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).
adminBookmarklet was created to minimize effort.
It's for "lazy" people (like me 😀) 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 ➡️ adminBookmarklet
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.
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
- 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
