adminBookmarklet
What is adminBookmarklet?
adminBookmarklet is a dynamic bookmark written in pure JavaScript to quickly access the login page of your CMS or E-Commerce system (might work with custom systems as well).
Who is this for and why?
adminBookmarklet was created to minimize effort.
It's for "lazy" people (like me đ) or those who don't want to waste time with copy-pasting URL's to login.
Developers, content managers, marketing people; everyone who works with websites or shops.
The story behind:
I was working for a web agency with a lot of customers and websites.
Everytime I needed to login into the backend of a website I had to do the following steps:
- Copy the frontend URL/Domain
- Open new tab
- Paste, maybe remove unwanted characters/path
- Add the admin path
I was tired of doing this a million times each day âĄď¸ adminBookmarklet
How does it work?
You got 2 options:
- After creating a new bookmark in your browser, you can paste the minified script into the url field of the bookmark.\
- Or - the easier way - you can just drag the button from https://tomlutzenberger.github.io/adminBookmarklet to your bookmark bar.
Now when you click on it, the script opens a new window/tab and adds the admin path to the current website's domain.
Since v2.0 a couple of systems are detected automatically.
The fallback /admin will be used if your system is not supported (Please let me know, so I can add it)
In order to detect the system, its name must be present in the <head> tag.
What systems are supported?
What URLs are supported?
adminBookmarklet supports almost any kind of URL.
- Domains with protocol: http://yourdomain.com
- Domains without protocol: yourdomain.com
- Domains with ports: http://your.domain.com:8080
- Subdomains: http://your.domain.com
- IP's: 192.168.1.1/path
What browsers are supported?
Browser Issues
- Both Vivaldi and Firefox < 50 keep the JavaScript in the URL bar after clicking the bookmarklet
- Edge is untestable due to the fact that it won't let you edit bookmarks and is therefore failing. See Microsoft Answers: Edit bookmarks in Microsoft Edge
