Orkut Script: One-Click Scrapbook, Album & Add to Friend-List Links!

This script is to ease orkut navigation. It basically adds three hyperlinked letters near every profile link:

  • [S] for Scrapbook Link
  • [A] for Album Link
  • [F] for Add to Friend List Link

Here is the screenshot…

Orkut_Easy_Navigation_links

It may look little bit cluttered but I am using this script from more than a year. Only thing I forgot to post about this on this blog.

Unlike other scripts which opens pop-up containing scrapbook, album and other useful links whenever you right click on any image linking to orkut users profile, this script doesn’t show any popup! Also if you have noticed it takes only one-click to open any users scrapbook, album and friend request page.

Installation:

OR

Helper Script: Auto Confirm friend request – Highly useful with [F] links generated by this script. More details are here.

Bypassing Orkuts Image Verification while Sending Images!

orkut_image_verification

Many users of Scrap All Script had problem sending images with script! Problem is if you have image hosted on third-party server orkut turns on image verification (called CAPTCHA) which script can not bypass!

So here are steps to bypass orkuts image verification while sending images…

  1. Save image on your PC first. (If image is located somewhere else online download it to your PC)
  2. Go to any orkut your scrapbook. There is a button add photo beside button post scrap
  3. Click on add photo button their. That will open a wizard to add photo to scrapbook as shown in screenshot below.
  4. Click Browse button and select image from PC.
  5. Next click Upload Picture button.
  6. When uploading is done you will see a URL in scrapbook text box.
  7. Copy the above URL and paste it in Scrap All scripts text area. The image will be sent without any problem.

orkut_add_photo_to_scrapbook

Also next time while scrapping you can click on link Picasa Web Albums directly as shown in above screenshot to insert images directly from Googles Server. Every image you sent this way is saved online into Picasa Web Albums.

Image verification has gone because your image is hosted on Googles server. Please do not confuse this with breaking of orkut CAPTCHA or breaking of image verification. 🙂

Auto-Confirm Friend Requests on Orkut!

say_yesThis is one of the oldest script I have created and used on Orkut. Just today only I came to know that I never posted about this!

Anyway technically its simplest script I have ever written.

#What it does?

Whenever you add someone to your friend list on orkut or approve any pending friend request, orkut takes you to a confirmation page showing two options!

Case 1: Adding someone to your friend List!

Orkut_Add_friend

Case 2: Accepting a pending friend request!

Orkut_accept_friend

Now all this script does is it clicks on send button in Case 1 and accept button in Case 2!  Thus automatically confirming the action positively and redirect you to the next page!

facebook_block_all_apps

But Kenshiro, Kiljaeden and few users wanted similar button for blocking all applications.

If you are not familiar with blocking application…

ADVERTISEMENT

you can visit any applications facebook page to block that application from using your information. This amongst the other things prevent application to send further add request to you.

Some really evil applications forces their existing users to invite other users in order to access or unlock important features they provide. As an example many quiz application let user take quiz directly but forces user to invite friends before he can proceed to results. Thus increasing spam!

Now back to topic!

This script adds two buttons as shown in above screenshot on facebook requests page.

ADVERTISEMENT
  • Block ALL Only button: This blocks all application found on request page but does not ignore pending requests. So if you choose to confirm any of pending request, you can still proceed to add that application. Note that adding any blocked application will unblock them automatically.
  • Block & Ignore ALL button: This blocks all application found on request page and ignores pending requests!

 

Installation:

OR

Quick FAQ:

Q: I just want to Ignore ALL request without blocking applications?

Ans. Use Ignore All button script which adds only ignores the applications.

Q: OMG! I blocked an application I wanted to use. How to unblock it!

Ans: Go to this facebook privacy page and you will see blocked application list.  Just click on remove links next to individual applications you want to unblock. Press Save to confirm changes. (see screenshot below)

Many of you has your own blog and to make it more intresting, you usually add videos from YouTube. But when you embed a video in your blog it does not start automatically. Many a times you wanted to start it automatically, but there was no option to do so. I have created a hack to autoplay YouTube Videos in your blogs and websites.

This is an example of your YouTube html code:

Now just add the param “&autoplay=1” as shown below:

Organize Photos into Album on Orkut – New Feature!

After revising photo upload limits to 100 next thing everyone wanted is a way to manage photos nicely! Orkut answered your call and now you can group your photos into different albums like my vacation album, new year party pics, birthday snaps, …

So when you click photos link now you will see following…

image

 

Just choose a title and description, your album will be ready. Next you will be taken to screen where you can upload pics into it! Uploading is the same old process. I was expecting a java applet like facebook provides.

Final album will look like this…

image

After creating a album things you can customize anytime are

  • Album cover
  • Name of album i.e. title
  • Album description
  • Of course photos inside album!

One feature orkut should have given is to move photos between album. As of now if you have uploaded lots of photos on orkut on different topics, you can not move them just into different albums. You have to download them first to hard drive, then upload them again different album!

Anyway something nice from orkut after their scrapbook and album hacks!
