Title: [Feature request] Add own JavaScript scripts Post by: jackjack on September 09, 2014, 04:25:17 PM I know that could be dangerous for newbies but it's much more practical than using Greasemonkey, moreover for phones/tablets.
It's nearly nothing to implement but is a great feature. If you really think rogue scripts are really an issue the setting could be put in an hidden place, only js files from github/pastebin/etc could be used, js files must be pre-approved, etc. Title: Re: [Feature request] Add own JavaScript scripts Post by: Muhammed Zakir on September 10, 2014, 10:02:46 AM It is great. It is better than using Greasemonkey and also in mobiles and all, it will help very much.
If you really think rogue scripts are really an issue the setting could be put in an hidden place, only js files from github/pastebin/etc could be used, js files must be pre-approved, etc. Yeah! Something like that should be included. Do it need a separate staffs(new) who are trustworthy and have skill in languages atleast Java? It would be great than Mod/Admin approval. OR they can make 2 approvals, after staffs(new) approve the script, they can submit an approval ticket(or something like that) to Admins and then Admin can approve the script. I think the 2nd option would be more secure but only if Admins are less busy. ::) ~~MZ~~ Title: Re: [Feature request] Add own JavaScript scripts Post by: Initscri on September 17, 2014, 01:45:11 AM I think this would function better as a choice "app store" model.
Creators can submit javascript snippets to be included within the website. Each snippet could serve a certain feature or purpose. Users can choose which "apps" they would like to use or implement, and the forum would implement all selected javascript snippets (apps) for the browser of the user only when any part of the website is loaded.

The moderators and staff will become very busy and won't have time for anything else. I think that a highly intelligent not should be made to find out acting suspicious
Title: Re: [Feature request] Add own JavaScript scripts Post by: deluxeCITY on November 11, 2014, 04:55:58 PM I don't think the risk:reward ratio is good for this one. The potential for added functionality/useability from user created "apps" is not very great while the risk that there is some malicious code embedded into a script is much too great, especially considering the fact that there is no guarantee that the person/people who "vet" the scripts would be able to catch every piece of malicious code, which could potentially lead to a lot of stolen money
