AO3 Kudos tools

[poulpette]

Hello everyone,

After theaeblackthorn posted their greasemonkey script last week, I was inspired to make my own, the AO3 kudos tools.

The script does three things:
- change the background of the kudos ♥ button to a white on green gradient if you have already given kudos to the work,
- highlight your username in the kudos list (white on green background, rounded shape),
- highlight other usernames in the kudos list (white on blue background), if you have listed their username in the script.

ETA: You will have to edit in your username in the script to make it work for you.

I mostly use the last feature to have a quick gauge of whether people I know have similar tastes in fanfic to me have read/liked the work.

If anyone decides to try this, I'd be glad to know if the contrast is correct accessibility-wise.

EDIT 2013.07.03: I've updated the script, anyone having trouble with the script should update to the latest version. Don't hesitate to PM me if something breaks down :)

We will not speak of how long it took me to realize I had to edit to fill my own name in for the script. >.>

It's looking good now! \o/

Ah, lovely! I couldn't get it to work on my laptop for some reason, but it works like a dream on the desktop - I must have had a setting wrong. Thanks so much!

I really love this tool, but a few weeks ago, it stopped working for me. Does anyone know why? I'm using it via Tampermonkey on my Chrome browser.

Any help would be great. I'd love to get it working again.

Script Broken?

[msraven]

Not sure what happened, but the kudos tool is broken for Chrome again. :(

I know it was working yesterday (9/4) and this morning, it's not (9/5).

Any thoughts on how to fix it?

I hate to bother you with commenting on an ancient post, but if you are still maintaining this script you probably want to know that Firefox Quantum (57+) has totally broken it. It was working great before the update, and I was completely willing to blame the bare bones Greasemonkey 4 update for the problem, but it doesn't work with Tampermonkey either.

Tampermonkey does indicate there is an error in the script so here's a screenshot:



The red X says "Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression" in the hovertext.

I enjoyed the script for years and miss it, but I totally get it if you have moved onto other things. :)
