Gmail 2.0 for Opera

Gmail 2.0 for Opera

http://futurama.googlepages.com/gmail_2_fix.js

This script makes the new version of Gmail work in Opera 9.5 (and "somewhat" in Opera 9.24).

Give it a whirl and let me know if you run into any bugs! Once you have the user JS installed, you can login to Gmail 2.0 here: http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2

I couldn't use Gmail 2.0 in Opera. The link changes to ui=1 even after I installed the script.

Are you using US English for the language?

Yes.

Can you login to Gmail 2.0 in Firefox?

You all will probably have to enable userjs to run on https ( opera:config#UserPrefs|UserJavaScriptonHTTPS ). Also, make sure your browser.js file is updated.

Seems to work fine here with opera 9.5 beta build 9681.

The script seems to be pretty stable on my machine, but I've heard reports from others about random JS errors and things not working unless you reload. Please reply and let me know if you run into any of those problems!

Also, I forgot to mention that there are a few known issues with the rich text editor. The "highlight" tool highlights too much stuff (it highlights the parent element of the selected text instead of just the selected text), the "quote" tool acts weird if you don't have any text selected, and the bulleted list stuff is iffy. Most of these bugs are due to Google putting Opera down IE's codepath (they have checks that are basically like "if (firefox||webkit) { standards code } else { ie code}"), and hopefully these will be fixed by Google soon...

Silly me. I forgot to enable UserJS for mail.google.com.

It's working fine now. Could you make the script switch to the new interface automatically if the old one is launched?

I'd only make this optional. If you decide to do this then you should make a var at the top of the script for preferences, etc. Sometimes I switch between the two.

I could make it use a cookie to do this.

I think a simple var at the top would be easiest to turn on and off. Also what about the accounts that don't have it and you'll end up in an infinite loop.

Hi

Just like drlaunch, I'm also unable to make the JS work (even though I see you now discovered your problem).

My Opera is set to allow User JS, also allow it on https, I've added mail.google.com to the site preferences page & even restarted Opera! The ?ui=2 is still reset to ?disablechatbrowsercheck=1 when logging in.

Any suggestions? Using XP SP2, Opera 9.5 beta & language is set to UK English.

I believe US English is required

After i set US English and UserJS, Gmail2 started to work in 9681 Windows build. Everything seems to work now: chat, composing mail, new 'contacts'. Had no visible problems at all working in it for 10 minutes, except for 'selection' glitches which i believe are Opera's fault.

Though there were numerous error in error console: 'window object not found' and 'incorrect null value for height CSS-property' but they were harmless as i see.

The "undefined window" bug is an Opera bug, but it doesn't break anything. (It is thrown from an event handler in browser.js)

The CSS errors are because Google is not well known for making validating HTML/CSS :-)

I ocasionally get JS errors in Gmail 2.0, but no more than I get when I use it in Firefox...

If you guys really want to stress test Gmail, try setting it to show 100 messages per page and just click randomly between different views ("inbox"/"chat"/etc) while also clicking randomly on messages in those views. Be sure to try switching to a different view, then opening a message in the current view before the new view loads. You may get JS errors when you do this (which is normal and reproducable on Firefox), but Gmail should not become "unresponsive" and require a reload to become functional again.

I've been having problems labelling new mails. If I try to add a message to an existing label a new label is instead created with the same name.

Anyone else seeing this?

Try in Firefox and make sure it works there.

Does the problem persist if you reload?

Thanks fearphage. Setting gMail to US English did the trick! This is great, since Opera is my favourite browser and the gMail problem has always been a pain. Cheers!

Fixed.

Thanks for the script. Google's policy to discriminate Opera is really annoying.

Only one minor issue: horizontal scrollbar is always shown, even if there's nothing to scroll through.

Known issue (Opera bug)...

bug numbers are nice when/if you know them.

The script now adds a checkbox to the Gmail login page to enable the new version.
(Note: This only works if you have user JS enabled for SSL in opera:config#UserPrefs|UserJavaScriptonHTTPS )

Gmail 2.0 isn't too bad on my CPU when I have it in a background tab (Opera usually hovers around 15% CPU). Google Reader has been killing my CPU lately, though (it pushes Opera to 50%, which is as high as it will get on my dual-core processor).

Thank you for taking the time to create and maintain this script.

Seems i can't 'Edit label'. When i press this link (green 'Labels' block on the left) all i get is some error in console:

JavaScript - http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&view=bsp
Event thread: click
Error:
name: Error
message: %152

thanks guys! who-ever is responsible for this script! I now almost NEVER have to use another browser...

Seems to work for me. Can you reproduce the problem after reloading Gmail? Also does the label's name have any unusual characters?

I've updated the script (same download URL: http://futurama.googlepages.com/gmail_2_fix.js )

The "highlight text" feature in the rich text editor should now work. Also, the "quote" feature should be less buggy (but still not perfect...).

Yes!! That Working....

Gmail 2.0 currently only works if you set your Gmail account to US English (Google has not rolled it out to other languages yet).

Works nicely
Thanks.

This is all great work by you guys who know js really well.

What I wonder, though, how easily opera will be able to fix this in the next beta build of 9.50 - hopefully easy peasy if you guys can do it via a script hack.

Hi all,

I downloaded Opera today and I all ready love it.
The only problem I have is when I click on any hyperlinked email address, a Gmail compose window will not open so I can send a message to that address from Gmail.

Please help

Ps. I hope I am at the right place because for the life of me I could not start a topic:doh:

You always have more than one way to do a thing in Opera. Here are two possible ways to tackle your issue:

# http://my.opera.com/Rijk/blog/2006/07/11/mailto-to-webmail

# Try this UserJS GmailTo.js

Here's another webmail compose script (and 3 others mentioned in the file, with BeforeMailtoURL.js being my newest one). I use them to test my mailto uri spec and to test conformance with Thunderbird's parsing etc.

Thank you all:jester:
My problem was solved by goiing:
1)tools
2)prefereces
3)advanced
4)edit - mailto
5)open with defult application
6)and if you have gmail notifier the command is there:up:

That's what I said. In Opera you have multiple alternatives to do a single thing. That is what we call choice.

Is it just for once or always?
Mine is working fine.

I see it for a few days already. Also, i've deleted cache and dialog still pops up in unexpected places.

Which version of Opera are you using?
Also make sure that you have the latest version of the script installed.

Latest build available: Windows, 9694.

That was it. I've updated the script, and it's ok now.

Thanks.

Neither of these work for me (using Linux). Using the custom email program gives me "Bad Request Error 400" from Gmail while the user js infinitely asks me "This form is being submitted via e-mail, revealing your name and e-mail address to the recipient. Do you want to continue?" question.

Latest Linux build - 1719.

I am not very sure if it works different in Linux. It works perfect on my Windows machine with 9.5 beta. Give me some time to do some research on it. Will be back soon.
