Add bookmarklet - Login failure

[Webschmied]

Testing the bookmarklet feature (link added to my bookmarks), I can't use this thing because I always get the login page (with Firefox 1.5.0.6). Every time I open a new browser window, I must do a new login. I remember in an earlier version I could test it without problems. What's wrong?

Can you please report this via http://bugs.lifetype.net?

It is becasue you enable http cache. And the browser cache your previous page. Just disable your http cache, you will se it works.

You (Webschmied) might be running into the issue where you aren't actually logged in until you click on the blog. Just logging in to the dashboard page doesn't count as a "real" login.

Ok, let's see if I understand this. If so, I am having same problem as Webs.

I open my blog and go to 'new post'. I then right click bookmarkilet and 'Add to Favorites'.

I then go to the link that you posted. While on that page, I go to my bookmarklet favorite.

When I do this I get the admin log-in page.

In regards to the suggestion of turning off http cache, is this the setting under Administration/Global/Templates? If so I removed the 1800 setting and still get log-in page.

When you see the login page, you should login and then click your blog.
Then you can go back to the page you want to bookmark. I don't know if there is a way around that.

Doesn't that kind of confuse the user? Also, can I know if there has been any enhancement to this feature in 1.2.5? It still seems to be the same...

Also, perhaps there should be a help or something there to explain what that feature is, and how it works.

Thank you for your time.

I don't think anyone likes it on the new post page, but I haven't heard any suggestions about where to put it.

I don't think any parts of it have changed in 1.2.5.

A change like this would be good to get in 2.0, so if you have suggestions about how it should work, go for it.
