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 greasemonkey script updated

September 22, 2008 — osblues

Just a quick post to say I’ve updated the hosted wordpress social bookmarks script I wrote back along.  If you’re using this greasemonkey script, you may want to grab the update.

I’ve simply updated the links to all have rel=”nofollow” which they should be really (IMO).

Make Google Chrome your default browser in Vista

September 12, 2008 — osblues

If you (like me) have tried clicking ‘Make Google Chrome my default browser’ in options > basic with no result, you’re probably as frustrated as I was.

If you’re running Vista, it’s simply a privileges issue, you need to –

  • Close Chrome
  • Right click the Chrome shortcut and select ‘Run as Administrator’
  • Accept the warning about running as administrator
  • Go to options > basic (as before)
  • Press the ‘Make Google Chrome my default browser’ button

This time it should work 🙂

You can now close the browser as administrator and launch it again with your normal user credentials.

On a side note, if you are having trouble making Skype aware of Opera as your default browser, this may help.
