Browser Extensions

Get for Chrome

Get for Firefox

Bookmarklet

Bookmarklets are a way to get the same functionality on browsers that do not have a packaged extension.

Desktop browsers

  • On desktop browsers, drag this link: Yawning Portal Search to your browser's bookmarks toolbar
  • That's it

Mobile browsers

Mobile browsers typically do not have a "drag to toolbar" option, so, if yours does not, it is a bit longer of a process. If you have a browser that syncs bookmarks from desktop to mobile, like a Mac and a linked iPhone, you may be able to use the desktop instructions on your computer browser, and have it sync to your device. Otherwise, you need to take some steps to install manually on your mobile device:

  • Create a bookmark on your browser. Name it "YP Search". The second line (the URL) can link anywhere, because youa re going to change it
  • Copy all the bookmarlet code from inside this textarea

  • Edit the bookmark you just created
  • Paste what you copied earlier into the second line (the URL)

Usage

After it is installed, to use:

  • Go to the WoTC's Yawning Portal Page
  • Click on one of the links under "Register for Games Below", such as the D&D Celebration link:
  • Wait for the page to load
  • If you installed a browser extension, the search widget will just show up
  • If you are using a bookmarklet, you will have to select the bookmarklet you installed
  • Note for Chrome on Android users:

    You will have to search for the bookmarklet in your address bar. In other words, if you installed it under the name 'YP Search', start typing YP, and the bookmarklet will appear as a selection. Tap on it from there. That is the only way Chrome on Android will execute a bookmarklet on a page

And see the search form above the list of events:
