javascript

One of the most amazing and annoying things in Drupal 6 is the menu system. Thanks to a bunch of JavaScript magick, you can drag menu items around to reorder them, create submenus, and so forth. Unfortunately, once you've moved a menu item it no longer alphabetizes itself. If you want things to alphabetize themselves again, you are left with two options:

You can manually alphabetize the menu or submenu every time you change things or add a new menu item, forever and ever and ever. If you're not too keen on that idea, you can edit each of the menu items and reset their weight to 0, which makes them alphabetize again.

Neither option is ideal, so I created a third: this bookmarklet will set the weight of all menu items to 0 in one fell swoop. It also works for resetting block sort order, if you wanted to do that for some reason.

grab the bookmarklet after the jump.

i threw together a fancy little javascript bookmarklet to create redirects in drupal, and figured i'd share:

<a href="javascript:d='example.com/';location.href='http://'+d+'admin/build/path_redirect/new?edit[redirect][redirect]='+encodeURIComponent(location.href.split(/[\?#]/)[0].replace(RegExp('https?://'+d,'ig'),''))+'&edit[redirect][query]='+encodeURIComponent(location.href.indexOf('?')&gt;-1?location.href.split(/[\?#]/)[1]:'')+'&edit[redirect][fragment]='+encodeURIComponent(location.href.indexOf('#')&gt;-1?location.href.split(/#/)[1]:'')+'&edit[path]='+encodeURIComponent(String(''+(window.getSelection?window.getSelection():document.getSelection?document.getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text)).replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/g,'-').toLowerCase());">new path redirect</a>

for this to work you need the path redirect and prepopulate modules installed... then simply replace "example.com" in the snippet above with your domain name, and save the link as a browser bookmark.

now click on it, and it will add a redirect to the current page. if you select any text before clicking the bookmarklet, it will use that text for the redirect path. this bookmarklet supports both internal (drupal) and external paths. it also works with urls containing queries (?foo=bar) and fragments (#baz). tested in ie, firefox and safari.

have fun!

justin hileman dot info has been updated. please allow me to draw your attention to the links at the bottom of the main page. i'm pretty excited about a couple. specifically the two with little arrows next to them.

you should click on them.
