No Software Patents!

Under the influence of the patent system and big industry lobbyists, the European Union is on the verge of making a huge mistake: to pass a law that would legalize software patents.

 

AT Bookmarks 1.4.2 (stable) released

Document Actions
Taking your bookmarks back where they belong: into the web ;)
Bookmarks have one major drawback. They are local to the machine. Active internet users using more then one PC/OS need to store and access their bookmarks online.

Features

  • i18n (english, german, italian, polish, french, dutch)
  • dmoz like view, the number of links in a folder are displayed with the folder
  • Collapsable folders, you can have a look into subfolders without having to open them
  • XBEL Export to synchronize your Bookmarks with your browser
  • RSS 2 feeds, that can be used as Live Bookmarks
  • Replaces Favorites folder. The Favorites folder in plone is a nice thing but not really of much use. In none of the sites I have set up members are really using it. ATBookmarks replaces the addtoFavorites.py script with its own version.

Demo

See it in action on maenner-club.de.

Download

You can download the current version from  the product area on plone.org or from maenner-club.de

Usage

ATBookmarks provides a folderish type 'Bookmark Folder'. BookmarkFolders have an Id (part of the URL), a Title (the name, thats what you see in your navigation), and a description.

Add a BookmarkFolder to your Site. Go to this folder i.e. www.example.test/links/bookmark_view. There you will find the javascipt e.g.:

  javascript:void(win=window.open ('http://www.maenner-club.de/Links/linux/bookmark_view?a=' + location.href + '&t=' + document.title)) 
you will have to add to your favorites (in your browser Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks). Now every time you click on that bookmark a new window opens that lets you add that Bookmark to that folder. The URI and Title are taken from the bookmarked page. Its an good idea to provide an description, especially when you are maintaining a public accessible Bookmark Folder. If you want to have your bookmarks in a subfolder just click on this folder the values for Link and title will get propagated to it.

Firefox

Bookmarks Synchronizer is a Mozilla Firefox extension that lets you connect to an FTP/HTTP server and synchronize your bookmarks that are stored in an XML file. Setup is easy; just write in your server address, username, password and a name for the XML file (by default called xbel.xml). A pagetemplate xbel.xml is included in ATBookmarks to get the maximum performance out of this product. It has a cool auto-update feature so that when you start up Firefox, it will download an XBEL file from a remote (or local) server. It can easily be used with ATBookmarks (Download only, Upload TTP). http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/booksync
The RSS feeds can be used as Live Bookmarks.

Import of existing Bookmarks

You can import your bookmarks by simply uploading an xbel conformant bookmark file. Bookmarks or bookmarkfolders without an id will get an automatically generated one. Duplicate or otherwise illegal ids are silently ignored, so check if everthing went smooth. This implies that you CANNOT update bookmarks by uploading your xbel file again.

Neither of the download links to plone.org or maenner-club.de are working for me. Where can get ATBookmarks?
