I’m making a firefox extension to compile a bunch of GA user scripts together and was wondering if I could get permission from you to add this script to the extension?

Let me know,
Thanks,
Erik Vold

Originally the script was just 3 lines:

if (!window.location.href.match(/ns=/))
{
if (!window.location.href.match(/\?/)) {window.location.href = window.location.href + ‘?ns=100′;}
else {window.location.href = window.location.href + ‘&ns=100′;}
}

The current code with the loop was added after Andre (see comments) pointed out that my version would redirect even if the account had 10 or fewer profiles.

Grabbing the form by name and going from there is certainly more elegant. You might be interested also in checking out Jeremy’s approach — he incorporated the idea into GA report enhancer (see comments).

When I get some time I’ll plan to revise the script with your improvement.

Thanks for the feedback.

To check if the current setting is ’show 10 rows’, currently you are looping through every link on the page until you find the next link. Instead I’m going to suggest this:

var tempIndex = 0;

// find the form named ‘length’
for(var i = tempIndex; i < document.forms.length; i++){
if( document.forms[ i ].name == “length” ){
tempIndex = i;

break;
}
}

// grab the form
var tempForm = document.forms[ tempIndex ];

// grab the form’s one and only select box.
var tempSelect = tempForm.getElementsByTagName(’select’)[0];

if( tempSelect.options[ tempSelect.selectedIndex ].value == “10″ ){
// do url change here.
}

What do you think?

Erik.

I’ll try to get those changes in today. I think you’ve now done more work on this script than I have.

I’ll also mention that Jeremy at ROI Revolution has incorporated this idea into his GA Report Enhancer greasemonkey script. Anyone who is interested can take a look at what he’s doing at

1. When I click “edit” next to a specific filter I go to the edit page. The script automatically redirects me to the ns=100 version, but that isn’t necessary. I changed the seconde if statement to this:

if (foundNext = 1 && !window.location.href.match(/ns=/) && !window.location.href.match(/rid=/))

2. Because of the reload function in the script the back button functionality gets broken, you have to click it twice if you want to navigate back. You can fix this by replacing the location.href function with location.replace. The last one replaces the url and removes the old one from the browsers history. So if you click on the back button you will navigate the right way:

if (!window.location.href.match(/\?/)) {window.location.replace(window.location.href + ‘?ns=100′) ;}
else {window.location.replace(window.location.href + ‘&ns=100′);}

HTH

Nice addition, now it’s complete.

Ps. You need to change this line:

if (foundNext = 1 && !window.location.href.match(/ns=/))

to:

if (foundNext == 1 && !window.location.href.match(/ns=/))

I modified your code slightly, and I plan to update the hosted script. Here’s what I have:

atags = document.getElementsByTagName(”a”);
var foundNext = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < atags.length; i++)
{
if (atags[i].href.match(/sn=11/)){ foundNext = 1; break;}
}

if (foundNext = 1 && !window.location.href.match(/ns=/))
{
if (!window.location.href.match(/\?/)) {window.location.href = window.location.href + ‘?ns=100′;}
else {window.location.href = window.location.href + ‘&ns=100′;}
}

I appreciate you taking the time. I’m going to update my script and try it out now.
