• PAX Hack
  by Dave Pearson

  RedBubble’s newly-announced PAX...

  RedBubble’s newly-announced PAX is pretty cool. Well, no, that’s not true, it’s very cool. But it’s got a problem. The problem is that, with over 16,000 works in the mosaic, you’ve got a hell of a time seeing if any of your works are in there. Now, sure, you could sit down and just wander around it, keeping an eye out for your own stuff and being amazed at some of the works that are in there, but that could take forever. Besides, you can never be sure that you’ve found all of them (or be sure that you’ve confirmed that you’ve got none in there). And then I noticed that the full list of all the works in the mosaic was available “under the hood” (anyone with a reasonable knowledge of web development should be able to find that file). The file itself is just some Javascript code. So, I got to thinking, here’s a file that contains a list of image IDs of every work in the mosaic. I’ve got a list of all my works on RedBubble thanks to a tool I wrote a while back. If I just extract the two ID lists, take the intersection of those two lists, I’ll have a list of all of my works in PAX. So, a quick bit of ruby hacking later and I had findPAXworks up and running. And a few seconds later I had a full list of all of my works that appear in there. Well, I say “all”, there’s only the two, and it’s the two that I expected: / Chaos / Quite a Contrast Now I can go and enjoy wandering around the mosaic without being preoccupied with looking for my own works. ;)

• Hack: "Friends of RedBubble" quick link for mybubble
  by Dave Pearson

  Inspired by this thread...

  Inspired by this thread I’ve knocked up a quick Greasemonkey hack that adds a Friends of RedBubble forum link the the quick links bar in mybubble. This, of course, is only useful to people who use Firefox, have Greasemonkey installed, and who are a member of the FoRB group. If that’s you and this sounds useful then pop over here to get a copy.

• Hack: Simple BubbleMail Preview
  by Dave Pearson

  Inspired by this thread (although it is a subject that has come up many times before) on the RedBubble forums I’ve created a Greasemonkey script to implement a very simple BubbleMail preview facility. It works by adding a preview button to your screen when you compose a new BubbleMail: When you press the button a preview of your BubbleMail will appear below the button: It’s not perfect. It has some issues. But it’s a start. See over here for more details about the script and to get a copy.

• Edit a work from the public view

  Last week PigleT and me were chatting about how annoying it is that you can’t edit a work on RedBubble from the public view of the work. Diving into your art or clothing list to find the work, or hacking on its URL, can be a real pain. I then got to thinking that a Greasemonkey script could be the way to go, although this would have the downside that it would only work with Firefox (not that I see that as a downside). PigleT then had the cracking idea of using a bookmarklet. Smart idea because it would work with most browsers. And then we did the usual thing and let the good idea stay just like that: a good idea. And then I saw this thread and that got us going again. I tried one way (and failed) and PigleT tried another and it worked, but only for art. I then hacked it a little and made it work with art, clothing, journals and writing. The end result can be found over here. And it works. And works well. And solves a really annoying problem. There’s a couple of issues, not least of which is the fact that any number of strange things could happen if you used the bookmarklet while viewing something other than a public view of one of your works. Think of this as a feature rather than a bug. Edit: If you’re a Firefox user, and you have Greasemonkey installed (or are happy to), then this approach might be more to your taste.

• First Stab at a Greasemonkey Script
  by Shaun Johnston

  Following in the footsteps of Dave Pearson ( RB Profile Here...

  Following in the footsteps of Dave Pearson ( RB Profile Here ), I have produced my own Greasemonkey hack attempt. This script implements a visual Textile helper called markItUp on the RedBubble site, and places the helper above all textareas. Installation If you are interested in trying the script, you need to be running Firefox for starters, and you need to install the Greasemonkey addon . Once you have done this, you can fetch the Greasemonkey script from here . If you do try it, please be sure to notify me of any bugs you find. History 0.2 Now uses unpacked jQuery code for compatibility with FF2 / 0.1 First Release

  Time for another Greasemonkey hack. This one replaces the existing text formatting hint you get when making comments (the text that pops out when you click on the “Show text formatting help:” link below the comment box). Instead of the rather small bit of help you get webgrrl’s rather handy text formatting cheat sheet. See over here for more details.

• Hack: Move user actions further up a user's profile page
  by Dave Pearson

  This thread over in the forums raises an interesting point: wouldn’t it be nice if the user actions for a user’s profile (the actions for adding them to your watchlist or to send them a BubbleMail) were in pretty much the same place all the time. Currently, because they come below the user-supplied part of the profile, and because some user-supplied text can be very long, you’ve got to go hunting down the page to find them. If they always came before the user-supplied text you’d always know where to look. Inspired by this issue I’ve written a Greasemonkey script to solve the problem. So, if you use Firefox, and if you’ve got Greasemonkey installed, have a look over here.

• Edit a work from the public view: Redux

  After messing with yesterday’s edit facility hack I got to thinking that it would be fun to create a Greasemonkey script anyway. So I did This is different from the bookmarklet approach in that it adds the edit facility into the page of the work, like this:

  Now that there’s a mosaic for clothing I had to do for that mosaic what I did for PAX. Turns out I’ve got one t-shirt in there (and, again, it’s the one I expected): / Tendrils This did involve extending (the now incorrectly named) getrbart so that it can optionally export a list of clothing. I’ll be releasing a new version of that a little later on (it’s now released). It’s also reminded me that I really should rework RBArtMan so that it too isn’t just about art but lets you work with clothing too. When I find some time I’ll have to see about sorting that out. I think it’s also about time that I added a clothing page to my RedBubble wrapper site.

• Hack: Public view tab in mybubble

  Another Greasemonkey hack for RedBubble. This one adds a “public view” tab to the row of tabs you see when you’re using mybubble. While there are other ways of getting to your public view (either via the “Things you can do” menu in your main mybubble view, or from the link right at the bottom of the page) this one works well for me because it puts it in a really obvious place: If this sounds handy, and you use Firefox, and you’ve got Greasemonkey installed, pop over here and give the script a go. Edit to add: This isn’t really needed so much now because your user name, up in the top right corner of every page when you’re logged in, is now a link to your public profile.

  Yet another Greasemonkey hack for RedBubble. This one adds a Add to Google button to all forum threads. This makes it easier to keep on top of threads you’re active in (if you’re a Google Reader user, obviously). If this sounds handy, and you use Firefox, and you’ve got Greasemonkey installed, pop over here and give the script a go.

  I’ve uploaded version 0.2 of my work editing hack. This version fixes a problem with getting to the editing page for a work when you’ve arrived at that work’s page via a link in your activity log.

  I’ve uploaded version 0.4 of my work editing hack. This version fixes a clash between my code and RedBubble’s code that stopped the zoom view of art working.

  Today’s RedBubble Thursday broke a couple of my RedBubble hacks. The two affected were: Edit this work Public view tab I’ve fixed them both and have uploaded the new releases.

• "Edit this work" hack updated
  by Dave Pearson

  I’ve uploaded version 0.7 of my work editing hack...

  I’ve uploaded version 0.7 of my work editing hack. This version fixes a long-standing problem that has existed for some users ever since I released v0.3. The problem was that, for some users, the edit link would no longer appear. Thanks go to Gracey and Cathie Tranent for taking the time to report the problem and also for helping try and track it down. Extra thanks also go to Cathie for actually figuring out what the problem was (failing to do the “is this my work” check with a case-insensitive comparison, d’oh!).

• Hack: Move comment box to bottom of comments
  by Dave Pearson

  Now that I’ve finally got around to messing with Greasemonkey...

  Now that I’ve finally got around to messing with Greasemonkey I thought it might be fun to try and “fix” another RedBubble annoyance: the fact that, some time ago, the comment entry box for most works was moved to the top of the comments (personally I prefer it to be at the bottom for a couple of reasons). So, a quick bit of hacking later, and I’ve got it working. If you use Firefox, and have Greasemonkey installed, and prefer the comment entry box to be at the bottom of all the comments, give it a try. Edit: It seems that a change to RedBubble today (2007-12-13) has placed the comment box back at the bottom of the list of comments and, as such, this hack is no longer needed.

• "Add to Google Reader" button hack updated
  by Dave Pearson

  Version 0.2 of my RedBubble forums/Google reader hack...

  Version 0.2 of my RedBubble forums/Google reader hack is now available. This version fixes a problem where it wouldn’t work correctly if you were trying to use it after jumping to a specific post in a thread or if you were on a page other than the first page. See over here for more details.

• Hack: "Add to Google Reader" button for all works
  by Dave Pearson

  Following on from my forum thread Google reader hack...

  Following on from my forum thread Google reader hack, the next obvious one to do was to add the Google reader button to all works so it’s dead easy (for a lazy person like me) to follow a thread of comments on someone’s work. Just like before this one adds a Add to Google button but, this time, it adds it to the action list for a work. This makes it easier to keep on top of comment threads you want to follow (if you’re a Google Reader user, obviously). If this sounds handy, and you use Firefox, and you’ve got Greasemonkey installed, pop over here and give the script a go.

  webgrrl was kind enough to point out that my text formatting hints Greasemonkey hack was no longer working as well as it should so, this morning, I made a quick fix and released v0.2.

  This morning I was reading this thread over on the RedBubble forums and got to thinking that, while I didn’t actually like the idea that much (it’s what the middle mouse button, or the shift and control keys, were invented for), it would be easy enough to knock up a Greasemonkey script to make it happen. So, if you’re a Firefox user, and you’re willing to install Greasemonkey, and you want this functionality, head over here and give it a try.

  I’ve uploaded version 0.3 of my work editing hack. This version fixes a long-standing annoyance where the “Edit” link would appear for all works on RedBubble, even other people’s. I’ve now modified the code so that the “Edit” link will only appear on your own works.

• Hack: Extra paging in mybubble view of works
  by Dave Pearson

  Inspired by this thread over o…

  Inspired by this thread over on the RedBubble forums I’ve created a Greasemonkey script to implement the idea. All it does is add an extra row of paging options to the top of the list of your works in “mybubble” (it works for art, clothing, writing, calendars and journals). If this sounds useful and if you’re a Firefox user, and you’ve installed Greasemonkey, and you’re a RedBubble user, then head over here to grab and install a copy.

• Hack: Add average views per public work to mybubble stats
  by Dave Pearson

  Yet another mostly-pointless RedBubble Hack done in Greasemonkey...

  Yet another mostly-pointless RedBubble Hack done in Greasemonkey. This time I got to thinking that it could be useful/fun/pointless/silly to have the average number of views per public work in the stats you get at the top of the art, clothing, writing and journal sections of mybubble. Like this: Yeah, I know, not that useful, but it can be done so I did it… So, if you’re a Firefox user, and you’re willing to install Greasemonkey, and you want this functionality, head over here and give it a try.
