    TidyUserCP

    Inspired by Wyzcrak's Search Results Legend and One Line Results scripts, I decided to dive into DOM/Javascript and take a whack at tidying up the User Control Panel. There are a few more things I'd like to clean up, but this version hits most of the major things:
    • Reduces Subscribed Threads table from three lines of text per thread to one line of text per thread.
    • Adds an icon representing the forum of each subscribed thread
    • Adds a link to the parent forum of each subscribed thread (by clicking the icon).
    • Adds Unsubscribe from thread/forum buttons at right of each subscribed thread/forum.
    • Deletes icon and replaces it with more a larger, more intuitive version.
    • Reduces Subscribed Forums table from three lines to two.
    • Adds mouse-over pop-up text to most buttons/links.



    Before:


    After:


    Once you have Firefox and GreaseMonkey installed, install/enable this script simply by clicking here: tidyusercp.user.js


    Comments, questions, suggestions (and bug reports ) welcome!

    Installed. Very cool work Whiskey. Interestingly the script only compresses the subscribed forums section if there is a thread subscribed as well. I also didn't know that you could subscribe to an entire forum until I saw your screen shot.

    Re: TidyUserCP

    This is so fun to see. Whiskey, I've not spent much time on this stuff since Evan was born (Nov), but we're starting to see more and more pre-11PM bedtimes, and I'm ready to spend some more time working on GM scripts for us.

    Is it true that the scripts run in sequence as you dictate in your 'Manage User Scripts' window?

    I've got this idea to map out certain pages to "id" elements of interest within the markup. The idea is that all other scripts use these "IDs" (which vbulletin doesn't provide) when referencing stuff on the page.

    This way, when Apo changes the site, we need only make corrections to the "TGDOM" (or whatever) reference userscript.

    Make sense?

    Re: TidyUserCP

    Hmm.. not sure I follow exactly... what do you mean by "map out certain pages to "id" elements"?

    The main problem I've come across is that not all objects have unique ID's. Only some of the major containers have id's, such as the "collapseobj_usercp_forums" and 'collapseobj_usercp_subthreads' tables.

    Are you suggesting we have a GM script (which runs before all others) that goes through and assigns ID's to objects? If so, it's a cool idea. Subsequent scripts could be much simpler if standardized 'street signs' are put up in each page.

    Re: TidyUserCP

    That's exactly what I'm suggesting. Elements could be given IDs (e.g. 'tg_topnavbar_MembersList', 'tg_Logout_link', etc -- these are horrible examples.. there's got to be a solid naming convention to cover the entire site.. but you get the idea) we use in other scripts.

    Again, though, this idea is key on scripts running sequentially, which I've yet to test/be told.

    Re: TidyUserCP

    Guys, haven't personally used Greasemonkey but am very involved in web application development, and "web 2.0". If your having problems selecting certain elements you should look into a javascript framework such as jQuery. It provides many ways to select elements by css, positioning, etc. Could probably save you some time, and get much more functionality - at the cost of a few extra kb download.
