Social Bookmarks

[karlbenson]

I'll look at it in future.

[Neelay]

Hello ! Can the bookmarks appear on the home page, so that users can bookmark the site ? Would appreciate changes if minor modification is required..

[karlbenson]

There isn't any functionality to make them appear on your homepage.
Although social bookmarking is usually used for specific articles, rather than sites.

This is not a normal bookmarking mod, but through digg/slashdot etc.

You would need to customize the mod to use it in other areas.
I cannot provide support for customizing it in that way.

However if you don't feel capable of doing it yourself, you could ask in the Help Wanted forum with a [free] or [paid] request for someone to customize it for you.

Hi Karl,
Great mod!
Turkish translation:

Code (Modification.turkish.php) Select Expand

$txt['socialbookmarks'] = 'Sosyal Yer Imleri';

Code (Modification.turkish-utf8.php) Select Expand

$txt['socialbookmarks'] = 'Sosyal Yer Imleri';

Karl, the Social Bookmark MOD, which I love so much, does have XHTML errors as checked in http://validator.w3.org using the display page for a topic.

[karlbenson]

Yeah I know.
I need to get around to fixing it.

[humbleworld]

Thank you, Karl.

Long live Karl Benson!

How do i add other sites? I am thinking of having "gmail" , "youtube" , "hotmail" and "friendster"

[humbleworld]

Karl, I hope the next update would include most of the "dofollow" bookmarks. I found a link of all "dofollow" bookmarks.

[karlbenson]

What is dofollow?
I didn't really intend to add more. Just for the fact I don't do social bookmarking sites.
I avoid them.

[humbleworld]

DoFollow attribute. It's the opposite of "nofollow."

a dofollow bookmark gives SEO juice to the bookmarker. here's a nice list from caroline m.

Digg is "dofollow"

but reddit, stumble, technorati are "nofollow" i like technorati, stumble and reddit to be there in the bookmark, though.

Everything world just great. The install and all....

...except the bookmark to digg. I dont think digg uses the same url format anymore. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

[Loky]

Found a solution for digg:

Code Select Expand

$socialbookmark[] = array('name' => 'Digg', 'icon' => 'digg', 'url' => 'http://www.digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.0');

He does not format the url properly with $1.

Cheers.

Not sure if this is easy to do, but I have a News Board and then a couple of regular boards. I really only want this on the News board though. Is there a way to turn it off for certain boards. If so thanks. If not thanks for a nice mod anyways.

[karlbenson]

There is no feature to do it in the mod.

I had this problem when trying to install it.

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=225687.0

Now I get:

You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!

Is there a way to run the install.php manually without getting the hacking attempt thing? I have made all the manual changes to my theme.

By the way, in another installation on same server i have no such problems (same smf version 1.1.4)

[karlbenson]

The install.php can't be run outside of the package manager.

You could add the setting via PHPMYADMIN

Code Select Expand


INSERT IGNORE
INTO smf_settings (`variable`, `value`)
VALUES ('socialbookmarks', 1);

Thanks Karl, it worked

Hi, karl, great addition, certain areas of my forums are closed for guests, is there a way to display it only on certain boards?
