New Review Tool

Post by jb »

Hello friends,

In the header of the forum you will see a link that says "Get the Song Fight Review Tool!". Clicking that link will take you to a page* that contains what we call a "bookmarklet". A "bookmarklet" is a special link you can drag to your bookmark bar. When you click a bookmarklet on your bookmark bar, it can do stuff!**

In this case, if you are currently looking at a page on Songfight.net or Songfight.org, it will open an interface to help you write reviews of the current Song Fight! You can load a template for writing a review on the board, and you can play the current fight's songs right from the tool. Additionally, you don't have to worry about losing your work because it stores every change you make to your browser's "local storage".

(Note that it won't load the fight if you are not currently on a songfight.net or songfight.org page, because of security rules in your browser.)

* Why didn't I just put the bookmarklet into a link in this post? Because PHPBB doesn't allow me to put javascript into posts. SOOOOOO hence the separate page to display the bookmarklet.
** Now, I haven't tested it on my phone or anything like that, just on my desktop. And I haven't tested it on Firefox, or Windows, etc. Only on my Mac with Chrome. SOOOOO the proverbial "your mileage may vary" definitely does apply.
