3. Go to the Bookmarkify Options page and select your desired settings.

Upgrade Notes

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 0.9.3 please you must first uninstall Bookmarkify

1. Deactivate the Bookmarkify Plugin
2. Remove the bookmarkify.php file from the '/wp-content/plugins' directory
3. Follow the steps above to install the new version.

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 0.9.7 you may see the widget revert to it's default settings after upgrade. Don't worry ... your settings have NOT been lost. You only need to go to the options page and click "Update Options >>".  This will not need to be done again when upgrading in the future.

The Widget Viewer

The Bookmarkify Widget Viewer is an online tool you can use to try out different widget configurations and themes.

Think Outside the Blog!

Bookmarkify also works outside of WordPress. If you are only using Bookmarkify within your WordPress blog, you don't need to read this.  But with just a few lines of code you can include the Bookmarkify widget on any PHP page on your site.  Simply include the bookmarkify.php file and set your options with the following code:

require_once("/blog/wp-content/plugins/bookmarkify/bookmarkify.php");
$bookmarkifyWidgetTitle="Bookmark and Share";
$bookmarkifySelectedLinks="de.licio.us;Digg;;MySpace;StumbleUpon;Email;";
$bookmarkifyFeedURL="http://www.myblog.com/feed";
$bookmarkifyFeedBurnerID="1234567";
$bookmarkifyMoreLink=1;
$bookmarkifyHideBrand=1;
$bookmarkifyCenterFade=1;
$bookmarkifyDocType="XHTML";
$bookmarkifyIconDir="http://www.myblog.com/wp-content/plugins/bookmarkify";

To simplify this, you can include this code within a PHP file that you already include throughout your site, like a header.

If your blog is in a different location, adjust the parameter of the 'require_once' function call accordingly. If you don't use WordPress, just upload the bookmarkify folder (with PHP, CSS and image files) to your website and reference the bookmarkify.php file there.

If you use WordPress and PHP, the Bookmarkify options page in WordPress will generate the code above for you so that you can make sure the Bookmarkify widget is consistent across your entire site.

To insert the widget simply add the following PHP function call at the place on your page that you want the Bookmarkify widget to appear.

bookmarkifyIt($title, $url);

Replace $title with your page's title and $url with the URL of the page.

Here is the code using the GARA home page as an example.

bookmarkifyIt("GARA Systems", "http://www.gara.com/");

Use it in the Sidebar

To use the sidebar version of the widget add the following PHP function call at the place in your sidebar that you want it to appear:

bookmarkifyItList($title, $url);

Replace $title with your blog's title and $url with your blog's URL.

Here is the code using the GARA Blog as an example:

bookmarkifyItList("The GARA Blog", "http://www.gara.com/blog/");
