Pass parameters when using bookmark URLs?

Russ

@insaneoctane, I could add the ability to add a URL parameter to the bookmark URL's. Would that work?

Like this:

https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=bookmarktoken&params=foo

EDIT: I added that capability. Now you can add &params=foo to the end of your bookmark URL to send a parameter of foo to your command. That assumes you've enabled parameters on your command of course.

@russ said in Pass parameters when using bookmark URLs?:

https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=bookmarktoken&params=foo

Russ, that is fantastic that you could add that capability so quickly! I tried the API too and I'm getting the same CORS error. I'm SO not that knowledgeable with CORS/networks stuff, but I think the CORS error is because my javascript isn't being allowed to GET the bookmark (or API) without a proper header from triggercmd.com domain???? Have you seen or dealt with this before?

Here's the errors I'm seeing in the dev console from chrome:

Access to fetch at 'https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=XXXXX&params=75' from origin 'http://127.0.0.1' has been blocked by CORS policy: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains the invalid value ''. Have the server send the header with a valid value, or, if an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

@insaneoctane, I used this web page to test, and I wasn't able to reproduce the error.

Can you send me something that would help me reproduce it?

        },
        function(data,status){

@Russ,
Just curious if you ran your script from triggercmd.com domain?

Russ

@insaneoctane, no I served that page from w3schools. Please try it here:

@russ
I can't thank you enough for your time on this issue!
I ran the snippet from the W3 site you linked to, clicked the button and got nothing. To see what was happening (I'm in Chrome) I hit F12 and opened up the developers console and saw CORS errors. Here's a snip from the console:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=(youBookmarktoken)&params=Donald Duck' from origin 'https://tryit.w3schools.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains the invalid value ''.

@insaneoctane, I see the same thing in the developers console, but it does actually run Notepad with Donald Duck as the parameter if I give it an actual bookmark token.

Did you try that?

Insaneoctane

@russ,
I did try it after you asked and yes, it working even though there are CORS errors in the console. Once I saw those, I quit troubleshooting, but it appears it is working. Thanks again for your efforts and a great app!

@russ

Can I add more than one parameter and, if yes, how is the syntax ?

Russ

@bugtrapper, you should be able to pass multiple parameters by putting a space between them, or a %20 between them, like this:

https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=bookmarktoken&params=foo bar

or

https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=bookmarktoken&params=foo&20bar

Thank you
