Plugin Name: Social Bookmarks Version: 3.2 Plugin URI: http://www.dountsis.com/ Author: Apostolos Dountsis Author URI: http://www.dountsis.com The Social Bookmarks plugin for WordPress adds a list of XHTML compliant graphic links at the end of your posts and/or pages that allow your visitors to easily submit them in a number of social bookmarking sites. Furthermore, the plugin adds a page in the WordPress admin section that lets you customize it. See the Customization section below for details. The following 26 sites are supported: * Del.icio.us * digg * FURL * blinklist * Socializer * reddit * Feed Me Links! * Technorati * Newsvine * Yahoo My Web * Ma.gnolia * Google Bookmarks * Squidoo * BlinkBits * Stumble Upon * RawSugar * Spurl * Netvouz * Rojo * Blogmarks * Shadows * Simpy * Co.mments * Scuttle * Tailrank * Bloglines New Features in version 3.2 --------------------------- With the release of WordPress 2.1, the way that WordPress defines a page has changed. Therefore, the code that retrieves the site pages and displays them in the admin section had to be modified for plugin exclusion had to be updated. The plugin is now 'clever enough' to figure out whether you are running WP 2.1 or WP 2.0.x and deal with the pages accordingly. Also, from this release, you can position manually the plugin in your template. See the section 'Manual Positioning 'for more details. Installation Instructions ------------------------- Upload the contents of the social_bookmarks directory to wp-content/plugins/social_bookmarks directory. Customization ------------- Version 3 introduces an Options page in the WordPress admin section. You can select which sites you display, whether the links will open in a new window or in the current page. Also, you can change the heading that appears above the links. If you have pages in your site then you can select a sub-set of them (or even all of them) where the links won't appear. You can also specify to display the links in one or two lines. You can set the plugin to be visible in the blog listing (index.php) and/or in the single post page. The plugin is using a stylesheet (social_bookmarks.css) which you can modify to integrate it further with your theme. A PNG template file is included that can be used to generate additional icons. Manual Positioning ------------------ You can now position the plugin manually inside your template. Simply edit the relevant template file (for example sidebar.php) and add the following code: Social Bookmark'); render_social(); } ?> Tip: You may want to set the fourth option (Display the plugin...) in the Options->Social Bookmarks to 'nowhere' to effectively disable the automatic positioning of the plugin. I hope that you enjoy the plugin, Apostolos
