Wordpress 'Press This' JS bookmarklet: bUsTEd!

[no.Man]

NS 1.9.9.18

tried a bunch of hacking around to get this to work, but the only fix is to temp allow the site which is no good since it needs to work with a multitude of sites. i've been unable to find exactly what option in NS is blocking this. domains changed in following code...

Code: Select all

javascript:var%20d=document,w=window,e=w.getSelection,k=d.getSelection,x=d.selection,s=(e?e():(k)?k():(x?x.createRange().text:0)),f='http://mysite.com/wp-admin/press-this.php',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,g=f+'?u='+e(l.href)+'&t='+e(d.title)+'&s='+e(s)+'&v=2';function%20a(){if(!w.open(g,'t','toolbar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=720,height=570')){l.href=g;}}setTimeout(a,0);void(0);

looks like another fella fixed it by changing the code a bit, but it ain't working for me. here's his:

Code: Select all

javascript:var%20d=document,w=window,e=w.getSelection,k=d.getSelection,x=d.selection,s=(e?e():(k)?k():(x?x.createRange().text:0)),f='http://mysite.com/wp-admin/press-this.php',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,g=f+'?u='+e(l.href)+'&t='+e(d.title)+'&s='+e(s)+'&v=2';function%20a(){if(!w.open(g,'t','toolbar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=720,height=570')){l.href=g;}};a();void(0);

EDIT: should mention that NS failing to prompt what was blocked doesn't help. also tried with logging to console enabled and nothing there either.

The bookmarklet works for me in its original version (first listing of yours), even though what I could test is just that a popup open and the proper wordpress plugin URL is loaded.
Is there some other problem I should check for?
Could you try using NoScript Options|Reset and check if your problem persists?

hi Giorgio Maone - thanks for your input

i tried resetting NS and it didn't work. the problem is that, when i click the bookmarklet, nothing happens - no new tab, no feedback from NS, no console information (if i have write to console enabled in NS about:config). the only way it works is if i allow the site and this isn't reasonable since we're talking a multitude of sites. i'd like to provide more detail, but i don't know where to go next

EDIT: also i tried disabling all other extensions that i though might present a conflict (AB+, BetterPrivacy, Control de Scripts, etc.) - no joy

also tried putting a wrong URL into the bookmarklet so it couldn't call my press-this.php just to see if i could atleast get a blank tab like you did - no joy.

Could you try on a clean profile?

just tried it Giorgio. installed only NS - all default - and the custom button ext. that holds the JS. everything else was default. no good. tested with noscript.net. if i temp allow the domain it works, if not it doesn't. i did modify one of the nsLogin*.js files to force FF to remember 'nocache' passwords, but i doubt this would cause it.

EDIT: don't know if this'll help at all, but the bookmarklet script doesn't work for an empty (new) tab either.
