Bookmark Widget 28

Posted by darxr Thu, 19 Oct 2006 11:13:00 GMT

This is the home of my Social Bookmarks sidebar widget for WordPress. It is inspired by Pascal Belloncle’s Bookmarkit plugin for Typo and based upon Kaf Oseo’s excellent example WordPress widget. The widget allows you to select a number of social bookmark sites which are displayed in the sidebar. This allows your readers to bookmark your blog or article, depending on the context, directly to the social bookmarking sites you have enabled.

59 Social Bookmarking sites are now supported. Supported sites are: Blinklist, Blinkbits, Blogmarks, BlogMemes, Blue Dot, BuddyMarks, Bumpzee, DotNetKicks, Connotea, Del.icio.us, Del.irio.us, Digg, Diigo, Bumpzee, DZone, Earthlink, Fark, FeedMeLinks, Furl, givealink.org, Google, Igooi, Kick.ie, Lilisto, LinkaGoGo, Windows Live, LookLater, Ma.gnolia, Mr Wong, Yahoo MyWeb, Netscape, Netvouz, Newsvine, Onlywire, PlugIM, PopCurrent, PPNow, RawSugar, Recruiting, Reddit, Rojo, Scoopeo, Scuttle, Shadows, Simpy, Slashdot, Smarking, SphereIt, Spurl, Squidoo, StumbleUpon, Taggly, Tagtooga, TailRank, TalkDigger, Technorati, ThisNext, WebRide and Wists.

To install the widget, simply download the widget from below, and upload the contents (bookmark-widget.php and the bookmark directory containing the images and the bookmark-sites.php configuration file) of the archive to <your wordpress install>/wp-content/plugins/widgets/ folder. Next you need to activate the “Social Bookmark Widget” under your plugin settings. You should then be able to drag and drop the widget to your sidebar and select which bookmarking sites you wish to display from the ”Sidebar Widgets” menu under “Presentation”.

You can see the plugin in action on my own sidebar on this site and you can download either a .zip or a .tar.gz version:

    Hi, this is Shimon. Is there any way I could research to see which bookmarking sites most people use. This plugin is awesome because it has so many site included but I don’t want to overwhelm my readers with links. Right now I have only one row of links to the site I thought to be very popular, but I would love to get your opinion about which sites I should include or which have very heavy traffice/use. Thanks again for the plugin!

    Hi Shimon, Outside of the few “big boys” such as del.icio.us, Digg, Google, Reddit, Yahoo!, Ma.gnolia and so on, I think each service has a rather small but dedicated userbase, some are local sites, such as kick.ie for Ireland and some such as Connotea are highly specialized.

    I’d just stick with the more popular ones and if any of the other fit the theme of your blog just add them too.

    I was planning to sort the bookmarks by category on the admin page in the next release to make it easier to choose which to display.

    Hi,

    I would like very much to test this tool… But the download links aren’t functioning correctly. So, could you send me the package?

    Thanx, Rodrigo.

    Hi Rodrigo, I am currently in the process of moving host and the files hadn’t copied across correctly. The download links should be working again now.

    It produce invalid XHTML - Code results to a not validating page. “&” wasn’t allowed (or “?”). Take a look at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt or try to validate a page against W3C - standards which has your plugin active and running in XHTML-Style.

    Thanks for that Stefan, I haven’t looked at the code in a while and last time I added some sites I didn’t escape the urls properly. I’ll get it fixed.
