(GitHub Sort Content) Add gitlab.com support for sorting markdown tables

[haraldreingruber]

How much effort is it to make the GitHub Sort Content script also work for gitlab.com markdown tables?

I would also consider contributing the enhancement myself. I guess once I figured out the difference compared to the github.com markdown rendering it should not be very difficult.
Just adding the @include rule is not enough, I've already tried that.

Hi @haraldreingruber!

Since I haven't been using GitLab that much, I'll need your help locating more content to make sortable.

I threw together a userscript - https://gitlab.com/Mottie/GitLab-userscripts/wikis/GitLab-sort-content

Right now it'll sort the repo file list and any markdown tables. Please let me know if it ever stops working and what content would be good to add.

Thanks a lot @Mottie!
Unfortunately, the link above doesn't seem to have public access permissions.

I've created 2 test cases in the meanwhile, one for Gitlab (Wiki-)Pages, and one for Markdown files within the repo:

• https://gitlab.com/harald.reingruber/markdown-table-test/wikis/home
• https://gitlab.com/harald.reingruber/markdown-table-test

You need to log into GitLab to see the repository for some reason... I made it public, so I'm not sure why this is the case.

Still not visible to me, if you want you can add me with my username @harald.reingruber
If you add me as owner I can offer to have a look why the code is not public... you can revoke the role afterwards.

Thanks a lot.

[Mottie]

Done. And I just added wiki table sorting.

[haraldreingruber]

Thanks. I've changed the Gitlab repo, wiki, issue-tracker, etc. to public... I tested it without being logged in, and also with another user which is not a member of the project. After a first quick test it looks like write access is only for project members, or via merge-request. Will check the permissions more extensively later this evening. (I only used gitlab with private repos so far).

Let me know if my assumption about the project permissions are not what you had in mind.

[Mottie]

So weird... I'm sure I saw the setting and it was set to public. I guess I should RTFM.😸

[haraldreingruber]

Yeah, there is a setting for the project itself, but then there are also the ones per feature... I think that was causing the confusion.

[haraldreingruber]

Cool, it works quite well. Thanks for the super fast response 😄 👍
