KILLFILE 2.0

From the sandbox thread: KILLFILE: HOW TO

This doesn't seem to be working for http://www.ilxor.com:8080/ILX/. Does it have anything to do with how usernames are set up?

Somebody was bound to ask, so here it is.

pft I suck at this btw. the webmail link in between the div class and the actual username is killing me right now. If I can figure that out it should work

Thanks! One slight issue - is it just me or does this leave absolutely no evidence of excision, not even a line?

― toby, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 18:14 (3 years ago) Permalink

yeah none whatsoever. I am thinking about working on it. I honestly haven't put anybody in my own script yet.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 18:17 (3 years ago) Permalink

i think i prefer there to be no evidence at all. as long as there's a choice of either/or then cool. i haven't tried this on nu-ilx yet tho. cheers to ever-useful koogs (A&J + other bits on their way to you as soon as the DVD-Rs i ordered arrive btw).

― blueski, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 18:19 (3 years ago) Permalink

i did try stealing a bit of andrew's code for inserting a message but gave up after 5 minutes of not getting it to work.

yes, no lines because now the lines are inside the messages rather than between them.

(cheers stevem)

I am closing in on replacing killed posts with text/hr. But it will probably take me until tonight to finish at the rate I'm going.

― Jaq, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:43 (3 years ago) Permalink

ok, replace the code in the last for loop with

var thisLink = posts.snapshotItem(i);
div = thisLink.parentNode;
div.innerHTML = "<div>Post by " + jerk + " deleted<br /><hr/></div>";

and that should do it.

― koogs, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:44 (3 years ago) Permalink

xpost. sorry Jaq. 8)

― koogs, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:45 (3 years ago) Permalink

Oh excellent koogs, that rox - you saved me hours of poking at stuff :) I was only getting the names to replace instead of the whole post.

― Jaq, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 20:06 (3 years ago) Permalink

Hahaha! Oh, that works a treat :)

I changed the text to be div.innerHTML = "<div>Inanity by the poxy fule" + jerk + " deleted for all time.<br /><hr/></div>";

Awesome, Koogs! I love it.

A fantastic idea. I have been too lazy to set up the new killfile so far though.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 22:23 (3 years ago) Permalink

i had some trouble earlier today because i had 8080 in the url and that's changed.

anyway, place this snippet before the for loop for a nice little reminder in top right that some messages were blocked

if (posts.snapshotLength != 0) {
var logo = document.createElement("div");
logo.innerHTML = '<div style="position:fixed; top:0; right:0; left=auto; z-index:10; background-color:red; color:white; font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold;">Some Posts Were Blocked</div>';
document.body.insertBefore(logo, document.body.firstChild);
}

(jaq, got email, thanks. most of credit goes to will for the original, i only fixed it for ilx2 (my first greasemonkey script as it happens))

― koogs, Saturday, 3 March 2007 15:01 (3 years ago) Permalink

I'm dying to know who is killing whom. I challenge you to create a little PacManesque critter that gobbles up the posts of those you deem killable.

― Maria :D, Saturday, 3 March 2007 15:09 (3 years ago) Permalink

another one, this one makes the Skipping x messages a lot bigger and redder:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Skipping
// @namespace
// @description A Bigger Skipping Message
// @include http://www.ilxor.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

skipping = document.evaluate("//div/form/p[starts-with(a, 'Skipping ')]",
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);

// get paragraph, set colours
p = skipping.snapshotItem(0)
p.style.textAlign = 'center';
p.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
p.style.fontWeight = 'bolder';
p.style.fontStyle = 'normal';
p.style.fontSize = '15px';

― koogs, Saturday, 3 March 2007 16:17 (3 years ago) Permalink

Thanks, Tom. Thanks Koogs!

"<div>BLAH BLAH BLAH " + jerk + " I CAN'T HEAR YOU<br /><hr/></div>";

― Fluffy Bear, Saturday, 3 March 2007 17:12 (3 years ago) Permalink

cheers koogs, I still owe you a pint. And Will, you too wherever you are. I worked out how to convert the img src links to a href, but then realized if I open a thread with ton of pics it's still pulling them down so takes forever to load etc. A worthwhile exercise, I guess, but pointless.

― Jaq, Saturday, 3 March 2007 17:26 (3 years ago) Permalink

(oddly those last two changes don't work together - the first creates a div that seems to break the xpath in the second. maybe if i add the div at the end...)

yes, next thing was going to be modifying the 'Skipping...' message link to point to the exact message within the expanded page, save people having to find it again. unfortunately that needed some server code changes but, apparently, they were done before i even mentioned it. that keith may look dozy but he's actually quite on the ball. 8)

Potential killfile quirk alert - I don't seem to be able to block anyone whose username contains non-ANSI characters.

― J, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:55 (3 years ago) Permalink

i did wonder, only yesterday, if that would cause problems. i guess the problem is getting the characters into the javascript.

possible way around this is to turn the test into a 'starts-with' or a 'contains' so you can find parts of words without having to match the entire thing, for instance, and this is only an example, first thing that popped into my head, don't know why, 'ppppp dude'.

(of course, making it a substring makes it hard to then block anyone called, i don't know, 'J' 8)

― koogs, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:15 (3 years ago) Permalink

Now who would want to block lil' ol' me?

(Actually, I think TOMBOT has me blocked!)

― J, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:21 (3 years ago) Permalink

ok, new version:

if you killfile someone, do you killfile the titles of threads they start in addition to posts they make or only their posts?

― gabbneb, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 14:58 (3 years ago) Permalink

only their posts (inc the opening post of a thread they start)

― blueski, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 15:01 (3 years ago) Permalink

[xpost] Only their posts. The script could be changed to kill the thread titles too, I think.

That script seems to blacklist boards but not people (forgive my stupidity if I'm totally messing this up), I'm a little confused - there's no "var fules" in it anywhere.

― Nhex, Sunday, 9 August 2009 01:26 (1 year ago) Permalink

Doh... I can't get this to work, I'm baffled. Greasemonkey and the script are installed and supposedly enabled, I put in the username in the var fules array (the ones in the parentheses, right, like

var fules = [/Jaq/];

) and nothing happens... anyone using this currently?

― Nhex, Sunday, 9 August 2009 02:26 (1 year ago) Permalink

Doesn't seem to work anymore. I had it installed, just not enabled. Enabled it and nothing.

― svend, Sunday, 9 August 2009 02:42 (1 year ago) Permalink

the killfile code is very delicate in terms of document structure and every time keith adds something new it tends to break. will look into it and post a new version (and also try and make it less delicate)

― koogs, Sunday, 9 August 2009 17:34 (1 year ago) Permalink

The class was still 'name', but I didn't look any closer at it. Thanks koogs.

― handmaid of the demon bean (Jaq), Sunday, 9 August 2009 17:38 (1 year ago) Permalink

looks like the a tag is no longer {a whatever}name{/a} but {a whatever} name{/a}...

― koogs, Sunday, 9 August 2009 17:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

ok, killxor script updated. http://www.koogy.clara.co.uk/ilx/kilxor.user.js

check you have the right version (20090809) and you'll need to copy over your fules list

the extra space wasn't a problem for me as i was using non-anchored substrings but if anyone is using ^ in their fules then they may need to add a space. the problem was an extra level or two of divs in the messages. have now changed the code so it finds the name then moves outwards from the link until it finds the 'message' div. which should be more robust.

board script next...

― koogs, Sunday, 9 August 2009 18:17 (1 year ago) Permalink

arg, don't donwload just yet, that version still has debug in it.

site new answers update (and possibly a rename)

yeah, both these have to compare all threads or messages against all your blacklisted items so they could drag on long threads if you hate lots of people.
