Script: Team PM - Version 1.0.1

[Ickyketseddie]

Hmm interesting. Not on https no.. i was trying a couple on new scripts from here and also had the watch game script. But since that puts way too much stuff everywhere i just switched it off and presto i have the pm teammates button!

Thanks for a quick reply anyhow!

Love this tool. Thank you very much.


One way I and a number of us in the UserGroup Whom or What use it is to post our planned moves in Team Chat, then copy and paste into Team PM, hit send, Voila!! The team mates get the PM with the planned move so they can think about it, can quickly go to the game and there in the chat is the planned move, with the map, all for easy reference. Put your input into team chat or hit reply on the Team PM with a response, Voila!.the team is communicating, having fun. learning and bonding and winning.

I suspect this will become the required standard for team games, and take them to a new level. Thank you again.

Glad everyone likes this and that it's useful!

I just updated the script now. I don't have an auto update system so please go to the userscripts page to install again. From my own testing it appears to work fine in Chrome but I would appreciate more testing of that.

It's now up on github but that url may change eventually, not sure of the best collaborative workflow yet.

Thanks!

Yeah, doesn't seem to work in FF 3..

So, I have this script and it hasn't been working most of the time and I was trying to figure out why. I just realized why.

I use https always unless I get accidentlly redirected to http.

Is there a way to make the script work on both for me? Is this a problem with other scripts?

Try removing then reinstalling it. I added https support in the last version.

Actually, just reinstalling should work fine, greasemonkey/chrome should pick up the changes automatically.

[chapcrap]

Thanks. It does work now.

Mine doesn't work on Chrome is that changed in this version?

Yes, version 0.4 should work in Chrome. You can check that it is enabled and installed by going to chrome://settings/extensions

Any reason why you haven't upgraded to FF10?

In any case, I have changed the first post to state that only the latest versions of browsers are supported. Unfortunately I don't/can't keep old versions installed.

Could we consider changing the default title of the PM's ?

This gets used all the time now and sometimes we are drowning in PM's Given I don't memorise game numbers, a more useful PM title might include any tournament title and the map name. (appreciating this might need to be truncated). Doing that allows you to pick out and address the important ones.

I would agree with this. I change the title to something like: "Our King's Court Triples Game"

[ThrushAAX]

That's a great idea. It would be pretty easy to get the map name with FF... unsafeWindow.map.title

Chrome is a bit of a problem, going to have to dig deeper and maybe hack something together.

I considered grabbing the name from the image url but the names sometimes include what appears to be a version number which makes that impossible.

Given the game number, you can use the Conquer Club API to get information about a game, including the name of the map, and the tournament title, if any. No need for unsafeWindow accesses. There is a stickied topic about the API in the Tools Development forum.

Yeah, I really didn't want to hit the CC API. That may end up being the best route. The other option that I am considering is just grabbing the inline JS from the script tag and running some string searching on it.

BOB is using that other option for getting the map data, it might be the better choice in this case.

LOL, I guess I wasn't even aware it was out... or I neglected to upgrade in the past because I read some of these add-ons/scripts weren't compatible and never revisited the issue.

Upgraded to FF10 and all is well! Thanks for the awesome script!

[ThrushAAX]

Ok, You've convinced me to use the CC API. It will sometimes take upwards of half a second for it to get data back but oh well...

For the new subject I like the format "Our <mapname> <quads, triples, doubles> for <tournament name>". So for me this would be "Our Flanders 1302 doubles for Davis Cup 2012 [TPA2]". The maximum character length for subjects is 60, so longer tournament names will be cut off. However, tournament names are unique enough that it should still be OK. (It could be shortened a bit by using trips and dubs. Any opinion?)

Any suggestions for adding anything more to the default message body or is the game number enough?

[ender516]

Does the size of the team really add anything to the subject if there is a tournament involved? Do you find yourself in different size games in the same tourney? I would use "Our <mapname> game for <tournament>" or "Our <mapname> <doubles, triples, quadruples> game". You could leave out "game", especially in the tournament version to get more useful text.

[chapcrap]

I'm agreeing with ender.

You could probably leave the word 'Our' off of the front as well. I'm not sure that the tournament names need in there either.

Also agree, and thanks for picking up on the suggestion

[HardAttack]

are you planning to extend this beautiful tool with an additional property,
such as,
automatic wall message to the whole team players ?

btw, great work pal, nicely done, thank you.

Can you change the auto message "Our Team Game [game]xxxxxxxx[/game]" into "[game]xxxxx[/game]" ? No need to use "our team game" text part IMO. What do you think ?

[ThrushAAX]

OK, finally uploaded version 0.5. I actually had worked on it a few weeks ago but just finalized it now.

Game number is removed from subject as you can't really use it. Instead if shows the map name and the game type or the tournament name. No more "Our"
