The Ultimate Social Bookmarking Plugin Plugin

This plugin will add social bookmarking buttons to your content, making it easy for your visitors to submit your articles and build traffic to your website.

NOTE: Version 1.0.4 fixes the front page bug introduced by Joomla 1.5.10.

This new Joomla! plugin was built as a superior replacement for the old Social Bookmarking Buttons plugin for Joomla 1.0.x. This new plugin puts the buttons where you want them, allows an unlimited amount of customization, and is compatible with Joomla! 1.0.x and Joomla! 1.5 natively.

All styling is editable through an included CSS file, multiple folders/styles of buttons are included along with a photoshop PSD template, all buttons can be enabled or disabled and new custom buttons for any social bookmarking website can be easily added through an XML file (60 buttons currently included):

1. Digg.com small button

This plugin looks promising but it doesn't work as expected out of the box. The Digg icon was up at the top left of my main content and completely screwed up the alignment of everything on my site. The demo shows everything in a nice popup but in actuality the icons are simply placed on the page like many of the other bookmark plugins.

On the plus side, the icons are well done and when clicked they do as expected.

While being able to customize the design is great, I hope future versions will display properly out of the box while still giving users the option to customize things.

Thanks it works fine, even looks good on my dark background :-)
It's a good plugin that makes sharing your links very easy, it works almost perfect, but one problem: it don't detect utf8 on links, so if you use SEF links with special chars like open question marks (¿¡) it will fail.

At least on Digg part, it works on others, like facebook, twitter, and more.
I purchased SuperBlogger but it's impossible to use it in a blog list.

I wish I had found your plug-in first.

Great Job!
This extension is a must have and it rocked right out of the box! Installed easily, configures easy, the only thing you have to do is take a few seconds to edit the xml file for the buttons assignments which is found in plugins/content (not mambot/content as indicated in instructions) and it's good to go!

I had trouble finding the file on the developers web site, shot him off an email via his web site contact page, received a detailed response within minutes! How cool is that? Good job!

Nicely done extension, works out of the box!

Two things I would like to see:
- it would be nice to be able to switch the buttons on/off in the admin backend
- a possibility of telling the plugin where to put the bottom buttons. Currently (on my site), they are above the 'read more' button, which I don't really like.

P.s. I tried support, but the website was down (no db connection).

I installed this on my site in just 5 mins. Works great. Excellent work.
From the demo site, this looked just what I wanted: simple social bookmarking.

The installation & configuration are simple, the buttons appear correctly at the bottom of the articles, but... it doesn't work!

All the buttons redirect simply to the social network homepage rather than to the correct page to submit links. This makes the extension basically useless...

I'm now using a different plugin, that works correctly, but it's a shame, because it's not as simple and neat as this one... too bad :(
Owner's reply

I'm sorry you had to give this plugin a bad rating instead of simply getting support at the JoomlaDigger.com forums. The solution is simple: Your website has JavaScript errors. You need to fix your own JavaScript code, and this plugin (and every other plugin, module and component) will work perfectly for you.

Just installed The Ultimate Social Bookmarking Plugin, and it does what it says it does : add social bookmarking in a glinch to your Joomla 1.5 website :)

I have yet to understand how the graphical configuration does work (URL Mode does, but Homepage Display does not produce any change).
Now the XML configuration files are easy to use: It allows one to enable/disable any single button.

Very good beginning.

Although I haven't experimented with it too much, it looks great right off the bat, without need to configure. I love the Digg links on the frontpage this is exactly what i wanted. Thanks for all of the hard work.
This plugin works out really good for me. Though I got 60 or so errors when I validated my site because of it. All the & in ultimate_social_bookmarking_plugin_buttons.xml need to be changed to "& a m p ;" - without the spaces...

Simple!!!

I love it!

I had a bit of trouble excluding categories but once I found out how it worked its great! If you have this as part of the GUI will be superb!! but honestly, not a big deal.

Thanks a lot!

:)

Thank you so much. Looks good and works great. Asked them a question on their site and the reply was prompt and helpful. A+
byFlyOnline.hu on February 18, 2009
Its just works flawlessly. thx!
This just works. Period.
5 stars.
This is a great plugin, especially the AddThis feature. I just installed it with no hitch.

The code is clean and simple and the XML file allows you to add proprietary and rare SB sites with maximum flexibility.

A couple feature requests:
- Advanced param to allow disabling of built in CSS (prevent excessive CSS files from loading)

- Include/exclude by category or section (it has exclude by category)

- Some spelling mistakes on the config params

- Optionally display SB links below intro text on cat and section blog pages, like on the Front page (Some people have running full articles in their blog views...)

Thanks again!!
I love it. ten minutes including download, upload, install, and editing the XML file to choose the buttons I wanted. I looked like a champ after this install, and I really like that! Registration required but return e-mail with confirmation came back very, very quickly.

I really recommend this plug-in. It totally rocks!
bypaskainos on October 21, 2008
P.J., you really outdid yourself on this one! This is aptly named - it IS truly THE Ultimate...

Makes 'plug-n-play' the understatement of the year. Very cool! If you're looking for a bookmarking extension - look no further!

After trying almost all other social bookmarking plugins for joomla 1.5, I ended up using this one.

It looks good, it works fine, the support is excellent. The admin side of the plugin gives some basic customization options, but if you want to make further changes you need to work on the css, and xml files (the author provides info on how to do this).

As a fairly new user of Joomla! I found this plugin very easy to use. I had it implemented throughout my site in under 15 minutes. I am currently in Iraq, and getting ready to come home soon, so internet is slow and somewhat hard to come by. I strongly recommend this plugin for all users. The buttons add almost nothing and love the Digg badge. Haven't modified which links are displayed yet, but will probably do that soon.
