StumbleUpon.com Tools

Install bookmarklets

Version 0.2.12, All browsers

Install setups

Version 0.2.12, Opera browser

Official toolbar

Firefox and Internet Explorer

I apologize for the lack of any releases from our team. I can inform you that I've tried to get development of the main widget started again, but failed miserably. To make up for this I started a side project known as StumbleUpon.com tools. These are tools that attempt to reduce third party sign-in interfaces and use the StumbleUpon.com website more effectively in your browser.

Bookmarklets

Bookmarklets that speed up your use of the StumbleUpon website in any browser. Click the Install bookmarklets button to install.

Opera setups

A menu and a toolbar that speed up your use of the StumbleUpon website in the Opera web browser. Click the Install setups button, tick the Menu check box and click Download setup.

CSS fix for Opera 10

If you're using Opera 10, the StumbleUpon Web Toolbar frame might not display correctly. You can set the height manually by installing this user stylesheet:

Save this file.
Open the StumbleUpon Web Toolbar.
Right click and select Edit site preferences...
Go to the Display tab.
Choose the CSS file you downloaded under My style sheet.

About

These tools will be developed mainly by the My Opera StumbleUpon team and new tools for Opera will be released in the future.

You can find buttons and banners of more sizes here.

Thanks for the SU tool! Now I know someone cares about us!

Good work on this!

overly # 9. March 2009, 14:48

great job, thanks!

drlaunch # 25. March 2009, 18:06

I made some updates to the post. I think it looks better now.

drlaunch # 25. March 2009, 22:55

The download page for the setups was deleted from the server. It's up again now.

AleksOD # 27. March 2009, 20:03

Um... there are only three buttons in the Opera setup, right? This is a huge waste of vertical space, why not inlcude those buttons in the address bar or the tab bar?

And why does "Tools" button have only "Sign-in..." option and nothing else? It seems a bit pointless to me.

drlaunch # 27. March 2009, 20:17

Because it's version 0.1. The plan is to provide a toolbar and menu with a interface similar to the official toolbar in the end.

The tools menu is simply a placeholder until I add more items.

I'm going to add more bookmarklets and toolbar items next week.

Install the bookmarklets if you'd like to place the buttons anywhere without using an extra toolbar.

AleksOD # 28. March 2009, 21:56

I apologize, I may have been overly critical. I want to support this project as much as I can

drlaunch # 28. March 2009, 22:05

You can by doing promoting us.

drlaunch # 1. April 2009, 19:19

We just released version 0.2 of the tools. Install them using the buttons above.

Badass!

Uploaded 0.2 revision 12. This revision actually makes the channel surf buttons work.

Nerak # 3. April 2009, 21:57

Flippin' sweet!

Unfortunately, the rating buttons don't seem to work -- clicking them does nothing. (No output in the error console, either)

drlaunch # 6. June 2009, 13:00

The support forums are now open. Access them from StumbleUpon --> Tools --> Help.

Hi

Is this possible... a Thumbs-up toolbar button (with the blue SU thumb icon ;]) which when activated will, in the background, log-in and favourite the current page in focus.

Thanks

Edit: OK, I've managed to get a SU thumb button on my toolbar so now... does anyone know the script that will allow me to submit the current page to SU as a favourite... I've tried this command and parameter... but it don't work

Go to page, "http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=+document.URL+'&title='+document.title.replace(/%20/g,'+');"

I've no training in programming at all so any help really appreciated!

drlaunch # 24. October 2009, 18:00

I don't know JavaScript my self, either. But even so, I've written the entire Opera toolbar alone. If you need to rate the page, just use the "Rate it" link to enable the StumbleUpon web toolbar for the page.

The script fragment you posted will only submit the page. The rate it link will submit and enable the web toolbar. A instant thumbs up button lies beyond my knowledge though.

jkforde # 25. October 2009, 13:08

Thanks drlaunch, I'll give the RateIt button a try. If I find a way (or someone) to come up with an instant I Like It button I'll post here.

edit: combined the command from RateIt! with my ThumbUp button so happy days, very close to what I'm looking, thanks drlaunch
