics/12345/
they're now in the format
http://www.flickr.com/groups/groupname/discuss/12345/
This is going to make it way easier to do fancy stuff with the group tracker in the future. Yay!

Hi all! I'm new to this group. Got referred to your user script from the WEEKLY pool. It was working fantastically until two days ago. It stopped highlighting and I can't "highlight current thread". Any ideas on what to do? Now that I've had it, I feel lost without it. Any help is appreciated.

So sorry for those who use it – due to the new improved discussion URLs, the script no longer recognizes group threads.
I'm really busy packing up for a move at the moment (and not using my own computer), but if someone else wants to fix the script, it should be fairly easy. Just change every reference to
flickr.com/groups/topic/[0-9]+/
to
flickr.com/groups/.+/discuss/[0-9]+/
That should do the trick.
Sorry I can't fix it at the moment. :(

quas: thank you this is the most usefull script ever, too bad you don't have the time to fix it, so...
here is a modified/ fixed version.
i had to deactivate the manual un-/ highlight checkbox, because i'm not that good in JS (my playground is PHP/MySQL), but the key feature - threads you posted in are highlighted - now works again.
i see this as a temporary fix, till quas can do the real one.
if you use this, you have to deactivate and/or deinstall the old one.

thanks sylvan, marc + netomer for your excellent work on the script so far :)
btw ive managed to get the "manual highlight" code "working" again. you can get the "fixed" script here
i say "fixed" as theres still a bug or two, but the actual manual highlighting of threads via the checkbox does seem to work now. once you refresh the group page, the threads should be highlighted on or off as you have specified. needs a bit more work to get it working perfectly, but thought i would share what i had done. if anyone wants to have a go at getting the last few bugs out, be my guest :)

i had another look at the script and managed to get it working with flickr gamma, you can get the "fixed" version here
btw i say "fixed" as there are still 3 bugs in it that i know about, tho they dont interfere with the running of the script too much. feel free to have a go at fixing them if u like.
1) the manual thread highlighting via checkbox code works but is a bit flaky.
2) the checkbox to turn on/off highlighting on the recent_changes page doesnt work
3) on the recent changes page, links that have "new reply" or "x new replies" get the "new reply/x new replies" bit stripped out, which is a bit annoying.

You could of course just utilize the Flickr search engine, like this: http://www.flickr.com/search/groups/?q=*saipal&m=discuss&s=act
Use it in combination with steev's Flickr Quick Links or scragz's More User Links and you have a powerful snooking tool!
Edit: Or even better, put the links in the buddy icon menu

the script stores data in a cookie file, the cookie file has a maximum limit of data it can hold, so its possible that your cookie file is full or it might also be possible that cookies are being blocked.

ive noticed that on certain monitors the yellow highlight doesnt show up too well, perhaps try adjusting your monitor to see if you can see the yellow highlighting. or you could try changing the highlight colour in the script. you might also want to check if cookies are enabled and not being blocked as the script stores its data in cookies.

doesn't appear to be a monitor issue. and i can see the yellow just fine in the screenshots too.
is the script going to ignore color coding if the link is highlighted as having been recently visited? is that my problem? i can't tell from a quick look at the code whether that's the case or not, although something i saw gave me the idea it might be the case.

If your username isn't the same as your account name (for example my username is "j / f / photos", but my accountname in URLs is "good-karma") the script wont' find your comments. I hacked a version where I statically set the "username" variable in the script to "good-karma" and it started working fine for me.
I'm not savvy enough in javascript (or motivated enough to learn it) to script a generic fix for everyone, but for anyone else out there that was wondering -- this is the problem :)
[edit]:
Firefox: 3.0

I'm sure the problem persists across all FF versions and GM versions, though.

It appears that Flickr's farm servers (which serve their images) have put some sort of character limit on requests, and if you have this GM script installed the cookie it creates can overload the request size.
If you are getting a lot of "broken image" links you might want to remove the usernameThreads cookie.
Just posting this here so other people don't embarrass themselves in the Help Forum like I did...

Yep. Today, I started getting the "broken image" links, so I disabled this script, cleared that cookie, and all is well again!
Thanks for the note.
