Add a bookmarklet that will post the current browser page via HTTP Get to the module

Comment #1
Bèr Kessels commentedI cannot see what this has to do with weblink module;
Can you please be more verbous, your request is very blunt.
Comment #2
geek commentedSorry about looking blunt, I only meant it as a good starting point for a discussion.
bookmarklet: a small javascript trick meant to enhance browser functionality
weblink module: allows user to post a URL and categorize it
current page: user is viewing a page he wants to categorize in drupal
Scenario: user is viewing a page and wants to enter it into drupal. He selects the bookmarklet which opens a new browser window with the drupal weblink form in it and the URL field of the current page filled in.
How's that?

Bèr Kessels commentedThat is a better description. changing the status.

maui1 commentedJust checking in to see if there has been any movement on this.
I use bookmarklets regularly in other applicaitons, both web based and client side. for anyone doing web based research Bookmarklets are indispensible time saver for capturing, annotating and posting content.
If Bookmarklets aren't in the cards for this module, perhaps you could suggest another area of the forums to post this request.
Thanks

Bèr Kessels commentedStill a usefull feature.
Comment #6
boris mann commentedI'd love to see an integrated bookmarklet as well.
Comment #7
frjo commentedI have implemented bookmarklet support in my "Vote up/down Package" http://drupal.org/project/voteupdown. See the function vote_storylink_prepare() in vote_storylink.module (based upon links_weblink.module).
Part of the code needed are already in cvs core, see function node_add() in node.module. I just added support for "$_GET['edit']['url']"
A simple bookmarklet can look like this:
Replace "www.example.com" with your domain and [semicolon] with :.
You find slightly more complex bookmarklets at http://vigillar.se/help/buttons. They will take the selected text and put it in the body and one version will open in a new window.
Comment #8
boris mann commentedActually, the prepopulate module implements this: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/prepopulate/
For more details, a custom/minimal page on the site (e.g. links/weblink/bookmarklet) which pops up would be ideal, with a very minimal input window (title, description, category -- that's it -- all other form stuff suppressed) along with a bookmarklet generated on the user account page to drag to the toolbar.
