power-user-script

User script for your browser, to empower Open Food Facts contribution. Power User Script is a kind of laboratory, to explore new features before they can get into Open Food Facts.

Some features:

• keyboard shortcuts to different pages: product edition (e), product JSON (a), view mode (v), etc.
• styling improvements via CSS: barcode highlighted, fields highlighted, etc.
• show/hide barcode
• show/hide helpers
• sidebar quick links: page translation, category translation, Recent Changes, Hunger Game...
• inline edit of ingredients
• information enhancements beside barcode number: links to Google search, Open Beauty Facts, etc.
• information enhancements in the confirmation page: product issues, going further, etc.
• recent changes filter (filter as you type)
• etc. See complete list in the "changelog" or directly in JS code

Install

To run userscripts it's best to have a script manager installed. Userscript managers are available as browser extensions:

• Greasemonkey – works with Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
• Tampermonkey – works with Chrome, Safari, Firefox and other browsers - http://tampermonkey.net/

Choose an appropriate manager and install it according to the requirements of your browser.

Once your script manager is installed you can go to https://github.com/openfoodfacts/power-user-script/blob/master/OpenFoodFactsPower.user.js

Just click on the Raw button and your script manager will ask you if you want to install the script.
