Iâ€™m currently experiencing two problems with CoComment (when it works though, the new version rocks). Iâ€™m using Opera 9 (and yes, I know you donâ€™t support it fully yet).

The first is that the extension of course wonâ€™t work with Opera. Iâ€™ve taken the code from the bookmarklet and popped it into a userscript. On pages that support cocomment itâ€™s fine â€“ it just displays the cocomment bar under the textarea, as it should. On every other page, though, it brings up a popup â€“ not ideal. Can you add a flag to the bookmarklet to allow users of the bookmarklet to disable the initial popup?

Something like http://www.cocomment.com/js/handler.js?popup=false etc.

The other problem is that the popup itself simply says â€œundefinedâ€ on any page which doesnâ€™t support cocomment. This wonâ€™t be a problem if I can disable the popup for pages that donâ€™t support cocomment.

The handler.js file is not intended for this purpose. I added a special file that should make coComment work with any browser that supports user scripts. Try and see what happens when you point the user script to http://www.cocomment.com/js/injector.js instead.

I might still need to make some changes to it, but with this file we should be able to get any userscript environment including Opera and greasemonkey, but also using Reify Turnabout for Internet Explorer to behave like the Firefox extension in auto-matic mode.

Let me know how that goes.

Hi Mocha.

Thanks for getting back to me. I wasn't exactly sure how you'd set your script up, so I tried it as a userscript in its own right first, and then tried calling it through a user script as I would the handler script.

Neither of these had any effect. It didn't tie anything to coComment. No errors were reported in my JavaScript console. Nothing happened at all ...

It's the second approach you mentioned. The user script basically needs to insert a script tag into the document, that points to the injector.js file. I didn't look at the code right now, but you might have to add an "id" attribute to that script element, basically equivalent to this:

<script id="cocomment-fetchlet" src="http://www.cocomment.com/js/injector.js"></script>

Sorry, I really didn't test this myself yet, but maybe it's just the missing attribute that makes the difference.

Nice. It works.

Here's the user script I'm using in case anyone else would find it useful. Does the job on Opera 9, and untested elsewhere

// ==UserScript==
// @name coComment
// @description coComment
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {

function cocomment() {

var element=document.createElement('script');
element.setAttribute('id','cocomment-fetchlet');
element.setAttribute('src','http://www.cocomment.com/js/injector.js');
document.body.appendChild(element);

}

window.addEventListener("load", cocomment(), false);

})();

Does not seam to Work on Opera 9.02

i'm actually having trouble with both the userjs and the bookmarklet at the moment.

sometimes they work sometimes they don't, and its not just different websites, this is happening on the same websites.
