Greasemonkey (and other extensions) for Opera

[marcode]

love opera but forced to use the shat pile that is firefox cos u wanna use greasemonkey?

well this is for you.. found this today.

read this:
http://userjs.org/scripts/browser/en...a-gm-functions

how to:
stick this file in any dir eg c:/userjs
http://userjs.org/scripts/download/b...m-functions.js

then
in opera 8: Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> JavaScript Options. Add the location of your newly created script directory to My JavaScript files.

in opera 9: Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Sites -> Default Settings -> Scripting. Add the location of your newly created script directory to My JavaScript files.

then go grab any greasemonkey script you like, shove it in the userjs folder, check out the site its for and it should work.

heres the link for the newzbin script that puts direct download links on the listings as opposed to entering a seperate page for those who wanna try it out: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1425

for other interesting opera extensions check here: http://userjs.org/

for other greasemonkey scripts, check here: http://userscripts.org/

works a fucking charm... dunno how many of the scripts work.. but heres hoping opera will add official support for this kinda thing soon.

No, I hear you're getting used to it though. It's a step up from the tesco.net browser though. Well done.

I use FF and IE, mainly FF though. Opera doesn't stand up to the job I'm afraid, it's got some nice features but it's pretencious and those who use it usually are too. Of course that's just my opinion and what do I know?

I'm a happy IE user

I do use FF occasionaly, either to check a design or to load a page which has been made by a web monkey and hasn't been cross-browser tested.

my my, now it's only a web browser, let's keep our stature out of this

using opera 9 I put the two scripts in a folder and set it in my default sites. Problem is newzbin looks the same still. Any idea why?

[marcode]

set what in yer default sites... what u on about?

have u set "c:/userjs" as yer directory in tools/prefs/content/javascript options/my javascript files (opera 9 build 8238)

then whenever you search for something in newzbin, rather than it showing search results with somones name in the editor column, it has a direct link titled "[download]" so you dont have to enter the page first...

[whatnow]

yes, sorry mate, a blatent drive spelling mistake got in my way

apoligies for wasting your time, have some kamara.

marcode ok going to try opera can't get this to work made the c:/userjs file put the two scripts in
http://userjs.org/scripts/download/b...m-functions.js
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1425

but still not showing like it does in firefox any ideas?

[marcode]

whats the first link sposed to be?

[steve10574]

the one you posted in first post

"how to:

http://userjs.org/scripts/download/b...m-functions.js"

[marcode]

no its not.. http://userjs.org/scripts/download/b...m-functions.js
is not a link..

http://userjs.org/scripts/browser/en...a-gm-functions is a link.

anyway, its possible that it uses new features of latest greasemonkey implementations..

the gm-functions script on replicates gm functions, but i dont think its been updated in a while..

i cant be arsed trying the file myself.. what does it do? whats the editor field? and why would you need this if your using the SAB script?

can't view nme.com properly with opera so I aint using it..

Result: Failed validation, 66 errors
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...%2Fwww.nme.com

that would be why

opera follows standards to such a great extent, i think it's great. it exceeds the standards to the extent that most pages that are IE specific will actually look either exactly the same or very close to the same, wheras firefox doesnt even implement the basics correctly and has no hope of getting the IE specific stuff right

i might look into this greasemonkey thing, never even heard of it before now
