Today’s tip will be amazingly obvious to some and others will smack their heads at its useful simplicity wondering how they ever developed an EE site without it. Members from both parties should feel free to share other amazingly obvious tips that might be helpful to people learning EE.

Great tip, after which i started poking around a bit in the control-panel and thought of a time-saver.
It shoud be farely easy to grab the current selected text in the textarea with javascript and pass it to a
window.open http://www.google.com/search?q=...

Hi Leslie,
Just wanted to say thanks for the video. Whilst I do already do that and to tell the truth all the tags that I do use are pretty much stuck in my head now from many many sleepless nights that it didn’t really show me anything new but I’m sure that it will be of a major help to a lot of people new to EE so thanks for posting it.
A question though that is sort of related to this kind of thing. Yesterday I wasn’t feeling too well and just about everything I was touching was going wrong. You know, one of those days! 😊
I was trying to find in the manual the {encode="[email protected]" title="Email Me!"} code but typing in the first part of that tag got me nowhere. Luckily I had used it on another site and so logged-in to that site and found what I needed but this was after about 25 minutes of searching the manual for the code. I know that it must be in there somewhere but I couldn’t for the life of me find it no matter what I searched for, and I tried a lot of search options!! 😊
Just wondering if it was just me as I was having a bad day or whether there is some easier way I could have found what I was looking for?
Sorry for piggy-backing the post like this but I thought that it was kind of related and so the best place to post this? If not then please feel free to delete or move this post or do whatever you wish with it!! 😊
Best wishes,
Mark

If I type encode= into the User Guide search box the first result is the Global Variables page which is where the encode feature is described. Do you get a different search result?

Hi Leslie,
Please ignore me and throw me out of the discussion and this planet if you wish!!! 😊
You are absolutely right. I didn’t see that yesterday when I was searching because I, for some reason, was expecting to see the {encode="" title=""} somewhere in the search results. Silly me. I feel rather daft now!!
Anyway thanks again for posting this video. I said before that it hadn’t really helped me and how wrong could I have been!!! 😊 😊
Sorry for being a dolt!!
Best wishes,
Mark

Leslie,
what was that option: “jump to template” on the screen? New EE version or I need to get some sleep? 😊

Probably a new feature in 1.61. Well spotted 😉

Sorry, the answer is pretty boring.

Damn well it worth a go…
Does my OpenSearch plugin work with Safari too?

Oh my. Na ja, thanks, Leslie. It was a good try to discover something from 1.6.1.
