does this script work for you all anymore?

been using a mash of the codes of different authors (@Daan-Grashoff, @Delivator, @MoridinBG) sprinkled with some chatgpt cause i dont know js at all, been broken for a couple weeks now. Hope they can tell me how to fix it :p

Code:

(function () {

    'use strict';

    function addMapsLink() {
        // Find the existing results tabs (Images, News, etc.)
        const linksContainer = document.querySelector('.crJ18e');
        const tabsContainer = document.querySelector('.IUOThf');

        // The map sometimes is a thumbnail on the right and sometimes a larger image on top of the results
        var mapImage = document.querySelector('.Lx2b0d');
        if (mapImage == null) {
            mapImage = document.querySelector('.dirs');
        }

        // Get the search query from the URL
        const searchQuery = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search).get('q');

        // Construct the Maps link with the query
        const mapsLink = `${window.location.origin}/maps?q=${searchQuery}`;

        // If map image exists
        if (mapImage) {
            const anchorElement = document.createElement('a');
            anchorElement.href = mapsLink;
            mapImage.parentNode.insertBefore(anchorElement, mapImage);
            anchorElement.appendChild(mapImage);
        }

        // If links exist, proceed
        if (linksContainer) {
            // Create the Maps button
            const mapsButtonL = document.createElement('a');
            mapsButtonL.classList.add('nPDzT', 'T3FoJb');  // Style to match other tabs

            // Create the inner elements for the Maps button
            const mapDivL = document.createElement('div');
            mapDivL.jsname = 'bVqjv';
            mapDivL.classList.add('YmvwI');    //GKS7s

            const mapSpanL = document.createElement('span');
            mapSpanL.classList.add('FMKtTb', 'UqcIvb');
            mapSpanL.jsname = 'pIvPIe';
            mapSpanL.textContent = 'Maps';

            // Assemble the elements
            mapDivL.appendChild(mapSpanL);
            mapsButtonL.appendChild(mapDivL);
            mapsButtonL.href = mapsLink;

            // Insert the Maps button at the beginning of the tabs container
            linksContainer.prepend(mapsButtonL);
        }

        // If tabs exist, proceed
        if (tabsContainer) {
            // Create the Maps button
            const mapsButtonT = document.createElement('a');
            mapsButtonT.classList.add('nPDzT', 'T3FoJb');  // Style to match other tabs

            // Create the inner elements for the Maps button
            const mapDivT = document.createElement('div');
            mapDivT.jsname = 'bVqjv';
            mapDivT.classList.add('GKS7s');

            const mapSpanT = document.createElement('span');
            mapSpanT.classList.add('FMKtTb', 'UqcIvb');
            mapSpanT.jsname = 'pIvPIe';
            mapSpanT.textContent = 'Maps';

            // Assemble the elements
            mapDivT.appendChild(mapSpanT);
            mapsButtonT.appendChild(mapDivT);
            mapsButtonT.href = mapsLink;

            // Insert the Maps button at the beginning of the tabs container
            tabsContainer.prepend(mapsButtonT);
        }

    }

    // Call the function to add the button
    addMapsLink();

})();

hi @Xornop , can you tell me what exactly is broken? For me it still works that the "Maps" tab is added but clicking on the map sometimes doesnt work.

@Delivator yeah same for me, thats my issue. I dont use the maps tab, just in cases where it doesnt give me a minimap when i think it should have

Actually i realized my code works still, probably a PEBKAC error on my end
