If anything goes wrong (I don't believe anything would go wrong the dev is a genius) I apologize in advance! ;):D

Small update posted that threw an error if you didn't set the image override in advanced settings ( Didn't have a default value in some use cases )

Looks like there was a bug in the code causing the 0.2.6 version to not work :( Just uploaded a minor update to fix this, apologies.

Ok I'm back :)
Were did we stop ?
Not available pic right ?

Can I suggest a new background too (yours is a bit too much iThing lol)

Cool, glad to see ya back ;)

Yep, not available pic, and sure, I'm open for a background change. Haven't done much with this since it doesn't seem to be getting much use. But updating the look and feel is easy enough... I may redo some of the layout of the images as well if I get motivated. Thanks for checking in...

Something's getting screwed up for me

I'm in the process of going through the UCCW 2.0 skins thread, it was working fine, I had a little hiccup, I think, et some point the new page was stuck loading the pictures, but I finally got it when I went manually to that page and ran you extension from there. And now to the screwed part:
I have set my pages to 50 posts per page and wanted to start watching again from the 21st page and it showed it was loading the images and then showed me that I had reached the end of the thread, which is absurd - even with 50 posts per page there are 174 pages at the moment. So I went to the previous page to scroll down from the extension, still the same, and I repeated till page 18 with the same result, then I checked the 1st page, everything was okay, went to 16th and it was working and I could scroll down to the 21st page without problems.
Pages:
21st:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880050&page=21
20th:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880050&page=20
19th: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880050&page=19
18th: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880050&page=18
17th: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880050&page=17
Just checked, the 17th page is okay as well. Also 22nd still gives the error.
Hope you can figure out what the problem is, as scrolling down from the 17th page to whatever seems nuts :D
Just checked: the 174th and 164th page are loading as they should.
Hope this helps, as your little extension is a BIG must in my eyes in this forum :D and also a BIG help for many, including myself!!

[EDIT] The pages start loading normally from that thread again on page 100!
Scrolled to 102 from the 17th page :p
On a sidenote: @RubenRybnik have you seen this already, the thread seems so quiet for some reason! Has anyone seen this at all? :D
Still an awesome work you've done!!!

Hey all... Sorry for being MIA for awhile, work has been beyond crazy, but I'm starting to get back to this. I've been re-coding the extension from scratch, the idea being to make it a lot more generic and, hopefully, improve performance. I've implemented most of the same logic still have to do the options page stuff and some re-styling but now its pretty easy to enable the extension on any other forum I, or you, want. Currently this is just XDA, JeepForum.com and the Anandtech forums. Going to keep it to those three, maybe one or two more while I finish it all up and put it through a couple days of testing. Hopefully a release soon(ish) depending on 'real life' stuff.

alliktaavo I'll look into the problems you listed, thanks for taking the time to be so detailed.

pooley I'll add the new 404 images you made as well :)

EDIT: On yea... anyone have any good suggestions for a name, XDA Gallery doesn't really fit now, since it works for several forums, and many more to come. "Forum Gallery" is descriptive but a little boring ;)

Name idea (kind of a brainstorm here to let you bounce on)
- SumUp,
- Visual Overview,
- PixUp,
- Gall-o-matic (since it's an automatic gallery),
- ...
Help the guy folks lol

How about combining two of your ideas pooley and get Pix-O-Matix! And for my suggestion how about "Now you see it" or "Picture Matrix"!

Stormtrooped out S2, hitting its mark with AOSPA 3+!

Yep first thought of pix-o-matix but an chrome app is called pixel-o-matic guess it maybe too close and people could be mistaken. But it's a good thought mate ;)

Hmmm... great suggestions... still trying to work 'forum' in there somewhere, to reflect what it does... "Gallorum" ( Gallery Forum? )? Lol... luckily I have some more stuff to work on while we all chew on name ideas.

Anyone willing to get in some early alpha testing? Can try and get something up in the next day or two. I'll need you to PM me your google emails so I can add you to the test accounts for the extension, then I'll send you the link once a version is published.

    What is it:

    This is a quick extension I coded up to turn XDA threads into an image gallery. The extension button will enable when you're on a topic that it is able to translate, clicking it will open a new tab that dynamically fetches images as your scroll down. Keep in mind this is an Alpha, did it in one day, so it may ( read "most likely" ) will have problems. Its great on those "Post your screenshots" ( wallpapers, cases, whatever ) type threads.

    Permissions:

    - "Access your data on xdaforums.com" - This is to fetch images from the forum, I haven't messed around with removing it since I was just using this personally but decided to release to you. Promise I don't care, nor gather, anything about what you do on XDA. ;)
    - "Access your tabs and browsing activity" - This is to detect when you switch between tabs and enable/disable the extension button. Also I do have this hooked into Google Analytics now, but I only gather extension page views to see what's being used. In the future I'll be hooking it into events as I add features( if it's popular enough ) to decide where to put my efforts. No personal information is collected.
    - "Storage": Allow extension to save Extension Settings.

    How to Install:

    Reporting Bugs:

    If you'd like to report bugs then please give me the thread you had an issue with, and if you can narrow it down to an image then link to the post containing that image ( if it's working, there is a link under each image to bring you to the post. ).

    What's Next:

    • Currently the extension will start showing images from the forum page you launched it from. Going to implement a way to jump to the beginning or specific page.
    • Implement scrolling upwards to load the previous pages images, this is needed for the next item.
    • Lots more ideas for "community" type features :) But gotta get the basics hammered down first!

    Change Log:


    3/15/2013
    • Added an "Advanced" options section allowing you to override the number of images and fetch all of them. ( If it doesn't work correctly on some thread blame mon5trum, he requested it ;) )
    • Some bug fixes

    3/9/2013
    • Now when viewing images in the popup you can click to view prev and next, or just use the arrow keys to navigate!
    • New Extension Settings page, styled to blend in and match chromes style for settings.
    • Setting to adjust the minimum number of images to fetch( Careful here as it wont render any images until it finds at least this number, could take awhile if you try and use on a thread that doesn't have many images ).
    • Setting to turn on debug mode ( Will show logging in the Chrome console. NOTE: I'd leave this disabled unless you need to troubleshoot an issue as it could slow down logic a bit )

    3/7/2013
    • Lots of fixes and enhancements in this one.
    • First off, thanks to Pooley! He is an awesome guy, and very talented. Thanks to him with have a great, professional looking icon!
    • Aspect ratio is now respected
    • Added image zoom capability
    • Now identify images with broken links and shows in small window( as to not break scrolling functionality for now )
    • Images should also layout nicely in a column format
    • Fixed quite a few bugs( hopefully without creating new ones )
    • Hmmm... seems like there should be more, but I'm too lazy to look at my commit log, so just check it out :)

    3/2/2013
    • NEW: Now on the official Chrome Web Store
    • Starting to work on the look a bit, its still pretty ugly lol... What can I say, graphic design isn't my thing, but it'll get better ;)

    1/27/2013
    • Pretty much a complete rewrite
    • Fixed loading duplicate issues
    • Better error handling( Will tell you when it's reached the end of the thread )
    • Asynchronous loading should now be working correctly


    Do you find this useful? Click the Thanks button to send me some encouragement... Or if you're feeling really generous buy me a redbull to keep me going at the keyboard :) ( If not, no worries, it's hardly expected :) )

    OK second try :)

    I like this one (minimalist and easely recognizable even in 19x19) what do you think ?
    Also attach a zip with psd + png (512, 38, 19) ON/OFF mode

    Now in the official Chrome Web Store Click here to install

    Thanks mate, that was quick. This could be harsh but that's how it is i guess, there might not be many takers for this extension unfortunately, with many using the app and stuff..just like the xda toolbar chrome extension by Archer. Hope i'm wrong though.

    No worries my friend... I made it mostly for myself and to learn some of the Chrome Extension design patterns so if even a couple people get use out of it that's good enough for me. Started thinking about releasing it as an Android app as well, so we'll see how that goes ;)
