Today is a small update day it seems.

I have updated my Post To Tumblr extension again. I was getting a couple of requests for the ability to add a 'caption' to a post before the image is uploaded so I cranked out this little feature. You can enable it in the options.

Once enabled rather than immediately posting the image it will popup a new tab allowing you to add a caption or whatever to your post:

Its not perfect, I would have preferred the pre formatting window to open in a div popup on the current page instead of a whole new tab, but for now this solution is simple and it works.

I must admit I borrowed the idea from another Tumblr posting extension called "Share on Tumblr". The code is ultra simple:

<html> <head> <script> // Thanks to share on tumblr extension for this chrome.tabs.getSelected(null, function (tab) { var url = getParam(tab.url, "u"); //var url = encodeURIComponent(getParam(tab.url,"u")); var finalurl = "https://www.tumblr.com/share?v=3&amp;u=" + url + "&amp;s="; document.getElementById("container").src = finalurl; }); // Thanks https://www.netlobo.com/url_query_string_javascript.html function getParam(url, name) { name = name.replace(/[[]/, "\[").replace(/[]]/, "\]"); var regexS = "[\?&amp;]" + name + "=([^&amp;#]*)"; var regex = new RegExp(regexS); var results = regex.exec(url); if (results == null) return ""; else return results[1]; } </script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="header"> <h1>Post To Tumblr</h1> </div> <div class="section-header first"><em>Format your post below</em></div> <br /> <iframe id="container" style="width:500px;height:430px;border:0px" src=""></iframe> </body> </html>

It just opens an iframe with the Tumblr Share page. Simples!
