ao3some | userscripts: download buttons, saved filters, tumblr savior

I am SUPER EXCITED about the saved filter script but I can't figure out how to ...make it go?

(I'm in Chrome and I've done scrips via userscripts.org before, both the old way and the new 'drop them into the extensions' way.)

So I've dl'd Tampermonkey and dl'd your script from github, dragged and dropped it into 'add new script' and 'ao3 saved filters' is definitely in there, update URL and all.

I went to the bandom/works page and a few others but didn't see the 'saved filters' feature. I searched within works, thinking that might trigger the appearance of the script but I still can't see the boxes /o\

I just restarted chrome and checked the ao3 again but still can't find it. Is there a Really Obvious Step I am missing?

Possibly I need some step-by-step instructions. Help?

No, you had it right, I'd just assumed like a dummy that Tampermonkey would be as obliging as GM. But, it is not, and it needs an extra line. You can get the updated version at the same URL.

The 'Global' one totally shows up now! \\\o///

And sometimes I can get it to work! Which means I have EVEN MORE QUESTIONS.

To activate it, you type in something, like... -humor, save it, and then click 'sort and filter'?

And this isn't like tumblr savior in how it just runs all the time, I have to do a 'sort and filter' to activate it?(The charming blue highlighted 'Your filter was: [-humor].' does not always appear. I am trying to figure out whyyyy.)

Should I also have a 'Fandom:' box? I have only the 'Global:' box.

Oooh, and what happens if I fiddle with 'User matches'/'User includes'/'User excludes' in the settings at Tampermonkey?

you must do a sort to apply the filters, yes. If you don't see the global filter after sorting, that's a bug.

fandom filters are only active if a fandom "owns" the tag you're currently searching in. Like, Harry potter fandom owns hermione but not "books". That's the design anyway, bugs may be interfering.

excludes disable the script on matched pages and includes enable it. hopefully it doesn't do anything if it ends up running where it's not supposed to.

I might be able to make it more like tumblr savior, we'll see.

Thank you for all these clarifications, they are MOST useful. <33333

(oh man making it more tumblr savior-esque would be a TALL ORDER.)

OK, it now auto-submits the form with your saved filters, if you have any and if they haven't yet been applied. Try it out and see if that's better or just annoying.

I...actually can't get tumblr savior working for me as a userscript, so I'm not exaaactly sure what the UX is. But just from reading the code, it looks like it simply hides blacklisted posts. I considered this approach on ao3, but it would result in empty or sparse index pages (does tumblr savior produce this if you don't use infinite scrolling on your dash?) if you're filtering out stuff that's very prevalent. So I think it's better to just submit the form and apply the filter for realz.

I've just DL'd the new ao3-saved-filters and it is doing it's pre-loading thing! I like it lots.

I don't think tumblr savior *is* being developed as a userscript anymore? I have it as a chrome extension (along with missing-e because together they are the PB and J of my tumblr bread if that metaphor makes any sense)

But it looks like in the four days since I last checked up on this thread (>.>) you have played around with savior-esque-ing up your code. Cool!

I've tried out the ao3-savior script (chrome and tampermonkey again) and I have the problem I had back with the original script - there isn't a 'saved filters' menu.

Sorry, should have clarified - the savior script is a clone of the tumblr version right down to the in-code config ;) Edit the arrays inside the "CONFIG" box.

You should see the saved filters menu if you still have the saved filters script enabled, but the inputs there don't affect the savior script.

I can add a gui config if anyone really wants it.

my new year resolution was to start DLing ebooks so fics could never be lost to me again and your dl script is being VERY HELPFUL in getting all my already-read favs onto my hard-drive. So TY for this one too now! *g*

Years after you posted this but... I restarted FF after installing greasemonkey and installed the script. Went to a *works* page and no joy. I tried toggling it on and off multiple times, re installing it, restarting firefox, then restarting my computer. All no no avail. Any advice? Trying to use the -tag one. I just never want to see an A/B/O or MPreg again....

If you're still having problems, tell me which script and the exact steps you followed to install+customize it please

Get rid of the old ones first ;)

Steps taken:

Install greasemonkey (I uninstalled it after it the script didn't appear to work the first time and all the associated scripts)

restart FF

Instal AO3 Save Filters

Disable PeerBlock/Guardian thingey (just in case)

Go to http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Derek%20Hale*s*Stiles%20Stilinski/works

I don't see the dialogue box that appears in the screen shot, do I need to edit the script first for it to appear?

No you don't need to edit the saved filters script. I also can't think of any reason why PeerBlock should affect it. (but if you find that it does, I'm interested!)

Is the script enabled? See the checkbox:

Apparently there are 3 Derek/Stiles fics not tagged with Teen Wolf, out of 29620

edit: hang on, you did say you tried toggling it on and off. Sorry! I can't think why it's not showing up for you now then :( My steps to see your case were:
1. Visit greasyfork
2. Install saved filters script via "Install" button
3. Visit the ao3 link you gave
4. See the filter box

...nothing special :(

I can only think of oddball things for you to try at this point
- look in the console for any js errors
- disable all other addons and scripts
- try a fresh install of Fx
- see if other of my scripts are also AWOL for you
- make sure you're not using NoScript or anything else that would disable js

Those are all kinda stupid suggestions. If I think of anything better I'll come back.

I can at least say that you shouldn't need to restart Fx or toggle GreaseMonkey in order to get userscripts to work, just refreshing the page should be good enough.

*shrug* Don't know why it is happening but I did do a reset of FF and it still does not work. I'm not willing to do a complete fresh instal so who knows. Also, the other AO3 download button script never worked. Anyways, thanks for trying.

Just FYI, the download button shows up on Collections, but doesn't seem to function properly. I tested it with TW_FallHarvest.

Thanks! That one is now fixed for most cases now, I think.

I'm not sure if it's possible to handle the remaining cases (where a work's dl uri doesn't match its title), but I'll keep looking.

Awesome. :-) And thank you for the great scripts, which I should've said before, but I'm apparently a mannerless oaf today.

no way you're a perfectly good labourer in my bug farm

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you; these are handy!

I just found a possible issue - the downloads one needs a tweak to the includes to cover series pages as well, and possibly an adjustment of the classes it applies to.

Thanks, I think that's fixed now, at least I got it working on pages like http://archiveofourown.org/series/*

Hi,

These scripts look wonderful, only I'm not sure how to install them?

EDIT: Never mind. Figured out how to make a new user script in Greasemonkey. I hadn't realized you can add the code directly into it.

Edited 2012-12-08 02:41 (UTC)

Okay the scripts are installed correctly (I assume) only when I go to A03 I cannot see any download buttons? Am I supposed to edit the script in some way for the buttons to display? I've gone to various pages on A03 and so far only the default download button shows up.

EDIT: P.S. I'm using the default A03 skin and I'm logged into my A03 account. I'm not sure if the skin used makes a difference?

Edited 2012-12-08 21:49 (UTC)

Hi, the download buttons script doesn't require any editing (only the Tumblr savior-like one does). It doesn't matter what skin you're using or whether or not you're logged in either.

To check that the script is installed properly and enabled, go to a page like http://archiveofourown.org/*works* where the * can be anything (anything that produces a non-404 page). Then in your Firefox toolbar menu go Tools -> Greasemonkey. The submenu that opens should have "ao3 download buttons" listed below the divider, with a little bullet or checkmark or whatever to show that the script is enabled. (Clicking the bullet/checkmark will toggle the script on or off, although the effects of toggling it won't show up until after a page refresh).

If you don't see it in that submenu it is either not installed or not being applied on the correct pages. You can try installing it again from the code, or I've put it up on userscripts here where you can use the "Install" button.

If you do see it but the bullet's not there then it's just not enabled, so all you have to do is turn it on and F5.

I went to Tools -> Greasemonkey and the options were listed and checked but for some reason not working. I ended up going to the link at userscripts and the install button worked perfectly. :)

Thank you so much for sharing the location with the install button. I'm not sure how I messed up on installing the script myself but it all works now.

Thanks so much for sharing these! The download button on all pages is just what I needed! Also you introduced me to Tampermoney yay!

ooh this is awesome and working great thus far!

The download buttonssssssssssss! I don't know you but I ♥ you!

I dunno if you're still supporting this script, but I notice it's gone a bit hincky since the latest AO3 code push: the "share" box at the top of a fic is expanded by default when I have this script enabled. Has anyone else noticed this effect, or is it possible it's something I've done to myself by fiddling with various other scripts?

All my scripts are updated with the fix so you just have to reinstall them from the links in this post

I was wondering if you knew if ao3 would be updated? I love the script, but it appears to not work with Chrome anymore.

which script?

Hi there; I recently installed this userscript because I wanted to have a way to exclude some pairings and freeform tags, but I'm not sure I know how to use it. So I start from the works page, search something - I see several filters are used in the example screenshot at the same time, both without any commas or other punctuation; two-word keywords in quotes. Clear so far. I click on the works button and clear the filters, ok.

Is there a way to go back and add a filter? Because it doesn't seem to be possible. Say I added several filters, and they didn't work out, giving me 0 results. If I hit a back button, the page just reloads and brings me back to my zero results. I have to clear the filters and start over. Yes?

With ao3 savior, can I e.g. blacklist relationships, not just tags and authors? And how exactly do I edit it, just add my keywords in the square brackets in the CONFIG section? It does not seem to be working for me. Or maybe it is, but I don't know what it's supposed to look, so I can't recognize it.

(Sorry if I'm rambling and if I've missed something obvious; I find it easier to figure something out if I go through it out loud as if I'm asking someone questions.)

The filter just builds a search for you, and like any search if it doesn't return what you want, you should adjust it - whether that means clearing it altogether and starting over, or adding/removing some terms. So, I'm not sure how to answer your question re: the saved filters script. You "have to" start over only if your search contains 0 of the terms you want. Otherwise, keep the terms you want and remove the others. Does that make sense against what you saw, or am I missing something?

Yes you can blacklist relationships - put them in the tags array. For example, I'm browsing works in the Pacific Rim fandom and I don't want to see any Mako/Raleigh fics. I added 'Raleigh Becket/Mako Mori' to the tags array (use the exact ao3 canonical tag) so that the whole line looks like:

tags: ['dobby', 'jar jar binks', 'Raleigh Becket/Mako Mori'],

then I save the script, refresh the page, and see "This work is hidden" 3 blurbs down. Unhiding it reveals a Mako/Raleigh fic.

Hii, sorry to be a bother (because almost certainly I'm missing something), but I was trying the saved filters script, and for some reason it works perfectly well on FF with GreaseM, but doesn't in Chrome with Tampermonkey. The 'Saved Filters' section of the filters just doesn't appear at all.

I'm not sure if I should be doing anything else?

Also, because I'm not sure what's relevant info: I went to your link and installed it, and it appears with the green doot in TM, so apparently it's enabled?

Yes.

I think a recent TM update broke it, or at least broke a quirk it relied on. I made a small change to comply; try reinstalling now.

Thanks, you're awesome!

It will be really a big help for those people who want to exclude using the tagging structure, since we can do that using the tag's ID now, but searching for the ID number every time or remembering it by heart would be such a huge pain.

Love the DL buttons, but is there any way to add them to a user's list of bookmarks? For example, ao3.org/users/*username*/bookmarks?

added, grab the new copy here http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/153119

It seems to work with minimal changes, but I didn't exactly test it very hard. You can :P

Seems to work fine! Thank you so much!
