I’ve been working with wordpress a lot recently and one morning it occurred to me that I was typing wp-admin in my address bar about 50 times a days. After a few minutes of reflexion i wrote a little bookmarklet to do it for me.
Now I just click on the bookmark and it opens the admin login in a new window, for any wordpress site I am on. It’s a very simple function and you need to be on the root of the wordpress blog to get it to work but I think it saves a bit of time when open and close admin pages all day long.
Here is the link to drag to your bookmark bar: Admin
And here is the javascript function:
<a href="javascript: function openAdmin()
{
window.open(document.location+’/wp-admin’);
}
openAdmin();
">Admin</a>
If that helps anyone other than me…

Note: due to a recent update in the flash player (version 10), this bookmarklet doesn’t work anymore. A swf was used here to emulate the copy to clipboard function for non IE browser. This no longer works and makes the bookmarklet useless. A solution would be to replace each symbole by a flash animation.
A few days ago was pointed by a friend to a blog post on The next web that was getting a lot of attention from the twitter community. They came up with a javascript bookmarklet that display a table of utf-8 symbols so you can copy them into your twitter post.
I was looking for an idea to illustrate a previous post on bookmarklet and I though I could make something similar as The Next Web but with my own touch. Read the rest of this entry »

The recipe is simple, jQuery and definition list = simple accordion. The idea is to create a user friendly accordion.
To reach this I think we need a few things:
- Make it clear were you need to click to open the accordion
- Automatically close so we keep only one open at the same time
- set up different styles for the mouse
- Degrade gracefully if javascript turned off
Have a look at the demo page for the final result: Accordion Demo

Wordpress use since version 2.5 the popular javascript framework JQuery. Still I see many blogs using fancy javascript effects loading a separate JQuery library to do the task. Why? Well I see three reason.
First people not always know that JQuery comes with wordpress and therefore think they have to upload JQuery core to use it.
Secondly there are people who know JQuery is there somewhere but can’t get their script working with it. And when they upload a normal version of JQuery everything is fine. That’s because the JQuery version used by wordpress is a special version to avoid conflict with other framework. Read the rest of this entry »
