Sympoze Bookmarklet

There are two great ways to make submission to Sympoze easier! Sympoze users can place a bookmarklet in their browser toolbar. Philosophy bloggers can embed a button in their blog posts.

Sympoze Users:

Follow the instructions below to create your bookmarklet in your browser. Whenever you're reading a blog post (or other page) that you want to submit to Sympoze simply click on the bookmark. You'll be taken to the Sympoze submit page. The URL and title will be automatically put in for you.

Internet Explorer: Rightclick the link below. Choose "Add to favorites"
Firefox: Drag the link below to your Bookmarks Toolbar
Opera: Rightclick the link below, and choose "Bookmark Link"
Safari: Drag the link below to your Bookmarks Toolbar

Philosophy Bloggers:

You can paste the HTML code for the link above in your blog post template, and whenever a Sympoze user reads your post and likes it - you've given them an easy way to submit the post to Sympoze.

Currently, I have three different bits of code, a generic code, a WordPress Code, and a Blogger Code. (The TypePad code wasn't working properly - I'm working on that)

IMPORTANTWhich ever code you use, make sure you post it in the template for your posts. You want the link to display at the end of each blog post. That way users can submit the particular blog post they're reading.

Generic Code:

Disclaimer: I've tried this and it works. The only drawback is that users have to be at the permalink of the post for it to submit the permalink.

<a title="Sympoze This!" href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);t=(document.title);void(open('http://www.sympoze.com/node/add/drigg?url='+escape(q)+'&title='+escape(t),'','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));"><img src="http://www.sympoze.com/path_to_your_image.png" alt="Sympoze This!" /></a>

WordPress Code for Philosophy Bloggers

UPDATE: Here's the code I'm using on WordPress. The reader does not have to be on the permalink in order for this link to submit the permalink. It's WordPress specific. It won't work in TypePad or Blogger. The Blogger code is below. (I'm working on the TypePad code now)

<a title="Sympoze This!" href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);t=(document.title);void(open('http://www.sympoze.com/node/add/drigg?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));"><img src="http://www.sympoze.com/path_to_your_image.png" alt="Sympoze This!" /></a>

Blogger Code for Philosophy Bloggers (I tested this in Blogger - It works):

<a title="Sympoze This!" href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);t=(document.title);void(open('http://www.sympoze.com/node/add/drigg?url=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>&title=<$BlogItemTitle$>','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));"><img src="http://www.sympoze.com/path_to_your_image.png" alt="Sympoze This!" /></a>

Known Issue
If the story has already been submitted by another user when you submit via these methods, you'll get an error message and be taken to the front page. The maintainer for the software I'm using says that in the next release, you'll be redirected to the story (which is way more convenient). I should be able to fix that within the next few weeks. Until then, I still recommend using the bookmarklet - it's still an awesome tool.
