Introducing... SETH!

SETH, the Simdynasty Enhancement THingy (yeah, feel free to suggest better names :) )!

[url=http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/98635]Click here to install[/url]

SETH is a Greasemonkey script that works with the Firefox Greasemonkey plugin to add little plugins to the site. As of right now, all I've done is added some functionality to the player pages, but if there's any interest (and possibly even if there isn't), I'll continue adding things.

[b]Current Features:[/b]
[list]
[*]Average Season stats added.
[*]162 Game Average stats added for Batters.
[*]Click on any two years, and see the total stats, average season, and 162 game averages for all of the years in between the two.
[/list]

[b]Known Issues:[/b]
[list]
[*]When installed in Chrome, Chrome claims that SETH can access all of your data on all sites. This isn't actually true, it only is activated on Simdynasty sites. I know how to fix this, but unfortunately it breaks for Firefox. If people are worried about this, I suppose I could make two different versions for the different browsers.
[/list]

[b]Planned Future Features:[/b]
[list]
[*]Adding the original enhancements to other views (splits, fielding, etc)
[*]Checking trade offers to see if the correct number of players will be on the team [i]before[/i] the trade is submitted.
[*]Adding a way to manage settings for SETH, and enable/disable specific features.
[*]More ideas always welcome!
[/list]

Note: SETH requires the [url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/]Greasemonkey add-on[/url] in order to work in Firefox. Support for other browsers coming soon!

3/9/11 UPDATE: SETH now is compatible with Chrome, as well!

3/10/11 BUG FIX: Clicking on a link in the player stats table is no longer overridden

9/19/12 I've created a GitHub repo if anyone would like to contribute to the development of SETH: https://github.com/jetpacmonkey/SETH

Has anyone tried installing this yet? I'd like to know if it's not working correctly.

I think this is a super cool and awesome idea, but I use Chrome instead of Firefox. I'm looking forward to hearing how it works for everyone!

In theory, Chrome supports user-scripts, but I'm using some features that are Firefox-specific. I typically use Chrome, too, so I'm hoping to be able to get that working ASAP!

Very cool!

Is this all run on the client side or does it make additional calls back to the server?

It's all client side. The only server calls are to load jquery and jquery ui from google's servers, and with cacheing that should only happen once. After that it parses the table that's already output in the player page.

Very cool!

I'm going to post a link to this in latest news.

Much appreciated! I think it might actually work in browsers other than Chrome and Firefox (I remember seeing a Greasemonkey-type thing for Safari a while back), but I've only tested it in those two. Any ideas for other UI or data-processing enhancements would be appreciated.

This is beautiful, thank you!

Stinks that it overrides other links (season by team), but it's still a really great addition.

Thanks again!

I'll make sure to work on a fix and post here once it's ready.

For now, you can just right click the links and open them in a new tab or a new window.

OK, this bug has been fixed. If you already installed it before, you can simply re-install, and it should replace the older version.

I've installed this and I'm using it. Very, very cool. Well done.

I'm running Firefox on a Mac. i get the per year and 162- game averages, which look great, but when i click on years, the window pops up like the screenshot above, except it's all zeroes.


Nothing happened on Safari.

That's odd, because that picture was taken using Firefox on a Mac. Looks like I must've broken something... I'll take a look and see what I can find.

Alright, fixed it. Safari doesn't have any built-in support for user scripts like this one, but if I remember right a quick google search will turn up some plugins to make greasemonkey scripts work in Safari.

Nice work! You have made a numbers junkie very happy. Firefox by the way.

Hey Jetpac, anyway to add a feature to track other team's player's in SETH? I suggested this on ideascale ages ago but the idea hasn't caught on in popularity.

...and also, SETH rocks my world. A great little addition to the player stats page.
