[SOLVED] Need someone to rewrite a currency conversion script
Every function with GM_ prefix should be listed in the metablock:
// @grant GM_openInTab
// @grant GM_xmlhttpRequest
// @grant GM_setValue
// @grant GM_getValue
// @grant GM_addStyle
// @grant GM_registerMenuCommand
Insert that before // ==/UserScript==.
That partly fixed it - now the tooltip appears but it just shows "retrieving" where the converted values are supposed to be. Is it working for you?
The currency conversion service used (Yahoo finances) is still working.
But actually works in a different sense that expected by this old script.
The answer of Yahoo finances is always like "CCY",0.7609,
where "CCY" means "currency", and 0.7609 is the rate value in this example.
The script use the CCY as the returned currency symbol. Wrong.
We need to use USD, AUD, EUR, or wharever currency is displayed in the site.
You must delete or comment the line
var foreign_currency = response[0].substring(1,4);
in the get_exchange_rate function.
Also I recomend you to add other line in the header:
// @connect download.finance.yahoo.com
As said wOxxom, Insert before // ==/UserScript==.
Success! That did it, thanks @wOxxOm and @leoncastro :smiley:
[SOLVED] Need someone to rewrite a currency conversion script
I have this old currency conversion script that stopped working, probably because of changes to greasemonkey or the currency conversion service. It is the best currency conversion script I've ever used, and I've not been able to find a suitable replacement. The script can be found here. If you know of a working version of this script or a suitable alternative, do let me know. Otherwise I'm hoping someone can rewrite the script with the same functionality, using a different conversion service if necessary. Thanks for any help.
