This is an attractive and very useful module for social bookmarking. I only wish that it had a Google+ button.

I really like this extension as I find it one of the better looking social bookmarking addons avaialble.

Just one little thing. Current versions 1.5.2 for Joomla 1.5.x and 1.6.2 for J1.6 and J1.7 does not validate on W3C.

I would normally contact the developer directly on his website reg. such minor problems, but the contact form on his website didn't work.

All the best going forward. Looking forward to the W3C fix.

Hello Gaatec, I will look into this W3C problems, it was working fine last time I've checked, but now I do see couple of errors. Contact form on the site is working as it should, give it a try :)

Cheers

Very easy to use and configure. Does the job perfectly. Question to developer was answered quickly and in a friendly manner (problem is with my template, not with the module. Thanks.

Stunning, this couldn't be easier to configure and set up and the icons a just beautiful! ..google+ would be cool, but as I write it's still not hit mainstream so I'm sure it will be here soon. Well done!

This is a great extension - easy to use and flexible. I just have one request: could you please add a Linkedin page link option to the parameters. It is there for Facebook and Twitter but not for Linkedin.

Thank you for another neat Joomla extension.

I like it. Module is clean and configurable.
But when "Mouseover effect" is on, site doesn't pass css-validator :(
Owner's reply

True, but it is only because opacity is not css2 standard, if you declare your html as html5 you should be able to pass validation. currently this is satisfactory solution because its lightweight, other options are too heavy and can cause conflicts

I went though a few of these before I picked this one. Nice styling, nice OPTIONS for styling. And I'm VERY VERY picky!

It works perfectly. Looks great. It was nice to have a choice of icon colors and sizes to best match my site's color scheme. I used it for The Babbolo Jar web iPhone App site. It fits in nicely.
Thanks!

I've been milling through several options for a new site I'm making and it was so hard to find one that looked professional, was simple and had some flexibility in customization.

My search ended with this extension!

It is the Holy Grail, folks.... search no further.

Thank you - absolutely what I needed. I tried a similiar module that messed up my template when viewing with IE and Chrome. This worked perfectly. The only tweak I had to make was to modify the PHP file and replace the URL for the RSS feed. You automatically default this to the home page of the web site. I wanted it to point directly to my Feedburner feed. It would be nice if you allowed a complete modification of the RSS feed URL rather than forcing it to default to the home page URL.

Otherwise - thanks again, the module works very well :)

Nice job guys this works great. Very Impressed! Although I did find the same problem as the other posts (RSS Button displays 500 server error) this is an easy fix. You just have to remove one forward slash on line 39 in the php to this: href="'.$url.'index.php?format=feed&type=rss&title="

hey, thank you for the information, but I did manage to solve this in another way, have a look-see at new update

Simple & works!

I have tried a couple of others, and they either had issuse with SEF component or validating.

Would be nice if there were more social sites included, but I've read this may be looked at. so... If you want simple to install/setup you can't go far wrong with this module :)

Thanks for your effort here.
