Switch Issues & Workarounds

Share:

Many players have been reporting that their Switch bookmarklet is not working [1]. The culprit seems to be Timeline removal tools which are still very popular. As Facebook makes changes many of these tools cause things to not work. If you find you are unable to to switch a players profile from Facebook to Mafia Wars, using the Switch bookmarklet, try disabling your Timeline remover. The Switch bookmarklet can be found here. If you are unable to cut the umbilical cord and learn Timeline, try the Super Switch bookmarklets by Brandon Venery as they seem to be working fine. Super Switch will add a MW link and the modified ID Version will add a MW link and FB ID number next to any persons Facebook name. See below for instructions on how to install and use these tools.


Below is a reprint of the Super Switch file written by Brandon Venery for the Script Mod Group.

"Super switch" shows both MW and FB links. Bookmark the full text below and click when on any fb page...

Script:  

javascript:(function(){ var names = document.getElementsByClassName('actorName'); for(var i = 0,len = names.length;i<len;i++){ var a = names[i].firstChild; var b = names[i].innerHTML; var m; if(a && !/\(MW\)/.test(b)){ if(m = /user.php\?id=([0-9]+)/.exec(b)){ names[i].innerHTML = b+'<a href=\'http://apps.facebook.com/inthemafia/track.php?next_controller=stats&next_action=view&next_params=%7B"user"%3A"'+m[1]+'"%7D\' target=\'new\'>(MW)</a>'; } } if(m = /user.php\?id=([0-9]+)/.exec(names[i].getAttribute('data-hovercard'))){ if(names[i].parentNode.childNodes[1].innerText == '(MW)'){continue;} var an = document.createElement('a'); an.href = 'http://apps.facebook.com/inthemafia/track.php?next_controller=stats&next_action=view&next_params=%7B"user"%3A"'+m[1]+'"%7D'; an.target = 'new'; an.class = 'testing'; an.innerText = '(MW)'; names[i].parentNode.insertBefore(an, names[i].parentNode.childNodes[1]); } } })();

Modified ID Version:

javascript: (function () { var names = document.getElementsByClassName('actorName'); for (var i = 0, len = names.length; i < len; i++) { var a = names[i].firstChild; var b = names[i].innerHTML; var m; if (a && !/\(MW\)/.test(b)) { if (m = /user.php\?id=([0-9]+)/.exec(b)) { names[i].innerHTML = b + '<a href=\'http://apps.facebook.com/inthemafia/track.php?next_controller=stats&next_action=view&next_params=%7B"user"%3A"' + m[1] + '"%7D\' target=\'new\'>(MW) '+m[1]+'</a>'; } } if (m = /user.php\?id=([0-9]+)/.exec(names[i].getAttribute('data-hovercard'))) { if (names[i].parentNode.childNodes[1].innerText == '(MW)') { continue; } var an = document.createElement('a'); an.href = 'http://apps.facebook.com/inthemafia/track.php?next_controller=stats&next_action=view&next_params=%7B"user"%3A"' + m[1] + '"%7D'; an.target = 'new'; an.class = 'testing'; an.innerText = '(MW) '+m[1]; names[i].parentNode.insertBefore(an, names[i].parentNode.childNodes[1]); } } })();

When you go to the Pound wall (or any war page with people making posts) just hit the Super Switch. By every persons name you will see this (MW). Hit that and goes directly to their MW profile. No need to go to their wall. Eliminates a step~!
