I'll fund it. Please contact me if you can create one of these for Pligg.

Thanks,

It's actually incredibly simple. The .xpi can be opened with WinRar and the code is there in Javascript format (replace all reference to digg.com with your site) and the images are right there too.

Ash,

I am having second thoughts. I'll do some more testing, but I think installing these types of extension would be to difficult for most users (non-techies).

I say this because you first download the file, then restart FF, then re-download the file, agree to install it, then open toolbars, then customize, then drag the icons to the toolbar, just in the right location. Forget it man, average users aren't going to do this.

So I found a bookmarklet here that I think will work better for normal users: http://crasco.blogspot.com/2006/07/d...okmarklet.html

I like it because you can hightlight story text, click the bookmarklet, select text on the page and it submits the title and summary, just like del.icio.us does.

I modified the js, and got it partially working. It submits the url only, but not the title or summary/description.

Here is the code:

javascript:(function(){ID=document.getSelection();if(!ID){location.href='http://inboxnews.com/submit?phase=2%20&url='+location.href+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)}if(ID){z=open().document;z.location.href='http://inboxnews.com/submit?phase=2%20&url='+location.href+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&bodytext='+encodeURIComponent(document.getSelection())}})()

Can you modify this to work so the story title and description also post? Like I said, I'll fund this, and this is for all Pligg users.

Thanks,

I don't remember where I found this but this seems to do the same thing except it opens in a new window. I don't know which code would be easiest to use but thought it might help.

javascript:(function(){ID=document.getSelection();if(!ID){location.href='http://outboxnews.com/submit?phase=2%20&url='+location.href+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)}if(ID){z=open().document;z.location.href='http://inboxnews.com/submit?phase=2%20&url='+location.href+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&bodytext='+encodeURIComponent(document.getSelection())}})()

Jeremy,

I reviewed your code, and it appears to be exactly the same as mine. Maybe the problem isn't with the JS, but w/Pligg.

Opps.. I was in a hurry running out the door and posted the wrong code. Let me try again.

javascript:q=(document.location.href);void(open('http://www.outboxnews.com/submit.php?url='+escape(q),'','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));

That's the code I found somewhere.. I think it was on a pligg site that said click here for bookmarklet or something but I can not remember.

Jeremy,

No good. All of the these BM's pop-under a new window, which is confusing for average users, and none of them fill in the title or description. When I use the same BM I posted with digg, a new window pops up on top, and fills in title and description if text was hightlighted for description.

I think this would really be a boon for Pligg if we could get it working.
