Removing tweaks.js

[robmueller]

Due to some security issues we've recently become aware of, we have to remove tweaks.js support. I emailed everyone that has an active tweaks.js file yesterday to let them know.

The closest equivalent is greasemonkey (firefox) or tampermonkey (chrome). Here's some instructions for setting up:

1. Install Greasemonkey into Firefox
2. Go to Tools -> Greasemonkey -> New user script. For each field shown enter:

Name: FastMail Tweaks
Namespace: https://www.fastmail.fm/tweaks
Description: (anything you want)
Includes: (delete any values and leave blank)
Excludes: (blank)

You should end up with a default script editor that looks like:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        FastMail Tweaks
// @namespace   https://www.fastmail.fm/tweaks
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

Now add the following line under the @grant line:

// @match https://*.fastmail.fm/html/*

3. Go back to a browser tab, login to FastMail
4. Navigate to the Files screen and the "custom-ui/js" folder
5. Click "(details)" next to the "tweaks.js" filename
6. You should see an "Edit Content" section with your script. Select all the content and copy to the clipboard
7. Go back to the greasemonkey editing window. Paste the clipboard content at the very end of the editing area, underneath all the existing lines
8. Click Save

That should be it. At that point the script should be installed and running again on your pages.

You might need to make changes to the script depending on what it does. For instance, some scripts attempt to load additional scripting content (e.g. aes.js). That won't work because the aes.js script isn't in the same location as the tweaks.js anymore. Using @require and @resource is the solution to this, but I haven't got a simple way to set this up for people.

Since someone asked me, one main thing you have to do is remove any "addEvent('domready', ...)" part. The reason is the script already runs at 'domready' time. You will need to leave any "addEvent('keydown', ... )" parts.

So for instance:

// Notepad screen:  move "Create new note" button to top, followed by
"Sort by" 
// -- Updated by Bill n5bb (2011.05.02)
window.addEvent('domready', function () {
   if ($('notepad')) {
      ($$('div.sortBy')[0]).inject($$('.collapseContainer')[0],'top');
      ($$('li.listButton')[0]).inject($$('.collapseContainer')[0],'top');
   }
});

Would become:

// Notepad screen:  move "Create new note" button to top, followed by
"Sort by" 
// -- Updated by Bill n5bb (2011.05.02)
if ($('notepad')) {
   ($$('div.sortBy')[0]).inject($$('.collapseContainer')[0],'top');
   ($$('li.listButton')[0]).inject($$('.collapseContainer')[0],'top');
}

Note we removed the 'addEvent' line, and the corresponding "});" line at the end.

Thx Rob ;^_^



Here is the complete JS Tweaks for GreaseMonkey
for the Notes Screen Tweaks (not including the AES.js stuff yet)


FILE-NAME: [FastMail_Tweaks.user.js]

// ==UserScript==
// @name        FastMail Tweaks
// @namespace   https://www.fastmail.fm/tweaks
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// @match https://*.fastmail.fm/html/*
// ==/UserScript==


// Notepad screen:  move "Create new note" button to top, followed by "Sort by" 
// -- Updated by Bill n5bb (2011.05.02)
// -- Updated Grease Monkey ready by "robmueller" (2014.05.10)
if ($('notepad'))
{
   ($$('div.sortBy')[0]).inject($$('.collapseContainer')[0],'top');
   ($$('li.listButton')[0]).inject($$('.collapseContainer')[0],'top');
}

and it works.... it looks like I will have to create it new each and every time I get on to the PCs at my local Library for internet... because it wipes all changes when the PC is restarted (SmartShield)

or create a batch file to copy it
