I'm having some problems with new permissions in Firefox 56 (Windows 7 x64 if that matters).
Whenever I change some permissions in settings popup, a new tab is opened with the text: "Some browsers require an additional user interaction to trigger the permissions dialog. Please click on the button below to proceed." and a button. Clicking on that button does nothing.
I checked the console and no errors or warnings are logged. In the other tab, the one with the settings popup, the save button's text changes to "Saving..." and can't do anything but closing the popup.
As I read, this should be working because other users have no problems, so it may have something to do with this version of Firefox (last one before webextensions were mandatory). Tell me if I can do anything to debug the problem.

Looks like versions 56-61 don't allow triggering the dialog from an options page without a setting configured: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/permissions I'll see if I can fix it in the next version.
Comment has been collapsed.
I just tested on Firefox 56 and the permissions are working fine for me. Maybe you blocked something on your version? Try checking the background page console (you need to go to about:debugging#addons, enable debugging and click "Debug" on the ESGST add-on).
Comment has been collapsed.
I did what you said but no errors are showing. I disabled every other addon, just in case, but didn't work either.
It looks like the 'click' event in not being registered on the button. I tried to force a click event via javascript in the console and then I got this error: "'permissions.request may only be called from a user input handler", so the click event is indeed attached to the button but not being triggered when I click on the button with the mouse. Really weird...
Anything else I can test?
Comment has been collapsed.
Can you try the browser console or the extension console? Firefox sometimes does not output certain errors to some consoles.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, sorry for the late response!
Yes, I've been looking into this. I'm not an expert in webextensions, but I managed to create a temporary addon in about:debugging, so I could make some logs to detect where it was failing.
Last message I said that the browser was not listening to the click event but I was wrong. There's nothing wrong with that, the click event launches, the variable 'permissions' is correct too (e.g: {"permissions":[],"origins":["://.gsrafael01.me/*"]}), but the promise browser.permissions.request is not resolved and remains in pending state (Promise { <state>: "pending" }), so the callback (sendMessage 'permissions_request_firefox_resolve') is never called.
When i click on the button, nothing happens, no dialog popup is displayed asking for any permissions, no errors are logged, anything. It just silently fails. I guess this might be the reason why the promise is not fullfiled. I disabled all other addons and checked my browser options, everything seems to be ok, no blocking permissions. I don't know why that happens but I'm almost sure it's not ESGST's fault.
I'll keep on investigating this issue, and will inform you if I get into something. If you have any ideas why this might be happening or any check ups I can do, please tell me.

Could it be that your firefox is too old and doesn't have the api gsrafael01 is using ?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think so. I'm using version 56.0b9 and permissions api is compatible since version 55
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/permissions
Comment has been collapsed.
Took a look at the page and saw some caveats about the api on v55.0, but as you are on a beta of v56 those probably do not apply in your case.
You could create a new profile on firefox and install just ESGST to rule out interference by any addon or setting on your current profile.
(On a curiosity note, Why use the beta 9 instead of the release version of v56?)
Comment has been collapsed.
Long story: the reason I was using beta9 is because I used that channel to auto update but when Mozilla made webextensions mandatory in v57, I stopped auto-updating, so I was stuck with that version. I checked Mozilla's FTP (https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/) and that beta version was the last one. Or at least I thought so... When you said why I used this beta, I checked again and that beta version is listed last but then I saw v56.0.2 with newer timestamps. Damn! I installed that version inmediately and now everything is working as expected. Dialog is launched and permissions are applied correctly.
TLDR: I'm an idiot. Listed last doesn't mean newer. Version 56 is working, but not in beta. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Thanks for your help to both of you.

Glad it's working now :)

How do I hide all DLCs from giveaway listings?
This settings don't work https://i.imgur.com/pm0p4Rt.jpg
Comment has been collapsed.
Use OR instead of AND. The way you have it sep up, only giveaways that have more than 1 chance AND have been entered AND are for a wishlisted game AND are for a DLC will be hidden.
Comment has been collapsed.
I set up a filter the same as you have it in the image and it seems to work for me.
It displays all GAs where the chance >= 1, the GA is not already entered, the GA is not for a wishlisted game, and it is not for a DLC.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's really AND, I got confused. I don't know why it's not hiding DLCs for you. When did this start happening? Or is this the first time you're using the feature?
Comment has been collapsed.
I would say his settings are right. Are you sure about OR instead of AND?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I got confused, but looks like what he wants is really AND.

Could the problem be the usage of basic and advanced filters or that basic filter for chance needs an upper limit to work?
Comment has been collapsed.
There is indeed a bug with basic + advanced usage at the moment (https://github.com/gsrafael01/ESGST/issues/1333), but I don't know if this could be related. If that's the case, it should be fixed in the next version.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure why your filter settings aren't working but you can use steamgifts integrated filters in combination with your ESGST filters. Just use https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?dlc=false and all dlcs should be filtered. More info here.

hi, first off congrats on getting your script accepted as addons on the main browsers i'm sure that is an achievement
would be interested in knowing what has become of the (very useful) "Have/Wan't Checker" * feature in ST is being held since the steam wish-list change or api update (i'd presume) - this change occurred i think around the time the wish-list format changed dec 2018? or even before that ... not sure anymore
how it used to work: compared the games in the want section of the trade thread + games on the users wish-list in steam
(listing the game names and matching it up with your have list)
how it works now: compares the games in the want section of the trade thread + games on the users wish-list in steam
(only listing them as game ID's therefore incapable of matching them to your have list) ²
² the latter of which would cause you to have 0 matchups unless you had exported/copy-pasted and listed all of your "have games" as ID's (like "638970" instead of yakuza 0) which is a unfortunate, as its clearly still mostly functional just the method sorta changed
edit: before even posting this just noticed the feature isn't listed anymore in ESGST feature list above so "did it dieded?"
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll have to look into it. The feature list is very outdated, so no, the feature didn't die.

After yesterday did not shown some of nearest giveaways. it looks like all sorted as if on the contrary, from 6 hours to 0. i press discard all new, not helps. i found giveaway sorter, turned off - seem like all returns to ok. then turns it on and finally found button selector.
So, question is why default is not "End Time - Ascending"?!

Sorry, I don't understand this at all. Can you illustrate?

1 - by default -
2 - with end time ascending -
i think 2 is option which must be set as default. with this it be looks like was in previous versions,

If you haven't already activated you need to activate giveaway filters, multiple filters and entered. After that you should see the filters and can hide all joined aka entered giveaways.

Apologies in advance if I've got something silly kerfluxed on my end, which is probably the case. Somewhere over the last month, the names of winners on my Created page stopped populating. The old ones are still there, but the new ones don't show up. Is this just me?

Other users have reported this, but I was never able to reproduce it. I did push a possible fix for it a while ago (https://github.com/gsrafael01/ESGST/issues/938), which the users in that issue reported that worked, but there still appears to be an issue with multiple-copy giveaways (https://github.com/gsrafael01/ESGST/issues/1192).

Weird. This happened on both my home and work machines with identical timing and effects. Right away it occurs to me that they are both Win7 machines. Maybe I'll upgrade the office machine to Win10 and see if it changes - high time I did that anyway.

Bug Report
When using the "Extract all giveaways (specify parameters)" button, it extracts backwards, not forwards.
Example: Cart 1266 and using this button extracts a list with 1266 at the top (as expected), and then 1265, 1264, 1263, etc etc etc (I imagine down to cart 0), but not 1267. As far as I know, this problem just recently started occurring.
Button settings:
Open Extractor
Y--Only extract from the current giveaway onward.
Y--Flush the cache if it is older than hours [I have noticed the problem when it was set to 1, 2, and 4 hours]
N--Ignore discussion comments when extracting giveaways.
N--Ignore giveaway comments when extracting giveaways.Comment has been collapsed.
The problem is that ESGST can't know which link is next and which is previous because they are only named cart ####.

ESGST indirectly helped me verify that my new Steam group created in April wasn't sync'd/created in SG yet until cg fixed an issue this month. I just filed a bug on github related to that scenario and also put in an enhancement request that would help me review & export group user stats. I love ESGST and am grateful that it helps me with some aspects of group management!
EDIT: Just saw your Patreon page, so I'll pledge a bit there. Also renamed & updated my Github info to match my SG/Steam profile.

I've been using GA extractor on the huge community train (now over), and it had been working, but about 2 days ago it stopped working correctly. Now, when I try to extract the GAs from this page, it extracts over 1300 GAs and then at some point just hangs forever, never finishing. I see no errors in the console. I am wondering if others are having this same issue? If I press the "Cancel" button, it appears to see 1325 of the supposedly 1326 GAs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Someone reported that the extension completely stopped working for them after filtering that train (https://github.com/gsrafael01/ESGST/issues/1366). How many giveaways did the train have 4 days ago? It could be a case of the extension not being able to handle that much data. I wonder if it would work with disabling the cache, but there's no way for you to test that. I'll see if I can find some time to test it (takes sooo long :P).
Comment has been collapsed.
There is a cache and you can use custom filters but you can no longer simply hide the description with ESGST. If that's not enough for you there's the a-esgst userscript

I would like to use the library checker, but I need to enter steam api. I found my web api, but I am not familiar with this, is there any security issue by providing the steam api or is it like login into steamgifts with steam?

The only security issue is if you share your API key with someone.
Comment has been collapsed.
question: what info you can find in a Steam API key?
(thanks a ton, rafael)
Comment has been collapsed.
It's mostly used for retrieving stats like owned games, playtimes, achievements, friends list, bans, etc (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Web_API), but it can also be used to retrieve your trading history and deny / cancel your trades (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Web_API/IEconService). Because of that, someone could use it to scam you (https://dmarket.com/blog/steam-api-key-scam/).
If you use your Steam API key on ESGST (or on any other place, for that matter), it's wise to re-generate it every once in a while, because there are a few vulnerabilities that I can think of:
- If you've installed a malicious extension that can watch your browser requests, it could intercept requests to the Steam API and retrieve your key.
- ESGST stores your Steam API key in the userscript / extension storage, which is located in your computer, so if someone hacks your computer and they know what to look for, they could retrieve your key.
- When you backup your ESGST data to the cloud services offered (Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive), your Steam API key is also backed up, so if someone hacks your cloud account and they know what to look for, they could retrieve your key.
But those vulnerabilities aren't specific to ESGST, so it's ultimately the user's responsibility to prevent them from happening.

aren't specific to ESGST, so it's ultimately the user's responsibility
true. but also very very fair :D
even more than expected, thanks again.
i do backup to Google (very -tad too much- google-centric, here) and frankly feeling safe, dealing with ESGST.
that said, TIL. i'll re-generate that multiple-years-old API key of mine 'cause ...why not :D

I've detailed more about what a Steam API key does in my response to icaio above. If you're concerned about security, make sure to re-generate your API key every once in a while.

Heads Up Regarding Next Update: Avatar Popout, Giveaway Countries Loader, Giveaway Groups Loader
Avatar Popout, Giveaway Countries Loader and Giveaway Groups Loader will be removed and consolidated into a new feature called Content Loader in the next update (https://github.com/gsrafael01/ESGST/issues/1268). If you use any (or all) of the 3 features above, Content Loader will be automatically enabled for you and your settings will be carried over, so you shouldn't have to do anything to continue using the functionality of those features, but I just thought I should give a heads up, in case something goes wrong and your settings aren't carried over.

Still appears for me, can you check the console and your settings?

Two items (FF, up-to-date):
1) When I go to turn 2.27.3 on, it says ! This feature conflicts with 2.29.3 Highlight the giveaway.. While that feature is enabled, this feature cannot be enabled. However, 2.29.3 doesn't exist...
It still highlights wishlist gibs in the main page, but it no longer highlights the info bar on the giveaway's page.
2) When i go to a page with comments, if automatically jumps to the bottom of the page, which is very annoying. What setting do I change to not have it autojump to the bottom of a page?
3) Saving comments is again messed up for me. They spin forever and never "take". :(
As always, thank you very much for this script!
Comment has been collapsed.
2 will be fixed in the next version, it's a result of https://github.com/gsrafael01/ESGST/issues/1262. Workaround: enable Reply Box On Top until the next version, so that it jumps only to below the OP, which should reduce the annoyance.
Please check the console log for 3. And do you block third-party cookies? Try with the block disabled.

My apologies for what is probably a very simple question...
How does 1 reply to the initial post in a thread when using ESGST?
For example to post some links for the Master Bundle thread that haven't been added yet.
I can reply to all comments as I'm doing to yours; however I don't see a reply option under the initial post?
Perhaps I have something mis-configured?
I'm using 8.3.17 of the extension version & I haven't changed my settings since I joined SG & immediately added the extension & spent the hours it took to configure it the way I wanted it. Though I don't believe I've ever seen a reply button on the first post.
Just to be clear I'm asking how to reply to the thread itself as opposed to replying to a comment already in the thread like I'm doing now.
Thanks to anyone who could clarify this for me! I'm guessing i'm just missing something obvious... :)

Isn't there a reply box at the end of the page for you?

Sorry for the time waste I already figured this one out. I should have deleted it. My reply box is in a different location due to my ESGST setup. It was a simple mistake on my part in not noticing how I set it up with endless scrolling IIRC. I don't recall 100%.
Thanks for the input though, 🙂

Enhanced SteamGifts & SteamTrades (ESGST)
An extension / userscript that adds some cool features to SteamGifts and SteamTrades.
If you find any bugs or have any feature requests, please file an issue here.
Compatibility
Tested and confirmed as working:
Not tested but should be working:
Not supported:
Installation
There are two different ways to use ESGST: extension or userscript. You can choose which one you want to use, but the extension is a lot faster and has a better peformance than the userscript, so I recommend it, although there is no major difference between them, except for a few options that are only available in the extension because of limitations in the userscript.
Option 1 - Extension
It should be possible to install the extension in any Chromium-based browser from the Chrome store (such as Opera, Vivaldi, etc...), any Firefox-based browser from the Firefox store (such as Waterfox, etc...), and any browser that uses the Phoebus system from the Pale Moon store (such as Basilik, etc...).
You can also use the extension on Android through Firefox for Android, but some features might not work or not be optimized enough for mobile.
Option 2 - Userscript
To install the userscript, you must install Violentmonkey, Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey or some other userscript manager first. Then click here and you should be prompted to install it. I recommend Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey, because the userscript uses the GM_addValueChangeListener API to communicate changes in the storage between tabs, and that API is not available on Greasemonkey, so a polyfill is used for Greasemonkey, which is not very effective and can affect the performance.
You can also use the userscript on Android through Firefox with Violentmonkey or USI, but some features might not work or not be optimized enough for mobile.
Beta Versions
The latest beta version for both the extension and the userscript is always available in the latest pre-release in the releases page.
