Get story ID from a NewsCycle Content file / NCC bookmark
Highlight the long ugly bit of code that starts with "javascript" and ends with an ungodly mess of punctuation marks.
Hit Control-C to copy.
javascript:(function(){var thingyfeedurl = new URLSearchParams(__gh__coreData.pageData.buckets[0].feedURL).get('lopenr');var thingyimgurl = document.querySelectorAll('meta[property="og:image"]')[0].content.split('/AR-')[1].split(".jpg")[0];var thingymessage = "Story ID may be: " + thingyfeedurl;if(thingyimgurl != thingyfeedurl){thingymessage += "\r\nBut could be: " + thingyimgurl};if(window.location.href.split("/")[3].toLowerCase()=="zz"){thingymessage+="\r\nMake sure you look under site code ZZ with that ID"};alert(thingymessage);})();
Now you need to make a new bookmark.
In Chrome: Control-Shift-O (like Oscar). Three dots in top-left corner; New bookmark. For name of bookmark, try, whatever, "Find NCC story ID" or something. For URL, click in the box and hit Control-V to paste. Once you have the bookmark you can drag it to your bookmark bar, if you use one.
In Firefox: Control-Shift-B (like bacon!). Right-click somewhere in that mess maybe near the top; left-click on New Bookmark. Name it "Find NCC story ID" or something. Under Location, click in the box and hit Control-V to paste. Once you have the bookmark you can drag it to your bookmark bar, if you use one.
