[NO LONGER SUPPORTED] [Userscript] WaniKani Lesson Filter

[jc04tu]

@prouleau

I did some more tests.

• The problem does NOT occur in script compatibility mode.
• The problem only occurs on the second batch of lessons. I mean there is a first batch of lessons, then I am quizzed on them, then there is another batch of lessons. The problem only occurs on the second batch.

Was just about to reply saying exactly this

This happens only with the Meaning panel. The others panels are OK.

So I’ll just add that doesn’t appear to be exclusive to the meaning panel.

Unfortunately they’ve been messing with this part of lessons a lot lately, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this breaks several more times over the next handful of months. I have no time to look into this until the weekend at the earliest. It could also be a bit time consuming to look into since I’d have to do a full set of lessons each time.

If anyone has a proposed fix that’d be great, but if not I’ll get to it when I can.

To alleviate this issue I had set the Lessons Batch Sizing to the minimum (3) in the Wanikani settings.

[seanblue]

And with this script I can make it a batch size of one!

I’ll forward your message over.

@est_fills_cando I know you already fixed the blur issue in your local copy, but I finally got around to fixing that in the official version. Sorry it took so long!

Hi. I’m probably doing something stupid but this script doesn’t work at all for me. This evening I was given 10 vocab lessons and only wanted to do 5, so I put 5 in the purple box on the right hand end and hit filter and nothing happens. The number in the top right of the page doesn’t change from 10.

I have “Ascending level then subject” in my settings and I’m using Tampermonkey.

Anybody have any idea what I can do to fix it?

[fl1pper]

Replying to myself like a sad person

I think I figured it out. Even though it retains the number you last put in the box, it seems you have to re-enter the number and hit filter again and then you can’t change it without reloading the page…

You have to hit filter no matter what. The script remembers what you put last time, but it doesn’t filter automatically. This is so you have a chance to change it before filtering. Additionally, once you’ve filtered out items they are gone unless you reload the page. You can change the number and filter again, but it only changes your lessons if the number is less than what you already have available. So if you already filtered to 2 for example, you can’t filter to 5 without reloading the page, but you could filter to 1.

Thanks for the info. I really need to use this script as my puny brain can’t cope with too much at once

[prouleau]

This is a bug report. After filtering the first displayed item is not updated after I apply the filter.

The order of steps:

• When I open the lesson session the Become radical is displayed by Wanikani.
• I apply the filter to get 10 vocab items
• The Become radical is still displayed when it should have been filtered out.

There is no rush to get a fix. There is an easy workaround. I click on the leftmost item in the item list at the bottom of the screen and the filter is properly applied thereafter.

sigh

WaniKani has been changing so many things on the lesson page lately, I’m not surprised things are starting to break more. I should have time to look into this in a week or so.

[seanblue]

This should be fixed now.

Also, to prepare for the future where WaniKani inevitably changes something that makes the script’s UI not appear, I added a way to filter and shuffle via the dev console.

I added instructions to the OP for how to use the dev console version. Please let me know if the instructions are clear.

[prouleau]

The instructions are clear. I didn’t try it because my lesson situation doesn’t allow it but I am confident I can use this procedure.

[ccookf]

I went ahead and tried the console commands, didn’t run into any issues using those and the first item would swap out if I filtered out that category.

Unfortunately, a probably unrelated display issue came up where my the icons for lesson counts turn into mojibake when I do a soft refresh. It’s crap like this that makes me wish WK would just incorporate these features as standard instead of depending on users + scripts to make up for mediocre functionality.

[seanblue]

Can you take a screenshot? Nothing from this script should do anything with the icons, so it could be unrelated.

[ccookf]

I can’t seem to replicate it now so I’m going to assume it was either a weird backend issue that got resolved or browser cache being annoying. Sorry about that, I just wanted to put it out there since that last few official changes have brought out issues seemingly everywhere and often between scripts.

[seanblue]

No worries. Sometimes stuff doesn’t render properly if there’s a blip in your internet connection. Glad it seems to be working now.

[prouleau]

@seanblue I have tried the console interface. It worked fine.

[seanblue]

Perfect, thanks for verifying!
