Work pages - click member to find book (Greasemonkey script)

FYI, since it's something that could very helpful for combiners (who use FF).

message 23 here

It's related to my frustration on it being very hard to get to member's books from the work page. I've previously suggested this as something that could be made easier here.

It's possible this script will work fine in Chrome as well, since it doesn't do a lot of fancy stuff.

I updated the script in a couple of ways. If you got it before, you should probably get it again.

Previously, I grabbed the book title rather than the work title. I found the work title in general was a better choice due. Unfortunately, I can't do this on a page where you have the book in your catalog because the only place I can grab the work title is from the "add to your library/wishlist" buttons. The work title only shows up there with as "Title by Author". So I put in some code to try to get that, but of course that will fail if you are not using English because your language won't say "by". So if you're not using the English site, you'll get the book title if you have the book in your catalog.

Updated the script again. It fixes a problem with legacy profiles. These are handled a bit differently and the old way screwed up the spaces between names.

FYI the new dates at the top are messing up this search. It appends the date at the end of the title when searching the member's catalog.

Thanks for the heads-up. I uploaded a version that I believe should fix it. Give it a whirl.

Just made a couple of other little improvements.

Question: Is there a way for this to work for the non-recent members section? It works fine in the area labeled "Members," but "All members who have the book" it doesn't. Did it ever? I have no idea if this is due to an LT change or how it was designed, but either way, is it possible to also work on the All members area?

I don't think it ever worked on pages where you have to click (show all members) to get the member list. I just bumped another bug that's related and maybe that's what you're thinking of. On pages with a short All Members list, it shows them all without having a (show all members) link and the script works there.

It's possible to make it work even with the (show all members) link, just a bit more complicated.

Hmm, okay then. :)

fyi it works on Opera too btw as a userscript.

>10 JerryMmm: I know, it was my husband who pointed out that it only worked in the top area lol, I'd never tried checking further than the recent ones. :P
