"Add to TRM!" question

lemayp says:
Hello,

There is either something I don't understand about the "Add to RTM!" button that we can add to our browser or something is not working properly with my browser (I use Google Chrome).

When I am on a site, sometime I won't have the time to read the page and I need a reminder to return reading the page. That's what I thought the "Add the RTM!" would be used for. But clicking on the button will add a new task containing the web page title, but it won't keep the URL in the task attributes. Wouldn't it be natural for the url to be automatically added to the newly created task? I keep going updating it manually, making the feature less efficient.

Thanks,

Pierre

Try this java_script instead:

java_script:(function(){h='m.rememberthemilk.com';p='/add';if(window.getSelection){t=window.getSelection();}else%20if(document.getSelection){t=document.getSelection();}else%20if(document.selection){t=document.selection.createRange().text;};cp='http://'+h+p+'?name='+((null==t||t==""||t==undefined)?encodeURIComponent(document.title):t)+'&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);w=window.open(cp,'addwindow','status=no,toolbar=no,width=250,height=560,resizable=yes');setTimeout(function(){w.focus();},500);})();

Remove the "_" in java_script.

Rajjan,

This is exacly what I needed! I clicked on the address bar to have the URL selected and then clicked on the new "Add to RTM" button, and I immediatly got the task name and the URL updated! Much faster than previous version.

Thanks a lot.

Just forgot to mention that such solution is also working in Google Chrome.

Glad you liked it!

If you select some text, you get that as your task name. Otherwise you get the page title as your task name. The URL you get all the time.
