4 Greasemonkey scripts for Tumblr that just blew my mind [UPDATED x 4]
UPDATE: Tumblr’s recent Dashboard redesign has broken some of the features of missing e. Will see if an update ever sees the light of day.
And I noticed that NinjaKit is broken in Safari 6. Haven’t seen an update/workaround for that. Anyone else?
——————————
UPDATE: The author of missing e and the Tumblr staff are involved in ongoing discussions that may result in certain functions, if not support for the entire extension, being dropped. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Just download the missing e browser extension for Tumblr here.
Works with Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
Does most, if not all of the functions below, and then some.
Amazing work by Jeremy Cutler.

Seriously.
May have peed a little.*
Tumblr should implement these tools natively pronto.
I’m using Safari 5.0.x on a Mac with the NinjaKit Extension and all four scripts work, though your mileage may vary with other setups.
The four are as follows:
Add a tumblr control button to reblog your own posts!
You could always do this manually:
Reblog yourself:
Go to the permalink page of the post, view the HTML source, at the bottom it will say <!— BEGIN TUMBLR CODE —> and then an iframe source which ends in “&rk=Ml5I4A6I” except that RK code is different every time. Copy the 8-digit code that comes after “rk=” and then in your address bar it will say something like http://*you*.tumblr.com/post/658445839/, replace “post” with “reblog” and then paste the 8-digit code after it, making “http://*you*.com/reblog/658445839/Ml5I4A6I” then hit enter. Reblog form should come up after that.
…but this is much easier.
2) Tumblr Upload Photo button for all posts Broken. I’ve contacted the author. We’ll see if a fix comes… Fixed!
Adds the “+ Upload Photo” option to all types of posts except chat.
This simply adds the “Upload Photo” button to posts besides text post, this allows you to add pictures that will be visible on other peoples’ dashboards, instead of showing up as the gray picture icon (which is what shows up if you use the picture button in the text editor).
The list of posts this adds the button to is:
Photo, Link, Quote (description only), Audio, Video, and messages, as well as reblogs and edits of all of the previous.
I’ve whined about this sort of thing recently here and here. Super psyched to find this one.
3) Tumblr Popup Editor (h/t just-chiara) Temperamental, in Safari, at least. Occasionally refreshes on its own in the middle of editing. Mrrr… Seems to work fine now…
Allows you to edit a post without loading a new page. Doesn’t take you away from the Dashboard or page that you’re on. It’s a faster way of editing typos and such.
Add an edit link for all tumblr posts (very useful for colaborative blogs)Problem: When you have many blogs (2+) on Tumblr, usually colaborative blogs, you lose the edit button.
Solution: Add an additional button to edit blog posts from colaborative blogs. This script works with http://(yourblog).tumblr.com by default, but you can add more URLs on Greasemonkey’s configuration
Use the following syntax in the configuration code for each additional blog you’d like to add:
@include http://[blog].tumblr.com/post/*
Huge help. Not having an edit button on a post means having to edit from a blog’s Dashboard. Unfortunately, Tumblr’s search sucks, and often doesn’t bring up the post that you’re looking for. You end up having to scroll back through pages of old posts from the Dashboard to find it, or scour through archives. Not elegant. Huge thanks to the author for this one.
The internet rules.
Have you found any others that you like?
You can go to userscripts.org and search for “Tumblr” to see what else comes up.
