Nice Social Bookmark Module

This module shows icons from 13 most known social sites (delicious, digg, facebook, google bookmarks, linkedin, mixx, myspace, newsvine, reddit, stumbleupon, technorati, twitter, pinterest, google +1 and rss feed) there are 4 different sizes of icons to choose from (24,32,48,64) and 6 different sets of icons (aquatic, orange round, white round, logorunner, glass and iPhone). It validates with W3C.


Functions:
- 13 social sites
- 4 different icon sizes
- 6 icon layouts
- custom links for RSS, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace
- mouse-over effect
- 4 custom icons and links
- icon positioning: left, center, right
- W3C valid


Two versions:
Due to recent Joomla development I've decided to maintain two main versions to eliminate confusion.
1.5 - This version will continue to be supported for Joomla 1.5 with a sequence of 1.5.x for the next versions
1.7 - This is module version for new Joomla 1.6 and 1.7 as well as 2.5 build and it's sequence will continue as 1.7.x

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="

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.

Everything works perfectly on my page except for the RSS but I am sure it is a minor fix. I would recommend this to anyone, simply the best out there.

The best look with different icons sets and sizes. But you should be able to add more services. As a module, its better to be complemented by some other plugin for article bookmark.

Installs easily and sets up intuitively. But when trying on SOBI it grabs something totally unrelated to the listing. So, those who said it works for them with SOBI, I would be interested in knowing what they did.

hi, I've installed sobi2 onto my website, but I didn't notice anything irregular (note: I'm not a sobi2 user), contact me trough contact form on salamander-studios.com and send me a link to your web page so i can check it out

After installing the module I noticed my pages didn't validate any longer. When I went looking for an answer I noticed the post by ahotzler. Added his mentioned fixes and reinstalled, module works perfectly now. Other than the minor issue this works great.

Hello,

i like the module, because it is small and simple. It doesnt load code from other servers, like addthis, by default, which is good for german Data Protection Act.

But the module creates bad html output, the module code needs a cleanup:

1.) The module outputs html, head and body tag, this has nothing to do withit a module
2.) The module adds a link to a css file into the code, which also breaks XHTML Rules.

This code should be replaced with:
$document =& JFactory::getDocument();
$attribs = array('type' => 'text/css', 'media' => 'screen');
$document->addHeadLink(JRoute::_($path_to_css), 'stylesheet', 'rel', $attribs);

This way loads the css file the "joomla way"
3.) Some code isnt escaped via HTML Character Entities

Code cleanup would be done in 30 minutes. Please excuse my poor english.

Works prefect, and on every page. Exactly what I was looking for (for VirtueMart), it doesn't need other services to go through (like addthis does), and this is perfect.

Only thing I would love to see, is many services to choose from, and changeable order please. This would make the module far ahead.

cheers, congrats

Really nice module, installed and worked without any customization!

It's good to be able to have several size options for the icons as well, to ensure it fits with different templates.

Well done, very clean and easy to use module :)

Installed without problem, and was up and running in seconds. Unlike another reviewer, I had no problems running it with SOBI2 either. If you want an easy, professional-looking social bookmarking extension, look no further. Excellent work!
