This script adds a context menu with useful task links for each Profile link on orkut.com. The links are View Profile, Album, View Scrapbook, View Friends, Send Message, send Teaser and Report As Bogus, besides showing the original sized profile picture. The context menu is activated when a Profile link is right clicked; and deactivated when you click anywhere else.

Latest version: 1.2 (19-Feb-2006)

Changelog:

• context menu onClick on every Profile.aspx link.
• absolute positioned div with its elements created on the fly on the first click and getting its links changed later on.
• cancel button to hide it.
• .top and .left style attributes not well guessed yet.
• GOLIVE!
• feature plan:
  • show the original sized profile picture on the context menu. for doing so i think the best way is caching its location by uid. at least i see no other way for guessing its path. thus it'd be possible only for already seen profiles.
  • report as bogus and add to bookmark links. it's a bit hard to code it because there are some hidden atributes that have to be submited.

• i've just realized it's much better on right click (contextMenu).

• implemented the orginal sized profile picture to the contextMenu which can be disabled setting the showPicture variable to false. the way it's done today may be kind of boring as it is shown only after the image gets totally loaded making the contextmenu to get resized. by now i got no better way for doing it since it's not a fixed size and i can't guess the size it is.
• look n' feel: onMouseOver effect for the buttons.
• added Report As Bogus link.
• removed View Profile link. it was useful when the the menu was activated by single click not by right click (contextMenu). now you can just click it for following the link.
• removed the Cancel button. the context menu now disappears when something else is clicked
• minor script improvements.
• future plan:
  • we still need an Add To Bookmarks link.
  • View Communities link not yet implemented 'cos there is no default image for the button.
  • better positioning algorithm.

• View Profile link is back so I can Open Link In a New Tab without moving my arm around to press Ctrl :)

• The new variable myLocale makes it easy to change the button's language!

• Implemented a preloading feature for profile pictures. It's disable by default since I prefer bandwidth saving to waiting some pictures to load ;) You can enable it setting preloadPic to true.
• Changed the regExp to also match links on FriendsNet.aspx although I never use it.
