Hello inSpired Community,
Though trying to perform as many moderator actions as possible from control, I find myself repeatedly in the situation where I'm looking at a topic on the live site, yet need to go to the same topic on control.
The way I'm currently doing this goes as follows:
1. I'm using ClipMenu (Mac only, but I'm sure there's alternatives for Windows) and have set up a snippet called see a topic on control. It's basically the generic URL of our control environment.
2. I'll highlight the generic part of the topic URL in my browser's address field...
3. ... pull up the aforementioned snippet...
4. ... and hit enter.
This is easy enough of a workaround for me, yet it remains a workaround, not a solution.
I hear there's other options out there (such as a script performing the same thing with 1 click), but I would also like to extend this topic to a feature request - this would be a really nice feature to have.
Is anyone else facing a similar situation? How are you dealing with it?
Cheers
Mathis

Does this help, Mathis?

By the way, I use PhraseExpress to have a quick way to paste commonly used phrases.

Hi Mathis,
here a quick rundown on how I got a bookmarklet to do the work for me:
I created a new bookmark in the browser window, gave it a name ("move to control") and pasted the following code into it:
(function(){window.location=window.location.toString().replace('de.discussions.tomtom.com','tomtom-de.insided.com');}())
It should look something like this:
Of course you might want to change the urls so that they fit your Community.
Cheers,
Julian

Thanks @Jurgen & @Julian,
Very helpful. I guess the terminology wasn’t entirely clear for me when I created the topic in the first place - otherwise, I would’ve added a reply to the topic that Jurgen referred to.

It would be great to see Insided adopt the same approach as Wordpress for this.
In Wordpress, when admins are authenticated and visit the front-end, an extra menu bar is shown on top of the page to go directly to the backend or to do some basic admin tasks related to the front-end page you're visiting...
