Nothing happens when clicked

[ghost]

Hi!

I installed nvAlt and this chrome extension.

When I first used it, Chrome asked me if I wanted to allow it to run the external app to handle the URLs. I said yes.

However, whether I select text on a page or not, when I click on the extension icon, nothing happens.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

The only thing that I think might be interesting is the order that I installed/did things:

• I had NV installed.
• I installed the chrome extension.
• I installed nvAlt
• I uninstalled NV ***
• I then tried to click on the extension icon on a web page
• Chrome prompted for "access", which I approved
• then it did nothing, and still does nothing when I click on the icon

OSX 10.11.6 (15G31) Google Chrome Version 51.0.2704.103 (64-bit) Save to nvALT 1.0.1 nvAlt Version 2.2b (111)

I have the same problem. Same steps as above.

FYI, I uninstalled it and am using this instead:

Hey guys,

I'm also looking for a tool to save web content to nvALT as Markdown, if possible including the source URL. On my setup (OSX 10.10, Chrome v52) the Save to nvALT Chrome extension sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (probably have to do with the website, not sure need to test more). I tried the one you recommend but it doesn't work at all on my side - is it working for you ? I've read that it was using Instapaper mobilizer and it's been deprecated... I'm also using PopClip which works pretty well (with the nvALT extension) to copy selected text into nvALT (without the source URL unfortunately).

Thanks in advance, let's find that perfect tool we're looking for :)

I definitely edited it. Here is mine:

Thanks a bunch : ) Works with all kinds of websites, and even saves the source URL inside the nvALT note, exactly what I was looking for ! 👍 Modified it as well - here's my version in case it can be useful to someone else : (just copy the JS code into the URL field of a new bookmark in your browser bookmark bar) :

javascript:(function(){ var w=window,d=document,pageSelectedTxt=w.getSelection?w.getSelection():(d.getSelection)?d.getSelection():(d.selection?d.selection.createRange().text:0),pageTitle=d.title,pageUri=w.location.href,tmplt=""; tmplt="From ["+pageTitle+"]("+pageUri+"):\n\n"; if(pageSelectedTxt!="") { pageSelectedTxt=">%20"+pageSelectedTxt; pageSelectedTxt=pageSelectedTxt.replace(/(\r\n|\n+|\r)/gm,"\n"); pageSelectedTxt=pageSelectedTxt.replace(/\n/g,"\n>%20\n>%20"); w.location.href="nvalt://make/?txt="+encodeURIComponent(tmplt+pageSelectedTxt)+"&title="+encodeURIComponent(pageTitle) } else { w.location.href="nvalt://make/?url="+encodeURIComponent(pageUri)+"&title="+encodeURIComponent(pageTitle) } })();

Cheers
