Bookmarkify Inching towards Full Release

The latest version of Bookmarkify - 0.9.61 - is available at the WordPress Plugin Directory.

The latest round of updates includes the following:

  • The “Ghost” link that caused the More Box to appear when clicking the Widget Title has been removed. This was the genesis of a feature that would cause the more box to drop down like a hover over menu. I never fleshed that feature out, however, it will be supported in a post 1.0 release. Until then then “phantom” link has been removed.
    -
  • All of the display strings have been broken out into a set of special variables to make internationlization (i18n) an easier task. This will support further i18n development in the future. Until then those that dare to do the translations themselves will find the strings that need to be translated between lines 218 and 232 of the current version. Hopefully this will make the chore less difficult.
    -
  • A regression in the previous version that caused an error on the Options page has been corrected.
    -
  • Additional style attributes have been added to the More Box.

Thanks to everyone who reported their issues, helped with testing the improvements and of course those who have made donations. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Please report any issues you have by posting a comment here on the Blog or by contacting me directly.

1.0 is just around the corner.

Have a great day!!

    Hi, thank you for the great plugin and your work. I am though, having some issues with the currentl latest stable 0.9.61 - when I do a search I believe all the HTML tags are stripped for some reason - this has something to do with the way WordPress formats the Permalink I believe - just my testing info for you but hopefully you are on top of it! :)

    Or…, maybe it’s just my WordPress theme I have to look into to disable the plugin on search! :D

    Hi Francis,

    The issue you are a speaking of happens when your post contains less then 120 characters and you do not create an excerpt. Most templates use the_excerpt in search results. If you do not create an excerpt, WordPress will use the first 120 characters of the content, stripped of any tags. If your post is less then 120 characters then the stripped Bookmarkify widget will become part of the output.

    To solve the problem you can do one of two things. First, create excerpts for each of your posts. If you want you can simply copy the post content to the excerpt field. Or second, make sure your posts have at least 120 characters. When they do, the Bookmarkify widget will appear after char 120 and therefore not show up in search results, archive pages or other places where the excerpt is used.

    I am working on a way to eliminate this issue with the plugin.

    Thanks,
    Gary
