Better Gmail 2 Conflicts with RTM FF addon :Compose mailto: links in gmail
nabilalk says:
There seems to be an issue with the Compose mailto option in the Better Gmail 2 Firefox extension.
I have been using this for a while now, with no problems with this option at least (there were some issues with previously mentioned options ie; Hide Invites, Hide Spam count), however, this issue is new.
I disabled the mailto option, and RTM Gmail extension works fine. What is the compatibility issue, and is there a fix?

nabilalk, would it be possible to let us know:
1) Which version of Firefox are you using?
2) Which operating system are you using?
3) What kind of conflict is happening? Does RTM for Gmail stop appearing altogether, or is only part of its functionality affected?
Thanks!

I can confirm the problem: when Better Gmail 2 is enable RTM side panel is missing, no arrow to show it at the right edge, and no task link in Gmail settings. If Better Gmail 2 extension is dissabled RTM works OK.
Tested on FF 2.0.14 and 3.0 Beta5 on Kubuntu 8.04

The RTM sidebar stopped working for me when I turned on the Folders4Gmail option in Better Gmail. If I turn the option off and refresh, the sidebar comes back.
I hope that helps someone.

Confirming the above conflict with FF 3 RC1

I'm not sure it's only the Folder4Gmail script. I found out that it happens randomly with GM scripts. Sometime the side bar appears, some time it doesn't.
Only when i disabled GM completely i go the RTM side bar constantly.
BTW same happned with the Better Gmail extension.. I think there is something between GreaseMonkey, FF3RC1 and mayb Gmail new rolled version - can't tell exactly where.
Versions:
FFRC1, GreaseMonkey 0.8.20080505.0, RTM 1.0.1, Gmail 2

I have the same problem: I have seen the RTM side bar some days ago, in the skinned better gmail 2 version, but now it has dissapeared.
Strange: I couldn't restore the RTM sidebar, althoug I have disabled Better Gmail 2, uninstalled RTM 1.0.1 and reinstalled RTM 1.0.1 again. So I believe, that the error is somewhere else...
Firefox 2.0.0.14, Better Gmail 2 0.4, RTM 1.0.1,

I just posted this at Lifehacker, but thought it would be helpful here as well:
If I have them both enabled, RTM doesn't show up in my inbox except for very occasionally and randomly when I refresh, and when I disable Better Gmail 2, it does. I'm on a Mac, and I do have other extensions installed, but none that are Gmail-specific.
Personally I've tried shutting off the various scripts in Better Gmail until I was down to none, and the problem persisted. I'm guessing there's something about the order in which various extensions and scripts are processed that is at fault, but I have no idea how to verify that.

I found that "Showing message details" in Better Gmail 2 (on Firefox RC 2 solved the problem. I can leave the following checked:
* first 3 under General
* first 3 under Messages
* hide invites under Sidebar
I have everything else unchecked and RTM 1.0.1 works fine.

varrus says:
I just tried rolling back to the previous version of Better Gmail 2 (0.4) but there was no improvement. The only pattern I can discern is that when the conflict happens (which is almost all the time now), neither extension appears to work at all.
varrus says:
Oh, and this is on both Mac and Windows.
varrus says:
I have noticed that the problem goes away if I turn off the option to use a secure connection (and manually choose http instead of https).
xanadu1979 says:
Turning off the secure connection seems to fix it for me too.
emily (Remember The Milk) says:
We've been checking into this and have fixed some issues.
There may still be an issue with the 'Showing message details' option in Better Gmail turned on, but otherwise we're not aware of any conflicts.
Is anyone still experiencing issues, and if so, does it happen with a particular option in Better Gmail turned on?
Thanks!

varrus says:
It's definitely gotten better, but I still often have the RTM sidebar and Better Gmail 2 not load. I'm not using "Show message details" or the "Force secure connection" options either, and I've turned off virtually all of my other Firefox extensions.
cfhesq says:
I am not able to use RTM at all. The log on box appears, and when I log on to RTM, it switched back to Gmail, but still does not allow me to log on. Using Mac 10.5.3, Firefox 3 Beta 3 (the most recent). Also have Better Gmail2 and GTD Inbox installed.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,

I am using the RTM sidebar with Better Gmail 2 under FIrefox V3 for Mac OS X. For me, the conflict between RTM and BG2 clearly has to do with keyboard input: when I turn off macros in BG2, RTM works fine, always appears. With macros on, RTM usually doesn't appear, and when it does, keyboard input sometimes goes to RTM and sometimes to macros. This conflict makes it difficult to use RTM, since I make heavy use of macros.

Using RTM sidebar with Better Gmail 2 under FIrefox V3 on XP -- no sidebar still... tried everything above mentioned. Any ideas?

I'm using RTM Sidebar 1.0.1 with Better Gmail 2 0.5 with Firefox 3.0 on Windows XP Pro. I noticed the sidebar disappear in FF3 when the HTML Signatures feature is used in BG. This was working fine in FF2 and other features in BG seem to be fine. Even the Greasemonkey version of the HTML sigs script doesn't work. So seems that the problem is with the HTML Signatures script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/20887)
vanstrapp says:
No RTM sidebar for me either, using Better Gmail 2.0.5.
Not sure which tool I value more, so I can't decide which one I can live without, haha.
For what it's worth, I had Better Gmail 1.1.3 installed before (I think it was that version), and RTM worked fine.

andrethehunter says:
RTM also didn't appear after I started using Gmail attachment reminder v3.0b (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2419). I turned off Greasemonkey and reloaded Gmail and it worked.
Looks like there's a lot of compatibility issues with other scripts...

I am also failing to get RTM to appear in Gmail with Better Gmail and with some other greasemonkey scripts.
andrew.morrison says:

real killer - love my RTM!

I'm using BG2 0.5.2 / RTM 1.0.3 / FF3.0 and cannot see my sidebar when either version of macros is enabled in Better Gmail. Disabling those features and reloading Gmail brings back the sidebar.

Things are working again for me. Not sure if any magic was done on the backend, but all is well again.

for all of you still not able to get the sidebar to appear properly, i found for me it was a gmail+greader greasemonkey script which was the problem...

Guys.. better idea since Gmail Redesigned is regularly updated.. use the 'Stylish' add-on, with the redesigned style sheet at: http://www.globexdesigns.com/gmail/gmail.css
then just disable skins on Better Gmail.. (I currently have version 0.6 of Better Gmail2 and 2.0.3 Standard of gmail redesigned, and it's perfect)
Without that combo.. things were all screwed up
