Tools Page Bookmarklets Step 4 Implementation Summary
Stage 1 - Add tools route and nav entry
Changes:
Added public
GET /tools/handling in the application route dispatch.Added a shared navigation entry for Tools with its own active section.
Added a minimal
tools.phppage template so the new route resolves through the normal page shell.
Verification:
Ran
php -r 'require __DIR__ . "/autoload.php"; $db = sys_get_temp_dir() . "/tools-stage1-" . bin2hex(random_bytes(4)) . ".sqlite3"; @unlink($db); $app = new ForumRewrite\Application(__DIR__, __DIR__ . "/tests/fixtures/parity_minimal_v1", $db); ob_start(); $app->handle("GET", "/tools/"); $html = ob_get_clean(); echo (strpos($html, "<h1>Tools</h1>") !== false ? "TOOLS_OK\n" : "TOOLS_FAIL\n"); echo (strpos($html, "href=\"/tools/\"") !== false ? "NAV_OK\n" : "NAV_FAIL\n");'and gotTOOLS_OKandNAV_OK.Ran
php -r 'require __DIR__ . "/autoload.php"; $db = sys_get_temp_dir() . "/tools-stage1-routes-" . bin2hex(random_bytes(4)) . ".sqlite3"; @unlink($db); $app = new ForumRewrite\Application(__DIR__, __DIR__ . "/tests/fixtures/parity_minimal_v1", $db); ob_start(); $app->handle("GET", "/users/"); $html = ob_get_clean(); echo (strpos($html, "href=\"/tools/\"") !== false ? "USERS_NAV_TOOLS_OK\n" : "USERS_NAV_TOOLS_FAIL\n");'and gotUSERS_NAV_TOOLS_OK.
Notes:
Stage 1 intentionally ships only the route/nav skeleton; bookmarklet content lands in Stage 2.
php tests/run.php --filter LocalAppSmokeTestwas not a usable targeted check because the test runner ignored--filterand surfaced unrelated pre-existingWriteApiSmokeTestfailures.
Stage 2 - Add bookmarklet content and compose prefills
Changes:
Replaced the placeholder Tools page with bookmarklet cards, usage copy, and same-window/new-window distinctions.
Added
public/assets/tools_bookmarklets.jsto generate bookmarkletjavascript:links from the live site origin.Extended
GET /compose/threadrendering to acceptboard_tags,subject, andbodyprefills so bookmarklets can open a pre-populated compose form.
Verification:
Ran
php -l src/ForumRewrite/Application.php && php -l templates/pages/tools.php && php -l templates/pages/compose_thread.phpand got no syntax errors.Ran
php -r 'require __DIR__ . "/autoload.php"; $db = sys_get_temp_dir() . "/tools-stage2-" . bin2hex(random_bytes(4)) . ".sqlite3"; @unlink($db); $app = new ForumRewrite\Application(__DIR__, __DIR__ . "/tests/fixtures/parity_minimal_v1", $db); ob_start(); $app->handle("GET", "/tools/"); $html = ob_get_clean(); echo (strpos($html, "Clip (New Window)") !== false ? "TOOLS_BOOKMARKLETS_OK\n" : "TOOLS_BOOKMARKLETS_FAIL\n"); echo (strpos($html, "/assets/tools_bookmarklets.js") !== false ? "TOOLS_SCRIPT_OK\n" : "TOOLS_SCRIPT_FAIL\n"); echo (strpos($html, "data-bookmarklet-kind=\"clip\"") !== false ? "TOOLS_DATA_OK\n" : "TOOLS_DATA_FAIL\n");'and gotTOOLS_BOOKMARKLETS_OK,TOOLS_SCRIPT_OK, andTOOLS_DATA_OK.Ran
php -r 'require __DIR__ . "/autoload.php"; $db = sys_get_temp_dir() . "/tools-stage2-compose-" . bin2hex(random_bytes(4)) . ".sqlite3"; @unlink($db); $app = new ForumRewrite\Application(__DIR__, __DIR__ . "/tests/fixtures/parity_minimal_v1", $db); ob_start(); $app->handle("GET", "/compose/thread?board_tags=general&subject=Saved%20Title&body=Saved%20Body"); $html = ob_get_clean(); echo (strpos($html, "value=\"Saved Title\"") !== false ? "COMPOSE_SUBJECT_OK\n" : "COMPOSE_SUBJECT_FAIL\n"); echo (strpos($html, ">Saved Body</textarea>") !== false ? "COMPOSE_BODY_OK\n" : "COMPOSE_BODY_FAIL\n");'and gotCOMPOSE_SUBJECT_OKandCOMPOSE_BODY_OK.
Notes:
The bookmarklet links are generated client-side so they capture the actual forum origin from the Tools page host instead of assuming a hard-coded deployment URL.
Stage 3 - Add smoke coverage for tools and prefills
Changes:
Added
LocalAppSmokeTest::testToolsPageRendersBookmarkletsAndComposeThreadAcceptsPrefills()to cover the Tools page bookmarklet surface and compose-thread prefill behavior.
Verification:
Ran
php -l tests/LocalAppSmokeTest.phpand got no syntax errors.Ran
php -r 'require __DIR__ . "/tests/LocalAppSmokeTest.php"; $test = new LocalAppSmokeTest(); $test->testToolsPageRendersBookmarkletsAndComposeThreadAcceptsPrefills(); echo "STAGE3_TEST_OK\n";'and gotSTAGE3_TEST_OK.
Notes:
The stage-level verification runs the new smoke method directly because the repo test runner currently executes the full suite without method filtering, which makes targeted verification noisy when unrelated tests are already failing.
