Tips and Tricks
1. Let beta users of your site transparently use SharedCopy and feedback to you
- Login to http://sharedcopy.com
- Go to Add-ons page
- Select Send E-mail if you haven't selected
- Click [+] add preset bookmarklet
- Change After saving to Return to original page
- Change Settings > Name to something specific to your users, e.g. Report problem
- Click Create specialized bookmarklet
- Click [=] edit and copy the embed code on the right column of the page
- Paste the copied code into your own website and you're done!
Now, when your user is browsing your website, he/she can click on the "Report problem" box and a SharedCopy toolbar will appear for annotations. Upon saving, a few things will happen:
- The user will be shown an acknowledgement page and quickly redirected back to the original webpage
- The annotated webpage will be saved - the URL will be kept secret and not published
- An email will be sent to your email address
Additonal things to note:
- You can moderate comments from the annotated page.
- The embed code contains CSS which you can omit or modify to suit your website theme.
Note: In this scenario, we've describe how to do a setup such that all feedback is emailed to you. If you're looking to gather feedback in a Basecamp project, Backpack page or posted somewhere else, please modify the step 3 accordingly to use your Add-on of choice.
