Kongregate Sidebar Firefox Extension page 22

Thanks for the fix Cap!
I think there have only been 13 tickets released that I know of and there are 6 per page so for anyone who uses the Copy to Clipboard button to update their profile it’s pretty easy to figure out how many tickets you have and update it manually till code can be sorted out properly.

EDIT: Tickets has been renamed Awards and now includes the Medals for completed groups of badges… so a total of 15 are currently available now.

I thought you fixed the tickets/cards thing?

Orly?

(copying stats to clipboard yeilds stats of 0 cards and 0 tickets; clearly wrong.)

I love the sidebar, i can’t think of any suggestions but new additions to it would rock!

I’ll do a little rewrite for the tickets + cards count asap, cause yes, they did indeed change things again after my quick fix. Andrew sort of promised me to include both counts in the JSON feeds somewhere over the next few weeks, we should be done with stupid problems like these then ;)

New mini update version 1.5.3.2:

v Load favorites from the profile JSON feed instead of screen scraping it.

v Bugfix: Kongregate fixed 1 of the 5 malformed XHTML errors in the stat tracking image, causing my quickfix to fail, and bringing back the problem of some things not loading…

The unofficial update notifier is also broken again because of the above, so get your updates from the Kongregate Sidebar page on my website

Unable to view unachieved badges after navigating away from it. In fact, any page related to badges (hidden by game, achieved by awarded, etc.) This is in 1.5.3.2 too.
(I also seem to be stuck in an infinite loading loop.. and it still says 6 tickets)

@notverygood, are you still experiencing these problems? I did notice them too last night (local time…), but then Kongregate itself was just loading slow as well for a bit. Now all seems OK over here, also tried your profile. I must say that with currently 840 badges on Kong, the UI might start becoming a bit heavy on some pc’s, might need to work on that soon, viewing ALL badges on my average (3 year old) pc takes about 2-4 seconds.

If it appears to be looping, could you check your Tools/Error console for Kongregate Sidebar error messages for me?

The ticket counter does indeed still only count the 1st page on your profile. The ticket/card count will be in Kongregate’s JSON profile in one of the next site updates, it’s just too slow/heavy/cumbersome/not worth it to rewrite it now to screen scrape your entire profile page 3+ times…

That’s just at the top without scrolling.

Still get the loading loop, and it’s not my computer either; it’s barely 6 months old. I atleast can see my badges, though.

And even has a type this more “warnings” are coming through..

How do i get these stats using your addon? Im expecially interested in “badge only points” and “badge level” stats.

Hover over the buttons at the bottom. One should say “copy stats to clipboard” click that and paste into a word document or whatever and lavish in your lack of achieved/unachieved badges. :D

@notverygood, the Firefox error console is not only used by my sidebar extension :) Could you perhaps just hit the “Clear” button in the error console, and then reload the sidebar? The sidebar displays caught errors in the console starting with “Kongregate Sidebar Debug Message:”. Since I can load the sidebar using your username, my best guess is that you have a whisper which contains invalid XHTML… Anyways, to test that theory, could you try to load the sidebar using my (or any other) username?

Yep, yours loads, reloads badges fine, no loading loop… so it’s this XHTML thing you’re on about.. cleared the error console. Waiting for my sidebar to load my badges that I know aren’t coming, the loading loop that I know isn’t going to end, and waiting for stuff to go through the error console. Will edit with stuff later.
Nothing in the console starting with Kongregate Sidebar Debug Message
Just lots of “unknown property” “error parsing” and “expected end of value” This sucks. Sorry to say, but for until you fix this, bye-bye Sidebar. :(

New update version 1.5.3.6:

v Implemented the new badge pages links in the header of each badge view.

v Implemented nsIJSON instead of eval() for Firefox 3 users, dropped support for Firefox 2.

v Renamed Tickets to Awards.

v Implemented better handling of not well-formed XML problems.

@notverygood, if you’re still reading this ;) This version should at least prevent the sidebar from getting stuck loading, but most likely your whispers will not show up until Kongregate is fully XHTML valid… Not really a big problem, just annoying if your sidebar gets stuck on it…

Thanks for the update, however the sidebar’s only counting the first page of them. o_o

EDIT: Oops, yeah. I meant awards. It’s not that significant, as long as the more crucial parts of the addon is working. :]

I assume you’re talking about the awards? In that case that is correct, I did not want to do a rewrite for the new paginated awards count only, so I asked Andrew (Kong developer) if he could include the count in the JSON profile (a lot faster and safer), and he said yes. So, now it’s just a little wait until the next site update or something.

CC, I’d never stop reading until I can haz answer. Just waiting for it to load uo now, don’t care about not being able tosee whispers. Will edit with whether it loaded or not.

EDIT: Ok. Its been longer than necessary. It’s not going to load. Bye-bye sidebar..again. =\
If it helps, all I can view is favourites. Would it be possible to find the whisper with the invalid XHTML without deleting all my whispers?

New update version 1.5.3.7:

v Changed the loading order of items so that the more important JSON feeds are processed before the HTML screen scraping code.

v The loading indicator now only indicates the requests, and not the processing of data, and also shows a tooltip indicating what it’s loading exactly (in case of problems).

Soo… Hit it again notverygood! And should it still not load correctly, then please switch on the debug logging option, restart Firefox, and check the Tools/Error console for me again.

SUCCESS

Thanks alot Captain for spending so much time fixing a problem for just one person, you’re the best! :D <3

It doesn’t work for me i’ve entered my username and it just stays blank saying i’ve got no friends :( and no badges. Does anyone know how I can sort this?

It takes a while for everything to come up when you first enter your name in, it’ll show up, don’t worry!
