Editable Reblogs Update 3.2.0

Many of you have noticed that Editable Reblogs has been having significant difficulties lately as a result of changes to Tumblr’s server-side code. Unfortunately, these changes have rendered ER’s current method of “imitating” Tumblr’s reblog structure impossible.

We have updated Editable Reblogs to 3.2.0 to restore functionality to some degree. However, as a result of these changes, ER at the moment can no longer exactly replicate the reblog structure on the dash; posts made using this update will render all posts in the reblog chain as a single blockquoted post instead of a series of them.

The XKit team is still actively working to find a way to make Editable Reblogs produce fully formatted posts; however, this interim measure should remove the issue of post content disappearing. The extension can, of course, be disabled at any time through the XKit preferences panel.

Thank you for your patience while we performed this update. As always, if you’re having any problems with New XKit, you can always stop by our support chat room and chat with the developers! There is generally someone there a lot of the time, but you might need to wait for a bit or come back later if no one responds. Other ways you can get in contact with the New Xkit team include sending an ask or submission to @new-xkit-support or by opening an issue on our Github issue tracker.

XKit fails to update: What’s going on?

Short answer: Everything is completely fine. All extensions are intact and the problem should fix itself soon.

Long story: Unfortunately, Github is affected by a massive DDoS attack right now and connections to it are intermittently failing. Since we use Github to host our update data and XKit may not be able to connect to it, this could temporarily affect the ability to download new extensions from the gallery or update existing ones. As soon as the DDoS attack stops and Github resumes its normal operation, XKit will work as usual once more.

As always, our inbox and chat room are open for those with support issues. Thanks!

Editable Reblogs Bug Currently Being Investigated

new-xkit-extension

Hello, everyone! We’re currently aware of an issue affecting users of Editable Reblogs (as of 2016-09-20) which is preventing the extension from working correctly, due to a change in how Tumblr handles submitted posts. We’re looking into possible resolutions for the situation and will post a further update when we have more information. Right now we recommend you disable Editable Reblogs until we can get the situation under control, otherwise Tumblr might accidentally corrupt your post.

As always, our inbox and chat room are open for those with support issues. Thanks!

This should be fixed now! This problem was fixed in Editable Reblogs version 3.1.1 as of Tuesday, 09/20. This might be a problem on-and-off for the next few days as we adjust to new Tumblr changes—we’ll keep you all up to date if ER breaks again.

If you’re not on 3.1.1 yet, you can go to XKit > Other > “Update all of my extensions” to get the new version!

As always, let us know if you have any issues!

Week in Review: August 12 - August 19

Hey everyone! nothing really big this week, but we fixed a few long-standing bugs so I wanted to keep you all updated

XKit Patches v6.4.2:

  • We fixed the lingering bug that broke uploading videos for a while. This was caused by fallout from the auto-playing video/audio disaster, but due to real life concerns it took a little bit before we had enough time to figure out what was going on (pull request #1136)

Anti-Capitalism v1.4.0

  • We added a new option to hide the “Watch on Yahoo View” links that have started showing up recently. (pull request #1135)

Show Picture Size v1.0.3

  • Fixed a bug which causes stacking of picture size labels in the upper right corner for photo-sets, and another so that we now only hide the label for the currently hovered photo instead of all labels in a photo-set post (pull request #1123)

[new!!] Vanilla Audio v0.2.0

  • Thanks to contributor @akunohomu, we now have an extension that supplements the standard tumblr audio player with a less buggy one. This is a complement to our existing Vanilla Videos extension, but is also much more useful individually given the unreliability of tumblr’s default audio player. Go grab it from the xkit gallery!

That’s all for this week! And as always, if you’re having any problems with New XKit, you can always stop by our helpful support chat room and chat with the developers! There is generally someone there a lot of the time, but you might need to wait for a bit or come back later if no-one responds. Other ways you can get in contact with the new xkit team include sending an ask or submission to @new-xkit-support or by opening an issue on our github

invisible audio: the final reckoning

new-xkit-extension

hey everyone! as of tonight we’ve pushed an update that should fix autoplaying audio/video in all of the situations that it occurs, whether triggered by Anti-Capitalism, Blacklist, or another third-party tool. thanks for sticking with us while we trudge waist deep together through the mire of code that comprises Tumblr. trust me—this was truly a sticky bug to unravel.

This update is part of XKit Patches version 6.4.0. You can update XKit Patches using the “Update All” button:

get at us with your feedback! we’re real humans with schedules and sleep cycles and occasionally jobs and stuff, but you can generally reach us in our ask box, our support blog, or our live support chat room. If nobody is online, you always can leave a message for us to read later.

Just a reminder because these posts are spreading farther then our usual audience: We’re a team of developers that run and maintain the New XKit project, a fork of XKit that was started after the original was abandoned in late 2014. New XKit is on version 7.7.1 (chrome, opera), 7.7.3 (firefox), or 7.7.2 (safari). Anything earlier then 7.6.x is old/original XKit, and you’ll need to disable it to install New XKit. (You can migrate your settings, but it’s a little involved—disable for now, and come ask us about it later)

some quick links for those of you who might not have New XKit already:

(quick plug again—If you’re interested in helping us run New XKit, for example by contributing code, answering asks or helping other users with questions + problems, come stop by and introduce yourself! we don’t bite, we promise!)

intrusive audio ads

If you’ve been active on tumblr lately, you may notice that they’ve started running a new type of ad in the right-hand sidebar unit. Specifically, there’s been an uptick in ads that auto-play loud audio, some of which are even un-mutable.

We’ve addressed this in Anti-Capitalism version 1.3.0, which adds a new option:

image

(small mea culpa: the naming here is slightly confusing. this will *always* remove the sidebar ad, even if it doesn’t happen to be one that plays audio, because we don’t have the ability to distinguish between them. the other difference is that it does it in a way that also takes care of the audio-visual component instead of just hiding the ad, like some adblockers have been doing)

(EDIT: yes, you’ll have to refresh the page after installing the extension/enabling the option. It sounds like this might also conflict with other ad-blockers, so let us know if you have any issues and/or try disabling other adblockers first and see if that fixes the problem)

EDIT 2: as of 7/26, conflicts with other extensions or ad blockers should no longer be an issue.

let us know what you think! I’m probably going to be going to bed soon, but you can always reach us in our ask box, our support blog, or our live support chat. In general the dev team has less time to reply to asks nowadays because of both real-life obligations and the sheer quantity of asks we receive, so you’ll generally have a better time with the support chat, if you can catch one of us online. If nobody is online, you always can leave a message for us to read later. thanks for understanding!

(one last plug—If you’re interested in helping us run New XKit, for example by answering asks or helping other users with questions + problems, come stop by and introduce yourself! we don’t bite, we promise!)

Recent XKit Updates: May 29

    • v2.9.0: Preserve links in Blacklist. Blacklist now reads the links in posts. For example, add goo.gl* to your filters to eradicate 90% of spam spam spam spam spam spammity spam! Many thanks to community contributor PalanteJon for their work in producing this update.
  • Hermes
    • v1.2.2: Fix performance issues and caption deletion. Hermes now unloads the images and media of each post once. It also does not delete each post’s caption. These provide 20% more speed per speed and 100% more caption per caption.
  • Profiler
    • v1.2.2: Fix parsing error in Profiler. Profiler now actually works instead of displaying an error. Knowledge is power, especially when that knowledge is about blogs.
  • One-Click Postage
  • Go-To-Dash
  • Retags
    • v1.0.6: Add a new API key. For a few hours, Retags was completely broken and everyone was seeing 401 errors everywhere. Normally we’d say blame Tumblr, but to be honest we have no idea why the old API key stopped working.

quick note

Hey everybody! A few quick notes on behind the scenes stuff:

  • Old Sidebar (formerly estufar’s sidebar fix before it was contributed to New XKit proper) broke yesterday due to some code changes on Tumblr’s end. We’ve gotten it squared away now, so if you’re still seeing weird behavior with the account menu/sidebar, try “Updating All” in the Other tab of the XKit menu. Go give @estufar some props for the quick fix!
  • Seems like Tumblr is having some intermittent API availability issues today. Accordingly, some extensions that rely on tumblr API data may not work or may return errors. We’ve confirmed issues with Retags, Blog Tracker, and a few others. Nonetheless, if you see something, do make sure to come and report it! We’re a little behind on answering asks as most of the devs are currently inactive due to school/RL stuff, so the best way to report an issue is to hop in our support chat and leave a message. Even if we can’t respond right away (notifications for chat on our end can be a little laggy sometimes), we’ll definitely see the message eventually.

thanks for sticking with us! I know the past few months we’ve been pretty dead. Hopefully with summer starting we’ll all have more time to work on stuff :D
