Hello everyone! A new version of UCBSE has been uploaded. To install, go here ([UC Berkeley Schedule Enhancer (UCBSE) for Greasemonkey](Dance Party)) and click “Install”.

Here is a screenshot of the new version: http://i.imgur.com/GoGgd.jpg

Here are the changes:

Fixed course descriptions link

Added highlighted courses table

Lecture sections are not the only ones highlighted now. Sections that are primary, which are indicated by a “P”, are also highlighted.



Also, the column width decreases when I check “maximize table” other than that, I love the new configuration menu. Thanks so much.



Sometimes that happens once and a while, but if you refresh the page, everything should reconfigure and come out correctly even if it the opposite of what it’s supposed to do.



Question: when I install an extension in chrome, it notifies me of the data that extension will be able to access. For this script, it says “It can access: Your data on all websites”. Isn’t that a bit much?



By default, Chrome gives you that message whenever you install any extension. UCBSE accesses data only on http://osoc.berkeley.edu/OSOC and nothing else. If you are really paranoid and think all your data is getting sent to me, then you can check out the source code at github here (https://github.com/athk/UCBSE) and verify for yourself that I don’t see any of your data. lol.



A couple heads-up:

-not sure if this is intentional, but I can click into the CCN and change it. i’m on the latest release of chrome
-i was experimenting and noticed that i can toggle the highlighting of a course/section by clicking the empty space to the left of its row. that’s a great feature! maybe i missed it, but you should make a note of that instruction somewhere. also on that note, it might be helpful to some users if simple key codes were given, to explain briefly what [E], **, [K], etc will do.



Yes, you can click into the CCN and change it if you want, but I don’t recommend it. You can also toggle highlighting of a course by click on the empty space on the left. It was intentional. I made the feature more obvious by putting it into the key.



I am unfortunately using Safari. Going to switch back to Firefox the minute they make it work with Lion full-screen… It’s not working for all the courses I’m looking up, which is strange - I’ve tried Physics 7B (68958), Linguis 130 (52365), Chem 105 (11364).



Safari will never be supported unless you buy me a mac or tell me how to get greasemonkey working on Safari for Windows. It’s unfortunate it dosen’t work in safari though.



Great work on everything! However, the link to the General Catalog descriptions is not longer working.



Fixed it!
