Forum Buddy – Browser Extension: Notifications for when you are quoted in a post!

[SkinnyKappa]

it does listen for submit for instant quotes, I was unaware the search was broken - ill look into it this weekend

idk didn't look too deeply just assumed you're scraping the search results which doesnt work

not sure if it matters but i'm using the black background as well. i remember in the past it was some issue with just black background users. is this down for everyone regardless of background?

keep up the good work man we appreciate this tool you got going on

white background doesn't work either

[nilekyle]

can someone that has forum buddy not working do this:




you are going to get a lot of GET errors for some .gif's and png's but that's ok (and expected), I am more concerned what it says after the XHR requrest:



^ this is what a working forum buddy background src looks like, can somebody post one of theirs that is not working - that would be helpful to debug for me

Spoiler!

didn't you say that you're keeping track of threads you posted in?

I think people here are either refreshing their forumbuddy or posting from mobile and expecting to see quotes on desktop.

ah yes, I just looked into it and played with the query as much as I could - the global search is in fact broken :\ I am curious if it's broken or they set the delay for a month - we will see on jun 7 I guess. I think people are refreshing their forum buddy too often because they don't understand how it works.

Trying to think of a solution here, I can either add a "watch thread" button or make it so when the user refreshes forum buddy it doesnt refresh all the tracked threads... trying to think of the best solution here but the global search will be indeed broken until bodybuilding.com's forum administrators fix it.

You can always scrape https://forum.bodybuilding.com/searc...ID&showposts=1 to get the threads to track (indirectly, can't do showposts=0). USERID is in this site's local storage when you're logged in but also in the body space link

Once you have a searchid you can add the pp argument. So what I'd do if you want more than 20 results is $.get that URL and then use the returned URL (with the searchid) and $.get that with pp=Something

the link you posted doesnt work but I know what you mean and I'm pretty sure if the search by post is broken search by thread would be broken too, i.e. the last post it finds for me is may 7 so the last thread it finds for me will probably be may 7th too.. haven't tested it out though

If it involves do=process it doesn't work threads or posts. do=finduser does work. Here's what I meant with your USERID for example: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/searc...71&showposts=1

Gives your posts

[SkinnyKappa]

basic steps I was thinking of (my account as an example):

1. visit https://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/SkinnyKappa, from the element with class name 'bbBinder hide' get 'vbUserId' from data-target (or find some other way to get the user ID, i.e. using search or something). In my case the ID is 213038593.

2. $.get('https://forum.bodybuilding.com/search.php?do=finduser&userid=213038593&showposts= 1'), this will redirect to some URL with search ID (for instance https://forum.bodybuilding.com/searc...hid=2592696141, if you can't find it in the returned header it's in the page's form [#yui-gen9]).

3. I'd add the &pp argument to get more than 20 posts (you can't add it to ?do=finduser, only ?searchid). Maximum seems to be 200 => https://forum.bodybuilding.com/searc...2696141&pp=200

4. get the unique threads, do whatever scraping on the threads to find people that quoted you.

It sounds horribly inefficient but I guess you're already doing it.

thank you! that picture is very helpful

[weightsb4dates]

attempted to get you this info and my extensions page looks different. idk how to get to it, but my version is 1.5.1 just for reference

[nilekyle]

I submitted a new version to the chrome store, ill let you guys know when it's live (version 1.6)

I had to change the way forum buddy works, it will monitor all the threads you recently posted in for mentions but it will be unable to do a global search until the bodybuilding forum fixes their (now over a month long cached) search functionality.

could take anywhere from 1 hour - 2 days to become live but ill let ya brahs know

how do you have the willpower to work on this
I wake up and just rot in bed all day, lots of projects I wanna work on but no willpower lolz

nah brah I can relate.

I don't work on side projects often anymore now that I have a career/full time job as a software engineer. I get my love/fix for coding in while I am at work so outside of work I don't tend to code much and focus on other parts of my life (friends, lifting, cooking, traveling, ect, I even just bought a motorcycle lulz).

I wrote v1 of forum buddy so long ago - the code isn't good (it was the first js project I wrote) making v1 near unmaintainable which is why I am slowly working on a v2.

not much progress has been done on it but when I do get around to it it's going to be epic

Can't wait for V2, love this extension; you really should make it premium or something, well worth a few dollars for this.

Bert Doner Crew for life.

My forum buddy is now updated to 1.6.0.

Is this the latest version?

Mine is now using 1.6.0 as well. I noticed after I just barely restarted my computer (for a different reason) and then I got the desktop notification for quoted posts from today. Chrome must have updated my extensions after I restarted.

I only got notifications for quoted posts from today though, but good to see it working again!

Yeah I also got notifications only from today, not any previous ones.
