CPIggy Feature requests

Simplex3 · 11:44 AM

Just a gentle reminder, I'm more than happy to have some help on this. Some of these bugs should be pretty simple to solve. Don't be afraid of the source code, it's well commented. If you fix one of these please let me know and post a unified diff or patch file in this thread. If you don't know how to do that just post your complete script here and I can do it for you.

Thanks!

Current outstanding issues:

Ticket	Type	Status	Reporter	Description
1	Bug	New	Simplex3	Quotes are handled by looking for a blockquote tag within a post body. This needs to be tested better since other board elements may use blockquotes. Currently no testing is done to see if the blockquote in question "qualifies" as a quote.
2	Bug	New	listopencil	Cannot close alert dialog boxes.
3	Bug	New	listopencil	DC isn't removed until the config dialog is opened and the option to ignore DC is re-saved.
4	Bug	New	Simplex3	Need to re-address what pages are included/excluded from the script. Currently the removal of the DC option in the drop-down menu is only partially complete because we don't operate on all pages. When we do operate on all pages then pages without the menu throw an error dialog because they can't add the menu item.
5	Feature	New	Saulbadguy	Address "At Work" mode.
6	Feature	New	Saulbadguy	Find a more efficient way to re-introduce case insensitivity for user names in the ignore list.
7	Bug	Fixed	Simplex3	~~Empty list cause CPIggy to fail.~~

Kinds of things we can do:

Add things to the page. Remove things from the page. Show/Hide things. Float things on top of the page. Pretty much any modification you wish they would have made on the server we can do as long as it doesn't require storing extra data that other people will need to see.

Block keywords in the topic title?

Er, Block topics with the keyword in them.

So enter a keyword list just like the user name list, check for matches against:

1. Thread titles on forum index pages
2. Post bodies when viewing a thread

and block accordingly?

To do a "look ahead" and check an entire thread for a keyword would be a pretty expensive operation, but it's doable.

More so the thread title, not the body of the thread.

If someone starts a thread about a user, or a topic you find objectionable, you would see a clickable link that said "topic blocked by CPiggy"

Cool.

Right now, usernames are case sensitive.

Could that be changed so they are not?

Yeah, that's a fairly simple fix.

If there's some enterprising javascript developer out there looking to dip their toes I'd like to offer up two relatively simple tasks:

1. Where possible, change "getElementByTagName()" calls to XML Node calls such as "getChilden()".

2. In functions when the same node is accessed more than once store it's value into a variable and replace those calls with the variable.

BUG:

Right now the script uses spaces to separate names which won't work since spaces are legal characters in user names.

Simplex3 · 10-09-2007, 07:15 PM

NEEDS TESTING:

It appears that if a thread in the DC forum index has an icon associated in the left side the user name isn't matching.

I'm not using your script even though I've been tempted to but, on this idea, how about scanning just the OP? Some people like to use obscure thread titles.

Excellent idea. Thanks.

How about allowing the Replacement text [img ]http://www.mediathinklab.com/images/alba.jpg[/img] to actually pop up the image instead of the text.

Thats all I want man. Then its complete.

How about a key combination such as SHIFT+CTRL+BREAK that will spawn a methed up garden gnome that stabs the people on your iggy list in the face and feeds their pets antifreeze.
