Bookmarkify 1.0 is Here!
Friday, July 4th, 2008 by Gary KeorkunianPosted in Bookmarkify |
Bookmarkify 1.0 has arrived. After six months of development and refinement I am finally comfortable giving Bookmarkify the thumbs up on full release.
The latest adjustments include the addition of oneview and OnlyWire to the list of sites and an update to the Google icon. Popcurrent has been removed from the list as it seems it is no longer online.
Now that Bookmarkify is production ready I encourage you to help promote it to other bloggers and webmasters. You can do so in any of the following ways:
- Rate the plugin at the WordPress Plugin Directory.
- Submit the Bookmarkify Page to your favorite bookmarking sites.
- Write about it in your blog.
Of course, this doesn’t mean Bookmarkify’s development will not continue. I have a number of ideas for new features and improvements so stay tuned. Many thanks to those that contributed suggestions, feedback, bug reports and financial support to the development of this plugin. Please continue to do so.
As most you know I also have two other plugins under development - Amazonify and Googmonify. Both are available now as working betas and I have been collecting your suggestions for these also. Once I return from my vacation near the end of July I will focus my efforts on getting these tools to full release as well.
Thanks and Happy Freedom Day!!

Hi!
I just upgraded Bookmarkify plugin in my blog, and am having trouble finding the code to change the background color of the fade when the MORE is active. I used to be able to change it to a #282828 color before…

Hi Amy,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I am on vacation in the Sierra Nevadas and have limited access to the Internet.
In the new version, all style settings for the More Window have moved to the file more.css. You can make your changes there.

all icons are not displayed anymore after the update, had that at a previous update already, pretty annoying. where can i cange the path to the icons?

Joscha,
I understand for your frustration. Bookmarkify requires that the images be loaded into the same directory as the plugin files itself, which should be a directory mapped to:
http://www.myblog.com/wp-content/plugins/bookmarkify
This folder must be pubic and accessible to a visitor’s browser. If not you may have to make a manual change that you can find near line 346 in the current version of the plugin. It looks like this:
$iconFolder = get_settings(’home’).”/wp-content/plugins/bookmarkify”;
If you would like to put the images in different folder you should modify this line accordingly.
Please note that a recent update included a new image file that contains all images for the More Box. This file is called “imagecol.png”. Remember to upload that image to the above folder. All existing file for individual files - used by the widget - must also be uploaded.
Please let me know if these suggestion work to correct your problem and if you have any additional issues.

Got it Gary, thanks for your quick answer! I actually forgot about it until a few minutes ago when i checked back here. I had the exact same problem when i did a previous upgrade, thats what you get when you put all wordpress files into an extra folder…

I love the new version, the only problem is that the buttons are spread too far apart… doesn’t look good at all… didn’t have that problem with the previous version. What did I do wrong?? Any help would really be appreciated.

Tom,
It appears you do not have any styles explicitly set for the Bookmarkify widget. The images, therefore, are picking up style in your sheet (”.PostContent img”) that is setting the right and bottom margin of the images to 15px.
To correct this, I would recommend using the Widget Viewer (http://www.gara.com/projects/bookmarkify/widget-viewer) where you can select existing theme. You can then copy the contents of the theme into your style sheet and modify it as desired. There are a few good ones to choose from.

joscha,
You are welcome. Using something other than the default install directory can cause these issues. I am looking into ways to make upgrades more seamless under these circumstances.

Gary,
Congratulations on the release of Bookmarkify 1.0!
We use it on our wp blog and are very happy with it. I am curious to know if it could also be used on our website pages - or are there language issues that would prevent that?
Thanks again.

Thanks Mike,
The current version does allow you to add the widget to any PHP page. See the installation page for more details (http://www.gara.com/projects/bookmarkify/installation).
ASP, HTML and other page types are not currently supported, but are planned for future release.

great to find a book marking plugin with Valid XHTML 1.0 - any chance of adding twitter anytime soon?

Churchminster,
Glad you like it. I’ve just added Twitter to the tool. You can see it in use here at GARA.com. It will be available in the next Bookmarkify release. Watch for it in the next couple of days.
