[Technology] Blogger template: add back the edit button


Like poor Blogger user User 7100044714607836407, I have missed the quick edit button on newer Blogger templates. So I wrote a little snippet of JavaScript to bring it back.

Differences:

  • Appears in the title instead of at the bottom.
  • Does not appear until you press ctrl-e.
  • In theory will show even when readers press ctrl-e, but of course they would still need to log in as you to actually get to the edit page.
  • Just uses the blog and post IDs already viewable on the page.

Code

  window.addEventListener ("keydown", function (ev) {
    if (ev.code == "KeyE" && ev.ctrlKey == true) {
      let posts = document.querySelectorAll ("DIV.post-outer:not(.edit_link_added)") ?? [];
      for (let post of posts) {
        const blog_id = post.querySelector("meta[itemprop='blogId']").getAttribute ("content");
        const post_id = post.querySelector("meta[itemprop='postId']").getAttribute ("content");
        const post_title_h3 = post.querySelector (".post-title");

        let edit_a = document.createElement ("A");
        edit_a.href = `https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=${blog_id}&postID=${post_id}&from=pencil`;
        edit_a.target = "_blank";
        edit_a.innerText = "[✏]";
        post_title_h3.appendChild (edit_a);

        post.classList.add ("edit_link_added");
      }
    }
  });

[Technology] Memento: estate possession distribution

gitlab.com/aquarichy/kosmomemento

A while ago, I lost a dear family member.  It was a very challenging time, and a very important and heavy activity was helping box up their life, room by room.  There were a lot of memories tied to the physical possessions, and it was hard to make decisions for them at the time, so off they went to storage.

It's been long enough that the beneficiaries need to make collective decisions as to the disposal and distribution of the possessions (storage isn't cheap!)   So, as a fun personal project and an exercise in simple web development, I wrote Memento, which generates tables from a catalogue of photos to allow a group of people to vote on actions for each item.  

 As an example, imagine the beneficiaries are the characters from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and the possessions are heirloom doughnuts that had been scattered across a couple cities (rather than rooms):

If you find this and find it useful, or are interesting in using it and need some help setting it up, let me know.
