FfVb (CPIggy Replacement) - Official Suggestions Thread

**DaFace** · 05-08-2008, 01:20 PM

I've been talking back and forth with the guy who is developing "FfVb," a Firefox extension to improve the ignore features of vBulletin and add a few new features. I mentioned to him that we had a number of users who really enjoyed Simplex's CPIggy, and that some of our users might be willing to help out with beta testing the software and giving suggestions on things that could be improved.

Anyway, he should be stopping by soon under the user "TyCam," so don't scare him off too quickly. For those of you who like some of the additional ignore features that CPIggy had, please use this thread to let him know what you think and give suggestions for improvements.

You can download the extension here:

http://www.tycamtech.com/extensions/firefox/ffvb/

I'll also mention that there's a donation form on the site if you like his work and would like to support it.

Hey, thanks for the welcome.

I was looking through some of the CPiggy code and can see why it broke, but can also see that it was quite the handy tool to have.

It's downfall was that it was ChiefsPlanet exclusive while I am trying to make mine work on 99% of the vbulletin sites out there.
I can't possibly get them all because vbulletin is so customizable that I can't account for everyone's bad coding skills

Anyhow, feel free to be honest with me. Let me know what you like, don't like... what you would like to see and so forth.

DaFace's latest suggestion was to have a keyword filter, so you can ignore threads by keyword. That has now been included in the latest update.
It's a great idea because I put "spears" into it and already feel better about browsing forums.

So then, hello to you all. I look forward to your suggestions.

How does the Highlight List highlight threads or posts? I haven't noticed any difference between those on the list and the rest.

You are quite right. That was left out of the rewrite because I wanted to allow users to pick their own colour, but never did get to that.
Ok, I re-added it so if you go to your addons and run the update, it'll grab the latest version that will in fact highlight the threads.

Agreed. Just added myself to ignore.

**DaFace** · 05-08-2008, 02:51 PM

I've already suggested adding certain prefixes to ignore. If you get to the point that you'd like to give that a try and would like an unmodified vB style to work with, I can probably give you access to the default.

Yeah, I will be adding that in next.
I think between the version here and the version on the vbulletin site, I can work it out.
If not, I'll definitely let you know.

Welcome, BTW.

Works beautifully, TyCam. Thanks.

Too bad you can't do one for IE.

Thank you very much

Yes, I really do wish M$ would just comply with standards, or at least make IE easier to work with.

The rumor is that IE8 will finally be standards compliant and have many new advancements but really, they said the same of IE7 and it wasn't, and it didn't.

That's okay. I waste too much time on this site at work anyway.

That explains the post count. I am guilty of the same thing, hence the desire to make the experience better

Is it possible to use wildcards for the keyword search you added? I noticed that it seems to match whole-words, which is probably good (i.e. chief doesn't filter chiefs). But it might be nice to be able to use wildcards. Maybe. I dunno.

I haven't tried it out using the typical "*" though, so let me know if it's already in there and I just need to do it!
