Great script grue, thanks!

Just a little thing though, when I tried installing and using the script it would tell me 'Failed to give merit' whenever I tried to reward it. I found that this was a session error due to how you get 'sc'.
I've made a small fix here (on lines 12-14), which works for me currently:

Code:

  //get csrf token
  var sc = $('input[name="sc"][type="hidden"]').val();
  sc = (!sc ? ($('a[onclick]')[1].href).split('sesc=')[1] : sc);

Getting the same error, great you already spotted and fixed it
Also, very well done grue, the extra page to open when giving merit was one of the most criticized aspect of this change.
Thanks!

thanks. turns out that if you don't have quick reply enabled, the input with the token isn't there. i updated the script to use the token from the logout link (which should always be there).

Much better than my suggestion here; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.msg28914391#msg28914391

Good job. Didn't know you worked for Microsoft (that windows.net link >_>)

[EcuaMobi]

Thanks for this!
I just found it and it's really useful. So here's a little bump for others to find it.

Also, could you add a small link to own Merit stats (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit) ?
Sometimes I used to click "+Merit" just to go there.



Edit:
I just realized I posted the wrong link. I meant own Metir stats.
Something like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;msg=29410086 (with the corresponding msg)

[sncc]

Thank you, this is very nice UI.
Adding stats link would be interesting but imho it would be more useful if one could check his/her own (not others') sMerit balance when trying to send Merit.
Could you implement it like this image?

[adrianto1995]

oh man you da real MVP

it really helpful a lot, especially for low speed internet connection users like me... 
i will try it when i got my sMerit back...

[Vod]

Nice userscript!!

I won't be using it, as I like the info presented in a new window when I click the merit button. 

[akamit]

Great job Grue! A useful script for lazy guys.
I hope lazy guys will not hesitate anymore to merit someone's post now and then or will be able to show another excuse.

A responsible bump for the lazy mates, those who have waited long for this.

Hi grue, thank you very much for the great script!

Best regards,

Amazing - thank you!

[ungvantuyen]

Thanks Chris for the great works. How about drop-down list of meriters correspond to number of merits they sent. It will help to clear appearance of topics and threads that have abundant meriters. I don't remember the source of the idea, but I read about the idea somewhere in the ground.

[EcuaMobi]

I have combined my own suggestion as well as sncc's and modified grue's script to implement them.

This is the result:


The available sMerit points are shown. 'Available' is a link which opens the default https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;msg=30923337 (with the corresponding msg) in a new window to keep the original functionality.

Here's the modified source. grue, feel free to update your original code if you like the change:

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        bitcointalk merit
// @namespace   grue
// @include     https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=*
// @require     https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-3.3.1.min.js

(() => {
  var sMerit;
  
  //get csrf token from the logout link
  let sc = $('td.maintab_back a[href*="index.php?action=logout;sesc="').attr("href");
  sc = /;sesc=(.*)/.exec(sc)[1];
  
  //Added by EcuaMobi: Get remaining sMerit
  $.post(
	"https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;msg=29048068"
  ).then((data) => {
    sMerit = /You have <b>([0-9]+)<\/b> sendable/.exec(data)[1];
  }).catch(() => sMerit = null);

  //selector for the "+Merit" link
  $('td.td_headerandpost div[id^=ignmsgbttns] a[href*="index.php?action=merit;msg="]')
  .each((i, e) => {
    const msgId = /msg=([0-9]+)/.exec(e.href)[1];
    
    const $popup = $(['<div id="grue-merit-popup' + msgId +'" class="grue-merit-popup" style="position: absolute; right: 40px; background-color: #ddd; font-size: 13px; padding: 8px;border-width: 1px;border-color: black;border-style: solid;">',
      '  <form>',
      '    <div>',
      '      Merit points: <input size="6" name="merits" value="0" type="text"/>',
      '    </div>',
	  // Modified by EcuaMobi
      '    <div style="margin-top: 6px; "><span id="em-smerit-count' + msgId +'" style="font-size:11px;" /> <input value="Send" type="submit"></div>',
      '  </form>',
      '</div>'
    ].join("\n"));
    $popup.find("form").submit( (e) => {
      e.preventDefault();
      $popup.find('input[type="submit"]')
        .prop("disabled", true)
        .val("Sending...");
      const merits = e.target.elements["merits"].value;
      
      $.post(
        "https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit",
        {merits, msgID: msgId, sc}
      ).then((data) => {
        //Error pages usually have this (rough heuristic)
        if(data.includes("<title>An Error Has Occurred!</title")) {
          throw "error";
        }
        //double check and see whether the post we merited was added to the list. Its msgId should be visible in the page source.
        if(data.includes("#msg" + msgId)) {
          alert("Merit added.");
          $("#grue-merit-popup" + msgId).toggle(false);
		  // Added by EcuaMobi
		  if(sMerit!=null) { sMerit -= merits }
          return;
        }
        alert("Server response indeterminate.");
      })
      .catch(() => alert("Failed to add merit."))
      .always(() => {
        $popup.find('input[type="submit"]')
        .prop("disabled", false)
        .val("Send");
      });
    });
    $popup.insertAfter(e);
    
    $(e).click((e) => {
      e.preventDefault();
      $("#grue-merit-popup" + msgId).toggle();
	  // Added by EcuaMobi
	  if(sMerit!=null) { $("#em-smerit-count" + msgId).html('<a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;msg='+msgId+'" target="_blank">Available:</a> <b>'+sMerit+'</b> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;') };
    });
  });
   $(".grue-merit-popup").toggle(false);
   
})();

I've clearly marked the modified code with either "Added by EcuaMobi" or "Modified by EcuaMobi". I also changed the version

A small limitation is that it queries the available sMerit points once (when the thread is loaded). It does subtract them when points are sent. However, if sMerit points are received the change won't be reflected unless the page is reloaded. That would require re-querying every time which I considered an overkill.

To install this version, you can just modify grue's script or install this from scratch:
https://openuserjs.org/scripts/EcuaMobi/bitcointalk_merit

(grue, I assumed this code is open-source. If that's not the case, let me know to unpublish this)

[Meraki]

Thankyou for this it worked smoothly, really useful for me bc i hate the fact that new tab is opening for clicking the merit!

[UsernameBitcoin]

Great addition! This was required especially in the light of the changes to the merit system. I just found about the merit system today and was looking for a way to give merits easily.


Is it possible to integrate this into the forum itself? Using some simple machines plugin maybe?

Awesome, the landlord is really a technology expert, this must support, will not be so troublesome later.

Thanks for this upgrade, it was absolutely necessary. Not knowing how many sMerits you still have when you are about to give one was not an option, given their overall scarcity (most people have just a few sMerits).

As an FYI, if you are a merit source, this will not account for your source merit, and will only display your accumulated sMerit.

This is a script I will be using. I like not having to deal with a popup every time I give merit.
