Replace domain in url for publishers academia login

Question

When working outside of my university IP domain, I have to use a login server to access publishers websites. Most url that were of the form http://pubs.domain.org/XXX.htmlare transformed into http://pubs.domain.org.gateway.university.edu/XXX.html

The problem is: most publishers websites have a useless search tool, so I use google and land on the regular website, and using Web of Knowledge outside of the university often fails to connect to the publisher. I have found that replacing manually the URL works as long as I have authentified in the last hour.

I am searching for a way of using a bookmarklet to do this automatically. I have found this question that seems to be what I'm looking for, but I never used javascript before and have been unable to adapt it. Bookmarklet to edit current URL

Thanks!

Answer 1

window.location.href = window.location.href.replace("://pubs.domain.org","://pubs.domain.org.gateway.university.edu");

Answer 2

try

javascript:(function() {
  window.location.href =
    location.protocol 
    + '//'+location.hostname
    + '.gateway.university.edu'
    + location.pathname
    + location.search;
})();

Answer 3

I've encountered this exact situation myself recently. As you want to append a suffix to the hostname, but otherwise leave the URL intact, you can edit window.location.hostname directly to trigger a reload:

javascript:window.location.hostname += '.gateway.university.edu';

or with closure:

javascript:(function() {
  window.location.hostname += '.gateway.university.edu';
})();
