Scriptlance bookmarks anyone? ;-)

[blom]

Hey people.

I was bored yesterday, so I started messing with Greasemonkey scripts and decided to add bookmarking support to Scriptlance. I know a few programmers out there would love this feature, so here's how it works.


Install Greasemonkey (http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/)
Go to my page: http://helpmewith.it/
Login with your scriptlance account information
Follow the link saying your personal user script and install it


After you've installed the user.js file, you will see the following on a project page (notice the bookmark/tag image in front of the project title):

All you need to do, is to click on that image. Your bookmark will be stored on my server and can be seen again in your member page like this:

I'm planning to add more features, but if you know of any features you'd like to see, feel free to post it here!

No offense, but I don't think anyone will enter his/her SL user name and password at some site other than Scriptlance.

Right, I was aware of that, yet new features may include that we do need to know that the programmer is really the one who (s)he really is (s)he claims. As of yet, I'll hack it out, so you can create your own new user/pass.

EDIT: done, now you can choose your own username/password. This might change in the future, if needed, but for now, happy bookmarking!

wow...this is awesome!
is it compatible with the Opera JS framework?
it would be great if we could use this in Opera as well.

I don't use Opera (anymore), so I'm not sure whether it has something like Greasemonkey. I heard MSIE had something like Vixie (???) which was similiar, yet never heard of a similar Opera tool.

If there is, let me know and I'll see what I can do ;-)

I found this :

http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/userjs/examples/

I don't really know anything about JS or the Opera framework, but there are many greasemonkey scripts which are compatible with Opera...I just don't know how it works.

Good work on that script man!

Ah yes, unfortunately, Opera's user JS files don't have GM_xmlhttprequest, meaning, we cannot use some good ole' cross domain requests (and that's exactly what we do need here :-( )

I also came across GreasemonkIE (http://www.daishar.com/blog/archives/2005/03/greasemonkey_fo.html) for our MSIE fans out there. Could someone please test that one? I lack a Microsoft Windows machine...

Good work on that script man!

Thanks ;-) Expect more features "soon".

Of course I mean the Account Management (https://www.scriptlance.com/cgi-bin/freelancers/freelancers.cgi?manage=1) page, here on Scriptlance...

@ blom :

It's still going great and I'm loving it.
I was wondering if we'll be seeing more of these amazing scripts of your in the near future?
