Beta hack: FF bookmarklet replacement js with drag&drop support - http://appsapps.info/ff...
A friend of mine modded this to add drag & drop support to the form after I complained that I couldn't include an image in a post because the form was in upper right of page and I couldn't move it to get to the image to select it. You can host it yourself or use my copy. Just replace the URL in your bookmarklet to use this js script instead. It still needs some tweaking, but it does work...the form can be dragged around the page by the blue bar. - April Russo (app103)
Ok...it's finished. It might have issues with IE though - April Russo (app103)
Checked on Chrome? - Majento
The guy that did the mod doesn't have a FF account to test with, and I don't have chrome to test it myself. - April Russo (app103)
It should work in all browsers that it worked in before. The IE issues were pre-existing and he didn't fix them. They aren't his bugs to fix. - April Russo (app103)
How do I use this code? - Justin Rains
get the bookmarklet from here first: http://friendfeed.com/share... Then replace the URL in it with the URL to the edited script file that I supplied (or host it yourself and use your own URL) - April Russo (app103)
It should look like this when you are finished: http://pastebin.ca/1323845 - April Russo (app103)
Still works like a dream. :-) - April Russo (app103)
You win the Holy Fucking Shit! award! - teh Dork Knight
@tehKenny - Does that come with a badge for my friend's website? :-D - April Russo (app103)
Ace!!! :-) - Kol Tregaskes
April, thanks for that, i was trying to work it out, got it now :) - Simon Wicks
Thanks April, and thanks to your friend too. This solves a problem for me. - Wallace
You're welcome, from both of us. - April Russo (app103)
Oh, this is splendid! Where have I been since November?! (I'm now done with Firebugging elements' positions on the page to get at that one graphic in the corner) Thank you April!! - Micah Wittman
great! .. now, could you fashion a persistent frame on the left, with some discussion facilities - ala http://blerp.com - and bookmark that new url ? ----- now ff.im:url in address bar , as that digg thing, would also be nice .............. a quick workaround i came up with ...... "ctrl -" ..that will make the text smaller, enable you to reach that pic/text .................. how about a bookmarklet to post to Blogger? - Petr Buben
I didn't do this. This is someone else's work. I have a loathe of programming languages containing curly braces, which includes Javascript, so I won't be editing it to add any new features. And Blogger already has a posting bookmarklet: http://help.blogger.com/bin... - April Russo (app103)
thanks on Blogger info. i should have known that - Petr Buben
*bumped* for related inquiry in FriendFeed Feedback tonight. - Micah Wittman from iPhone
This bookmarklet is a Godsend. Thanks so much :) - LANjackal
I've found it to be a little buggy recently (in Chrome). On a few sites (BBC, FF and others) when I hit the bookmarklet the screen scrolls to the bottom and I cannot scroll back up. I have to use the original FF bookmarklet instead. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Is this down for anyone else? It's not working on my end - LANjackal
I think my server is down. :-( You can host it yourself. I uploaded file here temporarily: http://files.getdropbox.com/u... and instructions here: http://pastebin.ca/1323845 - April Russo (app103)
thanks - LANjackal from IM
Don't know what the issue was, but my site is back up now. - April Russo (app103)
yep it's working now, thanks a lot :) - LANjackal from IM
For anyone using the Firefox Custom Buttons² Extension, this is now available as a button: http://custombuttons2.com/en-us... - April Russo (app103)
Having a problem with this. On CNET sites, selected images don't get embedded in the FF post like they're supposed to. However, they do get embedded properly by the official bookmarklet. As an example, you can try with link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-10... Help please? Thanks :) - LANjackal
it loads the same script in the interior of the popup as the official, from the same source on friendfeed's server. The only thing different is the frame around it. There should be no difference in the way it posts material - April Russo (app103)
That's what I'd think too. But just try the test link and see for yourself. - LANjackal
I just tested it on that page and it posted the image just fine. - April Russo (app103)
Not working for me at all. Could be a Fx problem. Trying in Chrome - LANjackal from IM
ok, now this is weird. Works when sharing it to a private group, but not on my feed. - April Russo (app103)
Yep exactly - LANjackal from IM
I have no clue as to why it would be doing that. I'll talk to Krish about it, when I can get a hold of him. - April Russo (app103)
Could be the heavy traffic on FF now due to the Twitter outage. I've been having a few FAILs with RT updating of my Home Feed - LANjackal from IM
Well, if you still have issues with it later, let me know. - April Russo (app103)
Will do, because a minute ago FF wouldn't load in Chrome. We may be dealing with an outlier case - LANjackal from IM
I'll go back to facebook and give friendfeed a rest. One less person stressing out their servers. - April Russo (app103)
Yep, seems to be a FriendFeed issue: http://img2.pict.com/3c... - LANjackal from IM
Yeah even the official Bookmarklet is having problems now. Damn. - LANjackal from IM
Facebook is having issues too. - April Russo (app103)
I've had to revert back to the original as most of the time when I click on this enchanced bookmarklet is forces the page to scroll to the bottom then I cannot move it back up. - Kol Tregaskes
Hmmm that never happens to me, but then again you use Chrome so maybe that's the issue. What sometimes happens is the bookmarklet gets "stuck" to the mouse and I can't "detach" it, lol - LANjackal from IM
