Bookmarkify 0.9.8

Bookmarkify 0.9.8 is now available for download.

Prior to this release there was an issue that caused an unformatted string of text - actually the “tagless” version of the Widget - to appear at the bottom of excerpts. This only occurred in situations where no explicit excerpt had been written and the post’s content included less then 120 characters of text.

This release corrects the issue by suppressing the Bookmarkify widget from appearing in excerpts.

You can download the release from the Bookmarkify Page.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about Bookmarkify.

Have a great weekend!!

    Hi
    just downloaded the bookmarkify plugin, must say it is the best implementation of these bookmarks links I’ve seen.
    I’m using it on a blog (wordpress 2.5) and the problem I have is the bookmark panel are being obscured by widgets i’m using on the blog, or to put it another way, the widgets are not being “subdued” so the more box is partially hidden.

    for the time being I’m using the drop down option, but I’d much prefer the centered option

    regards

    Hi Lee,

    Thanks for the kind review.

    This issue you are having is usually caused by the sidebar having the CSS setting “overflow: hidden” applied to them. Some theme designers include this property, however, it seems to have no effect on their actual display. Unfortunately it leads to the problem you cited. It does appear to be used in your style sheet as well.

    To correct this problem you can disable this setting by either removing the line from your style sheet or by enclosing it in the comments (i.e. “/* overflow: hidden; */”).

    Let us know how it works. Thanks.

    Hi, I just installed the plugin but it seems as it could not find the images for the bookmarking services… :/

    Is there any known bug?

  • c3l5o Says:

    Just solved it, it happened because I was using different “Wordpress address” and “Blog address”…

    The “Wordpress address” was correct but the “Blog address” had to be changed to http://heaveninbw.com/blog

    HI Gary
    commenting out the “overflow: hidden” text did fix this issue, there were about 10 instances of this in the stylesheet. however, I have noticed that there are certain elements on the site that no longer look right so I’ll have to go back to the alternative dropdown method until I can workout how to fix the template.

    One other thing I would like to disable bookmarkify on the blog front page, I have 10 snippets so 10 bookmarkify makes the page look crowded, is it possible to only show bookmarkify on single posts only it could be a useful option to implement

    many thanks
    Lee

    Hi Lee,

    You may be able to selectively comment out the ‘overflow: hidden’. Perhaps you only need to disable the few that actually cover up the popover box.

    For the front page are you calling the_content or the_excerpt to generate the snippets? The latest version of Bookmarkify (0.9.8) will exclude the widget from excerpts. Make sure to upgrade. If the front page uses the_content, you may be able to change that to the_excerpt and still get the same snippets.
