When we've posted about the integration of the Steemit More Info features, @yabapmatt asked if we could also include the sticky footer. You've asked, we've done it.
We've also fixed the beneficiaries sytem, that had been messed up by the recent changes on the Steemit interface.
If you were living in a cave and don't know what SteemPlus is about, you can check the last big announcement.
New Features
We have added a sticky footer feature. It allows users to see the information about a post without having to scroll all the way down. Instead, it will always show up on the bottom of the window.
What I call the information footer is in that image, the part that indicates the current payout, number of upvotes, etc. We've also modified it so that the Boost and Promote buttons stick with the rest of it.
You can still see the vote information such as the value of each vote from there. Here is a demo:
We've also implemented the Tabs Mentions, Vote and Links inside an onclick listener in order to make it easier of access. No need to refresh the page anymore, you can just navigate seemlessly (v2.5.2.1). These can be found in this commit
Bug fix
- The Steemit interface changed very slightly recently and although it is not very obvious at first sight, it caused some complications in the code.
- For example, it messed up the beneficiaries function, but it is fixed now.
- We are currently working on the Search Bar fix (Steemit put a much needed protection against external links), we will make the search results open in a new tab to fix that.
- We are also working on making the Feed+ feature work more smoothly.
Future work
- First finish debugging these small glitches, never hesitate to report the bugs and we ll take care of it in no time!
- Let us know what you want to see next!
Hope this helps!

Excellent! It is working for me in Firefox now. :)
edit: bug - when I click 'GIF' I see the popup and cannot use it.. then it closes and auto posts my comment.
oh.. correction. i logged in ok the first time, but subsequent page loads have me logged out of your plugin and i cannot login again.
It should be working fine on Firefox if you re using the latest version. Can you check which version you are using?
I just connected and used GIF without issue from my Firefox. Uninstall from Chrome Foxified and reinstall it, you must have an old version.
EDIT: Do you use other extensions that might interfere? Because Nothing on my app could post your comment by itself.
I went through the whole process again and it is now working correctly. I just learned that the steem plus button that is added to the steemit UI at the top logs me out, so it's possible I clicked that previously, expecting to get a menu but actually being logged out.
I just tested the GIF inserter. It's a bit buggy, but I did get a Gif inserted at least (for the first time since I've used this plugin and the previous version).
I don't have any plugins that I would think would interfere with steemit, no.
Oh, also, it would be great if you would add Steem Ocean to the list of links that are rendered by your plugin. I will be greatly expanding the functionality there in coming weeks. :)
Awesome sauce!! Now I’m definitely removing steemit more info for good!
I don't know if it is steembottracker or steemconnect but when I try to paste my password into the box to make a bid when I right click there is no "paste" option, just wanted to give you a heads up
At that point it is SteemConnect so not sure if I'll be able to fix that, but will check into it. Thanks for reporting!
nevermind, I restarted my computer and it worked fine, sorry to bother you.
I really like steemplus for chrome! Only i have a view bugs to mention.
When I try to post somthing I barely can edit and my html editing mode is disabled when useing steemplus.
When i try to post a gif. Search page pops up to search a gif and then crashes.
I have in the top of the page a second bar like thing what really bothers me xD.
The mentions tabs does not show up my mentions. Some times it does after 5 minutes. I have 450 M/B s internet with high end PC. So i dont know whats wrong,maybe a plugin?
Yet i use steenplus daily and i will cotinue to do so. Great app recommand it for everybody ;)
For your points 1 and 3 you can contact me on Discord, I m not quite sure about what you mean.
For poitns 2 and 4, we rely on APIs, GIFY for the gifs and SteemData for the mentions. Not much we can do when these APIs are slow or down
Thanks for using SteemPlus! =)
Thank you for the contribution. It has been approved.
You can contact us on Discord.

Thanks @steem-plus. I'm excited to try this extension. When I go to add it in the Chrome store, it requires permission to:
This makes me a little nervous. Is it possible to reduce this permission footprint to only be able to access specific pre-specified websites, like https://steemit.com?
Also what protection is there from someone hijacking the codebase and installing malicious functionality, perhaps while you're asleep? I'm no security expert, but I just like to know that an extension will be safe before installing.
SteemPlus also has a few features working on busy and utopian so I could reduce to those three indeed. In the meantime, the whole code is opensource so you can see for yourself that no other website is accessed.
As for the security, we do not touch your keys and use Steemconnect. We don't even use a server , your settings are kept locally.
Don't hesitate if you have more questions
Thanks @steem-plus for the reply! I agree that the open source aspect is critical to security. While I haven't personally reviewed the code, I think it's unlikely that there's malicious code as it would hopefully quickly be discovered.
So I guess my question is really what prevents someone from compromising your deployment infrastructure and quickly uploading a maliciously modified version to the Chrome store? Would this potentially automatically "upgrade" browser users with the malicious extension?
For example, many websites have had mining software injected. Presumably, these websites did not intentionally add the mining javascript but were instead compromised. Do you think this is a risk for the SteemPlus extension that users should be conscious of?
To inject malicious code they would need access to my Chrome Store account which is protected by a quite long and random password that is only stored in my brain. Also you can install in developer mode to avoid automatic updates.
Thanks @steem-plus. I have a question, what scale or weighting are you using for:
-Ashe
Number of vests:
var rank = 'Plankton'; if (vests >= 1000000000) { rank = 'Whale'; } else if (vests >= 100000000) { rank = 'Orca'; } else if (vests >= 10000000) { rank = 'Dolphin'; } else if (vests >= 1000000) { rank = 'Minnow'; }You like my work on SteemPlus? Please consider voting for me as witness here.
thanks, do you know if this is the same as used with Busy.org, SteemitBoard.com and Steem Plus?
Yep, i took it from the opensource code of busy.org.
It seems to originate from an old post from ned, if I remember correctly
ok interesting, thank you. We (@steemsmarter) plan to change it a bit and make it based on the amt of USD payouts rather than MVest since I think it's more relatable. I know this will challenge the current norm, but it doens't seem to be too ingrained yet and might need a fresh look. Nice work with the extension. How long was it in development?
Actually I was hesitating between including delegations or not because yea, it would make sense to include it as well, but I decided to stick to the
originalversion. I have been constantly developing and releasing SteemPlus updates since last September but didn't spend too much time on promoting it. It seems that it is starting to gain some momentum now though =)I just took a look at your announcement post for SteemSmarter, it looks great! Maybe we can find some way to cooperate. Let's talk on Discord. (@stoodkev)
sure, PM sent on Steemit.chat.
Hey @stoodkebv, great work done with steem-plus.
Would you mind contacting me on steemit.chat?
for when will steemplus go online, I am anxious to use your page as I see it super useful for us steemians, I like to know who was the one who contributed more value to my publication with your vote, and I can see that steemplus provides that information .. when will the project go to the ring?
It s been online for more than 6 months and have already around 1250 users. Join us ;)
For installation information follow the link at the top of my post.
I did not know ... well count on another new user
the application is in the computer version, I can not use it because my computer is damaged, I should get a version for the Android tablet, which would be extended to the application for users who can not be stuck to the computer and could use their android to comment or even publish from the adroid application.
This keeps getting better! You guys are doing phenomenal work and I can't see how I can Steemit without Plus anymore.
One note: Sometimes it takes for me to refresh my page before the features are showing. Is this an issue on my side? I don't have the fastest connection living in South Africa :-/
A suggestion: could you make the reply-edit window (where you type the edit) to have a larger default size? Most of my replies are more than those few lines. Or perhaps the option disable/enable longer window by user?
A request: I would LOVE to have a tab of Steemit stats, things like how many users, most votes, total number of posts for the day, newest user, oldest user, averages, that sort of thing. As most people that are consistent here on Steemit have a vested interest in some or other inner working of Steemit, I am sure I am not the only Steemian that will totally dig this feaure
PS Any chance of you guys teaming up with Steemit App?
Keep up the spectacular work!!
wow, great update, I am requesting for save draft option if possible, thank
Hey guys, just wanted to say that your plugin is awesome! It gives steemit so much missing functionality and it is very helpful!
It integrates so seamlessly, that when i use steemit on some other computers (where the addon is not installed) , it feels that something is missing and often i try to reload the page as i am sure that the page was not fully loaded ;)
So keep up with the awesome work, you help us all to make more sense of this platform!
Excellent, it's working...
Thank you once again for your work. Another useful update.
Would it be possible that you create a RANDOM category of posts to give a tiny random opportunity for everyone to appear on it?
great update
Nice to see you are advancing ! Keep up the good work!
Brilliant work!
Now its more easy to check stats about the post on the go 👍
Good job! For the updates to take effect, is there a need to reinstall the plugin? Or is it auto updated?
Excellent informative update..i like your post.
Thanks for your post
Great work guys!
This is such an awesome add on! Thanks for creating such high-quality stuff :-D
Hello @steemplus & @stoodkev,
I am having trouble reading the titles of articles using Steem-plus in night mode. Can you explain how to correct this?
We re currently improving the Design of Feed+. In the meantime, you can toggle the night mode. But the update will come soon =)
hmmm i mostly use my mobile but this sounds really promising! thank you for the info!
I learn many things from you... and want more from you about steemit and also wants up votes on my bogs.. Thanks for your cooperation and guidance. Yes, it's really great for the developers..
Upvote............
I have yet another Idea for SteemPlus. It would be really awesome if you could be able to select the different "Versions" that have been posted on the blockchain in case they have been edited. Something Like an "History" button between the tags and the promote/boost button and when you click on it you get a dropdown making you able to select the different versions depending on age. And if a version is opened, which is not the most up to date, the changes are highlighted just like when you look at the changes made in a Github commit.
(I like the GIF function)
Awesome!!! this makes a newbie like me less 'lost'. Installed it in chrome and it is working...
Looking forward to more features :-)
wow great tools thank you
@steem-plus you're doing a great job and I'm looking forward to your awesome Ideas. I would love to see an "exact postage" feature. The one build in Steemit is in my opinion just too inaccurate. Anyways keep up you're awesome job, gz @davsner!
I've installed the plugin in Chrome for the first time and enjoy its magic very very much! Now it feels like I'm on a much more advanced platform. Great job!
helpful information
I found out about this really amazing browser called Brave. It is open-source as well and it blocks cookies in sites. I use it more often now since I really love its features. However, I also love using @steem-plus but there is no extension for the browser Brave yet which makes me jump from browser to browser. It would be such an amazing progress if the code will also be available on the Brave browser as well. :D
