What do you mean by sniffing the GUID of the current page?

comment:2 Changed 13 months ago by mrclay

The bookmarklet would guess the GUID from the URL.

This is talking about a reverse page handler. This was suggested in #250 with the comment "If this is useful someone will think of it again.

For the record, I think the pros don't merit the implementation woes.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

This is related to my desire to have the concept of a "page entity" (i.e. a pointer to the current entity being displayed); only set if the page is an entity view page of course.

That would obviate the need for this feature, because the info could be served via an api, rather than guessed heuristically, which just seems like a better solution.
