This seems as good a place as any to mention it, but the extension is still broken for /f/. I can still use the Password box to delete stuff, but the buttons to the side of posts don't seem to function.

I'm still able to do things, it's just a bit of a hassle and I figure you probably want this fixed.

>>691
I thought I had fixed that, but looking at the code I hadn't. Try this:

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.1.xpi

admin version on the wiki. There's version for firefox 1.0+ and a version for firefox 2.0+. The 2.0+ has a ban template feature,

since I'm here: I'm pretty much re-writing the extension because its a mess and ill conceived. I haven't fully decided, but I think that this version will require firefox 2.0. I will however keep the current version of the extension working in at least 1.5+, just probably with out many new features. If anyone has any comments I will listen.

>>693

Still doesn't seem to work. It doesn't say anything like Invalid Password, it just doesn't do anything at all once I click Delete.

Suggestion: Would it be possible for the extension to highlight or otherwise indicate which threads have been escalated on the board itself instead of needing to go to the reports area to see it? This would be especially vital for the forecasted eventuality when escalated posts are no longer seen by janitors in the reports list.

>>701
It should be possible, provided that janitors have access to escalated posts, the data has to come from somewhere. I'll make a note of it to look at later.

>>705
I once asked moot if it would be possible to somehow mark on the board posts which have been reported, something that seems similar to what is being asked here, and he said it would be extremely hard to implement for some reason which I forget.

>>706
it would be pretty much impossible for it to be implemeted server-side, since all of the pages are static. it would be possible to implement this, but not nice or easy. I'll look into it when(/if) the re-written exension is finished.

New version:
http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.2.xpi

* fixes problem where you can't delete things from /f/ using the X button.
* fixes problem where you can't see reported threads in the ifram thing

Do you think you could let us choose what colors the yotsubaleaf icon displays for the various defcon levels? I notice the red fine, but with my slight colorblindness the difference between the yellow and green isn't very obvious and I often don't notice it unless I'm looking right at it.

>>784

seconding this, I too am kind of colorblind and I can't really notice the difference in the color at a glance.

letting you set the colour? probably not, since the icons are pngs/gifs, and I don't really want to write code to generate them. but I could probably make it so you can use your own icons for some/all of the states. Or you could make some icons that you can easily distinguish and I could add a colour-blind mode?

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.3.xpi

just a minor bug fix version.
Mainly just fixes this bug: >>226

There's also an Admin version on the wiki which adds ban templates to the ff 1.0+ version, it was far less work than I thought. I'll remove it if/when coda implements it in the site code (and its not super slow).

ATTN MODS

I screwed up with which version of the extension uses which update url. If you're using ff 1.5 and you updated you'll probably get a load of mozStorate errors. update to the version on the wiki.

>>793
Yeah, a color-blind mode would be good - most color-blind people are good with blue. Yellow, blue, and red would probably be good, white/black should be good, too... you could probably just include 5-10 different colored icons that we could set ourselves pretty easily, no? itty-bitty pngs...

hey should the janitor toolbox be draggable like the thread watcher is? because i get the four-way arrow cursor when i mouse over the title of the frame but clicking and dragging only selects text.

>>809
No, its supposed to be static. The move icon is wrong.

Is anyone else having LOTS of crashes with Firefox 2.0.0.3 and 0.4.5.0 janitor plugin?

I'm getting crashes almost every few minutes, and I can't think of what else it could be :(

I'm going to see if uninstalling it cures the crashing...

>>875
did you ever find out if the extensions actually was causing the crash? I've never had the extension crash firefox before but im sure it's possible!

I was just thinking that perhaps there should be a ban request option available for people who have submitted a report that is basically just horribly dumb.

>>884
mods can do that, and its not something I can can add at the extension end, the ban interface would have to be expanded to allow ban requests for abusing the report system.

I have been getting parse errors or something of the like that show up whenever I first enter 4chan and any janitor activity. This may be because I'm still using FF v.1.0.7 but for it to happen almost randomly doesn't make sense either. Anyone else with a similar problem? I'm going to work on it later tonight, either uninstall-reinstall extension or update to a newer version of FF, 1.5.0.

>>886
that kind of error happens when firefox recives information from 4chan it wasn't expecting, you might be signed out or not have your username/password setup correctly. it may be because of the old version of firefox also, I haven't run 1.0.x in years.

Requests :
1. Ability to select all posts by the same author in a thread.
2. A page or pop-up that stops a janitor from ban requesting the same person more than once.
3. Ability to request assistance from other janitors when boards are being flooded by rampant multiple offenders.

>>974

I've never really been able to 2-click delete stuff, so I'd like to double check the general janitor password AGAIN, simply because I've yet to get it to work.

I also get lots of "type M has no properties" messages.

>>1059
it's probably not a good idea to post that here, you should hop on the irc channel and msg a mod.

Hey how come the "Report and then Escalate" feature for the tools doesn't work anymore? It is a valuable tool for me since I can see whether or not someone who is posting a bannable image already has a ban request pending...

Tonight im getting this any time I try to delete an image.

>>1071
err, i mean any time i try to delete it with the extension. going into reports and deleting from there works fine.

>>1071
Seconded.

DamageInc knows about the issues with the extension. Hopefully he'll whip up a fix ASAP.

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.4.xpi

* works with new none-frames lay out
* very-long-standing bug when following a link to a first post would cause a 404 should be fixed
* report button should now work again
* report then escalate feature fixed

I can't seem to reproduce the delete bug that you seem to be getting. Let me know if you still get it with this version, and of any other bugs you see.

I just upgraded, and I still get the same error that >>1071 gets when I try to delete and image or banrequest something.

>>1075
I just tried playing with the new version, and it seems like my noscript plugin is cocking up the deletion now. I'm allowing anything that shows up, but unless I allow scripting globably, I get that error.

>>1075
would it be possible to add a "this IP has been already been ban requested X times" to the ban request feature of the extension, or would that be too difficult?

>>1078
That would be very helpful.

>>1078

seconding this.

One more question; when I click on the reports button to check things out and clear/delete, etc them, there isn't a link to go back to the board I was in. Is it possible to add in something like that, so i don't have to go back through the homepage?

>>1080
that's not part of the extension, so you'd have to bring that up with an administrator.

Most people solve it by opening the reports page in a tab by middle clicking it.

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.6.xpi

* minor update to fix image expanding in /b/
* should now work in firefox 3.0b*

mods see wiki or check for updates

This happens every now and again.
I log in fine, and my reports icon works fine, and I can perform janitorial actions through the extension just fine, but the toolbar sometimes switches to "user/pass not set". When I go to the extension options, I see what's to the left there. My username isn't that mess, and my password isn't that long. Still, I can perform all normal janitorial actions even though that garbage is in there.

i recently got some new boards to janitor, but not all of them refuse to be set as janitor - I can't get them to change from [N] to [Y] in the boards settings. Specifically, /c/, /co/ (which I already was a janitor of and was working fine before), /h/, /i/ and /f/. I can change them to [Y] and click "apply", and it looks like it works, but it doesn't actually change anything and if I close and re-enter the options they'll be back as [N]. *shrug* I can definitely see & handle reports from those boards, though, it's just the extension's being wonky.

And if we could get different color options for the leafcon danger indicator in the corner, that'd be great since I'm colorblind and can't tell the difference between the yellow and green.

>>1114
>>1118

DamageInc, can you please address these problems?

Yes, but I've just been too busy at work to have the time/care about any of this stuff. I should be able to get it done at the weekend (and fix the new styles)

>>1123

Understood. Thanks!

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.8.xpi

* fixed problem with janitor boards not being remembered correctly
* added "Global Janitor" option which just assumes your a janitor on every board
* new Yotsuba B theme now uses the blue button set
* fixed bug where the reports iframe would not display reported threads in /r9k/ correctly.
* re-added support for frames - off by default, enable in the config

>>1126
Awesome! Works great.
Thankers.

ever since we started having server problems, im getting this message a lot, when i try to go to any page. Im on firefox 3b5 btw

>>1139
yes that happens on firefox 3, switch back to the old version.

>>1140
It happens when the server hosting www/orz/tmp is fucked up, as it was this past week.

>>1142
still happening even though the servers are fixed

>>1143
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE FUCKED THEN!

Paging DamageInc... :(

let me be the first to say thanks for the update which fixes the firefox 3 issues

Bump. This popup will drive me insane.

Update: Seems to be fixed in 3.0 RC1 but now the "watch thread" button on the top left of each thread next to the checkbox seems to be broken.

>>1155
Also the expand post button is completely missing.

Ever since the upgrade to 0.4.5.10, the extension fails to do anything. I've disabled/enabled, and everything is as though I don't have the extension installed at all (no leaf, no floating window on top right, no buttons on posts, etc.). I also can't access Preferences, as the button does nothing when I click it.

I'm using Linux 2.6.24-16-generic with Firefox 3.0b5.

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.11.xpi

fixed

>>1158
Works now. Thanks.

>>1158
Awesome. Thanks.

>>1158
I keep getting this error with the new toolbar when I start firefox.

I'm >>1157
All functions of the extension work fine except for the delete button above each post. I consistently get "failed to delete post" when I try to delete anything using that button. The ban request button even works fine and deletes the post, and I can report the post for myself and delete using the reports interface, but I can never delete using the X button above a post.

>>1164

seconding this. I keep getting "failed to delete post, perhaps it was not reported :(" a lot lately. Is there any way to get it fixed, whiles i'm trying to delete a b invasion off the boards?

>>1165

getting this same problem.. was working fine when i had *.8 but keeps giving me "Failed to delete post :(" with *.11

Reverted to *.8 to no avail.

>>1168
The administration system as a whole has been really iffy lately, so it makes sense that deleting posts is affected.

>>1177
Latest should work fine.

I am getting this as well.

the current version is 0.4.5.12 and it does work with firefox 3.0.1 http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.12.xpi

Perhaps it is just me, but the extension seems... broken. I can't delete or ban-request on the fly anymore, getting failure messages about 90% of the time I try to do so. The Reports list lets me do everything fine, but I can't use the buttons while actually browsing. Is this due to the server issues we're having?

>>1224

I am having the same issues, so it isn't just you. Firefox did a force upgrade on my browser so i'm not sure if that is what it was, or if it was something else.

>>1225

This has happened a lot to me today, to the point where I can't delete anything without an error coming up saying that the post was not reported. And on the odd occasion where that doesn't happen, the thread remains there anyway.

There are a lot of the same issues that pop up for me too. Ban request will have an error saying that it failed because perhaps it wasn't reported. Deletions via the extension will say that the post/image did not delete for both cases when it has succeeded and failed. I usually have to refresh the page to make sure that it is deleted.

I know that this is nothing new. But I wanted some more effort to be put forth to getting these errors corrected.

>>1231

any luck on getting this fixed in the future? I can't delete/ban request/do anything from my janitor extension at the moment and have taken to just deleting violating threads manually. I checked my passwords, logged out, logged back in, doublechecked all my settings, etc.

Update on this:

Many of my issues were fixed simply by upgrading to Firefox 3. This probably won't work for everyone, but it's worth a try.

This actually has nothing really to do with the Janitor part of the extension, but I thought I'd call to attention that the Report shortcut button in /f/ is busted, giving you a 404 error if you try to use it. The non-extension way of reporting still works, though.

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.13.xpi

or do a Find Updates

* Quick Reply fixed in FF 3.5 [thanks Anonymous]
* Image Expanding fixed for custom spoiler image [also thanks Anonymous]
* Extension now works when you visit a board via its root directory
(e.g. >>>/a/ )
* Removed some old code which was causing images to randomly open in
new tabs rather than being expanded.

I haven't managed to address any janitor-only problems yes I'm affraid. hopefully I'll manage to in the near future.

http://4chan.wrathfilledhate.net/nojanitormenuhere/4chan_janitor.v0.4.5.14.xpi

A minor update which fixes quick reply in older version of firefox.

I've got various problems with the new extension. First of all, I get this error pop up when I access some boards. I'm also unable to see a preview of the thread in which a report was made within the reports page. Finally, the color of the janitor tools don't correspond with the sfw/nsfw category the board belongs to.

thanks
