Has there been a change in the way memrise treats commas?

Hi @Hydroptere,

firefox will have this plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/.

Hi @dylan.nicholson.548,

How is it going with your script to update http://www.memrise.com/course/47049/5000-words-top-87-sorted-by-frequency/10?

It’s this course http://www.memrise.com/course/331420/reading-french-newspapers/

Started to require strict typing (le/la articles) and the parentheses today.

I can’t help you with the level, though, because denrée was up for review today, and there’s no search feature… and the course has 83 levels.

Acutally, I googled it and somehow it came up. It’s level 63.

Level 22 has or (conj.) and yet (2 - conj.)

which was another problem — had to type or (conj in the answer

i’ve done that, installed the greasemonkey, made an addon , added the urls of the databases, and… no change. And…

@Hydroptere. For the includes field, you should empty it. Remove any url you specify in the includes box

ok, it finally works to hightlight, but i have to give the name of each page in the database - as one cannot see “reveal all” (pity it does not change the commas as well :sunglasses:)

pity that you cannot change the size of the text boxes in the database, it sometime hard to point at the exact place of the new separator

EDIT: i’ve played with the script and added at the end of each database url this fragment “?page=*” ; now i don’t have to change/add/load urls in the script

Hi @TheFour-GatedDanzig, let me see if it is relating to the current problem. Please wait in the meantime.

Pretty well, I got through over 100 pages (2000 words) yesterday with very few errors. Hopefully will finish today if I get some time.

You don’t need to be a programmer to use the script, just paste it in to the javascript console (all browsers that I know of have this built in)

I’ve now changed about half the course, and just this morning found that the semi-colon isn’t properly acting as a separator - requiring me to type the whole answer in. Thankfully I have another script to work around that…

are you kidding me??? i’ve just changed a course with 800 items from comma to semi-colon :rage: (rage not directed at dylan.n)

what do i have to change in the script to highlight commas in the other column in the database?

Probably td:nth-child(2) to 3 4 etc., but I’m just guessing

Hi @dylan.nicholson.548,

Can you give me an example for what is working or not working in your case with semi colon? And what is the type of test that you are taking?

Typing test. The German was
das Wörterbuch; -er

But typing just “das Wörterbuch” wasn’t accepted as correct. I had to modify my userscript to add to the list of accepted words.

Ah @dylan.nicholson.548, can you point me to the level that has this word?

No because you don’t provide any tools for finding which levels words are on (which would be extremely useful).
BTW I finished processing all the entries in that course…256 database pages worth! May have missed a few but it only took ~10 minutes total using the script I posted.

I just started a new learning session and it sent back (among other words):

“accepted”: [“der M\u00fclleimer; -”, “der Mulleimer; -”] and
"accepted": [“die Lebensversicherung; -en”]

i.e., it didn’t send back the semi-colon separated components as accepted entries.
I assume it is a server-side change to support this…

If you want me to trace all the problem faster, please put the email in this post by replying to me. I will add you to the contributor. In there, please create your courses with your name, and fill in the word in the first and second column only. The first column should be using for testing. The second column you should type in all your expectation answers for the word in first column. I will help you gather all the problems relating the tapping test and typing test.

For example,

First column: die Lebensversicherung; -en
Second column: die Lebensversicherung; -en / die Lebensversicherung -en / die Lebensversicherung en / die Lebensversicherung / -en / en

@dylan.nicholson.548, I just put your word there. Can you check? I am able to finish the typing test with die Lebensversicherung
