Add Links to Blogroll

This is already handled by the Press This option. Just head to Tools.

David.

No, it doesn’t.

I use PressThis to post links into blog posts. I’ve been using it for years so I do know it’s in Tools.

I would like to use the Link Manager (restored) to add links to my links/ blogroll (not posts). I had a bookmarklet for this but it doesn’t work with my Chrome or Firefox web browser now.

Ok. I understand.

Do you know where the bookmarklet came from? Can you provide details of the code it runs?

David.

This should work (works for me anyway!)…

javascript:void(linkmanpopup=window.open('[your site]/wp-admin/link-add.php?action=popup&linkurl='+escape(location.href)+'&name='+escape(document.title),'LinkManager','scrollbars=yes,width=750,height=550,left=15,top=15,status=yes,resizable=yes'));linkmanpopup.focus();window.focus();linkmanpopup.focus();

You just need to change [your site] for the URL of your WordPress site.

David.

It appears the “Link This” bookmarklet was removed in WordPress 2.5. I’ll add the above code into the next release of this plugin.

David.

Thanks David.

Sorry I didn’t check back again sooner. I had a plugin for WordPress which seemed to work and had a nice pop up window with the categories included too. Very handy. It was an old plugin, years abandoned. I thought it worked but it did everything except actually add the link.

I also had the bookmarklet through the Link Library plugin which I had been using. That still works, even with the sites I uninstalled the plugin from. So for now I will use that. I’d be glad to have the bookmarklet with the Restore plugin so I know the code will keep updated with whatever changes come along for WordPress.

To someone who knows code it must sound kind of silly/ stupid even. But, I haven’t gone far beyond basic HTML and I usually need a source to make sure I don’t forget a character or three.

I’ve just released version 2.1, which includes the bookmarklet!

David.

Thanks David. I will load them up.
