WordPress has a feature where you can copy content from another site by creating a special bookmark link

You visit the site.. highlight the text and then press the link.
This opens a new browser window and pastes in the highlighted text and the post title.

The function works off a special link that contains JavaScript to open the window

I confirmed this by disabling and then removing NoScript and the Press This Link will work properly
This function also worked Prior to the latest NoScript Update

here is a sample of the javascript in the bookmark link

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://www.YOURWEBSITE.com/post-new.php',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,u=f+'?u=%E2%80%99+e(l.href.replace(/\//g,%E2%80%99\\/%E2%80%99))+%E2%80%99%20&t='+e(d.title)+'&s='+e(s)+'&v=4';a=function(){if(!w.open(u,'t','toolbar=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=820,height=570'))l.href=u;};if%20(/Firefox/.test(navigator.userAgent))%20setTimeout(a,%200);%20else%20a();void(0)

It is important that this feature work for me and I am not sure how to make a work around while still enabling Noscript.

Whitlisting or enabling scripts on a website is not the problem or solution

The problem is in the new Bookmark Functions added in this latest release...

I would even Roll Back and not update your plugin to provide this function because it is important to my daily work.

Please Fix this or Provide a work around.

here is a link to the wordpress Codex providing info about the Press This core function

http://codex.wordpress.org/Press_This

Most people using this function also use this plugin as it provides more control.
However this plugin normally requires alteration to the javascript link to work correctly

============================

Whatever you did with the bookmarklet update is what broke it.

I'm having the same issue with my wordpress bookmarklets and other bookmarklets. Right now i have noscript disabled and all my bookmarklets are working. I'm keeping noscript disabled until there is an update correcting this problem.

Hi ...
I am the person who first reported this problem

Just had to close Firefox and when I opened I was on 2.6.8.17

First thing I did was test to see if the new version worked AND IT DID!

Thank you very much for your efforts and bringing this software to so many users.

You help many many people have a more secure experience on the Internet.

thanks again
