What is special about bookmarklet tiddlers?
If you create a bookmarklet tiddler you can export it and share it in the forum, but there is another quality to it;
- Inside the bookmarklet tiddler in the link to drag to you bookmarklets, however it can be clicked to action the bookmarklet without using it from the bookmarklets.
- This is in effect a small fragment of javascript you can run in your wiki without first having to install a plugin.
- Thus it can be used on read only sites
- There are limitations to what It can do, so I do not think it is a security risk.
- The tools currently on the Bookmarklets site are primarily about sharing tiddler payloads in Bookmarklets, however there are a range of other ways to use the bookmarklets and javascript “fragments” for example;
- Reset the dirty flag (stop save being prompter for)
- Set the wikis window name
- Copy info from web site to tiddlywiki using bookmarklet and json tiddler dropzone
- And other innovations we are yet to imagine.
- In the near future I will further develop the Bookmarklet tools to assist in creating these other types of bookmarklets.
