Stephan Hradek! Thanks for the bookmarklets. Now, how do I make my own?

[David Gifford]

Title says it all. I would love to be able to create bookmarklets of certain list filters html tags and span classes for TiddlyWiki.

[Stephan Hradek]

At the moment - as long as I haven't created a TW5 plugin - I recommend:

1. Download jEdit from http://jedit.org
2. Give me your mail address and I'll mail you a macro for jEdit
   
3. Write your JavaScript Bookmarklet in jEdit
4. call the macro to get it converted

But this is the comfortable way as the Macro is able to encode and decode.

The less comfortable: Below I'll paste from my Bookmarklets the source in readable form. It will be jus to. Feel free to change them to your needs. You will be able to use them as bookmarklets without encoding as the browser should be able to encode them on their own.

Bookmarklet for putting stuff before and behind a selection

javascript:
var pre= "''";
var post="''";
var ta= document.activeElement;
if (ta.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'textarea') {
    var startPos = ta.selectionStart;
    var endPos = ta.selectionEnd;
    ta.value= ta.value.substr(0,startPos) + pre + ta.value.substr(startPos, endPos-startPos) + post + ta.value.substr(endPos);
    var evt = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
    evt.initEvent('input', true, true );
    ta.dispatchEvent(evt);
    ta.setSelectionRange(startPos+pre.length, endPos+pre.length);
}
void(0);

Bookmarklet for lists:

javascript:
var list= "*";
var ta= document.activeElement;
if (ta.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'textarea') {
    var startPos = ta.selectionStart;
    var endPos = ta.selectionEnd;
    var listtext= ta.value.substr(startPos, endPos-startPos);
    var len= listtext.length;
    listtext= listtext.replace( /^([#*]*)\s*(?=\S)/gm, "$1"+list+" ");
    var newlen= listtext.length;
    if (newlen>len) {
        ta.value= ta.value.substr(0,startPos)  + listtext + ta.value.substr(endPos);
        var evt = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
        evt.initEvent('input', true, true );
        ta.dispatchEvent(evt);
        ta.setSelectionRange(startPos, endPos+newlen-len);
    }
}
void(0);

Hi Stephan

Thanks for that! And thanks again for the idea of having bookmarklets for 5. If I can create a small library of these, it will be a huge timesaver.

I dont understand what you meant by "jus to".

Also, and more importantly, you didn't mention where I need to paste your codes to get them to become bookmarklets. Remember I have no idea what I am doing! :-)

Thanks for your help,

Dave

I hate it, when I forget letters. "Just two". I had 10(?) bookmarklets, but here I pasted just two. All the others were variations of those 2.

For Firefox:

• View all your bookmarks
• Navigate to where you want a new bookmarklet
• Create a new bookmark
• Choose a proper name
• Paste the bookmarklets code (everything starting from "javascript:", and including it, to the end) as the bookmarks address

That should be it…

[David Gifford]

Thanks Stephan, I am so close I can taste it! Now, hopefully last question - how do I add pre and post that contains ", since it breaks the javascript?

Please decipher that comment for me.

You asked how to put a quote into pre and post, right? That's what I've showed.

To describe it: Put a backslash (\) before the quote.

[David Gifford]

Thanks for your patience, Stephan! I will give it a try. Blessings

Dave

[David Gifford]

Awesome Stephan! I just made bookmarks for IFrames, image links and the lists of verses I used in my resource on 1 John. I am sure it won't be long before I create several more.

TiddlyWiki just got heaps faster for me. Thanks a bunch for this!

This also might help in creating bookmarklets.

I created an experimental JavaScript macro (I need to find out how to package it) and activated it on http://tw5magick.tiddlyspot.com/

If you create a tiddler containing JavaScript source, the macro "bookmarklet" will generate a bookmarklet from it.

Example:

The tiddler "Reveal Password" contains the JavaScript source.

The tiddler "Reveal Password Bookmarklet" contains some help text and this macro call:

<$macrocall $name="bookmarklet" script={{Reveal Passwords}} text="Reveal Passwords" />

One could also use the macro like this:

<<bookmarklet script="alert('Hello World');void(0);" text="Hello World Bookmarklet" tooltip="I'm your Drag Queen ;)" className="optional classes">>

[David Gifford]

Well, when I get a chance, I will check that out, too. But the other way was easy enough for me.

Just curious if there is a way to create bookmarklets that simply insert a text rather than wrapping selected text.

Sure that's possible.

var text2insert= "blahdeeblah";

var ta= document.activeElement;
if (ta.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'textarea') {
        var startPos = ta.selectionStart;
        var endPos = ta.selectionEnd;

        ta.value= ta.value.substr(0,startPos) + text2insert + ta.value.substr(endPos);

        var evt = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
        evt.initEvent('input', true, true );
        ta.dispatchEvent(evt);

        ta.setSelectionRange(startPos, endPos+text2insert.length);
}
void(0);

I've added a button which will create a new tiddler with the basic insert-code. Just put your text at the proper place. Your newly created bookmarklet will then show up in the list.

[David Gifford]

Thanks Stephan! That is pretty cool!

Hi Stephan and anyone else who might be listening in:

How would I do a bookmarklet that wraps all list items with text before and after?
