Thursday January 24, 2008 Take 3 - LifeHacker Category Viewer GreaseMonkey Script Working Again
|
You may remember a post from last November that described a GreaseMonkey script that would display the list of categories of the LifeHacker web site and allow you to dynamically display all the posts associated with each category. |
Tyler Trafford, (who gave me lots of help getting that working), emailed me today with a change I would need to make because of the new security enhancements in the latest version of the GreaseMonkey Firefox add-on.
In testing it, we discovered that the script no longer worked with the LifeHacker site, with or without the suggested change.
Before I could get to it (darn RealWork™ getting in the way again), Tyler went and worked out what other changes had to be made to the GreaseMonkey script and sent them to me (thankyou!).
For you conspiracy theorists, I should let you know that when I posted the previous version back in November, I sent an email to the LifeHacker folks telling them about it. I was under the naïve impression that they might want to let their users know. Hah! Not a dickie bird. Nothing posted to their web site. No acknowledgment whatsoever.
And now we find that the old script doesn't work anymore because they've changed their website layout!
Coincidence? I think not. Let this be just our little secret this time.
