Barefoot_Monkey: New update! Version 2.6.1 is available.
This is something that people have been asking about for years. I'm not sure how long it's been hiding there, but I discovered some data in the game product pages that allows me to display forum links on game cards :D
This feature is enabled by default. I've tested it on Greasemonkey/Firefox. I expect some issues moving it onto Chrome so the extension will have to wait a bit, but I'm hoping to have that sorted later today. Then see if I can get to the bottom of Melvinica's Scriptish/Seamonkey problem.
Two things to be aware of:
- For now I'm labelling every forum after the game (for example, "Fallout 2 Classic forum" instead of "Fallout Series forum") because I can't always reverse-engineer the forum's official name.
- Some games are pointed to the general forum in GOG's data for some reason. Lazy data capturing? ;) I see a way to work around that which will probably work most of the time - I'll add that in the next update.
Huge thanks and +1 for this!
I have a small request though - could you place the forum link above the GOGWiki one, please?
As it is now, for those also using AF, it's:
-- GOGWiki = external link
-- Forum = internal link
-- MaGog = external link
It doesn't affect functionality of course, just an OCD thing on my part. Still, I'd greatly appreciate if you put the forum link on top of the other two.
adaliabooks: I imagine so. I'm absolutely certain I've looked there (and in the version used in the angular data) and would have seen that.
Presumably Gog will be implementing there own version of the forum links soon then (I can't see why else they would have added that there). Nice that they seem to be implementing some requested features (between that and the reordering of the chats)
I'll hazard a guess that this appeared at the time "Games In Development" were introduced, because they place a game-forum link on the respective game pages.
