Greasemonkey & FIRST Manual direct rules link idea
Moderators feel free to move this thread if you think it's in the wrong forum, or could better benefit input by the FIRST community by being somewhere other than in the IT/Communications section.
That said; I actively use the Greasemonkey application talked about & written through collaborative efforts through users here on CD for very quick & easy links to The Blue Alliance page on teams as referenced in this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...+team +number For those who don't want to read that, the basics are that if you have Greasemonkey installed (personally, I have it installed in Firefox as an simple add-on) then whenever someone types in the exact phrase "Team ###", then the text is automagically converted into a hyperlink to the Team ### page on The Blue Alliance website. What if, in the future, there was a more signifigant & important way to impliment Greasemonkey on this site specifically? My idea (and I have absolutely no programming knowledge, but tons of ideas for what I think COULD happen, so please bear with me) is that whenever someone types in a Game Manual rule such as <R14> in that format with the greater than/less than symbol included, then there could be a link directly to the manual page that has that specific rule listed on a single page. I am guessing this would require a collabrative effort between FIRST to make the manual available online in something other than a PDF file for this application at least, & also a programmer who could take up the task to write a program in Greasemonkey to link the site here to that depository of Manual Rules (which seems simple enough considering it was done in the case of The Blue Alliance, there just needs to be something to link to from here). Thoughts? Ideas? Is there any hope of this ever happening?? Last edited by Elgin Clock : 12-02-2009 at 12:20. |
