It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

It took some time, but it's finally ready to use. I have made an extension to GOGWiki and a browser script that allow you to easily embed your GOG shelf and wishlist onto GOGWiki. It also turns the username next to each forum post into a link to that user's GOGWiki page.

Here are some examples: [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/index.php?title=User:Barefoot_Monkey]My page[/url], [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/index.php?title=User:Ubivis]Ubivis's page[/url]

For Firefox users
To install:
If you haven't already done so, grab the extension. Then [url=http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/105958]go here to install the gog-gogwiki user script.

To use:
There should be a GreaseMonkey button either next to your URL bar or on your status bar. Use that to open the GreaseMonkey menu and select the "Collect GOG shelf/wishlist" command, as indicated by the attached pictures. More information should appear on your screen if everything works right.

Known issues with the Firefox script:
Collecting your shelf and wishlist information leaves your shelf in "list mode", so you have to switch it back to shelf yourself later. This is because the script needs to visit both the shelf and the list, and GOG always tries to remember which you visited last.

The recently-made Chrome extension doesn't have this problem.

For Google Chrome users
There is a Chrome extension available at http://www.gogwiki.com/chrome/GogWikiSync.crx. If you have a recent version of Chrome them you should be able to install it simple by clicking the link and accepting the prompts that appear on the screen.

For Opera users
For technical reasons, I needed to split the Opera version into two extensions.

Go to the GogWikiSync extension page and press "Install" to get the extension that adds a browser button to sync your games.

Go to the GogWikiLink extension page and press "Install" to get the extension that turns usernames into Wiki page links.

Other browsers
Webkit support will be added in the future.. IE is probably out of luck, but I'll see what I can do once the other browsers are done.

A question though, that "update your profile cache" link that appears when trying protect myself from impersonation points to User:Miaghstir, when my GOGWiki profile is located at User:Maighstir. Does this point at some deeper error, or is it completely insignificant?

Well-spotted. I missed that because my usernames are the same. There's no deeper error - it has 2 usernames and makes a url from the wrong one. I've just fixed that on the dev server. Given the hour, Ubivis might be too asleep right now to upload the changes to the main server, but the problem will go away sometime soon.
Link Issue - User Script Commands is greyed out and not available? Any ideas?

Either the page you were on hadn't finished loading, or there was a javascript error somewhere. Have you tried disabling the GogPM script? Maybe they're interfering somehow. That's all I can think of right now, but if anything else comes to mind I'll let you know.

Thanks - [url=http://<gog-shelf user="Lou" />]Working[/url] - Just had to remove the PM Script. Just a thought - Maybe add the games in the list and report the total. I am always wondering how many GOG's I am up to.
Because I'm an idiot, I logged in through Facebook. But left my username as Karl not Karlallen.

Any chance my account can be deleted so that I can try again?

Karl
Didn't work for me

1. Added greasemonkey extension and used script command
2. It showed it was working and the links were clickable via the pop-up window (after running script command)
3. Created an account and re-did the script command. Still no joy (point 2 still applies)

Funny thing is, are names case sensitive? My name here is shane-o but on GOGWiki it makes me Shane-o. I ask this because when I do point 2, my name is shane-o but via the GOGWiki it is not and shows no information

I have renamed you, you should now access the wiki by your Nickname. Let me know, if something went wrong.

It shouldn't be case-sensitive, or even require that your usernames match, but it is new so there might well still be bugs. I'll look into it. I have to go now, but early this evening I'll see what I can do and get back to you.

shane-o: ...
I think my latest update may fix all your problems. It's not live yet, but I've asked Ubivis to put it onto the main server.

You were being hit by 2 bugs. Firstly, my code didn't know how to handle empty wishlists so you got an error message. The second problem was that my code was mixing up gog usernames with gogwiki usernames (they don't have to match, or at least they shouldn't have to)

Your user page is at [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/index.php?title=User:Shane-o]http://www.gogwiki.com/index.php?title=User:Shane-o[/url]
The special pages to view your games, shelf and wishlist are [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:GOGUser/Shane-O/games]here[/url], [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:GOGUser/Shane-O/shelf]here[/url] and [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:GOGUser/Shane-O/wishlist]here[/url] respectively.


For everyone in general: when the update goes live you will see your gamelist and wishlist appear in columns to save space. I thought it might be better that way, but let me know if you don't like it.
