Dovetail Mobile Agent: Only show the queues that have stuff in them

November 5, 2008 As I've mentioned before, I use Dovetail Mobile Agent for my day-to-day case activities. Its simplicity and ease of use really pleases me. Even though it was targeted as an app for mobile devices, it works just as well using normal browsers on desktops & laptops. On the Home page, there's a link to My Open Cases, Recent Activity for my workgroup, as well as a list of My Queues (including the number of items in the queue). But, its not actually all of my queues. Its only the queues that have stuff (such as cases) in them. If a queue is empty, I don't care about it. So it simply doesn't show up. Nice. In our production environment, I belong to 19 queues. And all of them show up in the Classic Clarify Client: Most of them are empty,…

Resize text areas on any page

October 23, 2008 We use Community Server for both our internal as well as our external blogs. One of the things that I hate is the tiny textarea that they give you for entering comments:     Solutions If you're using Google Chrome, it allows you to easily drag and resize and textarea. It just works - nothing to do.   If you're using Firefox, there's a bunch of Firefox add-ons, as well as a bunch of GreaseMonkey scripts for doing the same thing. I grabbed this GreaseMonkey script: Textarea Drag Resize It allows me to easily drag and resize any textarea:   No more tiny textboxes. Sweet!

Keyboard Shortcuts for Dovetail Mobile Agent

October 7, 2008 In a past post, I discussed how to use GreaseMonkey to modify a web application, particularly, Dovetail Mobile Agent. In my last post, I linked to a GreaseMonkey script that added keyboard shortcuts to Basecamp. Now let's combine the two together. Access Keys for Mobile Clients Keep in mind that Dovetail Mobile Agent already has Access Keys (shortcuts) that are geared for mobile devices. The access keys are numbers. This works well on a mobile device, but it doesn't make as much sense for non-mobile devices. Notice in the image below that each link has a numeric access key. In a previous post, I showed you how to use Stylish to restyle the app.  One of the styling changes I made was to hide the numeric access keys: .access-key-label{    display:none; } This hid the mobile-centric numeric access keys. Keyboard…

Keyboard shortcuts for Basecamp

October 6, 2008 Greasemonkey script Quickcamp adds keyboard shortcuts to Basecamp.   We use Basecamp for our keeping track of our professional service engagements, and as you can probably tell from my recent posts, I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of GreaseMonkey.   So Quickcamp makes a nice add-on to for my environment.   Cool stuff.  

Adding a signature to Log Email in Dovetail Mobile Agent using Ubiquity or GreaseMonkey

September 29, 2008 As I mentioned in a previous post, I've started using Dovetail Mobile Agent for my day-to-day case activities. Its still early in its project lifecycle, so it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles (yet), but that's OK with me. For example, you can Log an Email, but it doesn't have the capability to automatically populate a signature within the email. Since this is something that I wanted now, here's how to make that happen, without modifying the application itself. Ubiquity In a previous post, I detailed my first Ubiquity command for working with Dovetail Mobile Agent. Now, we'll add a new command for inserting my signature. The Ubiquity code: CmdUtils.CreateCommand({   name: "signature",   icon: "
