Description What's this?
This is a greasemonkey script for deviantArt Messaging Network. It adds the functionality to quickly access the main page /gallery /journal /latest deviation etc using a few short commands.


Ok but why do I need it?
I found it very useful, and I use it very often ever since I made it.
I can only suggest it to you, and you can uninstall it if you don't find it useful.


Ok I want to give it a try. How do I install it?
In order to use it, you must be using Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox , and you must have the Greasemonkey extension installed.
Next, click
INSTALL SCRIPT to install the (newer) script and a greaseMonkey script installation window will open. To install the script press the "Install" button.
And that's it. Read the commands section to learn how it's used.


Commands
Simply type the command into the chat's inputbox.

/da deviant - Opens a link to the deviant's deviantArt main page in a new window.
/dab deviant - Opens a form for buying a subscription for the deviant.
/daf deviant - Opens the deviant's list of watchers (friends).
/dag deviant - Opens the deviant's gallery in a new window.
/dah or /da? - Shows the script info and a list of all the commands. (Suggested by archaeobibliologist )
/daj deviant - Opens the journal page for the deviant in a new window.
/dal deviant - Opens the deviant's latest deviation in a new window.
/dam - Opens your message centre in a new window.
/dan deviant - Creates a new note to deviant(other than you) in a new window.
/dap deviant - Opens a new window with the deviant's store front (prints).
/dar - Opens a random deviant page in a new window. (Suggested by deviantARCADE )
/das search_string - Opens a new window and searches the deviantArt for the search_string.
/dat deviant - Opens a new window with the deviant's scraps (trash - not a good word but easy to memorize).


Example usage
/dal ArtBIT
-will open my latest deviation in a new window
/das short story by:ArtBIT in:flash
-will search the dA and open one result, my Short Story About Love

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. Cheers.

And it doesn't work in FF3. It breaks the chat, in fact.

foundsoundfunny [2007-05-02 06:56:41 +0000 UTC]

Awesome idea - I use shortcuts like this in firefox using bookmark keywords ('g bing' will search bing on google for instance), so I like your script plenty

Is it possible to have them open in new tabs though? From memory greasemonkey has a special function you can call that opens urls in new tabs - something to look into perhaps? I just figure opening new windows defeats the purpose of using firefox y'know?

ArtBIT In reply to foundsoundfunny [2007-05-02 15:55:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah bookmark keywords, I use them too, that's where I got the idea from
And the links are opened in a new tab, wrong choice of words, my bad, I will amend that soon...

Cheers mate

This is an awesome script! I've installed it and am playing with it... Very nice script!

There's only one thing I can think of that would make this script the absolute bomb. Script one more command, like /dhelp or something that pops up a little box in chat to remind you of all the shortcuts in this extension. A small help menu to remind me of all the different /d... commands I could use would be really handy!!

Just a suggestion... Very nice script. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so very much! Awesome suggestion. I'm sure I'll add the help to the script... I'm still kinda user unaware because I write the scripts for personal use, and share only the ones I tested thoroughly and that are pretty useful to a lot of people imho.

Thank you so much

No problem. If you ever need a beta tester, I'd be happy to help. I'm pretty insightful from time to time on adding user-friendliness to applications.
