I have been working on SGv2+ since the beta started, but because of work related stuff, I kinda stopped pushing it forward. Now I am able to bring it back and I'd like to see if anyone in the community is experienced with Typescript/Javascript/CSS/HTML to help.

This time around, I'll be focusing on a modular design, each function will be contained in its own file and will be curated as I deem fit.

I'll set up my github account with the proper code in the weekend, all files will contain a mix of Javascript/Typescript code and are not presently suitable for end user, sorry.

The stuff I have that is updated to work with SGv2 includes:

  • Fixed navbar
  • Gridview

Things that could be part of SGv2+:

  • Scrolling Sidebar
  • Shorten comments
  • Endless Scroll
  • Hide Featured Giveaway
  • Put images in place
  • Live preview

And many more, nothing is set on stone, and those were the functions that I had working while the beta was going on. Some might be straighforward to make it work.

Last but not least, check the attachment image for Gridview + Fixed Navbar.

EDIT

Master branch is updated with the current code Github

EDIT (05/02/2015)

Functionality is coming together nicely, I have appended another screenshot to the post.

EDIT (06/02/2015)

What is currently working on SG++ Alpha is:

  • Scrolling Sidebar
  • Fixed Navbar (always on top)
  • Check if entry/winner has commented on giveaway
  • Comment and Enter (needs some tweak)
  • Endless Scroll (I still have to merge from madjoki)

EDIT (14/02/2015)

  • Beta launches

EDIT (16/02/2015)

Changelog 0.2.3 and 0.2.4

  • Fixed mixed errors;
  • Added User Hover Info, if enabled, after an user link is hovered for 1.5s a popup should appear with the info.

Known Issues:

  • User Hover Info report button doesn't work.

EDIT (27/02/2015)

Changelog 0.2.5

  • Allows users to forget a topic;
  • Fixes suspensions/report on User hover;
  • Updated Gridview to add more info/allow the hide giveaway to work;
  • Allows user to hide all read comments;
  • Other minor fixes.

EDIT (28/03/2015)

Changelog 0.3.0

  • Revamps settings;
  • Popup Giveaway added;
  • User Tagging added;
  • Some fixes;

Hey, I have some experience with userscripts, and can help. For example, see my recent port of a thank hiding script to v2

Features I'm most interested in:

  • Hiding entered giveaways
  • One click filtering
  • Grid view
  • Replacing featured giveaway with forum
  • Reply notification (unless it's somewhere on SG that I can't find)

As it's been answered in a large number of threads, the replies page is only temporarily missing.

A couple of pages are disabled at the moment until they're further optimized, and we'll try to bring them back soon. Most noticeably, the page listing replies to your comments and posts.

Could you include the old Game Filter or some importer to put that game filter into the new built-in filtering? I have 2329 games & DLCs in my filter, it would be neat if I didn't have to add them manually T_T

I am not sure it is possible, the current filter uses an own package-id that only exists on SG, I can't say for sure what SG+ used, but if I remember correctly, it was checking the name of stuff to hide.

Same here, my list of filtered games is enormous, it would be an incredible pain in my butt to have to add the all over again.

If you are still taking suggestions - please also bring highlighting new comments! It was soooo convenient!
And if you want to choose most wanted features - you can make another tread, where people (or yourself) would post only suggestions or "+1" under someone else suggestions.

Now, in SG2, we have convenience of polls instead of +1'ing. :) I support the idea of "urgent" and most wanted features and suggestions forum thread.

One question: is there an option to hide giveaways that you entered? On SG+ I was able to do that, but here I can't find it.

SGv2 alone doesn't have the opinion to hide giveaways you entered... SGv2+ is not feature complete yet and I am not in position to share a proper beta until the settings are worked out.

Hey JellyChelsea, I have created a tampermonkey script that will hide the giveaways that you have already entered into. I haven't tested it in greasemonkey but it should work.

Awesome work man!

Pretty sad, that after all this time to get SGv2 released, the responsible person/s did not manage to include many of the useful features of these addons.

Not everything that SG+ had was really needed for the core set of functionality of SGv2.

Think, permalink is something useful for linking comments, however endless scroll would just bring more load to the server. So it is safe to assume why CG didn't include them all.

Will this be made as an extension for browser or again will be installed as plain javascript? i would love to help with it too ( i see you use jQuery ) but i have exams :/

I'd rather bundle it as browser extensions, while on beta, I did with chrome (.crx package), that has a plain advantage over a script that calls a remote script.

How do I actually install this from GitHub using tampermonkey. I tried to install it myself and it doesn't do anything.

Thanks for doing this =)

Feature request:

Make the submit button accessible with TAB and activateable (?) with SPACE

Suggestion:

Use more cached variables instead of repeatedly casting them to JQuery objects, because $(...) can be "expensive".

For example I've seen you casting $(this) and $(gridview_extra) multiple times in the script.

I don't have experience with browser extension, but maybe I can help optimize the JS part.
