AdBlock

I quite liked AdBlock from Lex1 (http://my.opera.com/Lex1/blog/adblock-for-opera-analogue-of-adblock-plus-element-hiding-helper). But in my opinion it's really hard to make any changes here. So I created my own version of this AdBlock with upgraded "Edit Options".

Here is the user script: http://files.myopera.com/BS-Harou/files/AdBlock2.0.js

How it looks like:


In case you want have AdBlock in Right Click Context Menu, go to Preferences>Advanced>Toolbars and duplicate "Menu setup". Than go in windows to [Profile]/Application Data/Opera/[version of opera]/menu and open "standard_menu (1).ini"

Find there [Document Popup Menu] and Add this:
Submenu, "AdBlock", AdBlock Menu

And than you have to create this menu:
[AdBlock Menu]
Item, "Block"="Go to page, "javascript:window.navigator.ujs_adblock.block()",,,"Blank""
Item, "Unblock Last"="Go to page, "javascript:window.navigator.ujs_adblock.unblock(true)",,,"Blank""
Item, "Unblock All"="Go to page, "javascript:window.navigator.ujs_adblock.unblock()",,,"Blank""
Item, "Edit"="Go to page, "javascript:window.navigator.ujs_adblock.edit()",,,"Blank""

A couple more suggestions>

Blocking:
1. Clicking button "Block"
2. Hold down CTRL and marking elements to hide...
3. Pressed ESC and all marked items disappeared ...

Unlocking:
1. Clicking "Unblock"
2. Hold down CTRL marking elements to unblock without the need each time you click "Unblock"
3. Press ESC and went out of mode unlock

in Lex1's version there're two block actions:
1. ujs_adblock.block (true)
2. ujs_adblock.block ()

#1 blocks elements block elements
#2 blocks elements block elements, use :nth-child

When you blocking element (without using :nth-child), all the items falling under the rule are highlighted.

There's no confirmation dialog in your version and it turns out that I'm singling out one element for blocking, and with it blocked more elements...

So, i want for when you hover on the element (ujs_adblock.block (true)) to provide all the elements that will be blocked

thnx

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I don't have much time now... But I know there is lots of things that should be done about this userJS, so perhaps I will one day make some updates =)

BTW I don't get what do you mean in point one, can you please reformulated it? Thank you =)

With original script you can always block only one element and then you had to click on "Block" or use "ALT+SHIFT+B" again to block another.



Excellent!
That I really did not have enough in the version Lex1

But there are downsides - in your version there is no point
Item, "Block" = "Go to page," javascript: window.navigator.ujs_adblock.block (true )",,," Blank ""
and it is not very convenient because those blocks that can be locked with a single click - accounted for one block (I block 5, and tomorrow will be 6-th)

It is understandable that you specifically it was removed so that the user does not accidentally blocked all the content, but nevertheless it is convenient, so that>

Feedback + Suggestions
1. Item, "Block" = "Go to page," javascript: window.navigator.ujs_adblock.block (true )",,," Blank "" when you move immediately to show what other elements fall under the rule;
2. Make a window to moveable (like http://ruzanow.ru/userjs/google-translate.js) and when you click on the rule displayed blocked element
3. The rules do not fit in the window + make nicer and neat this window

Thanks for the filestube one, but it still wouldn't work, even after refresh. It deleted the ad, but when I refreshed, it came back, and alt-shift-e showed nothing, as if I'm not able to save anything for that site.

Try to delete them in the alt+shift+e dialog, click on add and create your own. Sometimes the best options is to ADD just something simple like: DIV[id="advert"]

For files tube I use this (you can put it in by insert button in alt+shift+e dialog):

A[href="http://www.filestube.com/helpus.html"],IMG[src="http://static.filestube.com/files/images/feedback.gif"],HTML>BODY>DIV[class="content"]:nth-child(3)>DIV[id="results_box"]:nth-child(8)>DIV[class="resultadv2"]:nth-child(3),HTML>BODY>DIV[class="content"]:nth-child(3)>DIV[id="results_box"]:nth-child(8)>DIV[class="results"][id="results"]:nth-child(1)>DIV[class="other_adv2"]:nth-child(2),HTML>BODY>DIV[class="content"]:nth-child(3)>DIV:nth-child(10)


This one is working for me even after refresh =)

I can give 1 site which doesn't work:
http://www.filestube.com/search.html?q=hello&select=All

Actually, that's the main reason I asked, I wanted to do it manually since it wasn't working for some sites. Also, wanted to try identify patterns and do a wildcard block of some sort, but ctrl-shift-e showed 2 different things being blocked as being the same, so wasn't totally reliable.

Also have the problem that new things I block rarely stay blocked forever.

z@h3k: localStorage in O10.5, cookies in O10.10

On some sites from unknown reasons it really doesn't save the advertises. Sometimes it may be caused because there is javascript in blocked element.

You can try this one http://my.opera.com/Lex1/blog/adblock-for-opera-analogue-of-adblock-plus-element-hiding-helper and if this one works and mine not, than write me please on which site! =)

Thanks. Where does it save blocking content?
And it seems when the page reload , advertises go back...

rolandb313: Everything is stored in the localStorage (or cookies in O10.10). But you can edit it with ALT+SHIFT+E

With original script you can always block only one element and then you had to click on "Block" or use "ALT+SHIFT+B" again to block another. So I decided to do it this way, that you can block how many elements you want and then just press the "Esc" .. but it would be obviously good idea to create another more visible Stop blocking function. Do you have any idea how to do that?
