Description
I don't want to read any of that other stuff. Can I just have an install button?SHINY INSTALL BUTTON!
Ooh, shiny....But what does it do?
Shiny indeed. This is a script that adds a collection of features for finding better art, and suggesting it to be featured across the site (plus some bonus features thrown in for fun)
I'll let you figure out exactly what it does, but it's all pretty awesome.
One thing I will mention is the "suggest DD" button on each image.
What it does is bring up a box for you to enter the text you want sent with the image, and creates a handy dropdown list of the appropriate GM's, making it super easy to suggest a DD
Ok, so does it need anything else to be installed?
You'll need greasemonkey for firefox, or tampermonkey for chrome
Awesome, where to I get it?
Just click here and then click the shiny green INSTALL button.
That code is pretty cool. Can I use parts of it in userscripts I make?
Yes. This is released under a share-alike license. What that means is that if you use part of my script, I request that you release your work share-alike so other people can build on bits of your work. This helps foster a better userscript community on dA meaning better userscripts for everyone!
Well, that all sounds pretty good to me!
Try phrasing that as a question. They have these crazy curly things that look like "?" on the end of them. You should try it some time
Update (15/2/2011): Updated to add an update alert box. Anyone on a version prior to v1.0.2 will not get alerts of the script updates and so will not get bug fixes or new features. If you have already installed this script, please re-install it
Update (10/7/2011): It has been brought to my attention that this doesn't work in chrome. Unfortunately, upon investigation into the matter the bugs that appear in chrome are not fixable. This is due to how chrome does persistent storage compared to how firefox does it. I may release a cut down version for chrome at a later date, but it will not be nearly as good.
Update (20/7/2011): A new plugin has been released for google chrome called tampermonkey . Now, this is important because it properly implements the greasemonkey API's to make this script work. If you have any problems, let me know and I'll try and fix them, but the future is bright on the chrome front

It's a great script but there's one bug: when I go to artist's gallery and want to browse through different categories, for example digital art > vector, the list closes and nothing happens, is there any way to fix that?

unfortunately that isn't something that's easy to fix without making other stuff appear broken. Because of how I have to break AJAX links to actually get any script to run at all stuff like that doesn't work (and as an interesting note, certain buttons like stats on a users page also jump down to that point because I'm forcing the link to be followed, rather then intercepted)
short of completely re-making those drop-downs on the fly (which is certainly possible on a theoretical level but a huge amount of work, given the number of possible catagories) there isn't really a way to fix them

Ive tried tampermonkey and yet this wont work for me in Chrome. Now every time im on da, a pop up about da Ultra comes up and i have to click ok, then cancel, and continue on with what i was doing. this may seem stupid, but its not just the homepage. every page that has to do with da, this comes up. i cant even look at deviations without it popping up every time~ i downloaded the tampermonkey and yet it still wont go away or function correctly! how do i uninstall dA ultra?

It sounds like you installed the userscript to chrome, rather then tampermonkey.
you need to go to the chrome extension list (chrome settings > extensions), uninstall dAUltra from there, and then re-install it to tampermonkey.

Just a question.. I've been in touch with you a bit previously, but now somehow the script isn't doing a whole lot. I notified you about Chrome difficulties, along with some other minor things. But now, I don't actually see much from the script all together anymore. There's no suggest dd button, nor do I see the change to the edit system it once gave. Is this due to updates or whats happening?
really really loved it, so missing these features already : )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's...odd.
Is the setting menu still showing up when you hover over your name?
If not, can you try re-installing the script?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aye, it's still showing. I even tried to enter the menu, to see that the script is still alive and running, but it appear to be.
(What I meant by the way was that, I can see the DD button on everyone's profile, but the whole 'Suggest a DD/has been suggested for a DD' isn't there anymore.)
I'll try to reinstall the script to see if it changes anything.

Oh.
When you're at an image, click on the title of it.
That sounds to me more like the AJAX remover isn't working properly :/

The dd features works once I removed the script and reinstalled it though.
A question (Sorry if I'm bothering you), but as there's no detailed list of what your script contains, I'm not 100% sure if the feature came from your script, or if it was an experiment (or along those lines) from dA. But when one wanted to edit an image, there was a whole different interface available previously. If that was from you it's no longer working for me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That was an experiment on dA's end (and the joy of being a beta tester 
It was using the stash interface to edit deviations
as for the features of dAUltra, in the order they're in the script:
Update alerts
Settings
Large thumbs
DD Tab
Group message log links
Something else do do with groups (I'm not 100% sure what it does :/)
Suggest DD's (which is the bulk of the script, at 450 lines. the next largest is the settings box at 220)
Ajax foiler (making the # links go directly to the actual image page)
Format buttons
Share on tumblr button (though I must confess that one doesn't work since dA added it officially)
show which gallery a DD came from on the DD's page
setup stuff
First run setup stuff.
All of that in a grand total of 1232 lines of javascript (and a little bit of HTML and a bit of CSS)
That help?

Ah, figures. Thank you so much for clearing out what's included in your script.
I just experienced the issue of 'Suggest for dd' etc not working. So I tried to browse other deviations, and after a while it randomly was working again : /

Removing the script and reinstalling it worked. However, I guess it's not meant this way.
Happy it solved it, though : )

I heard from several people that they're being send to me with APN Photography DD suggestions and that it is because of this extension. Could you please check if that is indeed the case? It's rather annoying since I haven't been a CV since December 1st
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Might want to poke *stafflist , since that's where I pull a list of staff from
I have, however, hard-coded something to remove you from the list. If you know of any other ex-CV's who are still listed, let me know
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I also poked *stafflist but it seems to be deserted!
Stafflist also isn't an official list by the way. The up to date list should be at #communityrelations ( here ) and/or FAQ #18: Who selects the Daily Deviation and how is it chosen?
Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
While I know stafflist isn't official, it is the best formatted for my purposes

I hope someone wakes up and takes the time to keep it up to date again, since apparently a lot of people are checking that page

I've downloaded tampermonkey AND dAUltra, but whenever I press save it keeps coming back.
Does the fact that I installed dAUltra before tampermonkey affect anything?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. You have to install tampermonkey first, or it installs to the default chrome version of greasemonkey which is missing critical features.
Unistall dAUltra from the chrome extension list, then re-install it to tampermonkey.

Okay, I've got it to work now. Thanks for the help, it's a very useful extension, although deviation thumbnails make the page run a lot slower for me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Large thumbnails do take a lot longer to load...which is why I made it optional
Personally, I have that off, since my internet is suuuuppppeeeerrrr slow

Yeah, me too.

It keeps saying that I have to save my setting, even though I keep saving them. I've uninstalled and installed Tampermonkey, but it's still doing the same thing. Any suggestions? <_<

Nvm, I got it to work after some trial and error

Congrats on the DD!
I installed it.

I downloaded it and whenever I refresh/go to a different page it tells me that I haven't saved my settings, when I have about 300 times. :l

Do you have tampermonkey installed?

I had to reinstall it, thanks anyway. Also, how do you go back and change the settings? trying to fiddle with the thumbnail size.

Wonderful! Thanks for making this, and who brought it to attention as a DD. I love all the features, it's really useful and makes things easier. I specially love the codes available on the comment box with just one click. I installed it without problem and it's working fine

Make sure you have tampermonkey installed, then uninstall the script from chrome's extension list, and re-install it.
