Dannyjkendall12: My own userscript example should it be useful elsewhere

My own userscript example should it be useful elsewhere

New page

After collecting feedback in certain areas of the dashboard I implemented by own test [http://tinyurl.com/ntsuserscript userscript] (Example given NTSU) to ease use of the dashboard.

== What is a userscript? ==

A user script is a small javascript file which modifies websites as they run locally on your machine.

== Why would I want todo that? ==

To tweak your experience as a stop gap solution whose features will eventually be added to the platform by NUS. See ideas on get satisfaction.

== Example Features ==

A staff logon button for the homepage. (On our page we have to click sign then, then select non student.)
I have added Links to the navigation to automatically view all:
# Events
# Products
# Promotions
# Groups

It appends new links to the DOM with

?grid%5Border%5D=start_date&grid%5Border_direction%5D=asc&grid%5Bpp%5D=189

where D is the total number of results
at the end of the chosen section e.g.

https://www.trentstudents.org/administrator/events?grid%5Border%5D=start_date&grid%5Border_direction%5D=asc&grid%5Bpp%5D=189

And
Add new event from the nav e.g. administrator/events/new

Hide items marked as deleted in the shop

if(location.pathname=="/administrator/products"){
$("tr td:contains('OLD Clothing Stock')").parent().hide();
$("tr td:contains('Delete')").parent().hide();
};

Finally added a save button direct from product edit page.

This is done by loading the product variants page in an iframe at the side.

== How do I get started ==

Install [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/violentmonkey/jinjaccalgkegednnccohejagnlnfdag?hl=en violetmonkey] (link assumes chrome available on firefox/opera/maxthon)

Install the script from [http://tinyurl.com/ntsuserscript here]

Open dashboard

Edit
[[File:Edit Script.png|frameless|Edit Script]]

== What if I have caused issues? ==
Really easy to disable just a couple of clicks

== Notes on the script:==
# Specific to trentstudents.org
# Not public i.e. unlisted on directory
# Requires a userscript manager (install page for Violetmonkey recommended)
# Should be easily adaptable source viewable [http://tinyurl.com/ntsuserscript here]
