Topic: [BETA] BPIP Extension - user info add-on / extension for Firefox, Chrome, et al - page 10. (Read 8407 times)

Seems that BPIP extension on my Firefox got updated recently. I just want to appreciate what you're doing - BPIP is one of the best community projects. And now with integration of Loyce.club and later Ninjastic.space it becomes even better. And big thanks for adding user-friendly way to quote from locked topics. This thing was really needed.

Thanks for the opportunity to work with you two.

People, feel free to suggest more features (even missing ones from the website) and PM me.

A new test version is available: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53812980

TryNinja implemented some cool features using Ninjastic.space APIs.

Details here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53812982

Great idea, but I would prefer that there was no pop-up text, but the most common check mark [✔️].



Done! Just for such a case, I had 1 merit in reserve ^{TheBeardedBaby correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the merit source?}

As far now the extension is working smooth to me. There is no doubt that it is giving us a new dimension. I am very satisfied by using it. Previously I need to visit bpip, loycev.clab site manually but now I can manage all things during browsing.

btw I have something to suggest, about the feedback quote link copy. In this version when I click on the trust/feedback link copy/quote icon, can not see any confirmation that the link is copied or not. So what will if we can see a pop up text there that ''link copied'' or something like that?

I want to confirm that this is working like a charm. Thank you very much for this wonderful workaround. It's amazing. Out of smerit for a long time now, I hope someone will send from me stay safe all of you guys (and girls)!

Correct, I have already skipped that ''Hide user's "airdropped" merits: setting. In the future, if I try I will follow your suggestions here.

btw custom themes are also beautiful. I am looking for more cool themes that bring the forum main structure also will protect our eyes much.

Keep in mind that this setting hides forum's "Merit: NNNN", so it probably makes sense to use it only together with the "Show earned merits" setting, otherwise you would just not see any merits in user info.

Probably not the best wording there, since it hides the merit number even if the user doesn't actually have any airdropped merits. Will tweak it in some future version.


Thanks. I saw that but didn't dare to try it or to suggest to anyone.

Oh, I got it now. I also think about it. but was not sure. Also, one thing that came to my mind that, it could be also when theymos send some merits for any contest,(example: 10th-anniversary contest), also merits from some merit giveaway thread on beginner sections, etc. Now it's clear to me. Thank you.

Airdropped Merit is what all users with a rank above Jr. Member received when theymos introduced the Merit system, in order to keep their current rank. I received 1000 at that time, LoyceMobile got none.

So full add on support for Android Firefox is in the pipeline. However, you can use any add on you like right now on Android with a bit of a workaround.

First of all, you need to download Firefox Nightly, which is essentially the alpha developer version.
Direct link: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/channel/desktop/
Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fenix

You then need to go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/, click "Log in to view your collections", create an account, and then create a new collection with a unique name. Search for all the add ons you want to use, and add them to your collection, BPIP included. Make a note of the unique name you gave the collection, and the 8 digit number in the URL.

Open your Firefox Nightly app, go to settings, scroll to the bottom and select "About Firefox Nightly", and tap the Firefox logo five times until you get a pop up saying "Debug menu enabled".
Go back to settings, scroll down to "Advanced" and select "Custom Add-on Collection".
Enter the 8 digit number from above in the "Collection owner (User ID)" field, and the name you gave your collection in the "Collection Name" field, and hit OK.
The app will apply the changes and then shut down.
Relaunch the app, go to add ons, and you will see all the add ons from your collection listed. Tap the plus sign next to each one to install.

I can confirm that the BPIP extension works just fine using the above steps.

Great, I got it now. And already changed/activated some more features. It's really amazing. And one more thing I want to know about the feature ''Hide user's "airdropped" merits:'' Which merits actually will be counted as airdropped merits? I could not get it correctly.

Edit: Thank you for clarifying it to me.

Some of the settings are off by default. You can check the settings by clicking on the extension icon in the toolbar - in Chrome you may need to click the little puzzle-piece-shaped icon and then the blue "i" in a circle.

This is my first time using this BPIP Extention. I know about it before but did not try to use it. Today I install the latest version. It's working smoothly and there is no doubt that those who are behind of this BPIP Extention are done a lot of hard works to build it. Thanks to them.

Btw what I have seen in some posts with the screenshot by bpip extension user, I can see there If I visit someone profile then I can see his/her bpip rank, DT level, etc. I can not see it now. I have missed something to try the latest version? I have downloaded it from here >

I don't think it's supported in the latest version of Firefox on Android. It supports only 11 extensions total and Greasemonkey is not among them:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/search/?promoted=recommended&sort=random&type=extension

At any rate, Mozilla seems to be very intent to kill Firefox if you look at the latest Play Store reviews so I won't be putting too much effort into it. Once the dust settles and there is a clear path to make the extension work in the long run - maybe.

I've been using the "copy quote to clip board" a few times already.  The first couple of times, the page needed reloading, but then it finds its stride and we're in business.

Did you notice this (just example):




Nice stuff when you want to quote someone's feedback. no more need for screenshots, upload etc... it makes things pretty easy
I still waiting for reporter badge  that might be interesting for sure.

Amazing team work on BPIP extension!

I have been testing it for some time and I tried quoting locked posts several times and it worked great, and extension will be even better after adding all Ninjastic features.

Have you thought about making a Greasemonkey script for Firefox Android? That still seems to be supported, and an extension like BPIP that changes the website layout like can be ported to it.

Android support is a bit of an issue and unfortunately that's not something I can fix. A couple of months ago Firefox removed support for most extensions, leaving only a handful that they approve. Tor Browser seems to be going the same route. Chrome on Android never supported extensions.

Aternatives: Kiwi Browser (Chromium-based) supports extensions and perhaps you can install older versions of Firefox or Tor Browser via F-Droid but that might become a security issue in the long run.
