ltt-sidebar-customizer's Introduction

Linus Tech Tips forum customizer

A basic browser addon to customize the www.linustechtips.com forum.

I am in no way affilliated with Linus Media Group or the Linus Tech Tips forum.

Updated to v0.9.1 on 24th May, 2022

Changelogs:

  • Option to show Status Updates section on all pages. This is done by making a request to the main page and pulling the Status Updates section and concatenating it to the sidebar.
  • Redesign of the configurator.
  • [Minor] Option to manually set the margin on badges to 3px. This was previously done by default.
  • New documentation for all features of the customizer.

Installation

  • Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox
  • Chrome
  • If you would like to install the extension through the source code, please send me a DM on the forum.(This is only for the moment and will be updated later with detailed instructions on how to do it yourself)

Settings

  1. Navigate to chrome://extensions(or edge://extensions). Now, click "Details" under the extension you just added.

  1. You're done! Check the LTT forum to check if the extension works!

Alternative

If you have the extension pinned to the browser's address bar, you can click that and access the customization menu with ease.

Privacy

This extension does not collect any information from the end user. While I'd love to say this is so because I care for and respect your privacy, this is just because I can't be bothered to implement that. Though, rest assured, I will never take the efforts to implement any sort of tracking in the extension.

Errors and Issues

Please raise an issue if the extension doesn't work properly. There might be some pages which I'm not aware of where the extension doesn't work. Please attach a screenshot of the console(Ctrl + Shift + J).

Feedback

DM me on the LTT forum. It's RockSolid1106 on the forum. What are you doing here if you don't know my username? /s

ltt-sidebar-customizer's Issues

Oversized popup in Firefox

SOLVED

Describe the bug
When I open the extension on Firefox after install, or after minimizing and then maximizing the Firefox page, the extension becomes oversized. It does not always recreate, just most of the time

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Firefox and load extension
  2. Minimize the tab
  3. Maximize the tab
  4. See error

Expected behavior
Normal sized window

Screenshots
The console did not show anything.

User rank option no longer functions after forum update

Describe the bug
The option
"Show your level/rank in the profile dropdown"
no longer works. Only the text "USER MENU" is shown in the profile dropdown.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Enable "Show your level/rank in the profile dropdown".
  2. Go to the profile dropdown.

Expected behavior
The actual rank stats to appear.

Screenshots

Additional context
This is a known issue after the forum update. This happens because the extension un-commented the code that displayed the stats, but now that piece of code has been removed.
I have found an alternative way to display those stats, which is by using the element that shows the stats in mobile view(what you get when you reduce the width of the page). I already have a working prototype for this and might push an update soon with some other minor bug fixes.

Configurator keeps changing size of window when profile menu is visited

Describe the bug
The screen jumps around as if the CSS is being executed and then in-executed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the extension menu
  2. Click on "Profile"
  3. See error

Expected behavior
Smooth CSS operation

Screenshots

Happens on Windows Firefox only, it wasn't smooth but this exact thing didn't happen on macOS.
I think it is the mobile style rules interfering with the desktop style rules. As the video shows, when you shrink the browser window, the glitch does not occur
