Can you see which post got scrapped?
Anything in your unedited post history gets processed.
Or easier (and probably the same data): https://ninjastic.space/search?author=Pmalek&content=showall
It looks like you didn't wait long enough, scraping 100 pages takes about half an hour. Unlike my topic details, I didn't implement a place holder while processing data.

Note that posting the same link again on another board triggers a new update.

Bonus link with topic details: https://loyce.club/archive/details/topic_4265795.html



I've upgraded the format from "http" to "https".

@LoyceV
Is there a way for you to find out from which thread the link got scrapped from?

I tried it out a few days ago in the Croatian local forum. I wanted to scrape this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/zbirni-topic-za-davanje-merita-za-kvalitetne-postove-i-za-korisne-informacije-4265795
My post with the link was on page 100. I waited for quite a long time but your scrapper didn't catch it (so I think). After that I made a second post and added the link in a new thread in the Archival sub-board. That one seemed to work, or it was maybe the the one I initially posted in the Croatian local, but it needed more time.

Can you see which post got scrapped?

You're posting the wrong link, it should be http://loyce.club/showall/4720640.html !
I haven't tested this in a long time, but it should still work. Wait a few minutes before testing the link.

If it still works: posting a link like this doesn't have to be in this thread only, any topic will do.

Thank you, can I give one suggestion, please add a link to : [overview] LoyceV's useful data on Bitcointalk somewhere on the loyce.club website? I have bookmarked it but it will be much easier for everyone to link it there. Smiley

In case there are still people who love scrolling, hate clicking, and don't yet know that I made this:
All posts in the Wall Observer thread in the past 1h, 24h and 7d
All posts in the past 1 hour: WallObserver.tk/1h.html (updated every 3 minutes).
All posts in the past 24 hours: WallObserver.tk (updated every 30 minutes).

Domain WallObserver.tk expires a year from now, I'll see by then if anyone uses it.
All times are set to Amsterdam time.
I moved it to a new server, and it's back online now Smiley

Limitations
I scrape a maximum of 500 pages per topic (sorry Wall Observer).
If it's not too much work, maybe you can do something like http://loyce.club/show/178336.html?last=10 to help people catch up easier with the last couple of pages (it can be useful exactly for WO) without killing your scrapper or the browser?
And another 80 minutes wasted Tongue
How's this:
All posts in the Wall Observer thread in the past 1h, 24h and 7d
All posts in the past 1 hour: WallObserver.tk/1h.html (updated every 3 minutes).
All posts in the past 24 hours: WallObserver.tk (updated every 30 minutes).
All posts in the past 7 days: WallObserver.tk/7d.html (updated every 2 hours).

Domain WallObserver.tk expires a year from now, I'll see by then if anyone uses it.
All times are set to Amsterdam time.

Limitations:
Images still go through Bitcointalk's image proxy, and they don't load when there are too many on one page. In Firefox a fix is to go to the URL-bar a few times, and press Enter. Just "Reload" doesn't help.

This is awesome. I have a "sentiment analysis" bot that currently runs on tweets and subreddits but I'll incorporate this feed as well. Thanks!

Wow, thank you very much. I didn't expect it'll take so much time, but on the other hand you've taken quite a different (and much more optimized) approach.

Signatures seem to be disabled/not displayed. Is there a way to have signatures displayed? The lack of a signature is a quick indicator that someone might be banned without cross referencing their handle/UID with any kind of list.
I only copy the posts, which was easiest and gives a cleaner page. I could strike out the usernames for banned users, but considering "showall" is only used a few times per month, I'd rather spend my time on other things (such as my long delayed dtview-viewer).

I tried installing the script in Tampermonkey. Here's the result:

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/14/blob24b9c668cfed8bfd.png
It worked for me. Try this:

Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name         @name LoyceV ShowAll Chrome Extension
// @include      https://bitcointalk.org/*
// @author       @author Initscri (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=186520)
// ==/UserScript==

function getQueryParams(qs) {
    qs = qs.split('+').join(' ');

    var params = {},
        tokens,
        re = /[?&]?([^=]+)=([^&]*)/g;

    while (tokens = re.exec(qs)) {
        params[decodeURIComponent(tokens[1])] = decodeURIComponent(tokens[2]);
    }

    return params;
}

var LoyceVShowAllChromeExtension = {
  logPrefix: 'LoyceV Show All Chrome Extension V1.0',
  verbose: true, // I mean, you should probably leave this on.
  logIfVerbose: function(message) {
    var controller = this;

    if(controller.verbose == true) {
      console.log(controller.logPrefix + ': ' + message);
    }
  },
  checkIfOnTopicPage: function() {
    var controller = this;

    // Get the mirrortab_back container.
    var mirrortab_b = document.getElementsByClassName("mirrortab_back")[0];
    var url_identifier = '//bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic='; // This also ensures this only runs on BitcoinTalk, and not similar SMF forums which share the same URL structure.
    var cur_url = window.location.href;

    // Check if mirrortab is avail, and on topic page.
    if(mirrortab_b != null && cur_url.indexOf(url_identifier) !== -1) {
      // on a BitcoinTalk.org topic page, proceed.
      console.log('Adding Show All Link');
      controller.addShowAllLinkForTopic(mirrortab_b);
    }
  },
  addShowAllLinkForTopic(location) {
    var controller = this;

    // First, get the topic ID from the url.
    var queryParams = getQueryParams(document.location.href);
    var topicId = queryParams['https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic'];
    topicId = topicId.substring(0, topicId.indexOf('.'));
    topicId = topicId.replace('.', '');

    if(location != null && topicId != null) {
      // Adding!
      var nodeSeperator = document.createElement('span');
      nodeSeperator.innerHTML = '  |  ';

      // Create the link
      var nodeLink = document.createElement('a');
      nodeLink.setAttribute('href', 'http://loyce.club/showall/' + topicId + '.html');
      nodeLink.setAttribute('target', '_BLANK');

      // Set the icon of the link.
      nodeLink.innerHTML = 'Show All';

      // And set the link!
      controller.logIfVerbose('Setting the link!');
      location.appendChild(nodeSeperator);
      location.appendChild(nodeLink);

      controller.logIfVerbose('All Done!');
    }
  },
  init: function() {
    var controller = this;

    // Check if on topic page.
    // And this runs everything else.
    controller.checkIfOnTopicPage();
  }
}

setTimeout(function() {
LoyceVShowAllChromeExtension.init();
}, 500);

It adds this option (I had to look for it):

I know you said the links have to be posted on BitcoinTalk in order to be picked up, so they can just copy the link if it 404s I guess? It just gets the user to the URL structure you recommended in the opening post.
I only scrape long topics after it has been requested, so there's not much use for showing links without posting them.

I can't help thinking manually editing the URL and posting it is much easier than installing a browser extension for this.

I was under the impression it worked for every URL generated, not when pasted into a post.

Either way though, it's there if people wish to use it. It makes it faster to copy/paste because you can just "Copy Link Address", and quicker to see if it's already been loaded into your script.

It didn't take me long to create since I had similar scripts available based on threads / urls.

I'm very careful with browser extensions and barely ever install them, but if someone is brave enough, they can try it out.
I'm curious though if you've tested it yourself, I didn't see any newly added topics on http://loyce.club/showall/?MA.

Source code is fully available. I did, seems to 404 when clicking on a thread which hasn't been archived. IDK if that's normal or not.

It's a chrome extension, but can be used for Firefox as well, or you can simply just pull the script from content-script.js and use in GreaseMonkey or something.

Having to be able to see someones posts, for example, when you are verifying a persons staked address in Tomatocage’s thread or showing all the OP’s replies or something. It would make it a lot easier but as the limitation states on the page count, we’ll see

This is how I knew that the search bar searches only in that thread. I searched my previous post about my staked address.

I can, but I need some time to do so.

BTW, the authors of the big topics might be posting these links in the first posts of their topics. Then users will not need to post such links.
If someone quotes the link, it triggers an update. I didn't exclude quotes yet (because it's more work).

That's good to know, I was not aware of that.  The "show all" feature is cool, but it often triggers the cloudflare page.

Yes cloudflare is an issue. To the extent of my knowledge, all leading cdn's would be triggered on the same issue. I ran into this problem when trying to implement a similar "show all" feature on a flarum based forum. Another dev did confirm that Akami, Fastly, Amazon CF all were triggering the warning page. It wasn't a real hindrance to workflow just a bit annoying.


I am not able to find things when I try to search in my own/someone post history.
Nor did it look search button is effective when you search on the pages like this:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/r1s2g3-1446224

The search function here is famously broken for quite some time. I try to make do with whatever I want to search by using google search by using "bitcointalk.org" in quotes. It usually works. When I have to search my inbox I try to use common vowel letters. That usually pulls up the required content almost 9 out of 10 times.

Very interesting idea. We will wait when you can add support for Russian. If I archive some user's posts in this form, will they be evidence on the forum?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
You'll have to post the link you're trying to see on the forum first. Not the link to the topic, but the link to loyce.club.

That's the wrong link, if you post http://loyce.club/showall/994018.html it works.
Update: it's still scraping. It's done, but it totally fails on Russian Sad
I don't have time at the moment, so I'll look into it later. Sorry for that. Fixed.

"Show all" is so convenient to CTRL-F something.

It is nice to be able to do that, though note that if you use the search box in the upper right while in a topic, it searches only that topic.

But still below feature need lot of improvement.

It's so obvious, and yet I don't think I've ever used it. Thanks! Shame on me Tongue

it would be better if the page would end up into something like this
Agreed! If this is going to be used, I'll change it. However, nobody has tested it yet. Come on, don't be shy Tongue

This is a great alternative, thank you! This is good for what you're looking for, search through thread for some words, for example. I don't know if it would be possible, but it would be better if the page would end up into something like this, the returned output would just be the user and the content of the post, it would not just be a printer-friendly output but also spreadsheet-friendly one.

The reason
This topic: Thread printing got me thinking:
"Show all" is so convenient to CTRL-F something.

Scraper
I made a script that scrapes all posts from a thread, and uploads it as one page to loyce.club/showall/

How to use it
1. Get the topic ID from the URL. I'll use 5102296 as an example.
2. Post the following link, but replace the topic ID by the one you want: http://loyce.club/showall/5102296.html on any public board, so my scraper can find it. This has to be a new post, edits are ignored.
3. Wait a bit (about 10 seconds + 7 seconds per page)
4. Click the link you created
5. Feel free to delete your post again

The link created at #2 is not an archive: any new request will overwrite it. If you want, you can archive it.

Bugs
Probably, it was a quick job Cheesy Please post them here.

Limitations
I scrape a maximum of 500 pages per topic (sorry Wall Observer). I can increase this if needed, but this is probably enough to kill your browser already.
During scraping, all new requests are ignored. I didn't account for multitasking. If someone else occupies my scraper, you'll have to post your request again a bit later.
There's an additional 2 minute delay between requests.
Don't quote this post!
