Edit Any SharePoint Page

After smacking myself in the head following my discovery of the ?ToolPaneView=2 trick that Cristophe linked, I decided that I would try and make it as easy as possible in the future to do this and here's what I've come up with:

The Edit This Page javascript bookmarklet!
I wanted to have an actual link so you wouldn't have to make your own, but Blogger doesn't like Javascript links =(

Here's how it works:

OPTION 1 - The Easy Way
1 - Click here and follow the simple instructions.

OPTION 2 - Do It Yourself
1 - Open a text editor and copy/paste this code:

***UPDATE 1 - 1:15pm, 1 Oct 2008***

My apologies to early adopters, I'm learning that my first version is frequently riddled with bugs and not fully tested =( I found that document.referrer caused problems so I updated the code below to work properly.

<a href="javascript:if(location.href.indexOf('?') > 0) { window.location=(location.href + '&ToolPaneView=2'); } else { window.location=(location.href + '?ToolPaneView=2'); }">BOOKMARKLET</a>

2 - Save it as an .html file and open it in your browser.
3 - Right click on the "BOOKMARKLET" link and add it to your bookmarks.
4 - Delete the .html file.
5 - When you are on a SharePoint page that you want to edit, simply click the bookmark and you'll be presented with the page you were just looking at, but with editing options provided you've been authorized.
