Bookmarklets

Hi all,

I’m working on a bookmarklet plugin.

At the moment, it is set up to create the bookmarklet from the following tag:

<txp:btx_bookmarklets adminURL="http://yoursite.com/textpattern/" />

You have to set adminURL to the URL of your admin area for TXP, and the bookmarklet will only work if you have TXP set to remember your login.

Get it:
http://redmelon.net/btx_bookmarklets.txt

At this stage, you’re probably wondering why I made it in the form of a plugin… two reasons: I’d like to find a way for the plugin to find out where the admin directory its all by itself, and I’d also like it to be able to handle a page which could let the user log in.

Does anyone know how to write in either of those features?

Thanks,
Douglas

Re: Bookmarklets

I don’t understand that error, try this instead:

http://www.redmelon.net/bookmarklets.txt

Repalce YOURWEBSITE with your admin panel URL.

Re: Bookmarklets

the admin panel you’re talkin is the one between the presentation and view site tabs right?

something like:
http://www.com/textpattern/index.php?event=prefs

Re: Bookmarklets

http://www.com/textpattern/

hth,

Re: Bookmarklets

Great plugin.

It is perfect for me because, being as lazy as I am, it means I don’t have to go all the way to bookmarks to edit my site while perusing my posts ;-)

Thanks.

Re: Bookmarklets

Is the plugin active?

If you still can’t get it to work, you can do it manually using the text file below:

bookmarklets.txt

Replace YOURWEBSITE with the address of your website admin panel (such as http://www.yoursite.com/textpattern/).

Re: Bookmarklets

I’m sorry but I am a new user. I’m coming out of MT. I am trying to understand how this installation works.

I went to the plugin section of TxtP, uploaded, installed and just got a TXT file on the screen. Isn’t this supposed to work like the MT and WP bookmarlet? And why can’t I install it easily? What am I missing —-please note I am still not familiar with the TxtP lingo, so you’ll have to break it down.

Thanks

Re: Bookmarklets

I modified the bookmaklet to add a new link to your website. Works like the original version.

Tested in IE6 and Firefox 0.8. Important: IE6 SP2 blocks this pop-up. Probably possible to configure.

It’s a textfile. Copy & paste as the URL (IE) or Location (Firefox) of the link. Remember to change example.com with your URL.
If the window doesn’t focus add original window.focus(); at the end.

Get it

[edited: link location]

Re: Bookmarklets

Thanks Chris – that solves a long standing problem I had with the other add link bookmarklets.

Re: Bookmarklets

It seems to open the entry page, not the link page, for me.
Also the new window is blocked by my popup blocker.

Re: Bookmarklets

The window still doesn’t focus (even with <code>window.focus();</code>). And what is this with the “via” link? I mean, I’d love it if links/textile in the description actually worked, but I can’t see how you’re getting it to work. For me it breaks the link entirely when I spit them back out with <code><txp:link_feed_link /></code>. I’m assuming you’re using a plugin to spit those links out, or some other method?
