Creating a "developer view" of the drupal.org issue queue

You can use JavaScript and CSS in your browser to override the default display of drupal.org. Most web browsers support the use of CSS overrides to change the style of a site. As well, browsers such as Opera, or Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension, allow JavaScript code to modify a web page after it has been loaded. This page contains information about useful modifications to drupal.org which, while not suitable for the general public, are useful for developers who spend a significant amount of time on the drupal.org issue queue.

Setting up your browser for user scripting

• For Firefox, install the Greasemonkey extension.
• For Opera, read the Opera tutorial and use the built in user scripting functionality.
• For Safari, install GreaseKit.

Working with Drupal issues

Insert drupal.org issue links

This script makes three modifications to the display of a Drupal issue:

1. Adds the issue number to the issue title, and transform it into a link for easy copying to other sites where rich text editors might be in use or to other programs which understand links in a clipboard.
2. Adds a plain text anchor tag to the issue suitable for copying into a comment, below the issue title. It's in a fairly standard format [issue number]: [issue title].
3. Adds a plain-text anchor tag below each comment in an issue, for linking to a specific comment. The format is [issue number]: [issue title] ([comment number]).

The script is available at the userscripts.org site, where the newest version will always be available. A version current as of this writing is also attached to this page. For Firefox, the script requires at least Firefox 3. Opera 9.5 and Safari should work, though they are currently untested.
