Bookmarklets - TasksPro is done [#32]

A Movable Type feature that I'm using frequently is a bookmarklet.

You drag a javascript link to your favorites bar (IE) and when you surf and find an article you want to log, you click the bookmarklet link. The bookmarklet spawns a window (without your usual drupal header/footer showing) with a submission screen. In the submission form, the title is automatically filled with the TITLE tag from the page you were on when you clicked the bookmarklet. The body of the message is auto-filled with a link to the URL of the page you were on.

If you want to see an example of how this works, let me know.

Isn't it fun to re-open old feature requests?

The link to CVS shows a 404. I can't find this mystical "blogit" bookmarklet.

I think that a bookmarklet that supports Drupal would be great. I've left component as other, since I think this could be used to post any kind of node-based content. The pop-up should show the node/add screen with appropriate options for the logged in user (or a login screen, if not logged in).

Oh, and it would allow integration with TasksPro, which specifically mentions posting to Drupal via a Drupal bookmarklet.

The integration with TasksPro is done. It asks for the bookmarklet URL, but it really wants the URL to post http://example.com/node/add/blog and it's good.

There is a Safari bookmarklet example at http://www.addingunderstanding.com/node/241
