AddressBooker & exporting my Facebook Phonebook

I just got my G1 and this is exactly what I was looking for, it works like a charm. Good job!

Worked well for me. Exported 29 contacts.

I wish it would grab the non-number people as well. I have some people's number in my google address book but not their email address. It would be nice to see it as an option.

Thanks for making painful work painless.

Did LJ just change their friends page in a way that breaks this script? Figures that it would happen just before I needed it. Ah well.

... but it's giving me an error;

Required element 'summary' not found; aborting.

I disabled all my other Add-Ons and whatnot, so I dunno. I'm sure this is just something I'm not aware of.

Hey,

Thanks for coming up with this, its a great idea and really useful. But whenever I run the GreaseMonkey script I get the message "Required element 'summary' not found; aborting."

Any idea whats gone wrong?

Thanks!

Of course, the day I find this, Facebook updates their address book code, so the script doesn't work anymore:

Required element 'summary' not found; aborting.

I'll check back later — would submit a patch if I knew more Javascript. :)

Thanks for creating this!

I think yours might break if using a different language. if (!m) { + m = /\b(\d+)/.exec(lastSummaryText); + if (m.length > 0 && m[1] != 0) { + m[3] = m[2] = m[1]; + m[1] = 1; + } + else { + abort("Couldn't find pattern: 'i-j of k'"); + } } durandal@gmail.com

I'm like a year late to the party and you probably don't maintain this any more, but...

I have 132 contacts to import. All my data got to the addressbooker site, but when I clicked "merge into your google contacts", I got this error:

Is this a limitation of google appengine?

Hey Brad,

Thanks for creating this script - I used it a couple of years ago with no problems! One of my friends recently lost her contacts on her phone, so decided to use your script again to help her get her contacts back but found that it was not longer working. I've done some debugging and there's a couple of changes to your script that I've made to get it working again (presuming it stopped working because of changes Facebook has made since your last update).

First is on the child loop:

var ffriends = get("FriendsPage_Container");
var children = ffriends.childNodes;
// for (var i = 0; i < children.length; ++i) --Original line of code
for (var i = 1; i < children.length; ++i) { // Changed initial value of i = 1
var child = children[i];


Second one is on the name var:

// Extract the name.
// var name = xpath(child, "descendant::node()/a[@class='UIObjectListing_Title']/text()[1]"); -- original line of code
var name = xpath(child, "descendant::node()/a[@class='UIObjectListing_Title']/text()[1]"); // added the [1] due to their now being 2 lines in the div

Also, it should be noted that with if users have already enabled the Sync in the iPhone Facebook app, Facebook will include your non-Facebook contacts in their phonebook, which the script doesn't pick up in its name-grab.
You could probably fix this by changing the name var xpath expression to "descendant::node()/*[@class='UIObjectListing_Title']/text()[1]", but I think it's better if the user disables the sync and deletes those contacts from the Facebook Phonebook before running your script.

Cheers!
