If, like me, you post links to your Picasaweb images on forums, you’ll probably have scratched your head in the past and wondered why Google doesn’t include a ‘BBCode’ option in it’s ‘Link to this photo’ section on the right hand side.

So, I thought I’d knock up a quick bookmarklet to achieve this, basically if you copy the code below as the location for a bookmark in your bookmark bar, you can click it to swap out the standard ‘Embed image’ code for BBCode for insertion to forums.

Here you go –

javascript:void(function(){
  var s=document.getElementById('lhid_snippet');
  if(s){
    s.value='[url='+document.location.href+'][img]'+/<img src="([^"]+)"\/>/i.exec(s.value)[1]+'[/img][/url]'};
}())

(you’ll need to get it back one line, it wont format correctly here as one line)
Enjoy 🙂
