I took this idea from the Aetolia forums. "Indiana" from there wrote a MUSH version that simply votes as and when needed.
The link to the original thread is here.
Having improved on it slightly, (added some Mudlet niceness) I am in a position to offer it here.

As the original script is for Aetolia, there has obviously been a slight modification and it has been hosted on Google Code.

Any problem with this, let me know.

Simply make a new trigger that will match on:


Vote here: http://www.ironrealms.com/irex/tmsvote.php?id=lusternia


Set the trigger type to exact match.

Containing the script:



openUrl("http://www.lusternia.com/vote")


hasMonkeyScript = io.open(getMudletHomeDir() .. "/gotScript", "r")
if not hasMonkeyScript then
openUrl("http://bwl.googlecode.com/files/autovote.user.js")
io.output(io.open(getMudletHomeDir() .. "/gotScript", "w"))
io.write("got")
io.close()
end


Enjoy!

EDIT: I should mention, you will need to download Greasemonkey for Firefox for this to work
Those of us using Chrome/Chromium are all good to go. We support monkey scripts already.

Neat. Added. It would be even neater if there was a plugin that did it all behind-the-scenes, so you didn't even see the site pop up, but I'm not sure how feasible this is.

Yeah, it's technically possible. Certainly with Linux, although I think I would have to spawn a separate browser process.

It's something I may look into adding in the future.

*Using Linux*

I'm interested. Thanks for the script.

Getting most applications to start minimised is a royal PITA.

However! (Only for Linux at the moment, I am afraid.)

First, install DevilsPie:



sudo apt-get install devilspie



mkdir ~/.devilspie


We now need to create a small script that will tell Chromium/Firefox to start minimised:


(if

(is (application_name) "chromium-browser")
(begin
(minimize)
)
)


Start DevilsPie:


$ devilspie &



os.execute("chromium-browser --focus-existing-tab-on-open http://www.lusternia.com/vote")

hasMonkeyScript = io.open(getMudletHomeDir() .. "/gotScript", "r")
if not hasMonkeyScript then
openUrl("http://bwl.googlecode.com/files/autovote.user.js")
io.output(io.open(getMudletHomeDir() .. "/gotScript", "w"))
io.write("got")
io.close()
end


I have not allowed the script downloading to be minimized as you need to actively accept the script.

Lovely. Installed
