| So... I wrote a script that fixes your anime Start/Finish dates. If your anime dates are missing in big number, this will definitely help You. The script might not be perfect, but works. If you find any bug, please send me info about it. IMPORTANT! BEFORE USING - MAKE A BACKUP (EXPORT YOUR LIST) Instruction how to prepare and run the script:
Script tested on Tampermonkey ps. The process might take a while, so please - be patient. Script: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/419639-mal-date-fix Backup/Export: https://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=export btw. I guess it's obvious, but You have to be logged in on MAL Change Log: Version 1.1 - Added auto csrf_token Version 1.2 - Added support for re-watched Anime Version 1.23: - Made Process of Script Working more "Common User" friendly - Added Comments to the Code to make Script slightly easier to analyze Version 1.3 - Added Function to Automatically Save Progress if something breaks + Auto Restart - to make the process easier, by making it mostly Automatic Version 2.0: Fixed: 1) Main Issue where Script kept stucking at 3rd part of the Process Added: + Automation (Check Instruction) + Links to Entries that might have incorrect Dates To Do - Fix the Issue where 1st Entry might not get any Date at all |

| Nice, but that's too much stuff to do and too complex for a lot of users. Why you don't automate the script to auto get the user csfr_token? |

My script takes id's of titles that don't have set the Start/Finish date from anime.plus, then redirect you to MAL to avoid Cross-Domain restrictions, load the date when you added the first and the last EP, and then updates it. After a script done the update, u can update your MAL Graph once again, and then you will have the history of when you watched what. Sorry if it's hard to understand, writing on the phone, so it may be wrote even worse than usual :/ |
| So your script gets the animes dates from mal where? On the mal anime history log? MAL keeps that info only for a few days. But your script is still interesting To avoid cross domain problems just use any cors anywhere |

But your script is still interesting To avoid cross domain problems just use any cors anywhere In edit details there's "history" link, there You got info about each episode that You added, so You can take the first and the last date, to get Your Start and Finish date. The problem with it is that, if You rewatched a show, there's dates of rewatch as well, so the finish date will be the one when u ended rewatch - I'm gonna fix it in next version. As I'm using Ajax to send POST request, it's easier to redirect to the MAL |
| The main problem is that your script works only for the last month of the user past anime history, this is because MAL erases the history after that time. But you script still helpful for people that want to start adding both (or only one) start/finish dates |

| Thank you so much for making this script as I have over 200 anime that have no start or end dates :) Though I have had a problem getting it to work, with the if statement on line 160 stopping the script. I temporarily fixed it by replacing it with "id.length != 0". The first two anime on the list updated fine, but as it got to the third one it sets the finish date wrong. I spent some time trying to debug your code and found that the code responsible for the is the if statement on line 138. I tried fixing it with "x == 0". That revealed that the jquery code on line 128 only returns one line from the history page, and would result in all anime missing dates getting the same start and end date. I guess that's why you're testing if the anime has more than one episode in the if statement on line 138, but I don't get why you are doing this here. I have some other things I want to add but I'm lazy right now and I don't want to see as too negative. If you want you could DM me your discord info so we can talk in detail if you want :) |

NurarihyonMaou said: Btw. You've read my code wrong, You changed something that does something else, that's why it put dates wrong After some testing with the new version, you have made I can now see the logic behind the if statement at line 138. But there is still a problem with this part of the code. For example, when it tries to get the end date of when I watched "Bakuman. 2nd Season" it automatically assumes that there are 25 div's with the class "spaceit_pad", but there is only 2 in my history. I think a better method to get the end date without getting re-watch dates would be comparing the episode amount nr. with the episode nr. in the page history and when they are equal then get the end date. I have tried to fix it by making a new variable: let numofep = parseInt($(this).html().match(/\d+,/g).toString().slice(0, -1)); that gets the episode nr. from the history page. I have then changed if statement for end dates to "if (aeps[f] == numofep && endYear.length < startYear.length)" where "aeps[f] == numofep" checks if the current div episode nr. is equal to the amount of episodes in the aeps array. "endYear.length < startYear.length" is then used to stop code when there are multiple divs which have an episode nr. that is equal to the total amount episodes in the anime. I personally think this should be more of a temporary fix and I think that a better solution for re-watched anime would be for a new tab to open with the history page where you click on the div that you think should be the end date. I think this is a better idea since you could have mistakenly submitted the episode total amount episodes in the anime and then later corrected it. What do you think? |

I completely forgot that not everyone sets each ep, just click first and the last one... I'm also having this situation in several Anime, but still totally forgot about it... I was thinking about reading the Ep number, but then I thought that current method will be easier, so I made it this way... Gonna think about fix tomorrow (00:05 in my country) Really thank You for Your support |

| After some testing with Chromes debugger to see how the new code you wrote works, it now seems like the script works as intended :) The only other problem that I can think of right now is an accidental amount of episodes watched submission. The solution to this potential problem would be, as I said before, where you get to choose the end date from the history page. But with this solution you have to do this every single anime that is missing dates, it would take a long time to get set dates for over 200 anime. So I closing I think this script as it is now, is the fastest way to correct anime missing dates MAL, with the caveat that there is a minor chance of the end date being wrong. |

| This script is really usefull, i only recently realised it would be nice to enter dates - after 70+ empty entries. Script entered end dates correctly, but as my history didn't have start dates (even though many animes go through "plan to watch" and than "watching" list, weird) - it also added those exact dates as the start dates. Now it looks like i completed all those animes in one day. It probably shouldn't enter values into "Start day" if history has only one string (it should leave "Start day" blank). Also may note: step 4, after it "redirect you to random anime" - it redirected me to my first alphabetical anime ("Ano Hi Mita Hana..."). Then i wasn't sure what to do, clicked submit - and script started working. But this exact anime ended with blank entries. This isn't critical, but probably should be specified in Step 4 In general - great script! |

Oh, I had in mind, that if someone have only end date, he started to watch this Anime at the same day, didn't think that someone might have watched it before making MAL or something :d When I look at it right now, fact - it might be a little confusing... by "random Anime" I meant first from your missing dates list, but as I have no idea what it will be in your example, I just wrote "random". After it redirects you, just control console, don't click submit, also I forgot to change instruction, after changing how the script works :d Thanks for letting me know, I'm glad my Script helped You =] |

| Hi, I have a question. Your script works only if there is an ep update done in the first place as only then it'll be recorded in history (if I'm not wrong). So, If I set something to watching and then after watching I set it to complete without updating episode nr. in between, will this script work then? |

| Just wanted to say this is a great script!, I myself only had about 25 anime without dates when I used it and it added them by the dates I added them to my list which is all it had to work with which is better than what I would have done manually as I have no idea when I actually watched them 20 years ago, and when does anyone ever click on the History link of Edit Details to check that an do it manually, but anyway this is an extremely helpful script so thank you! |

Alter_EgoOct 5, 2021 7:48 AM
| Hello and thank you @NurarihyonMaou for this script, It doesn't work for me too I also have the same issue as @Alter_Ego, when I reload and accept the alert on Anime.plus, it's getting stuck after the Fetching Informations like this :  I waited for more than one hour without touching my computer, I am on Chrome if it can help. Same goes for an Anime page scenario, when I try to edit just one series it stop working after the fetching. So so far I don't seem to be able to make anything working. Can you help me ? |
  ______________【 A W C 】 【 M u s i c 】______________ |
| ^Same. Stuck on fetching information. |
on | @Alter_Ego, sorry for the late response, for some reason I did not get the notification... also @cainael and @BatoKusanagi - Thank You all for the feedback, and sorry for the issue, I'm currently working on the solution, I'll try to post it as fast as I can (possibly today). |
| @NurarihyonMaou Thank you so much for your quick answer ! If I can help you with more informations (do you need a console's screenshots when we run the script ?) tell me ! |
______________【 A W C 】 【 M u s i c 】______________ |
| @cainael, Thank You for Your Support =] Currently I don't need any additional Information, but I'm really thankfull for Your attitude |
| @n__k, @Alter_Ego, @cainael and @BatoKusanagi I've fixed the recent issue, and added function to set the Dates even when there's no Data about Episodes There is still an issue, where MAL blocks You for too much Traffic when Your list is quite big. I'm currently working on the Solution. Sorry it took soo long, Greetings, NurarihyonMaou |
| Thank you @NurarihyonMaou ! This time the loading goes right at fetching dates, but the updating process don't seem to work. I took a console's screenshot after the script stopped. (I am on MacOS so I don't have an antivirus or firewall so I don't think my connexion were blocked) I will retry it now, with most of my chrome's addons disabled (in case it's the issue) and retry your script with the console opened. Edit : Second time when I cleared all my chrome extension (unless tappermonkey) I was stuck on Fetching Informations Screenshot I'm not sure what to look / which script for in the network tabs Third time I succeed to go to the Fetching dates, but still no going on the updating loading, the console was the same as the second time though...? |

| Looks like MAL Temporary Blockade, but to be sure, You can check it in the Network Tab, by looking for "https://myanimelist.net/ownlist/anime/*" - if the Status is something other than 200, then it's most likely Blockade from MAL for too many requests in short amount of time. Or just simply refresh when the Script stucks, then You should get redirected to confirm that You are not a Bot |
| Console Screenshot @NurarihyonMaou I see, indeed when I can't reach the second fetching it's blockage for too much connection, and it's working when I reload-checking MAL to relaunch the script, but then I can't reach the Updating process even if MAL don't block it. I linked a network's tab screenshot with a view on the script and everything is in 200 so... I don't really know what I can do to help you put the finger on the issue. |
______________【 A W C 】 【 M u s i c 】______________ |
| Don't worry, I know what I have to do, but not sure how, and Debugging it takes a while, so I have to think about it, instead of using trial and error method |
| Sorry, I really suck now at back-end & JS development. When you tested it previously, @NurarihyonMaou, what did you do to make it work ? You're also using chrome ? |

| When I was trying to fix the other Issue for the other User, I acidentally broke something else. I'm not sure why I Uploaded this Update without checking it first tho. No, I'm using Microsoft Edge Dev, but don't worry, Browser have nothing to do with it. I'll try to Post the Fix tomorrow |
| @cainael, I just posted possible fix to the issue. Would be helpful if You could test it out and let me know the result |
| @NurarihyonMaou Nice, it finally worked all the way to the end, though MAL tried to block me for a bit. Not sure how you did it, but great work. Thank you very much. . |
| @BatoKusanagi, what do You mean by "MAL tried to block me for a bit"? Redirect to the blue backgrounded sub-site? If yes - The Script works as intended I'm glad You like it, also Thank You for the feedback. |
