PostToTumblr 0.8 – 8000 Users and Counting

I cant believe how well my humble little extension for the chrome browser is doing. 8000 users when just a few months ago I was celebrating 1.5k.

There were so many requests for new features and things that I thought I would push an update out this evening to add a little more functionality.

From the change log:

- v.0.8 -- 19/06/11 --
+ Text, Page, and Links are now supported in addition to Images
+ Added an app icon to the bar for easy access to the options

To highlight these new changes I decided to update the promo video too:

I have also added a donation button into the options. I have no idea if anyone will click it, an interesting experiment tho.

If you have it installed it should auto-update, if not go grab it over on the chrome app store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dbpicbbcpanckagpdjflgojlknomoiah

PostToTumblr v0.6

Just a quick update to my chrome extension tonight. I recently had an email asking if there was a way I could make it so that you could send a Tweet at the same time as posting to Tumblr.

After a quick check on the Tumblr API to confirm that yes Tumblr supports the “post-to-twitter” option I spun out this little option.

So now you have three options for tweeting when posting: “no”, “auto” and “prompt”.

Chrome should auto-update the extension for you soon. If you dont have it hope over to the gallery page here.

Post To Tumblr Version 0.3

Just made a quick little update to my chrome extension “Post To Tumblr”.

In this update I finally worked out how to catch bad username or password returns from the Tumbr API. Basically it just involved me using the ajax rather than the post jQuery function and using “async:false” like so:

$.ajax({
		  url: 'http://www.tumblr.com/api/write',
		  type: 'POST',
		  data:o,
		  async: false,
		  complete: function(transport)
		  {
				if(transport.status == 200 || transport.status == 201)
				{
					 postingNote.cancel();
					 var postedNote = webkitNotifications.createNotification('images/icon48.png', "Image Posted!", info.srcUrl);
					 setTimeout(function() { postedNote.cancel(); }, 5000);
					 postedNote.show();
				}
				else if(transport.status == 403)
				{
					postingNote.cancel();
					var errorNote = webkitNotifications.createNotification('images/icon48.png', "Posting Error!", "Bad email or password");
					setTimeout(function() { errorNote.cancel(); }, 5000);
					errorNote.show();
				}
 
			}
		 });

In addition I have added some notifications to indicate when the extension is doing something.

I have made a little demo video below to show this off:

Chrome should auto update for you. If you dont have the extension yet head over to the extension gallery to grab it now!
