This web browser extension will make it easier for a Luminate Online admin to edit pages in Luminate Online



 

Consider the following scenario: you are your organization's Luminate Online administrator. One of your coworkers wants to update the content of a page in Luminate  Online, so he sends you the front-facing URL of that page. Now you have to go through the entire process of finding the right page/donation form/TeamRaiser page/Advocacy alert/etc etc, in the admin side of Luminate Online. Depending on your comfort level with Luminate Online, this could be a relatively easy to relatively annoying task. Either way, it will take you more than a few clicks.

What if i were to tell you that with just one click, you could be taken directly to the admin edit page of that URL? Well, thanks to my coworker Noah Cooper, today's your lucky day!

Noah, one of the smartest guys I know, created a web browser extension/add-on for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera, that will allow you to be taken directly to the edit page in Luminate Online when all you have is the front-end URL.

I've created a screencast, embedded below, that will walk you through how to install and use the extension for Chrome and Firefox. If you are using Opera or Safari, the process should be very similar.

You can find Noah's write-up of the browser extension on Github here - https://github.com/noahcooper/luminateEdit. One thing to remember, this extension is not officially supported by Blackbaud. However, it is supported by Noah. ;)
