NotePlan 3 Daily Note and New Note Snippets

PopClip Extensions
1

I finally got around to doing something with my kludgy NotePlan clipper extensions that have limited formatting functionality. Instead of rewriting the python-based Daily_NotePlan and Clip2NotePlan extensions, I went for the simplicity of snippets.

Edit the below as needed, it should be pretty straightforward using the NotePlan x-callback docs.

Updated 2022-02-09: cleaner code, better headers for non-html sources

Clip to Daily Note

# PopClip - NotePlan Daily Note
name: DailyClipper
icon: symbol:calendar.badge.plus
capture html: true 
javascript: | 
  let clipping = popclip.input.markdown
  if (popclip.context.browserUrl.length > 0) { 
    let title = encodeURIComponent(popclip.context.browserTitle)
    clipping = `# ${title}\n` + clipping
    clipping += `\n[${popclip.context.browserTitle}](${popclip.context.browserUrl})\n#clipped`
  } else {
    let fname = popclip.input.markdown.split(' ').slice(0, 7).join(' ') + `…`
    clipping = `# ` + fname + `\n` + clipping + `\n#clipped`
  }
    clipping = encodeURIComponent(clipping)
    popclip.openUrl(`noteplan://x-callback-url/addText?noteDate=today&text=${clipping}&mode=append&openNote=yes`)

Clip to New Note

# PopClip - NotePlan New Note
name: NP3Clipper
icon: symbol:asterisk
capture html: true 
javascript: | 
  let clipping = popclip.input.markdown
  if (popclip.context.browserUrl.length > 0) {
    let title = encodeURIComponent(popclip.context.browserTitle)
    clipping += `\n[${popclip.context.browserTitle}](${popclip.context.browserUrl})\n#clipped`
    clipping = encodeURIComponent(clipping)
    popclip.openUrl(`noteplan://x-callback-url/addNote?noteTitle=${title}&text=${clipping}&openNote=yes`)
  } else {
    let fname = popclip.input.markdown.split(' ').slice(0, 7).join(' ')
    clipping = `# ` + fname + `\n` + clipping + `\n#clipped`
    clipping = encodeURIComponent(clipping)
    popclip.openUrl(`noteplan://x-callback-url/addNote?text=${clipping}&openNote=yes`)
  }

Cheers, @nick - thanks for all the functionality. If I get some more time this week, I’ll try to consolidate this down to a single with a modifier.

Hello thanks for this but I am having a trouble getting it to work as I believe it should in either Firefox or Safari. No title or URL is included in the clip — URLs in the text are not rendered and there is no #clipping tag. It just ends with a capital A on a new line.

so for example i just get

Hi @everythingness and welcome to the forum.

It won’t work fully in Firefox, because Firefox doesn’t provide an AppleScript interface for PopClip to read the current page URL and title.

In Safari (as well as in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and other Chromium based browsers), it ought to get the source URL and title. Is it possible you have denied permission for PopClip to automate Safari (in Settings, Security & Priacy, Automation – see screenshot)?

I’m not sure about the capital A thing.

Have just started using NotePlan and would like to use PopClip to quickly add notes, weblinks &c.
How / where do I install(?) / use the snippets " Clip to Daily Note’ and 'Clip to New Note"??
Please advise.
Thanks very much

Once you have PopClip installed, select all the text in the snippet and you should see an option in the pop-over to install.

Got it! Thanks very much - very useful!
