Updated the ObWi pie filter to handle some changes in GreaseMonkey.

Get it while it's hot.

Check it out!

Bug fix: sometimes the pie would not happen. Haven't figured out the root why, but i fixed the symptom.

Download and install, here.

This is v3.0.2.

I've updated the BJ Pie Filter to work with the new new BJ layout.

... as of 12:00pm Wednesday (May 15, 2013). If things change over there and it stops working, let me know.

Huzzah.

To use this, you’ll need Greasemonkey:

• For FireFox
• For Internet Explorer
• For Chrome

I'm not sure if other browsers have GM support or not. Consult your local geek.

You can download the pie filter, here.

Usage:
Install it.

Then, whenever you load a BJ article page, you will see two buttons below the comment text box: "Add Selected" and "Remove Selected". To filter a user, select the text of the user's name, and click "Add Selected". From then on, comments from that user, and any other user you've added, will be pie'd. To remove a user from your list of filtered users, select the user's name and click "Remove Selected".

Update:
If you have the latest version, you should see "Balloon Juice Disemvoweller 3.0.1" in your Greasemonkey "Manage User Scripts" list. If you see "Balloon Juice Disemvoweller null", you have an older version. If the pie controls appear beneath the BJ comment box, but the text on the buttons is dark, you have the old version, which will not work. The text on the buttons needs to be white.

Updated, again.

I've updated the BJ Pie Filter to work with the new BJ layout.

Update 1: it is now up-to-date as of 5:00pm Monday (March 25, 2012-ish). Things are still under construction over there, so don't be surprised if it stops working again. BJ is a moving target right now.

Update 2: Updated as of Saturday 3/31/2012 6:00PM.

Update 3: Updated as of Saturday 2/16/2013 6:00PM.

I've given the pie filters a couple hundred pie-related phrases already, but it'd nice to have a couple thousand, right? So, give your fellow pie lovers a little taste of your wit!

Got some clever pie text you'd like to have added to the pie filters? Leave it in comments, here!

I'll keep these comments hidden to everyone except you and me, to keep the pie as fresh as can be.

I’ve created a pie filter for Kevin Drum's Mother Jones site.

To use this, you’ll need Greasemonkey : for FireFox, for Internet Explorer - not sure if other browsers have GM support or not.

Note: this will probably not work in Chrome, as-is. I've heard TamperMonkey can help. I don't use Chrome, so I can't say for sure. Perhaps, if someone asks nicely, MikeJ could port this to a native Chrome extension ?

After you install it, two Add/Remove buttons will appear at the bottom of the comments, just under the "Post As.." button. To add someone to your pie list, select their name on the page somewhere (but not in the comment box!), and click the "Add Selected" button. Then, all of their comments will be replaced with lovely messages about pie.

When you add someone, the comments will be updated instantly. If you remove someone, the script will have to refresh the page.

Feel free to ask, if you have any questions.

Yesterday's BJ Pie Filter update had a bug: it would break all the comment editing buttons (the block-quote, bold, italics, link toolbar above the comment box).

This has been fixed.

We hateses the DOM.

FYI, I’ve modified the FireFox version of the Balloon Juice pie filter so you can add (and remove) people from your pie list by just selecting their name then clicking a button. No more editing!

The Add/Remove buttons will appear at the bottom of the comments, just under the "Submit". When you add someone, the comments will be updated instantly. If you remove someone, the script will have to refresh the page.

Tres sexy. Oui oui.

The old method of editing the script still works, but this is far easier.
