More on adding Weight Watchers Points Tracking

beetpoet

Re-posting complete procedure: I found this under the Food and Nutrition board, under TOPIC: How to Track Weight Watchers Points on MFP!! -- this topic was originally posted by CM9178.

This topic provides a script from userscripts.org that adds a new column to your MFP diary for tracking WW points. The script converts your diary entries into WW points.

Here is the whole procedure:

1. Use the Mozilla Firefox browser. Chrome might work, but the script is supported on Firefox.

2. Install Greasemonkey if you do not already have it. Greasemonkey enables you to install the script as a Firefox plug-in. See http://userscripts.org/about/installing

3. Install the script. A pop-up appears letting you know the script is installing. Here is the link: http://userscripts.org/scripts/song">how/122949

Note: If userscripts.org asks you to log in, just ignore this and click Scripts. Then search on the script name: MyFitnessPal Weight Watchers Points.

4. Edit the script as follows:

On line 10, change variable pointsPlus=false; to pointsPlus=true;

On line 11, change variable precisionWW to false;

You can edit the script using Mozilla Firefox "manage plug-ins." Or use a text editor. I prefer just using Mozilla. Click Tools > Add-ons and choose the script, then click Options. At the bottom of the page, click Edit this User Script. You then Save your edits.

5. In your MFP diary, you need to have specific metrics in a specific order for the script to work properly.

In settings for your diary, change the order as follows:

Calories - Carbs - Fat - Fiber - Protein

No other metrics can be showing in your diary and they must be in this order. (I had to omit tracking Sodium, but that is ok with me.)

HELP...I have gotten to this step 4 and I cannot figure out how to edit this. Going to Tools is not working for me. I go to the little greasemonkey and try to go through that to edit and that isn't working either. I can get to the script page and I see where I would like to change line 10 and I can highlight "false" but I can't type "true"....what am I doing wrong?
Please email me at boonies76@hotmail.com as I don't also find these messages back
Thank you
