Hi All:

I have a baseball blog and a site (baseball-reference.com) has a bookmarklet that when ran will automatically link baseball players to their corresponding baseball-reference page with stats. The bookmarklet works great with wordpress, but it’s a very manual process, is there any way to automatically trigger the bookmarklet to run after an article/page/etc is posted or updated?

The link to the playerlinker is here: http://www.baseball-reference.com/linker/

Thanks!

There are wordpress actions to make something happen duing a common wordpress event such as edit_post, publish_post, or save_post

http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference#Post.2C_Page.2C_Attachment.2C_and_Category_Actions

In functions.php
```
function your_function_name(){
//do php stuff

}
add_action('publish_post','your_function_name');
```

How do I have the bookmarklet run on my post? Call the below javascript code in PHP? would that work?

The source for the bookmarklet, for reference is:
```
javascript:function%20sr_link()%20{var%20headID%20=%20document.getElementsByTagName(%22head%22)[0];var%20newScript%20=%20document.createElement(%27script%27);newScript.type%20=%20%27text/javascript%27;var%20random_param%20=%20Math.floor(Math.random()*1100);%20newScript.src%20=%20%27http://www.baseball-reference.com/linker/linker.js?rand=%27+random_param;%20headID.appendChild(newScript);}%20void(sr_link());
```

How would I go about calling a javascript function on add_action(‘publish_post’…) ?
