Greasemonkey!

LiveJournal Thread Expander with Expand All
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/27128
I've hacked up a Thread Expander script for Greasemonkey. It has only been tested on a small number of layouts, but it seems to work for me so please bang on it and report any breakages here.

For recent updates see below. What does it do?
We've all

Don't know why, but I just can't take to GreaseMonkey, which means it's probably a good job I use LJA**O*s instead.

You did make me LOL with "probably the only person in the world who browses with Greasemonkey enabled and JavaScript disabled", but I suspect you're wrong - you can't be the only nutter in the world. ;)

Oh well. It demonstrates my LJ + Geek credentials though, no? ;-)

Um. What??

I know, it's probably a Firefox extension. I don't do Firefox extensions, because I use SeaMonkey - which brings me to…

Still sure? :-)

I use SeaMonkey. So you definitely aren't the only nutter...

In opera...

[ext_72852]

... save as .user.js to clue opera in to greasemonkey notation
(in particular, make the js run after the page has finished loading)
... have user js which supplies GM_ functions for opera
(maybe only needed for the GM_log debugging)
... top-level 'return' is a syntax error, I replaced with 'exit'
... unsafeWindow is a greaseMonkey object, replace instances with 'window'

seems to be working now. Ace.

(can we have a 'collapse again' in V2?)

Re: In opera...

A year late, but I've tried to incorporate the above points in the current version of the script.

As for V2, I guess that's a long way off. ;-)

There's one line that trips up Opera, otherwise it works nicely. It's this one:
if (info == undefined) return;

I changed return to exit and it works great, no JavaScript errors, even on Dreamwidth! It does need the gmfunctions helper script, like most scripts that weren't written especially for Opera.

Thank you so much!

Okay, so way late, but I just wanted to say thanks for posting this comment! Couldn't get it to work even after the gmfunctions-file I found somewhere else, but return -> exit, and it works like a charm!

Now if only Opera would be a bit quicker at this whole thing and not fail when the site gets too long... But it's not like I'll switch browser anyways, they've got me hooked.

This looks awesome! Does it work on JournalFen and/or Dreamwidth etc?

[weaverandom]

(obviously, I mean if one adds JournalFen.Net etc to the list of sites to apply it to.)

[imc]

I have no idea whether it works… why not try it and see?

It depends on how much those other sites have tinkered with the comment-displaying code and what their styles are like. I don't know, since I don't have accounts on those sites (and of course Dreamwidth wasn't a reality at the time when I posted this code).

[nostariel]

Sadly, it does not seem to work. Which suuuucks, as I don't yet have a paid account over there.

ETA: Works on the ?format=light pages, w00t!

ETA 2: Also on site-style pages, yay!

Now if it only worked one the custom comments pages, which all the styles seem to default to...

[rinaldo]

Great Script! Thank you!

"Expand all" function unavaiable on some journals, maybe it depends of a style used.

[imc]

It does depend on the style used. If you can give me examples of pages that don't work (they have to be publicly accessible, obviously) then when I have time I'll try to incorporate that style.

Oh, thank you! My old unfold all addons had stopped working.
