is it possible that a greasemonkey script can work on one computer but not on another?
- by plastic cloud
i'm writing an greasemonkey script for somebody else. he is a moderator and i am not. and the script will help him do some moderating things.
now the script works for me. as far as it can work for me.(as i am not a mod)
but even those things that work for me are not working for him..
i checked his version of greasemonkey plugin and firefox and he is up to date.
only thing that's really different is that i'm on a mac and he is pc, but i wouldn't think that would be any problem.
this is one of the functions that is not working for him. he does gets the first and third GM_log message. but not the second one ("got some(1) ..").
kmmh.trackNames = function(){
GM_log("starting to get names from the first "+kmmh.topAmount+" page(s) from leaderboard.");
kmmh.leaderboardlist = [];
for (var p=1; p<=(kmmh.topAmount); p++){
var page = "http://www.somegamesite.com/leaderboard?page="+ p;
var boardHTML = "";
dojo.xhrGet({
url: page,
sync: true,
load: function(response){
boardHTML = response;
GM_log("got some (1) => "+boardHTML.length);
},
handleAs: "text"
});
GM_log("got some (2) => "+boardHTML.length);
//create dummy div and place leaderboard html in there
var dummy = dojo.create('div', { innerHTML: boardHTML });
//search through it
var searchN = dojo.query('.notcurrent', dummy).forEach(function(node,index){
if(index >= 10){
kmmh.leaderboardlist.push(node.textContent); // add names to array
}
});
}
GM_log("all names from "+ kmmh.topAmount +" page(s) of leaderboard ==> "+ kmmh.leaderboardlist);
does anyone have any idea what could be causing this ??
EDIT: i know i had to write according to what he would see on his mod screen. so i asked him to copy paste source of pages and so on. and besides that, this part of the script is not depending on being a mod or not.
i got everything else working for him. just this function still doesn't on neither of his pc's.
