Sponsor | | Vortexfugue | Jul 1, 2007 9:56pm | Right here from the TOS:
"You may not use any 3rd party toolbars or scripts to access StumbleUpon." |

Sponsor | | higher-logic | Jul 2, 2007 4:29am | | Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately, until SU actually makes a toolbar for Opera users, I could care less about that sentence. |

Sponsor | | StrangeJ | Jul 2, 2007 6:04am | I did mean to say that's very nifty, but one of my scripts was stopping me posting (this was late at night), so I kinda got annoyed and wasn't in a very happy mood ;)
I take it is just reversed engineered from the FF toolbar?
7: In the distant past the SU devs have said there is not enough functionality within Opera to make it possible. Perhaps they have just given up ;) |

Sponsor | | Laukev7 | Jul 2, 2007 7:20am | | I tried it out, I found it disappointing. It seems to rely mostly on the existing hyperlinks used by Toolbarless SU |

Sponsor | | higher-logic | Jul 2, 2007 2:36pm | Lauk: Yes, but with one major difference, you can actually stumble pages. The toolbarless SU just lets you rate a site. I don't know about you, but I use SU because of the stumbling, not because I can give a site a thumbsup. That's the entire concept and driving force behind SU.
Strange: Nah, no reverse engineering. It's really a simple thing. Go to this page:
stumbleupon.com/recommend.php [stumbleupon.com/recommend.php]
If you're logged into SU, you'll see a list of suggested URLs. That's where the toolbar gets the links. If you're not logged in, you just do this:
recommend.php?username=YOUR_SU_ID&password=YOUR_PASS
Not hard to figure out if you program, nothing but common naming conventions.
The next version is going to have just about everything though (stumble by keyword, stumble news/video/pics/wiki/etc). That required some digging, but no "reverse engineering" so to speak. All you need to do is watch the HTTP response, it shows you everything that's going on.
All the SU developers have to do is modify their recommend.php page a bit, add maybe 10 lines of code, and they could make a toolbar in about 2 hours. They just don't want to. |
