JavaScript Bookmarklet to enable Mastodon publishing for a WordPress.com post that is edited in the Classic Editor

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/02

I quickly hacked together this JavaScript Bookmarklet today, so it is without any checks and assumes you have enabled one Mastodon account for publishing, that you are hosting your blog on WordPress.com, and using the Classic Editor:

javascript:(function(){
  publicizeFormEditHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-edit');
  publicizeFormEditHref.click();
  mastodonCheckboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('wpas-submit-mastodon');
  mastodonCheckboxes[0].checked = true;
  publicizeFormHideHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-hide');
  publicizeFormHideHref.click();
  updateButtonHref = document.getElementById('publish');
  updateButtonHref.click();
})();

The above code is the state of [Wayback/Archive] JavaScript Bookmarklet for the WordPress classic editor which enables mastodon publishing (assuming you have one mastodon publishing account enabled … )  and due to be improved in a later blog post.

This will enable the currently edited post to be published to Mastodon, then update/publish the post.

On enabling one Mastodon account for publishing:

Kris helped me motivate to enter the Fediverse, so here I am: @wiert@mastodon.social

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/11/18

Given Elon Musk taking over Twitter, I decided to create an account in the federated social network Mastodon part of the Fediverse realm. In my case it is [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers (@wiert@mastodon.social) – Mastodon (which you can visit at mastodon.social/@wiert).

Right now the account is rudimentary. More meta-data and media will be added later.

Mastodon is open source at [Wayback/Archive] mastodon/mastodon: Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community and you can join via [Wayback/Archive] Mastodon – Decentralized social media (joinmastodon.org) after choosing a Mastodon server/website. I have chosen [Wayback/Archive] Home – Mastodon (mastodon.social).

Given a Mastodon has a trunk, messages on Mastodon are called “Toots”.

For now some of the Tweets and links that Kris ([Wayback/Archive] Kris (@isotopp@chaos.social) – chaos.social) posted helping me to start on Mastodon.

This is fine #Twitter

This is fine #Twitter (illustration inspired by KC Green; creation video below)

(Edit 20221114: script for high-res images; more tweets from Jan) (Edit 20221116: hat-tip to Sam) (Edit 20221120: archiving t.co links by Michele Weigle) (Edit 20221122: added article by Johan van der Knijff) (20221128 Tapue export tool by Mike Hucka)

Time to be prepared:

The below will help you exporting your Twitter content (Tweets, DMs, media), perform some conversions on them and optionally delete (parts of) your content.

Important: keep your Twitter account afterwards (to prevent someone from creating a new account with the same handle).

Lot’s of interest in Mastodon and other social media projects in the Fediverse now that Musk tries to reign Twitter.

Jan explained how easy it is to your existing Twitter peers in the Fediverse and import them using fedifinder.glitch.me:
