I saw a nice way to improve the assignments page for the assignment hungry. This plugin puts up searchable (ctrl+f) headers for assignments, and also puts up 4 upcoming assignments so you have a bit easier time to figure out what you want to do next. Here's a screenie:

Please note that this is still in the beta, and has a positioning bug in the scrolling detail thing - but nothing serious.
Do you guys know a good way to fetch an image of the upcoming unlock, so I wouldnt have to display a copy of the assignment image? It would be better to see an image of that SCAR-L that I'm about to unlock than that messy assignment image...
You can have your way with my code in

Or you can simply take this simple, yet powerful plugin straight from the oven to your gluttony bellys in here -
BTW, Oh, and it doesn't work for custom assignments done by BBlog.
Leave a comment and tell me if there's any bugs!

I made an update to this, and edited the original post accordingly - thought I let you know and shamelessly bump this up :P

Very good idea !
- All texts are in english..it doesn't work in french (and other languages?!)
- Upcoming Unlocks doesn't work for me, it shows 50% done (0/10 revives) for best friends forever but it's already 100% done for me
- I don't like the assignment title on the image, it hides the weapon drawing when you looking for an assignment..instead of the showing the title...maybe it will be more efficient/user friendly to put a search text area (as for weapons/vehicles areas)

Yes, all texts are in english. The data comes through BF3stats.com and I dont know if (or how) they support different languages and translatons. Translation is usually quite complicated to do, so I dont think I will be investing a lot of time for it.
Can you give me your battlelog name, so i can take a look why it shows it incorrectly?
Visuals are always a matter of opinion and peronally I think displaying a header with the name is better usability. Atleast in my usecase. Putting up a searchfield is not a bad idea, but I think its again a bit too demanding to build it vs. Its benefits. I'll see if I can move the headers from overlapping the images and still make it look good.

I took a look, if this is your battlelog (http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/Amkhatar/assignments/218648765/ps3/) It's a bug where this always get's the PC data, so untill I update the plugin, it doesn't know to fetch ps3 data when appropriate. Thanks for pointing this out!

But all texts are already translated in the Battlelog, is it not possible to fetch all texts from battlelog according to the selected language ?
Otherwise the plugin become mostly useless for those haven't a battlelog in english !

He's getting the text from a third-party, and they _do not_ provide text in anything other than English. It's not as easy as just grabbing the text from the page (Battlelog), because there is no text - it's images.
OP - you could create a translations file and have people help translate.
