I've recently found myself hacking together a few tools to make life on UER a bit nicer. These have generally taken the form of javascripts (chrome extensions and/or greasemonkey scripts). It seems like it might be useful to post these in one place. Since I'm currently working on a local-storage version of the old advanced read-states and I'll soon have to put together another anti-christmas script, now seems as good a time as any.

If anyone else has any tools they've written for UER, feel free to post them if you want.

Read State Restorer

It should be possible to implement the old read-state system using javascript and the new web storage spec. I'll update this post as I work on it.

Current State: Nearly working for the New Posts page. Doing the forums is going to be trickier.

HG repo: https://sse.se.rit...7/uer_read_states/

Humbug

A de-christmasifying extension. I really only care about the really obnoxious ones (the following santa, mainly), but I'll try to tackle all of it, just as an exercise. It looks like the few changes so far are just replacing various image sources, swapping "/forum/whatever.gif" for "/forum-xmas/whatever.gif".

Kills all christmas stuff as of 12/7/10.

I'll package it to a chrome extension shortly. Update: http://kevinkuchta...mbug1_0/humbug.crx

Sounds like a sweet project.

Keep on keeping on man. Lemme know if you need any help? I haven't used JS in a couple years, but there's definitely some fun things that can be done.

Humbug 1.0 (chrome plugin) released:

has anyone ever thought to just use one of the other UER skins,

the infiltration.org skin never gets Christmasfied, the others only get a diet Christmasification

Heh- can't believe I didn't think of that. However, I'm already invested in moding the current theme, so I'm going to keep going anyway for fun.

Working on porting this to Greasemonkey for Firefox.

Greasemonkey port of makman's Humbug extension:

Initial version @ http://pastebin.ca/2015856

Copy/paste the contents into a text file

Save the file as UER_Humbug.user.js <- make sure your text editor isn't adding .txt to the end

Download & install Greasemonkey plugin for Firefox if you don't have it already

Drag & drop the .js file you saved into Firefox & accept the installation


Currently, you'll get a flash of the christmas spirit on page load, but once Greasemonkey kicks in it disappears.

Awesome sauce.

Edit: Just got around to trying it at home. Slick shit. Nice work guys.

Great Job!

Beat me to it; Same thing, but jqueryish:

$("#rAin1").hide(); $("#rAin2").hide(); $("#rAin3").hide(); $("#rAin4").hide(); $("#rAin5").hid e(); $("#rAin6").hide(); $("#rAin7").hide(); $("#rAin8").hide(); $("#rAin9").hide(); $("object#m usic1").hide();

Also, updated version of the chrome plugin:

Wasn't that from last year?

You guys are my hero's!

Posted by trent Wasn't that from last year?

Yep. I was doing a greasemonkey script to remove the reindeer only. A bit more ambitious now.

A heads-up to anyone running my script- AV's got a nice little script in place that detects the presence of the santa image. If it fails (eg, if my extension is in place), it'll redirect to lemonparty.com (very nsfw). Should be fixed pretty soon.

He'll just keep updating his code to break ours. Hope you're in for a fight. You might want to move updates to by-PM-request-only to keep prying eyes away.

Hey, I'm up for a battle . My js-foo is pretty weak- I could use the practice. The last version of the chrome script included an update url, so I should be able to push updates to anyone using it.

Also, his scripts can be killed with:

$("body").append( $('<script language="javascript">checkHack=function(){}</script>') );

I'll update as soon as I can.

Edit: All fixed. Newest versions in the hg repo- I'll package it and post it as an update shortly.
