[SOLVED] Chromium extension: Solved button for Arch Linux forums

Hi

So, this idea: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=108074 wasn't working out - I understand it's because of the weird design of fluxBB, it makes it hard to upgrade.

Therefor, I made a Chromium extension, that does the same.

What does it do?
It adds a "Solved" button, next to Report/Edit/Quote, when you click it you'll be taken to the normal edit screen, but this script will have appended a [SOLVED] text to your subject, and you can hit submit from there. It will however strip the subject down to 60 characters, to make space for [SOLVED], so you might want to check the subject if it's stripped anything important at the end, and rename it a bit.

It will check if you have access (very weird way) to edit the post you're visiting - if you don't, it won't add any solved link.

Also, this is my first extension. It uses the jQuery library for quick and dirty access to nodes.

Screenshots

Where do I get it?

How do I install it?
Well, it's not packed so you'll have to open Developer Tools, like described here: http://code.google.com/chrome/extension … arted.html (4 - Load the extension.).

Small update.

It now focuses the subject field, after applying the [SOLVED] text - this means you can now just hit ENTER and it'll submit. No scroll down to the bottom hitting submit button.
