- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -22/+40I'd like to get better source icons for the buttons. I used the icon pack from digg, but they aren't the best size or color for the application. I guess I could contact digg or wait till they read this comment :).
mthorn - LVsFINEST, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10You FF haters!!! You know who I'm talking about, the damn people giving everybody a thumbs down. I command you to give me a thumbs up!
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'll take a look.
- whitecricket, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5what's with all the nega- diggs
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Maybe we can all dig each other back up?
[Finding Nemo] "Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming!"[/Finding Nemo] - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Could you flip whatever minor bits need to be flipped to let this install in Flock?
- mechaboy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8I got the exact same thing on multiple attempts. I'm using version 1.5.01 and I've already allowed your site.
- shmully, on 11/08/2007, -0/+0like it - hope that it enhances my Digging experience
- Rabbit9, on 01/22/2008, -0/+0Doesn't work with Netscape. That would be a nice upgrade. Please. :-)
- eug2k, on 10/12/2007, -18/+18I'm willing to bet its all one guy digging down all the comments. If you really have no life you could sit there opening up a bunch of digg accounts just to ***** with someone for making a great firefox extension. Nice job on the extension man.
- Rabbit9, on 01/22/2008, -0/+0Doesn't work with Netscape. That would be a nice upgrade. Please. :-)
- TerryChen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Agree. If there is an option to be able to hide menu that would be great! Personally, I prefer button. :)
- sremick, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5I want a Firefox extension that will remove all dupes from Digg so I can just see the new stuff and not the stuff posted 10 times in the last 48 hours.
At which point, one could probably get through reading the new Diggs in a few minutes and get back to real work more quickly. - mechaboy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5I restarted Firefox and tried again and it worked this time for whatever reason. I had already tried this once to no avail. Perhaps it was the most recent patch? Either way I'm glad to have it aboard. =)
- Lemi4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To Aculeus: cool extension, I've downloaded and installed it.
A couple of suggestions though: have you looked at the del.icio.us extension? It also has a menu, but you can hide it from the extension's options. There's also a menu item that takes me to my del.icio.us home page, etc. Lots of good ideas there that can be applied to the Digg This! extension.
But then again, if I'm not mistaken the del.icio.us extension was developed in-house. Maybe the Digg people can help you out?
And btw, are you going to update your extension's home page at addons.mozilla.org, or do you plan to just post updates at your own site? - Veretax, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5I suspect that what has really been happening is that the article in question was a dup, and when one person points it out the modding down wave begins.
- creamy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I usually middle-click the '.. comments' link. It helps, a bit.
- registereduserg, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5installed today ! thank you ! very handy. running 2.0 beta 1 and installed without using nightly tester tools.
Alt + D ?
heck,i've got Webkey shortcut set for Digg using that,lol. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1OK, color me stupid. I just have to ask: WHY would somebody make a bot to go through and dig everybody down? That doesn't affect the story, does it? So you have a story still pushed to the top, and comments all dug down underneath it... what am I missing?
- NeilM, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6Very nice :)
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -11/+10Updated.
Changlog
--------
0.1.1b
: Fixed - Hijacked Alt+D, now uses Alt+!
Based on the excellent feedback from here I will make an update in the next few days that will show if an article has already been dugg and allow you to digg it instead of submit it. - etruscan, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6What a useful thread of grey. ;)
People aren't very tolerant around these parts, are they? - Teo76, on 10/12/2007, -12/+10This extension disables the ALT+D keyboard shortcut which I use in both Firefox and IE to move the focus to the browser's address bar, so I can type an URL.
This is a VERY BAD thing.
To the author of this extension: the extension is GREAT, but please don't hijack the ALT+D key combination which is VERY IMPORTANT for many users!!!! I'm uninstalling this great extension NOW, because of this! - Eliot99, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3GREAT work. Been waiting and looking for this.
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -11/+9Right, I forgot that change. I'll make it so you can hide the menu item.
- Sumyunguy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6This guys must not have looked very hard, there is a great little extension in the mozilla database that I prefer much more than the listed extension...
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1477/
install it and then you just right click on the page you would like to submit. Same functionality...new tab pops up. No need to click a menu. - TimDigg, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6What I would like to see is a FireFox Extension that will sort through my Favorite Places and find the links already posted on Digg and "Digg them" that way I can remove clutter from my favorite places...
Since I've signed up with Digg I've been going through my favorites to get rid of the excess stuff, but it's just too much really....
What I'm currently doing is taking each story in my favorites and then trying to submit it to see if it's there or not( if so I digg it and then delete the favorite)...this is a tedious process though - uownedge, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6Awesome work! I was thinking about trying something similar a while back, but I don't know a whole lot about developing FireFox extensions.
Thanks! - ziadoz, on 10/12/2007, -25/+23Great extension. Shame though because I think it will mean a rise in the fanboy articles we get here from certain users. Dugg for your hard work and effort though.
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5I saw it. It's not what I wanted, I wanted a button in the toolbar. This is just an alternate method to satisfy different preferences. Also I don't know if the right click tool grabs the title and summary for you.
PS - I upadated the extension to work with Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 (minor configuration issue). - JMJimmy, on 10/12/2007, -17/+15Fight the down diggers! Digg up! haha!
- joshualindquist, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5Looks really cool.. no go in 2.0b1 of course. Do any extensions work in 2.0b1?
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -26/+23Right, I should probably have called it a "button extension", but I figured no one would know what I meant. I looked for a while and couldn't wait any longer to have one.
- josephlucas, on 10/12/2007, -10/+7because everyone just finished reading this previous story before reading this one:
http://digg.com/tech_news/Bug_or_Conspiracy_Digg_users_go_CRAZY_modding_down_comments - Matsu, on 10/12/2007, -10/+7Perhaps use F6?
- twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -12/+9This is freaking awesome!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -25/+22WTF why is everyone being dugg down?
- lordthor, on 10/12/2007, -28/+25Hmm... That's very nice... I'm surprized by how useful and interesting this is. I'll definitely be using it in the near future. :)
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -22/+19If Dugg offered an API to find duppes I would gladly use it. So that if you clicked "Digg This" and the article existed it will just increase the Digg count. I'll figure out a way to do this. I could probably use AJAX to do a look ahead to see if the article is Dugg first. The problem is you can only tell if an article is dugg by the article title, not the url. I'll try my best.
I agree that this could lead to more dupes, so I'll figure out a way to prevent them. - idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -16/+13Wtf? Why is aucleus getting buried? He's posting relevant developing info.
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -25/+22@haxx: You can use Ctrl click to open in new tab.
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -10/+7@Teo76: Yep, my mistake. I'm fixing now.
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -26/+23Just checked, works fine in Firefox 2.0 Beta 1.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+12Very nice app - Dug
To make it better, can you make it search Digg to confirm the URL is not a dupe? - Corvillus, on 10/12/2007, -11/+8I've been using this bookmarklet I threw together at http://corvillus.com/2006/07/21/digg-this-bookmarklet/ for a while now, but I have since switched to this new extension. However, if you're not a Firefox user, this still works (inputs title, URL and selected text as body).
- Aculeus, on 10/12/2007, -23/+20@psilanthropist: I'm not sure what the requirements are to get it working for Bon Echo, but I'll take a look. I belive it should work out of the box, I probably just screwed up the config.
- psilanthropist, on 10/12/2007, -24/+21brilliant work. was looking for something likt this for a long time.
there is a toolbar for digging. but i hate toolbars and the buttons are so much better.
How about compatibilty for Bon Echo Beta 1 ?????? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -13/+10I must say.... FINALLY!
I've been waiting for this for a while. - LanceManning, on 10/12/2007, -13/+10I respect someone that does what you did.
- DeadlySin, on 10/12/2007, -12/+9So far I've been using the 'Digg This!' extention for FF which adds a small icon (and right click option) to add whichever page you're viewing to digg. It's been a great lightweight tool, but I might just start using this instead.
On a side note, some diggers need to grow up and stop voting down comments for no reason. -
