Joomla! Sexy Bookmarks

Sexy Bookmarks for Joomla is a small plugin which provides the possibility to add different social bookmark services to your Joomla based Website.

The plugin provides the following features:
- Native Joomla 1.5.x (not working in Joomla 1.0.x)
- Whether or not to add rel=”nofollow” to the links
- The target attribute (_blank or _self)
- Which site’s icons should be displayed in the menu
- Custom CSS for the DIV that contains the menu
- Contains English and German language files

Are you still working on it? I saw its been updated in the sexybookmarksnet with the v2.6.1.
I found a bug in the joomla version, when I add the Twitter ID in the config section, the entire site crashes with the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /var/www/plugins/content/sexybookmarks.php on line 398
Hi, yet not installed your app in Joomla, but it looks really “sexy”, so i plan to do. Meanwhile, I’ve translated the language file to Spanish (es-SP).. if you’re interested in adding it to the pack please e-mail me and tell me how to send it to you…
Regards!
I am a joomla user and today have installed your product on my website. It works briliantly. I have chose it to display Sexybookmarks on all the pages.
I also use YooZoo Pro. It is a catelogue system. I believe that this Joomla component blocks modules and plugins being embedded into the source code within YooZoo.
The only way i can get it to work is to manually put the html code into my source code for my YooZoo Pro articles. What is this code?
You can see my website with Sexybookmarks workin at http://www.crystal-carbon.com/
And you can see it not working at
http://www.world.crystal-carbo.....item_id=12
Thank you for reading my issue.
There is a problem when the article is submitted to Twitter. The website language is UTF-8, but I keep getting scrambled eggs. Must be some encoding issue, in order to preview the intro for Twitter right. Can u fix this in the next version? Thanks!
Hi Alex, good to know you’re working on it. I’ve a new problem, I can’t make it work with MyBlog from Azrul. In MyBlog’s admin I activate the “Content – Sexy Bookmarks” mambot, but then myblog crashes and a beatiful blank screen is displayed :S.
Do you know how to fix it?

@Mario, sorry, I do not have MyBlog. No testings possible yet…
Hi Alex
This is indeed a well sexy plugin. Well done mate!
Do you have a date for the twitter fix? I would love to use your plug on a new site that will go live towards the end of next week.
Keep up the great work

Thanks for this great extension. However I am experiencing an issue with the Twitter part of SexyBookmarks.
If I enable Twitter then the page takes a long time to load (approx 5 secs) and the twitter tab doesn’t display.
If I enable any other booksmarks and not Twitter then all is OK.
Can you offer any assistance. J1.5.15.
Thanks

Twitter fonction work great online but do not on localhost..
The message i get : Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() …….
Any idea about that ? It would be great to not have to always put the twitter fonction on and off everytime i have to update my website.
However, the rest is super ! Great job !

@sylvain, your local PHP installation has no curl support.
Just check out your phpinfo();

please send me an email on g3o@g3o.org for the solution. thank u
Hello, I’m having problems when using a “blog layout”: the share-links just point to “submit-an-article.html” instead of the article itself. The problem doesn’t apply when I enter into the article and try to share it. This way do work.
Any suggestion on how to fix that?
Thank you!
