Magic Password Generator

Wackygoose — 2012-05-25T03:33:32

Hey!

I was without a computer for sometime, then I got a new one, installed
firefox, and started installing my favorite addons. I Couldnt find
Magic Password Generator on mozilla addons anymore, only on Arantius
website. Is there any reason for this?


Thanks

level 11 camps

The script is sending random attacks to the new level 11 camps. I was
lucky enough to my attacks before loosing troops. Needs an update
quick.

GM_util.hitch / window.setTimeout

Sumeruter — 2012-05-24T20:35:54

Calling window.setTimeout with a string of commands as first parameter
in Greasemonkey scripts causes an exception:
"Invalid arguments to GM_util.hitch()."

In a normal browser environment this works perfectly, and previous
Greasemonkey-versions did not have this bug either.

< at >run-at document-start in FF12 fires script twice on Facebook.com?

Matt Kruse — 2012-05-24T16:16:27

After updating FF from 3.6 to the current 12, user scripts run at
document-start (in certain situations) are firing twice - once at
document-start as intended, then again at document-end.

Sample script:
// ==UserScript==
// < at >name        FB Test
// < at >namespace   http://userscripts.org/users/86416
// < at >include     https://www.facebook.com/
// < at >run-at         document-start
// ==/UserScript==
alert(document.getElementsByTagName('BODY').length);

When viewing the home news feed, this alerts "0" (expected), but then
also alerts "1" after the document loads.
But when I log off and load the login page, it only alerts "0"!

Any idea if this is a Greasemonkey bug or a FF bug? Or a quick in
Facebook? I can't duplicate the same functionality on CNN.com, for
example.

Is Facebook doing something that causes GM to fire again?

I've not yet tested other browser versions, will do that as well.

Thanks!

What can't you do, thanks to Greasemonkey's security sandbox?

Anthony Lieuallen — 2012-05-22T18:15:44

I'm finally starting work in earnest on Greasemonkey 1.0.  The major change
is to move towards explicitly requesting access to the elevated privilege
APIs that Greasemonkey has historically exposed to user scripts and, more
importantly, _not_ imposing the convoluted security restrictions that make
them safe, if you don't request access to them.

So I'd like to start assembling a list of things that would work in
standard JavaScript in the page, but break in Greasemonkey.  I'd like to be
sure that the changes made going forward make these things possible again.
I know of a few of these things and can test for them.  But I've understood
the limitations for so long that I almost have a mental block for
automatically not using them.

So, if there's a thing that should work but breaks in Greasemonkey please
let me know.  This work is happening in
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1427

GM_xmlhttpRequest works on some sites not on others

BillTheTailor — 2012-05-17T21:19:46

Subject pretty much says it all. I've got a script I'd like to use to
filling out shipping information on the USPS website. The script I'm
testing with is pretty simple:

<code>
// ==UserScript==
// < at >name        Fill out shipping form based on Seamlyne order
// < at >namespace   http://www.seamlyne.com
// < at >description Fill out USPS shipping form
// < at >includehttp://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_parser.asp
// < at >includehttps://cns.usps.com/go/Secure/*
// < at >includehttp://serverAtWork/index.asp
// < at >version     1.0.006
// ==/UserScript==

function mainContent(){
console.log("world");
GM_xmlhttpRequest({
  method: "GET",
  url: "https://www.MyDomain.com/catalog/shippinglabel.asp?
idorder=1106",
  onload: function(response) {
    alert(response.responseText);
  }
});

}

console.log("hello");

mainContent();
</code>

The script operates the way I'd expect it to on serverAtWork (I get
the text of the order header), and NOT on the other two servers, USPS
and w3schools. On the other two servers, GM_xmlhttpRequest doesn't
appear to work at all.

What gives?

Auto update not working (Firefox, Mac)

mike cupcake — 2012-05-17T11:45:16

So I've uploaded a few basic scripts to userscripts.org and installed loads 
of useful ones from other people, but I can't get auto updates to work for 
any of them.

Currently running Firefox 12.0, GM 0.9.19 on Mac 10.6.8

My checklist:
 - script installed from userscripts.org Install button, install URL is 
secure (https)
 - Greasemonkey preferences has all 3 boxes ticked for Update Checking 
(minimum interval set to 1 day if that makes any difference)
 - the script has autoupdate ticked on Firefox's rightclick menu

No updates take place, even after a forced check.

Discovered I could query GM_info and put this in the script, it returned 
False:
alert(String(GM_info.scriptWillUpdate));

Tried adding a < at >version metatag, then also unticking Require Secure 
Updates.  scriptWillUpdate still returns False.

This is the script I'm testing with: 
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/125470

I'm missing something obvious, right?  Any help appreciated.

BBC weather site / greasemonkey problem

SA — 2012-05-14T09:22:10

I followed the advice here by LouCypher:

http://groups.google.com/group/greasemonkey-users/browse_thread/thread/f897578a5013b065?pli=1

Which worked perfectly but now the bbc has changed it's website and
the script stopped working.  I logged and error saying that "div" was
invalid that I attributed to this line:

 var div = document.getElementById("Forecast_main");

The problem being that there was no longer an element called
"Forecast_main".  I dissected the webpage and found that it had been
changed to "forecast-data-table" so updated the script accordingly but
it still does not work (the script runs without error but the changes
are not made). I'm completely stuck could anyone offer a suggestion as
to why it isn't working?

// ==UserScript==
// < at >name           nobble
// < at >namespace      http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather
// < at >include        http://*.bbc.co.uk/weather/*
// ==/UserScript==

var div = document.getElementById("forecast-data-table");
div.addEventListener("DOMNodeInserted", function() {
  var textNodes = document.evaluate( "//text()", document, null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
  var searchRE = new RegExp('mb','g');// I know doesn't need regexp
for this
  var replace = 'MB';
  for (var i=0;i<textNodes.snapshotLength;i++) {
    var node = textNodes.snapshotItem(i);
    node.data = node.data.replace(searchRE, replace);
  }

}, false);


Could anyone tell me how to write messages to a console for debugging?

Greasemonkey access violation

Yansky — 2012-05-14T02:35:06

Hi, I'm getting the following error and I'm not sure why: Error: Greasemonkey 
access violation: unsafeWindow cannot call GM_getResourceText.

My script is here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/133203
source: http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/133203

I've temporarily commented out the line that's causing the error and 
replaced it with a hard-link to the image: 

//img.src = GM_getResourceText("downloadIcon");
img.src = 'http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/thegooddale/49569412.png';


Anyone have any ideas as to why I'm getting this error?

Complex data entry in a multi-page web form

Liam in Kansas City — 2012-05-12T02:50:40

The process works like this:

Using xmlHTTP, get the metadata (datasource URL and the target URL) << works
fine

Using xmlHTTP, "GET" data from the datasource URL << works fine, too

document.location = target URL << works fine

The next step would be to wait until the new location is done loading, then
use the data to fill in the form at the target URL. However, the script dies
at the point just after the document location is set to the target form. The
code of the script is below:

// ==UserScript==
// < at >name        Test 1
// < at >namespace   dt1
// < at >description Fill out client forms
// < at >include     https://initiating_page.com
// < at >includehttps://domain_4_the_client_forms/*
// < at >version     1
// ==/UserScript==

function mainContent(){

var vURL = "http://metadata_URL";
var myCtl = document.getElementById("divDebug");
var fieldCounter = 0;

myCtl.innerHTML = '<style type="text/css">* {font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;}</style>';
myCtl.innerHTML += '<div id="divDebug"></div>';
myCtl.innerHTML += '<p>version: 1.0</p>';
myCtl.innerHTML += '<p>Checking datasource: ' + vURL + '</p>';

GM_xmlhttpRequest({
method: "GET",
url: "http://datasource_url",
onload: function(response) {
parms = response.responseText.split('~~~');
datasource = parms[0];
target = parms[1];
success = parms[2];
failure = parms[3];
GM_xmlhttpRequest({
method: "GET",
url: datasource,
onload: function(response) {
document.location = target;
// << HERE IS WHERE WE BREAK DOWN >>
window.load = function(){
parms = response.responseText.split('~~~');
returnedData = parms[1];
var parser = new DOMParser();
var dom = parser.parseFromString(returnedData, "application/xml");
var fields = dom.getElementsByTagName('field');
var fieldname;
var data;
var datatype;
var formFieldId;
for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
    fieldname =
fields[i].getElementsByTagName('fieldname')[0].textContent;
    data = fields[i].getElementsByTagName('data')[0].textContent;
    formFieldId =
fields[i].getElementsByTagName('formfieldid')[0].textContent;
    datatype =
fields[i].getElementsByTagName('datatype')[0].textContent;
    alert([fieldname, data, formFieldId].join('\n'));
    fieldCounter++;
    if(fieldCounter == 1) return // just do the first one as a test
            }
      }
}
});
}
});
}

mainContent();

// --- end

I need the script to wait until the target location is loaded, then continue
and fill out fields in the form. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Send data:image with Ajax

Hi, I have a problem.

I try send some img from one page (data:image/jpeg;base64) to my php
script on serwer, script write this data to txt file. But wen I send
this data to my txt file I see strange code. I wrote that this header

},

should use? I try palin/text but this dont work on GM.

browser and see image, but now nothing happend, data are not correct.

Sensitive built functions GM

spirit — 2012-05-09T09:14:24

Hi, I have a question. In GM builtin function like GM_getValue,
GM_setValue etc. have use uppercase letters on begin (GM). Like we
know, in JavaScript good custom is to use a capital letter at the
start of the constructors function.

All code analysis tools (like JSLint) show error for GM code. Of
course, we can turn of this part of option in toys, but wen we use a
lot of constructors this option will very helpful.

So, why not make the possibility of using the built-in functions with
lower case letters, GM_setValue >> gm_setValue, or gmSetValue, sth
like this? Any other option, which does not indicate that the function
is a constructor will be good.

Web Launched Java application crash caused by Grease Monkey extension (scripts enabled/disabled)

Jimson — 2012-05-08T19:48:34

Hello,
I've been fighting an issue with an web application we use at our
business (large tech company), for over a year now.  This web
application launches a Java application, and immediately after the
application launches, it crashes.  I downgraded java to 1.6.0.15 and
noticed it worked again.  However, there are other web apps that now
won't work with 1.6.0.15, so I've dug it a bit deeper.  After much
troubleshooting, I've discovered the problem ONLY happens when the
GreaseMonkey extension is enabled.  If I disable it, the app works
just fine.  I've tried enabling it and disabling all scripts, to no
avail...still have issues.

My environment:
Toshiba M11 laptop
Linux Mint 12 inside a Virtualbox environment, where Win7 is the host.
Firefox 12.0 (but has happened on many previous versions)
GreaseMonkey 0.9.18
Which script is being used is irrelevant, and it happens when all
scripts are disabled.
I cannot provide an URL because it is internal

I really love using GreaseMonkey, but may need to part with it if I
can't find a fix :(

Thanks,
Jim

script only runs when page is reloaded

neilw — 2012-05-06T19:24:23

<this question previously posted to StackOverflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10456392/greasemonkey-script-only-runs-when-page-is-reloaded>

I have a script to add some links to a changesets page in Rally<http://www.rallydev.com/>. 
 The script works fine, but *only* when I reload the page.  If I just 
navigate (via links, forward/back buttons, etc.) to a matched page, the 
script does not run, but it is listed in the Greasemonkey menu, with a 
checkmark next to it.

So it *seems* like the matching is working fine, but for whatever reason 
the page is not firing the DOMContentLoaded event when I navigate to the 
page.  I tried < at >run-at document-start just for kicks, and it made no 
difference.

I'm not sure how to either (a) figure out what's going on, or (b) fix this.

Here is the < at >include rule, which seems to be working fine:



And here is a URL that I'm testing with:



I wonder if the hash in the URL is causing a problem somehow, but I can't 
understand why it would work only on a reload.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Neil

GM - Bug when over 165 characters

Dzhim — 2012-05-02T23:52:00

If a script's filename and name added together equals more than 165
characters, the next time you start your browser the script is not
listed in config.xml anymore but remains in it's directory. Tested in
Firefox 12.0.

GreasaMonkey, Specific problem, Main site, input field, auto fill

apophissaw — 2012-04-27T09:32:46

Hello Everybody. So i would like to explain my problem, sorry for english.

You can see the main site: 
192.168.1.28/oszir-jarvany/faces/halalozas/pollen/PollenAdatok.xhtml.
I can edit everything on it. I made a script that can automatically click on
button: "Új" ( displayed on picture)

So GreaseMonkey works on Main Page.
Addational information: button "Új" script:
<spanid="pollen_table:buttons"><button id="pollen_table:j_idt242" 
name="pollen_table:j_idt242" class="ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default
ui-corner-all ui-button-text-only btn" 
onclick="PrimeFaces.ab({formId:'pollen_table',source:'pollen_table:j_idt242',process:'pollen_table:j_idt242',update:'pollen_form',oncomplete:function(xhr,
status, args){pollenUrlap.show();}});  return false;"  type="submit"><span 
class="ui-button-text">Új</span>

Now my Problem is that I'm not able to access anything on the Second Page
(pop up window) to fill them automatically with different integers. I try to
access it's id:
document.getElementById('tabview:pollen_fu_1').value="the value i want to
fill in";
But i can not. And when i hit F5(refresh) the Second popup page is gone.

I hope its clarified my question properly and thanks for review it :) If you
guys have any idea how can i access the Second (popup )page's input fields
please share with me. I have uploaded the website to you if its required :

The contents of GM_info

Anthony Lieuallen — 2012-04-23T16:37:59

There was a variety of discussion about what should/should not go into
GM_info [1].  There was a bug created specifically to track what should be
added above and beyond the base implementation [2].  There was no activity
so I closed it.  If you have ideas, reply here or in that bug and I'll
reopen it.

Access to embedded Silverlight

jkathome — 2012-04-23T15:23:26

Hi,

I would like to tweak the behaviour of a page which embeds a Silverlight
object. Specifically this is a page that provides streamed TV coverage. I
would like to ensure that I am automatically logged in (which I think is
straightforward) then that the Silverlight switches full-screen mode. I am
pretty clueless about what the latter would entail. Is there any possibility
of making this work?

Intercept XHR

Franc Hammer — 2012-04-22T00:22:09

Dear all,

I amstuck with a trivial problem. I need to intercept XHR calls. There
are a number of code snippets that illustrate how this can be done
with GM. One example is the following:

(function(open) {

    XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open = function(method, url, async, user,
pass) {

        this.addEventListener("readystatechange", function() {
            console.log(this.readyState);
        }, false);

        open.call(this, method, url, async, user, pass);
    };

})(XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open);

Now, the problem is that when I use and execute this snippet, I get an
error: "Error: xmlhttprequest is undefined". I tried window and
unsafeWindow, bu to no avail.

I must be doing something completely wrong or misunderstand a central
concept.

Any ideas?

I am using FF 11 and GM 0.9.18.

Thanks
