Revision history [back]

Hi everyone

I subscribed to the Jolla tablet. I used to own a Nokia N810, which I liked a lot, so I'm familiar with Maemo and developed a few small applications on it. I hope to do the same on the Jolla, so I joined this board to find out what it was I would be getting.

Anyway, to help me follow topics of interest here I wrote a couple of userscripts. They simply colour the dates of posts depending on whether I've previously read the question and whether there are any updates since. I mainly run them in Firefox on Android under the USI (User Script Injector) addon, but also on Firefox on desktop under Greasemonkey. It's not perfect, but I find it useful.

In case anyone would like to try them, they are here: https://gist.github.com/revad/8bb02d65a1ee35a59d66

With USI or Greasemonkey running click the RAW buttons to install them. I don't know whether the Jolla browser can run userscripts - can it?

My userscripts do not sync across devices, unfortunately; I have some ideas on how to do that, and I might get around to it one day.

Update 18-08-15

These userscripts only highlight updated questions and answers. They don't detect new comments, nor help find them - especially when the comments are collapsed. I want to be able to see at a glance whether a question has new comments, and once I know it does to be able to find them easily.

So I enhanced the scripts to find new comments, and automatically expand all comments before colouring them. I had to convert them into a Firefox addon to be able to do some of this on Android. It's still not perfect: multi-page questions can fool it, and there are timing issues too.

It you want to try it, it's here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/862480/pub/jolla_askbot_unseen_posts%40davero.addons.mozilla.org-1.0.0.xpihere: [link removed - see below]

This unsigned version will stop working in Firefox 41. I've submitted the addon to Mozilla for signing, but there's a long backlog so it will probably take several weeks to appear on AMO. It's passed Mozilla's basic security review but you can download and unzip the xpi file and examine the code yourself to check it's harmless.

Once installed there's a README accessible from the preferences dialogue. But there is a bug in the Addon SDK which prevents the preferences from appearing on Android. You can access the README with this URL:

resource://jolla_askbot_unseen_posts-at-davero-dot-addons-dot-mozilla-dot-org/data/README.txt

It still doesn't sync across devices though!

Update 19-08-15

The addon (still unsigned) is up on AMO:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/jolla-askbot-unseen-posts/

I assume users will get updated automatically to the signed version.

Feedback and questions welcome as comments here.

BTW - if anyone wants the two updated userscripts - before I made it a single Firefox addon - leave a comment. I ran it in Firefox on Desktop with workarounds for the security issues (mixed active content, same origin policy) and that may be possible in other browsers. Those issues only affect the question-list page; the userscript for the individual question, that expands and colours comments, has no security issues and can be run alone.

Update 25-08-15

Version 1.1 (now signed) adds an optional third colour - see the ReadMe. If you got it from my original Dropbox link please change to AMO.

It works with a couple of other Askbot sites that I tried. Sync will have to wait for Firefox bug 1024060.

It just occurred to me, reading a question about the ask/submit button, that I'm applying a userstyle to ensure that the latest activity date is always visible on this tablet (a Nexus 7). Without it you might not see some of the coloured dates on a narrow display.

Update 07-11-15

Sometimes the question list shows there is a new answer or comment but when I view the question nothing is highlighted. Usually that's because the new entry is not on the first page so I immediately want to see later pages. I wrote a userstyle that moves the paginator to the top to make that easier to on my tablet. (No, not that tablet, still the Nexus 7.)

@-moz-document url-prefix(https://together.jolla.com/question/)

/* Move paginator to top */

It's a bit crude. You may need to edit the positions for other devices. A userscript to duplicate the paginator at top and bottom would be better.

Hi everyone

I subscribed to the Jolla tablet. I used to own a Nokia N810, which I liked a lot, so I'm familiar with Maemo askbot unseen posts is an addon for Firefox - and developed a few small applications on it. I hope to do the same on the Jolla, so I joined this board to find out what it was I would be getting.

Anyway, to help me now Chrome - that helps you follow topics of interest here I wrote a couple of userscripts. They simply colour the dates of posts depending on whether I've previously read the question and whether there are any updates since. I mainly run them in Firefox on Android under the USI (User Script Injector) addon, but also on Firefox on desktop under Greasemonkey. It's not perfect, but I find it useful.

In case anyone would like to try them, they are questions on TJC. Details here: https://gist.github.com/revad/8bb02d65a1ee35a59d66

With USI or Greasemonkey running click the RAW buttons to install them. I don't know whether the Jolla browser can run userscripts - can it?

My userscripts do not sync across devices, unfortunately; I have some ideas on how to do that, and I might get around to it one day.

See the latest update at a glance whether a question has new comments, and once I know it does to be able to find them easily.

So I enhanced the scripts to find new comments, and automatically expand all comments before colouring them. I had to convert them into a Firefox addon to be able to do some the bottom of this on Android. It's still not perfect: multi-page questions can fool it, and there are timing issues too.

It just occurred to me, reading a question about the ask/submit button, that I'm applying a userstyle to ensure that the latest activity date is always visible on this tablet (a Nexus 7). Without it you might not see some of the coloured dates on a narrow display.

@-moz-document url-prefix(https://together.jolla.com/questions/)
{
/* Always display latest update time */
div.userinfo { display : block ! important ; }
}

Update 07-11-15

Sometimes the question list shows there is a new answer or comment but when I view the question nothing is highlighted. Usually that's because the new entry is not on the first page so I immediately want to see later pages. I wrote a userstyle that moves the paginator to the top to make that easier on my tablet. (No, not that tablet, still the Nexus 7.)

@-moz-document url-prefix(https://together.jolla.com/question/)
{
/* 06-09-2015 */
/* Move paginator to top */
div.paginator { position : absolute ! important ;
top : -20px ! important ;
right : 0px ! important ; }
}

It's a bit crude. You may need to edit the positions for other devices. A userscript to duplicate the paginator at top and bottom would be better.

Update 02-04-1624-02-17

Version 1.1.2 includes a workaround to the year-old I have converted the Firefox addon into a webextension, which will become mandatory later this year (though probably not as soon as currently planned). It doesn't work on Android yet - some APIs are unavailable - so I've not released it.

As a by-product, the addon works in Chrome, after a few mods: Link to the Chrome extension.
Chrome extensions, unlike Firefox addons, do not work on Android.
I don't use Chrome and I won't notice if it stops working so let me know by posting a comment below, or there's a support email address on the Firefox addon page.

This doesn't matter much for TJC - it works fine with the defaults. The options can be set in about:config - filter on 'jolla'. They display OK on desktop so test them there first.

Update 11-08-17

I've released the WebExtension version of the addon. It's now version 2.0.0 and works with Firefox 52+ on desktop and Firefox 56+ on Android. (Preference setting in Android is only available in v56 and even that contains bugs.)

Provided you update from v1.1.6, released in February, your preferences will be automatically migrated. Otherwise they will revert to the defaults. (In which case if you're using it on another site, such as ask.fedora.org, ask.fedoraproject.org, you would need to re-enter its URL.)

I noticed recently that there have been changes to JTC since I wrote the original userscripts - I don't know when. Firstly, the way comments are expanded: an answer's comments are all expanded in one click rather than a few at a time. The comment-expansion code in the addon still works but, because it can fetch a a bigger block of comments, it can take longer. The effect is that big sets of comments - such as release announcements - are often not coloured. On most questions there is no effect. If you want to increase the chance of all comments being coloured, and of scrolling to the first new one, increase the 'delay 2' parameter - e.g. double it to 3000. But it then takes slightly longer to scroll down on all questions.

Secondly the userstyle I posted above which moves the paginator to the top now makes it disappear on my desktop, but is fine on my tablet. Changing 'top : -20px' to 'top : 110px' fixed it for me. YMMV.

Provided you update from v1.1.6, released in February, your preferences will be automatically migrated. Otherwise they will revert to the defaults. (In which case if you're using it on another site, such as ask.fedoraproject.org, you would need to re-enter its URL.)

I noticed recently that there have been changes to JTC since I wrote the original userscripts - I don't know when. Firstly, the way comments are expanded: an answer's comments are all expanded in one click rather than a few at a time. The comment-expansion code in the addon still works but, because it can fetch a a bigger block of comments, it can take longer. The effect is that big sets of comments - such as release announcements - are often not coloured. On most questions there is no effect. If you want to increase the chance of all comments being coloured, and of scrolling to the first new one, increase the 'delay 2' parameter - e.g. double it to 3000. But it then takes slightly longer to scroll down on all questions.

Secondly the userstyle I posted above which moves the paginator to the top now makes it disappear on my desktop, but is fine on my tablet. Changing 'top : -20px' to 'top : 110px' fixed it for me. YMMV.

Update 15-11-17

In case anyone wants them, I wrote these three simple Firefox for Android addons to replace legacy ones I use:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/android_scroll_top/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/android_scroll_bottom/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/android_new_tabs_in_foreground/

Update 9-7-2020

With the migration of TJC to Discourse this addon loses it's raison d'être. If you are using it for other askbot forums please let me know via the support email address, otherwise I shall delete it from AMO.
