How can I learn the numeric ID of a group bookmark?

Related bug

Since alerts are not being received, I have absolutely no way of getting what I need :-(

Another example of a group bookmark:
http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/1013589

I know that bookmark number only because I clicked 'Comment' in the e-mail before trashing the e-mail.

I need a way of discovering those numbers, those URLs, without e-mail.

Bump!

http://www.diigo.com/ failing similarly, problem reported to Diigo via e-mail.

I'm not sure what was wrong, but it affected only one browser and eventually prevented Diigolet from appearing.

I cleared from Safari all cookies that contained the string
diigo
then logged in and all was fine.

Problem recurred. For all three of the posts represented at http://pastebin.ca/1686748,

400 Bad Request

Again the workaround is to remove all diigo cookies then sign in.

Thanks to Jean-Lou Dupont† I had an opportunity to experiment with an extension to the developer channel version of Chrome, presenting Diigolet 3.15b23 always, in all windows and tabs.

The extension seems to work perfectly :) but version 3.15b23 of Diigolet is not perfectly suited to an always-on approach.

http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/Documents/diigo-public/299 offers ten screen shots (maybe more to follow).

* shots 001-007 show Diigolet hindering use of Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) basic to Exchange Server 2003

* shot 008 highlights the security alert; 009 shows the alert-free security icon that appears when Chrome is run without the extension

* shot 010 shows Diigolet hindering use of the Diigo site (v3 beta).

Security

The security alerts are proper. However: some users may misunderstand their origin. Bear in mind, classroom or enterprise environments in which an extension may be pre-installed, users may be unaware of (or disinterested in) the Diigo way of things. Signing out from Diigo does not prevent these alerts.

Modal dialogues

It's good that Diigo alerts the user when pages are not supported. However: a modal dialogue is not the best form of alert; it prevents loading of the page until the user acknowledges the information. On Mac OS X I might expect such alerts to be presented via Growl.

Obscuring page content

The main problem: obscurity.

We should aim to never obscure any page content.

http://digg.com/u14ThE shows a toolbar that does not obscure things, but this comparison may be inappropriate. Digg and Diigo are very different creatures.

Other thoughts

FWIW I like the idea of a sidebar approach to Diigolet.††
Can such things be done with HTML 5? I wonder.

Sorry, that URL doesn't have the desired effect.
http://digg.com/http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum should work.

Re http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_encodeURIComponent.asp
these examples use the JavaScript encodeURIComponent() Function; this reduces the likelihood of the end results breaking when you share them using Diigo.

http://pastebin.ca/diff.php?id1=1678365&id2=1678376 highlights the script of a bookmarklet that uses my own UID.

To discover your own UID:

1. from within a meta view, click Annotated view

2. wait for the short URL to redirect to a long URL

3. you'll find your UID number in the midst of the long URL.

Post to Diigo, tag with year, tag with month, tag with date, tag unread

http://pastebin.ca/1678410
http://pastebin.ca/1679045

* includes a tag: 2009
* includes a tag: 2009-11
* includes a tag: 2009-11-19
* edit the script daily
* I use this variant of Post to Diigo to workaround the broken timeline

Can anyone improve the JavaScript at http://pastebin.ca/1679045?

In a nutshell:

* I want to append (not overwrite) tags
* one tag for the year, one for the month, one for the date
* I don't need to see a post/bookmark dialogue of any sort (but if one must appear, I don't mind)
* I'd like the date to be detected and entered (as a tag) automatically; not hard-coded in the script.

Re http://www.diigo.com/tools/api I guess that I should use PUT instead of POST

Using the Web Inspector of Safari to inspect a Revise tags dialogue, I wonder whether
editTagOption=1
or
editTagOption=0
will effectively append (not overwrite) tags.

I see JavaScript Date Object at http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp but I know so little about JavaScript, no idea how to use what's there.

Observation

If I follow the link to the poster's profile then click
Send Message
then Diigo may respond
Sorry, you are not allowed to send message to this user.

Suggestions

1. A join of a group by person P
should be interpreted as an allowance for the owners and moderators of that group to send messages to person P.

In other words, if person P prefers to not receive messages, that preference may be over-ridden in a group joining situation.

2. To the three current options,
Approve | Ban from this group | Ban from this group and flag as spammer
add a fourth:
    | Decline

Opting to decline should either
send a standard form of wording, or
allow the owner/moderator to enter custom wording.

(For the moment I'm ignoring the rest of that topic. I don't remember posting it!)
