GreaseMonkey - My LJ Style

[happysteve]

For those who use Firefox and has the GreaseMonkey extension installed, I wrote this for YOU:

My LJ StyleThis will add "?style=mine" to the URL of everybody's livejournals and communities. Plus, it will add it to all LJ links in the page, too

// @include http://www.livejournal.com/users/*
// @include http://www.livejournal.com/~*
// @include http://www.livejournal.com/community/*
// @exclude http://*.livejournal.com/*.bml*This seems to be missing an @include http://*.livejournal.com/* before the @exclude.

Also - not knowing GreaseMonkey - when is this script executed? It would seem that it's executed when a page finishes loading, which would cause the "unwanted" layout to appear first and then a reload taking place. Is that right?

I did try the "@include http://*.livejournal.com/*" at first, but it was causing some pages to break, which is why I now specify these @include statements... just to be on the safe side. You can always add it yourself under Tools->Manage User Scripts->My LJ Style

GreaseMonkey is supposed to execute after the DOM is fully loaded, but before the page finishes loading. In the script I set the new location right off the bat, but yeah I see the "unwanted" page first load as well. (I've manually added the ?style=mine to all my LJ bookmarks now.)

If anybody knows a way of immediately changing the location BEFORE even starting to load the page, I'll gladly credit you in the script. Thanks.

Okay, never mind my comment above. I'll just add

http://*.livejournal.com/
http://*.livejournal.com/friends*

Why only Recent Entries and Friends?

[camomiletea]

Because I don't feel like adding a bunch of years, since you can post with almost any year, and because I forgot about other views at first...

I added http://*.livejournal.com/*.html* -- which is an entry. I don't think .html is used anywhere else on LJ, so that shouldn't break any pages. I suppose I could add http://*.livejournal.com/calendar/*

I was only asking out of curiosity; I don't actually have a use for your script because I have already solved this with Proxomitron (shortly after style=mine was made). :-)
