Description

Adds extra buttons to the Reviewer for new cards and cards in learning. This is a slightly modified re-upload of an add-on by Steve AW. Below follow excerpts of the original description: ========== SCREENSHOT DESCRIPTION Adds anywhere between 1 to 4 new buttons to the review window when reviewing a new card or cards that are in learning mode. The new buttons function like the existing "Easy" button, but in addition, they reschedule the card to a different interval, which is randomly assigned between a lower and upper limit that is preset by the user (see below). By default 3 buttons are added, with intervals: "3-4d" , "5-7d" , "8-15d". This can be changed in the source code. USE CASE I wanted this addon because many of my new cards do not need to be "Learned" as I created and added them myself, typically an hour or so before my first review session. I often add around 100-200 new cards per day, all on a related topic, and this addon allows me to spread the next review of the new cards that don't need learning out in time. HOW IT WORKS This add-on functions as if you click the "Easy" button on a new card, and then go to the browser and reschedule the card. This means that, in contrast to rescheduling the card, using one of the new answer keys will actually add a new entry to the card review history. INTER-ADD-ON COMPATIBILITY This add-on is oncompatbile with any other add-ons that also overwrite the Reviewer._answerButtons function, i.e. add-ons that also modify the answer button area. CONFIGURATION Open the add-on in a text editor of your choice and find the extra_buttons section below the header. This is a list of dicts, where each item of the list (a dict) is the data for a new button. This can be edited to suit, but there can not be more than 4 buttons. Values: ========== COMPATIBILITY This add-on only works with Anki's stable release branch (2.0.x ≥ 2.0.30). The 2.1 beta branch is not supported at this point in time.

As add-ons are programs downloaded from the internet, they are potentially malicious. You should only download add-ons you trust.

This add-on previously supported Anki 2.0. You can download the last version supporting 2.0 here. As Anki 2.0 has been discontinued, no support is available for this version.

Comment from author
You're using Anki 2.1. This add-on is only compatible with Anki 2.0. As 2.1 support is not advertised anywhere in the add-on description it's rather unfair to rate the add-on down for this.

Great App! I made the changes listed below to add extra buttons to all cards and it was working great until today. Anyone else having the same problem?

Update pro 2.1, please.

Great add!

This is an excellent extension, and works perfectly for "New" and "Learning" cards. It however does not work for "Review" cards, which can be a bit of a pain. And unfortunately, the person who created "More answer buttons for ALL cards" has deleted their extension.

The comment above posted a workaround that I tried but didn't work. I messed around with the code a little and got it to now work for all cards.

Line 65:
"if self.card.type in (0, 1, 3):"
Change to:
" if True:"

Line 67:
"assert self.mw.col.sched.answerButtons(self.card) == 3"
Delete this line entirely. This line just checks that the amount of answer buttons on the screen is equal to 3 before proceeding.

Line 84:
"was_new_card = self.card.type in (0, 1, 3)"
Change to:
"was_new_card = True"

Line 88:
"assert self.mw.col.sched.answerButtons(self.card) == 3"
Delete this line entirely. Same thing going on here as above.

And presto! Now you can reschedule any card you want, whether it's new, learning, or review.

This addon seems to be strictly for new cards (e.g. cards which usually only feature 3 buttons).
If you want this addon to work for any cards (like me), you have to change a few lines in the python code, as there are several checks which block out any cards which are not new.

line 65:
change "if self.card.type in (0, 1, 3):"
into "if True:"

line 67:
change "assert self.mw.col.sched.answerButtons(self.card) == 3"
into "assert self.mw.col.sched.answerButtons(self.card) in (3, 4)"

line 82:
change "was_new_card = self.card.type in (0, 1, 3)"
into "was_new_card = True"

line 86:
change: "assert self.mw.col.sched.answerButtons(self.card) == 3"
into: "assert self.mw.col.sched.answerButtons(self.card) in (3, 4)"

Additionally the addon functions in a way that any click on one of the extra buttons works like clicking on "Easy" (and rescheduling afterwards). If you want to change this to another ease, you can change the variable ease on line 88 ("ease = 3") and perhaps make this dependent on actual_ease.
