New Super Browse (and Super Stats) launched! (BETA)

[Conway]

You asked for it, you got it. I have an updated script that has the following features:

1. Updates the BROWSE section to include the artist's level and the time the song was posted. You no longer need to hit the 'Super Browse' button. This update is done automatically!!!

2. I implemented a Super Stats feature. The script will now keep track of the points that spend on bumps and displays your cost and the net difference when you visit your STATS page. A couple of things to keep in mind:

a) The data is stored on your computer in Firefox's prefs.js file. If you use multiple computers while using T61, the stats will not be in sync.

b) I had to put a limit on the amount of data that will be stored. If you hit this level, I will need to delete all your stats and you'll need to start over. The limit is pretty big.

c) It will only keep track of the spent points after you install the script. Therefore, you won't see anything new on your STATS page until you bump something.


I've only tested this script using the latest version of FF on Windows XP and using the latest version of GreaseMonkey.

Additionally, I'm not posting this script to userscripts.org yet. I want people to test it out for me and give me some feedback.

Here is the script:
http://theconniffs.com/t61_super_browse.user.js


If you want to test the script out, please do, but come back here to leave your feedback. And then go give me a RB!

Oh yeah, I put two variables in the script:

var turn_off_browse_feature = false;
var turn_off_stats_feature = false;

If you want to turn off either feature (and you know what you're doing), change either of these to 'true' and it will turn them off. I put this in there in case someone just wanted the STATS feature but not the BROWSE or visa-versa.

Please report bugs/comments here.

I was going to make a comment about when I can expect your kingdom!

There's one minor problem with the cost feature. It's using the incorrect cost displayed before I go to bump a song, not the actual cost that I was charged. I figured this would be the case, and it's still better than no info at all.

Example: I bumped Landlocked By Elsinore. The hovering cost before bumping showed 56, when I bumped it actually cost 40, the stats page shows 56. I know this is really just a bug with t61, but was curious if anyone has any suggestions. I've heard refreshing the page helps, but that also has disadvantages like stopping the radio.

anyway, it's still awesome. Thanks again.

more info: using firefox

I'm looking at another song. when I see the bump cost from the Browse page it shows 60. if I right click on the song and open it in another page (which I typically do when bumping multiple songs for the 1st time), then the cost shows as 71. I refreshed the page several times and it remained at 71.

The bump cost is stored for a song when the page is loaded from the server. When you actually click on the bump button, it goes back to the server to get the real cost of the bump. This is not exposed on the client end and I'm not sure I can get the 'real' cost. In most cases, the cost I display will be accurate.

Another option would be for me to look at your point total before the bump and then subtract from the new bump total after the bump. I need to think about this though. There may be flaws with that approach.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize this.

So after using this for a little bit now, I have a couple of things to say.

It seems to work pretty great in general, I don't have any bug reports for you yet. However, the one thing I have noticed is that it doesn't work when you link directly to a browse page. That is, clicking below won't activate the script, you need to change pages first:

http://www.thesixtyone.com/browse/all/all/today/0/5/1/

Also, manually refreshing the page has the same issue.

I dunno if these can be helped, but it's no big deal anyway. Just thought I'd let you know

I learned this morning that a browser crash (FF 3.0.1) caused all the cost/profit stats to disappear. songs I've bumped since then do appear.

Is there a FF setting that I can change to save those stats so a future crash won't delete them?

The script broke today due to some changes at T61. I've updated the script to work again. Just re-installed by clicking this link:

http://theconniffs.com/t61_super_browse.user.js

I also added the Artist level and time posted to the STATS page.

Enjoy!

Show the love. RB me.

So if I were to delete all private data, what box do I uncheck to save the T61 data?

Also: where do I download greasemonkey?

@88 - I delete FF data everytime I shut down and my stats are still saved.

thing to understand is that a browser crash won't save those stats
