Source for Queriac Commands

[pablo7]

Hello,

I've been using Delicious & YubNub for a few years. Now that I've
started using bookmarklets, I am really excited about Queriac
possibilities.

Can somebody tell me how to view the source for other users'
commands? For example, I look at the page for "post" (to Delicious)
and I just see...

javascript:window.location='http://delicious.com/save?
url='+encodeURICompon . . . . . RIComponent(document.title)
+'&tags=(q)&notes='+window.getSelection()+'&v=5'

If this is not a feature of the system and you have a minute, could
you provide me with a link or an example? I want to create some basic
bookmarklets of the same form. I can copy commands to my heart's
content, but I would really like to create more and share them.

Thanks for everything.

Hi pablo7,
Welcome to Queriac. Glad to see you're excited about its
possibilities. We are too!
For now, you can view the source of any command by copying it. You'll
see the bookmarklet in the url input field on the copy page. I agree
that seeing the url of a bookmarklet is a handy thing and will look
into displaying them fully without cluttering up a command's page.

PS
If you like bookmarklets, you'll like that you can convert any of
your commands to bookmarklets simply by prefixing it with your
bookmarklet command (mine is 'j') and applying a queriac javascript
symbol.
For example, take your google command, g. `j g :s` would do my google
command and replace :s with
whatever text I've selected. The other queriac javascript symbols are:
:u - url of current page
:t - title of current page
:H - full host of current page ie http://queri.ac
:h - partial host of current page ie queri.ac

I plan on writing a blog post about this and some other cool new
features soon. Feel free to play with this and let us know what you
think.

Update: You can toggle seeing the full url of any command on its
homepage by clicking on the more link.

Thanks for all your help guys. I finally feel like I am getting up to speed with both command creation and usage. All the tips on working with javascript were very much appreciated. I am now hooked on the 'j' way of doing things.

Just shared a bookmarklet called yelp. It is similar to sage's, but instead of using the Delicious Playtagger it uses the Yahoo Easylistener to play all of the Mp3's linked on a web page. It's set to play them automatically, so be ready with your headphones if necessary. ;)

Thanks again.
