Add Bookmarks to Client Computers

what we've done in the past is create a package of a .webloc (when on the page in safari, for example, go up to the URL and drag and drop the tiny pic to the left of the text to your dekstop).

when they double click this webloc then, it'll launch their browser of choice and load that webpage.

I don't know of a "good" way to add a single bookmark to a web browser without also wiping out all the existing ones....

Use defaults to add to the bookmark plist ?

Why not create them yourself as an HTML file and then script the
importing of them via Apple Script or bash script. I am sure there is a
dictionary for Safari. If you want to do it via bash script for Firefox
you could do something like this:

1) On your machine (or rather a test machine) wipe out all book marks
and then book mark the pages you want.

2) Export those book marks to a file and toss in casper admin

3) name the file whatever and put it in the packages folder.

4) then write a script to copy the contents into all users firefox
profile.

#!/bin/bash

# append user's profile book marks with new book marks

/bin/cat /Volumes/CasperShare/Packages/firefox.html >>
/Users//Library/Application
Support/Firefox/Profiles/.default/bookmarks.html

exit 0

That will print the contents of the file you created with the back ups
and then add them to the existing file. I through wild cards in there
to hit all users and since each user profile will be different to take
in account for that. You will need to test this one out, but it should
work I think.

Hi Glenn,

We usually drag the bookmark to the Dock and then push the bookmark out as a Dock item.
