Which browser are you using?

I use chrome; to use closeit I installed tampermonkey and put closeit in as a userscript. It can probably work on anything that can do userscripts.

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name           CloseIt
// @namespace      Magistream
// @include        http://magistream.com/creature/*
// ==/UserScript==

setTimeout('window.close();',2000);

this code works a little TOO well... it also keeps me from seeing people's creature pages...

edit: and apparently ANY tab with "magistream" in its url.... something is off with that script.

Did you make sure to copy everything as above?
Because this part-

Code: Select all

// @include        http://magistream.com/creature/*

Is what tells it to close creature pages, which is why you can't see them, you have to turn Tampermonkey off or else they'll just close right away. Which is what it's supposed to do.
I don't know why it'd be closing other pages though, unless you forgot to add the last pat of the url that says /creature/*

yes. I used the "select all" to make sure I got the entire code.

edit: believe me, that confused me as well, but that's what it was doing. I had to disable tampermonkey just to be able to run around ms normally as I am now.

Okay, so, I just installed tampermonkey and the code I posted exactly as is to test this. The only pages it's closing are creature pages, so the code and tampermonkey are both working as they should for me.

So the script has to have been copied incorrectly, probably on the @include line, or there's some kind of browser or computer setting messing things up (although I can't imagine what that could be). If you have multiple browsers, try installing it on all of them and see if it's only broken in that browser (I'm using chrome).

Make sure you're using the most updated version of the browser on which you installed it. Try uninstalling and reinstalling, and restarting the browser after you've done that.

Unfortunately that's all I can really offer on the support front.

To make sure the script installed properly simply click the dropdown menu from GM(there should be a tiny arrow next to the monkey face, if not, try right clicking) and click 'Manage User Scripts' which should open up your Add-ons Manager and, if it downloaded properly, should be listed on the page.
If it is, then turn GM on and click away.

This is why I use Greasemonkey. The being able to turn it on/off at a simple click of a button is totally worth it/super important to me.

If Tampermonkey has this same ability, I advise that you use it, otherwise the script is CORRECT and it's doing what it's suppose to.

I figured out what the problem was.

It wasn't the code given... I accidentally left the sample script in that appears when you hit "add a new script" and that was what was goofing the entire thing up. For the sake of those who are like me (and have forgotten) or just don't know... maybe you should add to the original post that says to make sure that the "sample" is deleted before saving the new script.

Hey c: Sorry for bumping this topic, but my script doesn`t work for a while. I`m using Firefox 64.0.2 and Greasemonkey. I used the script from here 3:

I am using tampermonkey on chrome and the script worked fine until I clicked the button to temporarily disable it for a bit. Now it doesn't work no matter WHAT I try- reinstalling it, restarting browser/computer, etc. Very frustrating and if anyone has any suggestions I am all ears.

Use linkclump on chrome. It has an inbuilt ability to close tabs it opens. You just have to go to link clump options and enable it. Works beautifully on both chrome and opera. Have not tried it on other browsers.

I used to have this script on my old computer...but don't have it plugged in etc...so yeah have no access to it right now.
Maybe when I have time, I'll try to see if I can set it up on Firefox but no promises at the moment. (I miss being lazy and clicks autoclosing) but then I remember what a pita it is to keep up with this thing to maintain working. bleh.

I checked and it seems that with Firefox 2.0+ a script is by default not allowed to close a window it did not open. I'm not sure for how long your script has not been working, but I'm seeing google hits about it as far back as 2006, so I'm not sure whether the following solution will fix it for you, but one can always try and hope I suppose .

Anyway, the solution I found was: If you want to allow the CloseIt script to close the windows, you have to change the advanced config settings.

1. Open Firefox
2. Enter "about:config" in the URL/address area.
3. You will get a warning that basically states you need to be careful adjusting the settings.
4. Click the button and you will get a giant list of settings. There will be a search area above it, so use that to find the setting you need to change: "dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows".
5. Once you have found these, simply double click on the "false" that's listed in the column "value" and it will change to "true".
6. Close the about:config page and your script should now again close windows.

Hope that works for you .

I'm using the script with Chrome as well, and I tried disabling and then enabling the script again via the Tampermonkey dashboard and the script still works fine.

Is it still not working for you?

If so:

Can you tell me exactly what you've done to get this problem? Maybe I can recreate it or perhaps find a solution/fix for you.

Since I'm not sure what exactly you've tried to fix it, some simple checks perhaps:
- are you still Tampermonkey is active/enabled?
- when you click on Tampermonkey and then on 'Dashboard', is the CloseIt script still listed under 'Installed scripts'? If so, are you sure you've enabled this script again?

If this does not fix things, perhaps you can try opening a new window in Chrome, pressing F12 to open the Developer Tools and then click on 'Console'. Then try opening some creature pages. If there is anything red or yellow listed in the Console window (the one you've just opened)? If so, please send me a screenshot (or post it here), and perhaps that will enlighten us as to what is the problem .
Also, if you're not sure what to do, feel free to PM me.

Thank you for all this! Literally the only thing I did was disable/enable the script for a short period of time. Closeit is the *only* userscript I have in there at all, and I tried enabling/disabling, uninstalling the script, restarting my browser, then reinstalling it, and every other combination I could think of with no success.
What finally DID work was uninstalling and reinstalling *Tampermonkey* itself, then reinstalling the closeit script again. It works fine now, but I haven't tried disabling it again.
