Bookmarklet for articles?
Does anyone know of a bookmarklet for posting that will work with Mac Firefox 1.5 or Safari 1.3 and works with articles (rather than links)? Something that will put the webpage title and link and any selected text from the page into a txp article… I’m using 4.0.1

Re: Bookmarklet for articles?
Have you tried the one/ones out there, and if, which ones, and what makes them unusable?
EDIT; I don’t use bookmarklets myself, and I don’t even know if Sencer’s bookmarklet is compatible with 4.0.1/4.0.2 – just curious…

Re: Bookmarklet for articles?
I have tried the ones I could find in forum. Some were for links rather than articles. Some of the posts have links to pages that are no longer valid. I tried the one from Sencer’s but it doesn’t put in the current webpage’s title and url, it inserts the page’s referrer. I like the Firefox extension “Justblogit” but I’ve upgraded Firefox to 1.5 to hopefully not have lots of freezes and Justblogit isn’t compatible. I don’t know if it will be upgraded.

Re: Bookmarklet for articles?
I finally figured out a bookmarklet for articles. Also one for custom fields. If anyone is interested I’ll try to figure out how to post it to the forum (not having any luck with the Textile codes right now).

I’d be interested in knowing what you came up with. I have one that works fine for links, but haven’t found one that will work consistently for articles. I’m on the same Mac configuration as you.

I haven’t been able to code it properly to make a link in the forum, so I put it in a file here:

There’s a sample bookmarklet with a custom field and one without. Drag the link to your bookmarks toolbar and then edit it to put in the path to your textpattern. When you use the bookmarklet any selected text goes into the body of the article, the webpage title into article title.
In Firefox, the bookmarklet creates a window that is underneath the main window so I always have to go to “Window” in the Firefox menubar to find it. I don’t know how to get Firefox to create a popup on top of the other open windows.
I haven’t tried it with Safari, just Firefox.
Let me know if you have any problems!
