By RunningBlind Last update Apr 14, 2009 — Installed 12,272 times.

Script Summary: Enhances MySpace photo album functionality. Users can view full versions of images as well as corresponding caption and comments directly in album view.



Version: 2.0.2

Notes

  • My first script! :D
  • I am open to any suggestions or feedback.
  • Not recommended for users with monitor resolutions less than 1024x768 pixels.
  • This script is not intended to be compatible with non-Mozilla-based browsers or other MySpace photo user scripts.

Preview Image

MySpace Tom's picture album, "My Photos," displayed with script enabled. (v2.0)

The first image shows the album view. After clicking on the first image, the second image is seen.


View without script enabled.

Feature List

  • View high-definition versions of images with corresponding caption and comments without ever leaving the album page.
  • To scroll through thumbnails, mouse over the thumbnails on either side.
  • To flip through images, use the left and right arrow keys or the chevron symbols.
  • Flip though comment pages with Next and Previous links.
  • All images load at the same time when the page loads.

User-set Modifications

There are a few user-set variables for personalization of this script.
They are available through the "Settings" link on any MySpace photo album page.

Future Modifications

  • Integrated comment form
  • Full compatibility with tagged photos

Current Known Issues (In Development)

  • When users are looking at their own photos, comments cannot be deleted.

Updates Log

  • 03/16/09 (v2.0) - Rewritten from scratch
    • Utilizes the jQuery library via @require, so requires Greasemonkey 0.8 or later.
