Nice script.
But you also can get the complete group list of the logged user with a flickrAPI call.
You can use this chunk of script:
var gl = new Object();
gl.flickr_groups_pools_getGroups_onLoad = function (success, responseXML, responseText )
{
var result = new Object();
var xmlGroup = xml.getElementsByTagName('group');
var group = new Array();
for(x=0;x<xmlGroup.length;x++)
{
group[group.length]= { nsid: xmlGroup.item(x).getAttribute('id'),
id: xmlGroup.item(x).getAttribute('id'),
name: xmlGroup.item(x).getAttribute('name'),
admin: xmlGroup.item(x).getAttribute('admin'),
privacy: xmlGroup.item(x).getAttribute('privacy'),
photos: xmlGroup.item(x).getAttribute('photos')
};
}
this.result= group;
// Now HERE you can use this.result array to build your select combo with all the user groups
//GM_log( this.result[0].id + ' ' + this.result[0].name );
};
flickrAPI.callMethod('flickr.groups.pools.getGroups', {}, gl );

grebo_guru + skinnyde + gustavo glad you like the script.
gustavo, yes, i was aware that its possible :) but if you subscribe to a lot of groups, it might add an extra bit of a delay to the page loading, on top of all the other lovely GM scripts and the 100k or so of Flickr JS+HTML :)
feel free to customise the script anyway you want though :) and thanks for the code :)
another idea i had for a future version, was some more options, to aid in general photo commenting.
1) an option that adds a random comment from the surrealist compliment generator.
2) an option that adds a random fortune cookie
3) an option that adds a random famous quotation
4) an option that adds a random joke
stuff like that :)

thats true. maybe the combo can be populated at request. like the "send to group" button. So, you can add comments in a normal way, and ask for group list whenever you want.
I'll check about it.

I love you steeev, and I freakin' hate this script. :) I hate waking up in the morning to a bunch of faux-comments from people I don't know who don't really care about my pictures, who just want to flog their groups and are too lazy to be sincere and/or articulate about it. People who use this script a lot get blocked. Meh.
Did I mention I love you? :)
Peace,

i noticed, that the bookmarklets for delete me! don't work properly, if your script is installed and enabled.
no action needed on you site i think, just FYI.
and, of course, great script. thank you.

the instructions for editing the script are within the script itself.
you just need to open the script in a text editor (eg notepad if you are using windows) and replace the text in between each "commentarr.push(" and ");" to match the names and urls of the groups you want to promote and your own choice of comments. once you have edited it to your liking save the file then open the file in firefox and select tools/install user script. job done.

if it has saved it with a .txt extension, simply rename the file using the file manager and give it a .js extension and as fgt says, it probably wont work in FF 1.5 it does however work in FF 1.07 with GM 0.35

I updated the Group Promotion tool from Steeev to:
1- enable the quick superlative comment (that was already in the code but commented)
2- add a list of quicktag for commenting when you come from a "promotion" group like 1-2-3 or play tag.
If steeev is happy with that, I'll post it.

hum, do you prefer me to send it to you so you keep it in the same place, or (as its now a bit different), I keep it separated from your version?

it just dawned on me, that this script can not only be used to encourage people to post their images to your group, you could also use it to thank people for posting their images to your group if they have already posted there.

@ingrid have a look here: diveintogreasemonkey.org/helloworld/editing.html
the first time u click the edit button in the tools/manage user scripts window, you may need to associate a text editor with that button.
it should popup a file dialog, asking you to select the editor program you want to use. if you are using windows 2000 you can enter the following:
c:\winnt\system32\notepad.exe
i dont know if its the same on win xp or what values to use if you are using a different operating system.
update: if you are using windows XP, you can enter the following
C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe
btw if you are not presented with the option to select an editor mentioned above, you can edit the greasemonkey settings directly, using the following method.
type
"about:config"
in the browser's address bar
then type "greasemonkey"
in the filter bar
(all without quote marks)
then you will see the first line should say greasemonkey.editor
double click on that, then enter the path name to your editor,
eg if you are using windows 2000 the path name would be
C:\WINNT\system32\notepad.exe
or if you are using windows XP the path name would be
C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe
i dont know what it is for other operating systems.

Thank you so much for this wonderful script! I have modified it for invitations to some of the Invite Only groups I belong to but some of the groups are now using a graphic in the invitation. I have not been able to make these work.
Is it possible to modify the script so the graphics can be inserted? What would the template be to do that?
Also the comment feature does not seem to work. Is there something I need to change to enable it. I am using ver 0.4 (04-May-06)
Thanks for your help!

i'd be careful about that .. some people don't like graphics posted in their comments unless they pertain directly to the photo at hand.

@birdyboo, you might want to have a look to the two scripts:
- GM Script: Invite photos to the group
- GM Script: Quick Comments
They might provide solutions to what you are looking for.

this script will not pull up the one group that I am administrator of..
Does this have something to do with the fact that I am a co-amin

I like adding a comment before I add the invitation, but when I hit the button it wipes what I have already written and only has the invite.
Is there a way to have the invite just added to the bottom?

I really like this script. I use it frequently. My question is: can you only link to Flickr groups, or can you link to an external website? For instance, I'd like to have a script to let people know I've blogged their photo.
Thanks!

cheleit doesnt automatically pull up any groups, you need to manually edit the script.
tux you could always write your comment after you have added the invitation.
linda yes i think you should be able to put any links to any websites in the script.

Hey, steeev, I just recently found this group and love it! But I'm not a programmer or script writer. Zip experience. But I think this script would be fantastic. I've opened it in Notepad and did some editing and saved it. But this has me stumped: "then open the file in firefox and select tools/install user script. job done. " Could you please explain this further for a novice? Thanks so much!

I thought it was a wonderful script too! I installed it last night and was exstatic about all the time I had saved inviting photos from my contacts to groups.
The I woke up this morning with a full flick mail box from my contacts saying that their photos were rejected from certain groups & deleted from the pool! So I am uninstalling the script.
Here's a copy of the message a group admin for Flickr Diamond left on one of my contacts photos after deleting it from the pool:
Greetings, I am one of the Moderators in the Flicker Diamond Group. Please note that in our group, all photos must receive an invite before being posted to the pool. Please would you mind read our Group Rules.
Our Invite Pool Sweepr software was not able to detect an invite comment on this image and automatically has removed the photo from our pool and this may not have been reviewed by a human. This not means that your photo is not worthy of our group. If you think your picture should get an invite to our group please you may post your picture on a thread located here.
Sometimes images are invited with incorrectly copied code, or due to some server glitch the Sweepr program doesn't see the invite. If you feel this image has been removed in error, we certainly apologize and please contact one of the group Admins or Moderators listed here.
Feel free to delete this comment once you have read it.
Thank you
Maybe you should re-write the script making the invitations look like they do on the group's pages, with the icons and all so they don't get rejected.

Anna_Greece, may be you should try the Quick Comment Script that gives you more control over the content of the automatic messages.

Mortimer,
Thanks !!!!
I copied & pasted the invitation codes & comment codes for the groups I wanted to the quick comment script.
Problem solved. Works just fine & saves me a heck of a lot of time!

I know that I may offend with this comment, but to me, group promotion comments are spam. That they are created in a second without the consent of the user makes them worse. Please consider that some of your fellow Flickrers may consider your comments annoying.
