safari read later unread not read script JavaScript API help application programming interface

I'm trying out Safari 4 and the big thing I miss is being able to one-click "read it later" and have the tab closed and sent to my Diigo bookmarks as unread.

Any way to easily replicate that in Safari?

Thanks.

Re http://www.diigo.com/tools/post_to_diigo and http://www.diigo.com/tools/api it should be possible to script part of this.

I'll tie this enquiry to an API-related topic.

> one-click "read it later"

We can vary the script used for Post to Diigo, to include a tag such as

unread

<div class="cArrow"> </div><div class="cContentInner">> one-click "read it later" <br /> <br /> We can vary the script used for Post to Diigo, to include a tag such as <br /> <br /> unread</div>

Is that something I do on my end?

Also, this may not be the right place to ask, but are there any plans to to implement the full Diigo toolbar in Safari? Is that possible?

Thanks,
Russ

we cannot do a full safari toolbar. but we may offer another bookmarklet specifically for "Read later".

what do you think?

If you like,

1. drag a Post to Diigo button to your Bookmarks Bar

2. control-click the bookmark, Edit Name, give it a name that's meaningful to you

3. control-click the bookmark, Edit Address, paste the JavaScript that's offered at http://pastebin.ca/1456519

— postscript: see comment #11 below.

Note: I don't know JavaScript, and some of what's there is experimental.

Having the bookmark at position 2 in the toolbar (screen shot below) allows me to key
command-2
to post to Diigo and pre-populate the Tags: field with
unread

Looking forward to whatever Wade and colleagues conjure up for us :)

An excellent offer.

Critically: all such bookmarklets should allow the user to specify private or obscure as the default.

Cross reference Diigolet should allow the user to prefer obscurity as a default for new bookmarks.

That paste has expired. Alternative paste: http://pastie.textmate.org/557427

As before, it's experimental. Things such as
```
shared=no
```
```
read=no
```
```
unread=yes
```
```
readlater=yes
```
```
readitlater=yes
```
-are not in the Diigo API and/or not effective in this context; they're included to provoke thought/discussion.
