Hey, I wrote a bookmarklet to generate code for a simple like/unlike box. Works on the main forums ONLY.

Code:

javascript:
function aFuNcTiOn() {
     var teststring = document.location.href;
     if (teststring.substr(0, 47) == 'http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=') {
         var topicID = /(\d)+/gi.exec(teststring)[0];
         var BBCODE = '[url=http://scratchloveit.netne.net/topicrate.php?id=' + topicID + '&ret=add][url]http://scratchloveit.netne.net/topicrate.php?id=' + topicID + '&ret=image[/url][/url]';
         var NENENENE = prompt('BBCode: Press Ctrl(cmd on Mac)-c, then Ctrl(cmd on Mac)-v to paste it', BBCODE);
     } else {
         alert('BAD URL!');
     }
 }
aFuNcTiOn();

WARNING!! THIS WILL NOT ALWAYS WORK!

Put all that in one line and copy/paste into the
URL field of a bookmark or your browser address bar (Yes, including the

Code:

javascript:

).

Currently only tested on Google Chrome, because I really don't want to wait for the other browsers to load.

Google Chrome > Firefox > Opera > Safari > Internet Explorer

I will test this out later when I can get to my computer, but it looks really useful, I might even add it to the first post!

probably because your not on a topic page.
The way you can tell it's a topic page is this:

What the url shouldn't look like:


What the url should look like:


The number after the url won't always be that, it's only true of this topic. You can get to the topic page by going to the advanced topics forum and clicking on the link to the topic from there.

If doing what I said doesn't work I'm not sure what you can do..

OK, I know you have a pretty long to-do list already, but what about adding a list of individual supporters?

You would need to make it not too graphically great, since the height should be variable depending on the number of supporters.

This would require associating Scratcher ID numbers instead of IP's, and somehow bringing the users onto a login page to verify the ID and then adding the support. Maybe once they logged in once you could keep their IP. It's a very long and hard project which I would certainly attempt if I was back at home.

I think I would have this as a seperate option, until I knew it fully worked but great idea, adding to todo list

If you don't get around starting it before August, I could always give you a hand     

Well, I'm on holiday next week, so I'll probably start it this week and then you can finish it off 

I think I'm going to add post-liking today. Your favourite

Maybe different color to distinguish difference? 

What do you recommend?

I don't know.
Funny how I'm working with colors right this moment (adding color support to FireScript, Firedust's really good programming language) and don't know what to suggest to you 

Hmmm... thinking about it, I think the best color for the posts would be the same color as the top bar (#0066B9).  █████████

For the topic, maybe white is fine (also since people are already used to it a bit).

good idea! I'll test it out.

Edit: right, I did it. Now to test them out:
Topic, style 1.
http://scratchloveit.netne.net/topicrat … ;ret=image
Topic, style 2.
http://scratchloveit.netne.net/topicrat … mp;style=2
Post, style 1.
http://scratchloveit.netne.net/topicrat … ;type=post
Post, style 2.
http://scratchloveit.netne.net/topicrat … ;type=post

Edit: woo they work! do you think I should make the text on the post style 1 white?

Yes, white. Great!!   

Happy walk then

What on earth is that browser? Firefox? A mashed up version of Chrome?
