ReedyBear's Blog

Fixed 'Edit Post' button

Edit Post button for BearBlog has been updated after a recent change to BearBlog partially broke it.

This version can now autodetect your username too, but if it fails, you'll still need to replace YOUR_USERNAME

Updated Code

Copy+paste this into the URL for a bookmark.

javascript:  
username="YOUR_USERNAME";  
use_new_tab=false;  
/** gets the post's id from the analytics CSS */  
function get_post_id(){  
    f='token: "';  
    m=document.querySelector("body > main").innerHTML;  
    id=m.substring(m.indexOf(f)+f.length);  
    id=id.substr(0,id.indexOf('"'));  
    return id;  
}  
if (username=="YOUR_USERNAME")username = document.querySelector('meta[content="look-for-the-bear-necessities"]').getAttribute('name');  
/* gets the post id from the html markup of discoverable posts, or calls get_post_id() */  
post_id = document.querySelector('[name=uid]')?.value??get_post_id();  
/* Check if it's the home page */  
if (window.location.pathname == '/')path = "/dashboard/";  
else path = "/dashboard/posts/"+post_id+"/";  
/* open the edit post page */  
window.open("https://bearblog.dev/"+username+path, use_new_tab?"_blank":"_self");
