Fimfiction Advanced 4.7.1 - The Lost Update · 10:02pm Sep 10th, 2024
Update: Released 1.7.2 to fix a syntax error in the last update. Whoops!
Wait, what's that? "What happened to 4.7.0"? Shhhh-shhhhhh don't think about it.
Fimfiction Advanced 4.7.1 has just been released!
Among the changes in this version is a couple bug fixes for it occasionally not applying to the page. This also introduces the new (experimental) column layout for the feed pages to make content easier to sift through. It's still very much an experimental feature, however, so use it at your own risk.
The second new feature, based on a request in the #site-help-and-dev channel on discord:
Fimfiction Advanced will now insert a confirmation dialogue when publishing/unpublishing chapters to prevent misclicks.
Changelog:
- Added option to sort the feed into columns similar to tweetdeck
- Switched to use @match instead of @include (fixes some cases where the script doesn't get applied)
- Fixed the scrollbar on the emoji selector
- Added safety net to prevent accidentally publishing/unpublishing a chapter
Now I return to my hibernation once more.
Script download pages:
thank you so much for letting us know!!
you are a blessing!
Now do I have to download something else, or would it have automatically updated somehow?
Either way, nice.

If you have it already I believe it will update automatically. Violentmonkey does have a button in it's manage page at the top left to force it to check for updates.
If you need to check what version you're running, it's displayed in the site footer.
Found a bug that broke the script for me in Firefox+Violentmonkey: the order of the two lines in the initial userscript section is wrong, erroring out with
SyntaxError: expected expression, got keyword 'const'
Switching them around so the
const
value comes first fixes the script.5803454
Hey, thanks!
That worked (the button).

I think I was having a problem with the custom backgrounds loading, and I may have done what you say you did to fix it, because it's working now.
Don't know if it was me or dumb luck.

Uuuh git why...
Okay I'll check and fix it when I'm at my computer.

Fixed. You can install 1.7.2 now. Sorry about that

Hey, no problem. I'll check it out tonight.

Yep, everything is fixed now.
Thanks again for all that you do with this; I honestly can't go back to regular Fimfiction at this point.
I just installed this on my tablet, in Firefox. It seems to work fine, but I still can't find the gorram extra emojis. I have the "Pony," "DeviantArt," & "Round Stables" Pony Packs. Is there a trick to finding them? Also, is "Chapter Ponies" new? What the heck is it? I love having a happy little Lyra bouncing around my screen when I'm on my laptop.
While I'm here, would you recommend Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey for DuckDuckGo browser?
Lastly, if you can get the emoji expansion packs to work, prove it by including a Luna emoji in your reply.
Edit: Ha, I figured out how to use the Interactive Pony on my tablet.

Thank goodness randomly coming back here to see if Okie took any action when I informed him of the update paid off big time.
Don't know if it was switching over to Violentmonkey instead of Tampermonkey (per your suggestion to Okie), or downloaded the files directly from your GitHub instead of the links from DeviantArt (something I'd never tried before) but oh my gosh, I can do this now:orig06.deviantart.net/cfa6/f/2013/001/b/5/clapping_pony_icon___princess_luna_by_taritoons-d5prurt.gif
I am genuinely extremely happy that I finally got this to work.
Quick update: DuckDuckGo doesn't allow browser extensions, but Firefox does! sollace.github.io/emoticons/extended/yeah.png
It took some work, and the links from that Github page, but it works!! orig02.deviantart.net/6711/f/2012/365/e/0/clapping_pony_icon___queen_chrysalis_by_taritoons-d5pshyl.gif
Yay, got it working! Not sure why it took 3 re installs but, WHATEVER
