[BRAINSTORM] Any requests for custom extensions/user scripts for BitcoinTalk?

[Initscri]

After looking through the extension list here, along with creating a few extensions/scripts of my own, I'm more or less curious to see what the community actually wants in terms of scripts/extensions.

I thought I'd open up a thread to gauge interest, and see if anyone who doesn't code may have ideas regarding extensions/scripts.

If you have a script idea you'd like to see, post it below, and maybe I or another programmer will pick it up.

Provide as much detail/examples as you can to explain you idea!

Cheers!


Reserved, will attempt to organize links to ideas here...

Excellent idea! It is just a beginning of amazing upcoming things (userscripts/ addons). It is too soon to think of groups (categories) of userscripts or add-ons, but I believe when suggestion from community become larger, OP should sort them out into groups (categories). To clarify, some sort of groups (categories) like:
- Forum UI
- Archive tool
- Signature screening tool
- Flag screening tool
- etc.
BTW, you reminded me that months ago, I saw addons for Bitcointalk Theme, there: ✔️ GREEN THEME/STYLE for Bitcointalk.org | 2019.
Suggestion:
Orginated from that topic, I created my topic: [Guide] Viewing images without quoting posts/ OPs.
Can you (or others) can build an userscript to view Images without quoting posts/ OPs, and don't have to spend a little time to visit post histories?

So, essentially, just an extension that would perhaps put a minor link near the original link to the image, which says "Show image from newbie".
If clicked, it would pull the image essentially replacing the link w/ the image in the DOM.

You essentially just don't want to have to open it up in a new window?

Sort of like this: https://i.imgur.com/9TFT3sJ.png

Did i get that right?

Yes, mainly to avoid phishing sites. Because there are so many image storage/ upload providers, that we are not able to know them all. It's better if we can see images without clicking on links and visit those sites. My trick works fine if images attached in posts published recently, we can easily visit post history and find that post. However, it will costs a little more time if we have to find posts made months ago, just to view images.

So, the question is, if you want to see images posted by Newbies (and don't buy Copper Membership). You can directly click on links to see images, but this way will put you under risks of phising link traps. Clicking on links is fine if you know well about those sites, but the fact is there are so many sites provide image uploads, so you are not able to know them all.  Consequently, if you have such habit, you might instantly click on links to unknow sites, that are potentially phising sites. Be careful!

TBH, that's not a super hard ask.

If I get the time, I'll see if I can code something up.

I would like the ability to click on a link on a post that starts a PM to the author of the post that says:

Hi [username],

Regarding [link to post]

One click links on a post to view a person's post history and thread creation history would also be nice. As would a one click link to a user's gettopics link from a post.

I strongly prefer something that can be run from greesemonkey.

Thanks.

scripts such which shows the most merited post of specific user on his profile(asce/desc). shows most red trust user. shows list of posts, thread.

EDITED: Add-on which allows users to view all page even if thread has more than 50 or 100 pages.

users can view all messages on one page.

That wouldn't be too difficult, I can repurpose https://github.com/Initscri/BPIP-Chrome-Extension/blob/master/content-script.js for this

Icons or just text links?

[TheBeardedBaby]

How about a reporting bot based on a given text/link. Monitoring resent posts and reports.
It would be very useful for my CLUB

Something we can chase stuff like this >

***

The link of spam has changed
old t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEvVWaRnXNQkA0G-aA
new t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEvVWaR_kl9EzH_b2g

Another change
old t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEvVWaRnXNQkA0G-aA
old t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEvVWaR_kl9EzH_b2g
New t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEvVWaQByBeaoezapA

edit
not even time to write, that any new spam has been removed

I was wondering if TryNinja already did this but if not maybe I should ask this here.

You can alredy make a quote manually (by getting the unixtime, link, author and using it in the quote format). So, Maybe I can try creating a script for this, if anyone is interested.

This is opened by iasenko on his topic Quote posts from locked topics? Why it's not allowed?, I guess this will be better script for a hassle-free quoting of replies even it is locked.

[owlcatz]

Is it only me, or does anyone else wake up to a 2-page watchlist of mostly crap they don't care about? Then having to click on each one and "unwatch" it....

How about a quick un-watch button on the watchlist page?   I would love this myself!

Thanks!

Totally forgot about this one.

I'll give it a try (if OP doesn't do it first).

Edit: I managed to make it work, but I'm trying to fix a problem that happens when the post you're trying to post has another quote inside. Hard stuff for someone who sucks at js

Edit 2: ok so... due to the way I made the script, there was some issues like not breaking lines correctly and bugging out when there are multiple quotes in the post. Because of that, I'll remake the script so it has less bugs.

Text links are preferable. Thanks.

I've thought that it'd be interesting to publish an adblocker subscription for signatures. You can block individual users' signatures with eg. bitcointalk.org##.sig186520, and/or you can try to block signature ads generally with filters like bitcointalk.org##.signature table.


Userscripts are a good idea. Let me know if some small change on my end will help your userscript a lot.

Does it affect on forums signature(which comes from your auctions?)?
Singature adblocker is really bad idea for the campaigns. If every forum member will start using this then there will be low result for signature campaigns.
And it will prevent upcoming campaigns.
and yeah there will be development(ad blocker for signature, not for specific users, for every users) in this ad blocker will come and it will attract users to use this ad blocker and this will affect on campaigns(likely not on running but upcoming campaigns).

Probably no. Forum ads is HTML code, signatures are made using BBCode, so it's two different things.

[TryNinja]

I've been thinking about script similar with Enhanced merit UI [1.1], but showing total merit sent & count of merit transaction to the merited user from user's merit summary (which means total & count in last 4 months)

My concern is loading time to obtain and process the data, is it possible to make such script but works quickly?

With an API that returns the merit data and if the script is only activated when you click on an specific user rather than preloading it for every user on the page, then yes.

The main problem is probably getting the merit data. You would need to make your own scraper to get merit data and then build an API or maybe ask Vod or Loyce for an API.

A script that automatically sends you a PM me with any threads you were mentioned in would be good.

I'd also like a script that adds a chatbox to the site, allowing users to casually chat with one another.

It doesn't send PMs but there is this "Maggiordomo" bot that posts in your "mentions" thread or send you a message on Telegram everytime you get mentioned/quoted.

[RELEASED] @mention notification bot - now with Telegram

FYI, when I get the chance, I'll be adding post links to the reserved sections just to keep this a tad more organized. See responses below.

I think Piggy updated it to where it does actually support PMs.

Awesome! Thank you, I will for sure let you know if anything comes up

I think he only meant thread signature campaigns. The ones you join.

Out of respect for the forums operations & theymos, I wouldn't build an adblock for the actual forum ads themselves.

@theymos, It'd be nice to block entire signature campaigns in general (incase one becomes rather annoying w/ their ads). For example, you block one user w/ the signature ad + tick a box that says "Block others with the same signature as well". It would block the original users signature + look for matching BBcode/HTML and block the rest.
