Blogger URL Shortcut Script

Scripts

Custom redirect scripts for Blogger blog to provide shortcut paths to quickly open the dashboard pages and HTML editor.

Place the following script at the very top of the <head> tag:

<!-- # shortcut -->
<script>
    {
        const blogId = `<data:blog.blogId/>`;
    
        /* <![CDATA[ */

        const path = window.location.pathname;
        let url = '';

        switch (path) {
            case '/admin': url = `https://blogger.com/blog/posts/${blogId}`; break;
            case '/stats': url = `https://blogger.com/blog/stats/week/${blogId}`; break;
            case '/layout': url = `https://blogger.com/blog/layout/${blogId}`; break;
            case '/xml': url = `https://blogger.com/blog/themes/edit/${blogId}`; break;
            case '/settings': url = `https://blogger.com/blog/settings/${blogId}`; break;
        }

        if (url) {
            document.write(`<a href="${url}" id="redirect-link"></a>`);
            document.querySelector("#redirect-link").click();
        }

        /* ]]> */
    }
</script>

Usage:

  • /admin
    Redirect to blog dashboard.

  • /layout
    Redirect to blog layout editor.

  • /xml
    Redirect to blog template HTML editor.

  • /stats
    Redirect to weekly statistic menu.

  • /settings
    Redirect to settings menu.

Example:

https://example.blogspot.com/admin

Trivia:

  • If you have multiple Blogger users logged in, you will have to modify the code so that it redirects to the correct blog author. There should be an additional user ID in the URL (I forgot what it is).

  • document.write is used instead of location.reload because it stops page rendering when the link is clicked, resulting in faster redirect.
