Flickr Follow Comment 0.6

This is a script to implement features that have been already asked a few time all around the flickr community: have a better control over the view of the "Comments You’ve made" page to be able to filter to see only certain types of comments.

30 November 2006, by Mortimer

To install the script:

Get Firefox
Install GreaseMonkey
restart Firefox
If you liked the script, think about helping me back and consider a small donation, click the paypal button on the right.
Click on the following icon and select "Install"

2728 download(s) since 25 July 2007

The current features allow you to see directly 10 pages of comments and filter the comments displayed to show only:

photos from your contacts/friends/family with new comments
photos with new comments and less than 10 since yours (so you still see your original comment).
photos with new comments that you have not marked as ignored
photos with new comments since your last visit (loading) of the “Comment You’ve Made” page.

You can change the number of pages of comments parsed by changing the line 43

var FETCH_PHOTOS = 150;

in the file.

Make a Donation

2 user(s) already donated a total of 5.5£ to this project.

Donation don't have to be big to make a difference. I already received donations ranging from 0.50£ to 10£ and all of them made me happy. Think of it, if the thousand users of these tools made a small donation, it would not make a big difference to them, but it would to me.

You will probably enjoy using what you download from this website and if so, you can decide to make a donation. Making a donation is optional but will help to develop new tools and support the existing code.

All the software, scripts and other tools distributed on this web site are distributed under open source licenses and are available to download for free. Making the code free and available to all doesn't means it's of lower quality. The tools provided here are fully functional and their author invested some of his personal time to develop them and provide support to their users.

Think about it.

Hi, thanks for the scripts - just switched over to Firefox today because of useful people like your good self!

Should this be happening? [Running Firefox 2.0] The user name shows up multiple times next to their photo thumbnail in the comment feed.

Thanks

Roger

  This is not supposed to happen, I can’t seem to be able to reproduce the problem on my side, but I’ll look into it. You can still use it as is though?

  flickr Follow Comments works fine on my Firefox but it wouldn’t load on my Safari. So are other flickr scripts. The only one user script that works on Mac Os X is the Refer Comment. Is this an on-going upgrade to make the scripts compatible with Safari, or I am not doing it right? Thanks!

    You are not doing anything wrong, these scripts are made for Greasemonkey, an extension for Firefox that doesn’t work in Safari.
    
    The Refer Comment is a bit special as I have made a second version for browsers (like Safari) that don’t support Greasemonkey. The Follow Comment is not made like that

      I’m new here and not well-versed on these add-ons; I don’t know how to activate the Follow Comment tool I installed GreaseMonkey and installed the Follow Comment add-on and I see the monkey icon at the bottom of my screen (it is "enabled"). But, how do I tell it which photos or flickr accounts to follow? Thanks for your help.

        Go to the comments you’ve made page, if the script is installed properly, it should start processing the page and you will see the turning blue/pink balls while it process.
        
        When done, you will have a page with check boxes under each photo. Just check it to ignore the comments on that photo. Next time you will come to that page, it will be hidden.

I installed this script but all I get is an animated flickr icon. Something seems to be stalling this.

  Well, it sometime takes a long time, you should be patient
  
  Otherwise, could you check in the javascript console to see if there are errors with greasemonkey.

    I love that script but am at a loss now as it all of the sudden stopped working: all I get is that there is nothing to see (and I certainly have left comments). Tried disable/enable and re-loaded the latest version. What am I doing wrong?
    - Flickr Follow Comment 0.6 11 September 2007 22:50, by Mortimer
      
      well, it all still working for me. Perhaps you put all the photos with the latest comments in ignore.

      I also am having trouble with it. A quick look at the error console shows that auto-pagination is herniating. However, I find auto-pagination too useful to turn off.
      
      I’ll try and disable auto-paginate for http://www.flickr.com/photos_comments.gne and see what happens. Hmm. Damn. Must get to work now. I’ll revisit later.

I cannot find the text var max_.... in the document so that I can reduce the number of pages it searches.

  It is line 43 of the file: var FETCH_PHOTOS = 150;
