April 18 - Grand Exchange Database GreaseMonkey extension

Nate · **Posted:** April 20th, 2008, 12:36 pm

The newly-released Grand Exchange Database allows you to look at the price evolution of the past 7 days or 30 days. The system to see how prices evolved over the past year is already in place, without a link to it though.

GreaseMonkey is an extension to your browser which allows you to run a bit of code on some pages. We at RuneVillage created such a bit of code that adds the button for 1 year so you can actually see what they didn't want us to see yet.

Once you have added the extension to your browser (easiest to do on Firefox, but possible on most other browsers as well), you can install the code found over here. It only adds a button and manipulates the page it links to so you get to see the graph of 1 year.

Have fun with it! Having a bigger idea of how prices have evolved is really handy!

EDIT: now with added support for the German version of the website!

Ah indeed, forgot to make a post about it here... I'll link to it right away as well.

I'll add extra instructions on how to use the script on several popular browsers:
Firefox: add the GreaseMonkey Extension and afterwards click the link above for it to install the script.

Opera (version 8+ only): Download the script on the location given above and store it in a folder on your hard disk. Go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content > JavaScript options and select the directory where the userscripts are located. Normally speaking Opera should recognise it as a GreaseMonkey userscript.

Internet Explorer: Install Turnabout which will add some functionalities to Internet Explorer including one to run GreaseMonkey scripts. After installing Right-click the link above, select Turnabout, and click "Install Script…".

Thanks

Great work BTW, things like this are a great way to boost RV's activity among RS players!

Wow that's fantastic Glode! You're really good at this

so if I wanted another change on a view of a page I just add another script?

EDIT: You might want to change the name of the new button you added.
It says 7 Days.....30 Days....1 Year

So you might want to change that to 365 days or just change the others to 1 week and 1 month or so.

You're right

Fixed it now.

Some screenshots:

The new graph of a year:

Great! so what's the new script?

EDIT: nvm, deleted old one and downloaded new one.

EDIT2: The button appeared at the bottom and it says for the last 365 days, but the axes and graph doesn't change now

That doesn't seem to be due to my system... I think they removed that ability

There's little I can do about it I guess

I'm unable to open the pictures I used to be able to open, so it's clear they've found out about this and removed it. Oh well, it was nice as long as it lasted.

Dang it...
Should've been prepared for Jagex Power xD
nice try though ^_^;

Glodenox · **Posted:** April 21st, 2008, 12:33 pm

Oh wait, I found out how I'm able to display the graphs they released yesterday. That way you can still see the year graph, but I'll need to make some adjustments first then...

EDIT: hmm... perhaps not... Some images work, some don't. Weird... Very weird... Oh well, for those still wanting to check it out, please visit this page on Userscripts.org.

Haha I like the monkey

Is this site like youtube, but instead of videos, it's scripts?

I'll still use it.

Do you think it's safe to use some the scripts (e.g. offline world available script) that Freeze submitted?

Glodenox · **Posted:** April 21st, 2008, 1:53 pm

Freeze's scripts seem to be fine to me. Written quite sloppy and with way too few tabs to make it readable, but they're fine.
I make use of his script for the forum and it contains some small bugs, but works just fine in general.

By announcing it on the front page you put it right on Jagex's radar...

Either that or Jagex caught wind of it through independent discoveries like this.

Alas, all good things must come to an end.
