LJ Thread Unfolder w/ Unfold All, for all layouts (greasemonkey)

[mrmord]

This script adds unfold functionality to LJ, it will unfold comments that have been hidden without having to reload the page or browse to a different page.

Originally by Tim Babych and extended by Henrik N, I've updated this Greasemonkey script to work with most/all LJ layouts

Comments

Very cool.

One issue - it looks like there's supposed to be an 'unfold the whole thread' link but it isn't working, at least on the journal I'm reading currently. It unfolds the first comment and nothing else.

But considering yesterday I couldn't unfold anything on that layout, I'm not complaining, just reporting :)

The 'unfold all'-link is at the bottom of the page.

[fiveforsilver]

Ah, hm. I didn't see that, but ok, that seems to work.

And that being the case, there is an 'unfold' link that I don't understand why it's there - in not-folded comments.

[mrmord]

Latest update might fix that for you, try it out.

I think that's what was meant by "Does not retain original recursive unfolding feature (wip)". I miss it too. :/

[fiveforsilver]

Well, I've always wished there were options - unfold thread or unfold comment. Because I've had unfolder things that do both (or rather, one or the other) and I like them both and it's always frustrating to just have one or the other.

I'm not a big fan of 'unfold all' because it just takes too long.

(Edited the first sentence so it made more sense)

[mrmord]

I'm working on a way to have the functionality of both, it's a little tough but I'm sure I can figure it out. The tricky part is making it work with so many different themes at once.

Yeah, I'd be all over this script if I could choose.

All the same, great work and thanks for sending.

Bug report:

Opera 9.21, Windows XP, this post: http://kate-nepveu.livejournal.com/267146.html

The sub-thread starting with this post: http://kate-nepveu.livejournal.com/267146.html?thread=2606986#t2606986

shows only the header bar of the comment, not the comment itself or the subsequent posts.

I'm on a mac so I can't test it myself with the same environment, but using opera on the Mac seems to work fine. Could you possibly upload a screenshot somewhere?

I'm hopefully going to have a working recursive unfold soon, I'm looking into what I can do about putting the links for unfold all and unfold thread somewhere that doesn't rely on the "add new comment" link.

FWIW: I like the way the original adds the "unfold" to "thread," myself. I don't know how separable those are, obviously.
