This is excellent! I never use bookmarks – except for bookmarklets. This seems like a much better way to use bookmarklets. Can’t wait to try it out.

But yes, indexing all the user’s bookmarklets and Quick Searches and Quick Search bookmarklets that have keywords and converting them into commands would also be good.

Many thanks. Will turn my pornzilla bookmarklets into Ubiquity commands now. But then, you did too. You just didn’t tell us about it. ;) Flickr… pfft! :)

Hi Aza,

First of all thank you.

I just want to bring to your notice that when I try to add the following two bookmarklets something goes wrong.

CmdUtils.makeBookmarkletCommand({
name: “print whatyoulike”,
url: “javascript:(function(){if(window['ppw']&&ppw['bookmarklet']){ppw.bookmarklet.toggle();}else{window._pwyl_home=”http://www.printwhatyoulike.com/”;_pwyl_bmkl=document.createElement(’script’);_pwyl_bmkl.setAttribute(‘type’,'text/javascript’);_pwyl_bmkl.setAttribute(’src’,_pwyl_home+’static/compressed/pwyl_bookmarklet_10.js’);_pwyl_bmkl.setAttribute(‘pwyl’,'true’);document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0].appendChild(_pwyl_bmkl);}})();”
})

CmdUtils.makeBookmarkletCommand({
name: “printerfriendly”,
url: “javascript:(function(){function%20linkIsSafe(h){return(!/^mailto:/.exec(h)&&!/^javascript:/.exec(h));}%20var%20i,x,h;%20for(i=0;x=document.getElementsByTagName(‘a’)[i];i++)%20{%20h=x.innerHTML.toLowerCase();%20if(h.indexOf(‘print’)>-1%20&&%20h.indexOf(‘edition’)==-1%20&&%20h.indexOf(’subscri’)==-1%20&&%20h.indexOf(‘reprint’)==-1%20&&%20h.indexOf(’slogan’)==-1%20&&%20linkIsSafe(x.href))%20{%20x.focus();location=x.href;return;%20}}%20alert(“Can’t%20find%20link%20to%20printer%20friendly%20version.”);})()”
})

I successfully added five bookmarklets but not these two. They both deal with print function.

Appreciate your work.

Hello, I’m trying to transform imageshack.us bookmarklet (http://reg.imageshack.us/content.php?page=transloader) to Ubiquity command, but it doesn’t work. Can you please check this out? Thanks.

I don’t know why but following your tutorial doesn’t work for me. My bookmarklet commands do not become ubiquity commands. What am I doing wrong?

I was imagining a command that would automatically read a bookmarklet on the web (like the Mbedr link you clicked on) and convert it into a command, instead of making you type it manually.

But yes, indexing all the user’s bookmarklets and Quick Searches and Quick Search bookmarklets that have keywords and converting them into commands would also be good.

@Endolith: You are absolutely right. In fact, Ubiquity can just automatically scan your bookmarks, looking for a bookmarklet and add them as a Ubiquity command.

Shouldn’t you be writing an Ubiquity command to automatically create an Ubiquity command from a selected bookmarklet? :)
