Hosted wordpress social bookmarks bookmarklet

January 11, 2009 — osblues

As I use Google Chrome as my default browser nowadays, I don’t currently have access to greasemonkey (userscripts are coming in 2.0 though :)) and therefore I can’t use my hosted wordpress social bookmarks greasemonkey script. For this reason (and for others who don’t use firefox*), I’ve knocked up a bookmarklet version of the script.

Given that it’s really diffcult to format code correctly in here, I’ll just point you to it as a file.  Just grab the file and and copy the contents as the location of a bookmark (preferably one on you bookmarks bar so you have easy access to it).  Then, whenever you’re on the add or edit post pages in your wordpress admin, you can click the link to add in the nifty “Social Bookmarks” section as if you were using the greasemonkey version.

Neat.

*Apart from those using IE as it seems to truncate all bookmarks longer than a predetermined max… what a PITA.

Social bookmarks greasemonkey script updated

January 9, 2009 — osblues

I’ve just updated my hosted wordpress social bookmarks script again.

This update just makes it work with the wordpress admin update.  Sorry for the delay on updating this.

If you’re using this greasemonkey script, you may want to grab the update.

BBCode for Google Picasaweb images

January 5, 2009 — osblues

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 🙂

Social bookmarks on hosted wordpress

June 16, 2008 — osblues

Earlier today, I realised I was missing out an all the social media hoohah by not having nice links at the bottom of my posts. You know the ones, add to this, post to that, etc.

So, I googled for something to achieve this (on wordpress.com rather than self-hosted) and came across a pretty nifty solution here. This involves keeping a template file and fiddling about doing a search and replace in a text editor and pasting the result back in to your post. You obviously have to remember to do this for each post you write. Although this is a perfectly good solution, I’m a bit lazy and thought I’d see if I could come up with something a bit quicker.

I decided to see if I could use a GreaseMonkey script to do it. After much fiddling, I’ve come up with this

Social Bookmarks Preview

My script inserts an extra section between the post body and the tags section. When you click the heading it generates a block of HTML using Archgfx’s template mentioned earlier.

You can then click in the newly inserted textarea, copy the code and paste it in to your post (HTML view, add to the bottom of your post).

This is the first GreaseMonkey script that I’ve written so it’s not going to be that ‘elegant’, suggestions for improvement are appreciated.

I plan to make improvements to it when I get a chance so keep an eye out here for updates.

You can grab the script here (you’ll obviously need to install GreaseMonkey to use it!)

I’d like to get it to insert the code directly in to the textarea, but my knowledge of hacking tinyMCE is pretty much non-existent.
