Bookmarkify 1.1.1 is now available.

This release contains the following changes:

LinkedIn Added to Site List

I’m not exactly sure how I overlooked LinkedIn for all of this time but apparently I did.  It has been added to the list of bookmark and sharing sites.  Because of its popularity among the business community I’ve also made it one of the default options.

Bookmarkify Button

I’ve added a new feature that lets you display a “Bookmarkify It” button instead of the entire widget.  Clicking the button triggers the More Box to appear.  You can see an example of this on my blog’s header to the right of the search box.

Currently there is no way to implement this via the plugin’s options/settings page.  That feature will be forthcoming.  Until then it must be added by inserting a PHP call with in your template or other PHP pages.  See the readme.txt file for details.

Bug Fix

In my previous post I mentioned a couple of issues some users were having with the plugin.  My initial approach to the solve the problem was to rewrite the way in which the More Box is loaded.  I am still looking at the approach because it improves the plugin in many other ways.  However, in the process I discovered the bug that caused the issue for most of these users.

For those interested in such things here is some background.  The styles for the More Box are contained in the more.css file.  Bookmarkify links this style sheet in to a blog’s template by hooking into the wp_head function.  Templates should always call this function somewhere within their head tags.  I learned, however, that some don’t.  The result was a raw looking More Box with no styling applied.  To remedy that I created a modification that caused the more.css file to get linked in at the time when the widget was being written - that is only if it hadn’t already been linked in to the header.  This worked to correct the styling issue, but I had introduced a small bug that caused issues for some installations with outputting the post’s content.

That bug has been corrected.  So rather than make everyone wait for the additional work to be complete, I am making this fix - and the other improvements mentioned above - available to you now.

Please post any questions or comments that you have.
