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 (X)HTML compliant code will add a list-based menu with different icons in each article. This allows your users to add your articles to most of the popular social bookmarking services.
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

[...] Joomla! Sexy Bookmarks [...]
wow 10Q 
I’m upgrading my website to Joomla 1.5 (on a test site) and I like your sexy bookmarks. However I have a comment module loaded that now appears at the end of the bookmarks rather than on a separate line.
Is there some way I can change this? For example in the extra style box?
Thanks for your help,
Karen
Not sure why but my test website takes a lot longer to load when this is enabled. Could you suggest any reasons why? It’s slowing down the site so much that I don’t feel that I can use it 
Thanks for any help,
Karen
it wont work for me…i get all this script on my pages:
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/xxx/plugins/content/sexybookmarks.php on line 52
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/xxx/plugins/content/sexybookmarks.php on line 54

O-well
@Mike,
thx for the information. It was a small bug. I have corrected and uploaded the new version 1.0.5
Hi,
Thnx for this plugin, it works excellent.
It would be great if you can add option to change the order of bookmarks directly from plugin settings.
Also waiting for a twitter fix.
Thnx again
I like this bookmark plugin thank you
hello, great plugin !
french version :

I’m not entirely sure how Joomla works, but I have URL caching enabled with the WP version. I’m assuming that the functions I used for caching the short URLs are not available in Joomla?
@Josh,
that’s the point. Joomla did not have the same possibilities on this side. I try to build an own internal caching for the short URLs….
One more question about plugin, is it possible to add custom bookmark sites and how?
Hey! Great plug-in!:D My only question; is it posible to have the bookmark images to be shown all the time, rather than just “pop-up” on mouse-over?
Thanks for the sweet plugin but I seem to have a problem with it on my site. When you do the mouse over it just shows a blue box and not the picture.
Awesome plugin. Couple questions, I am using another Social Bookmarking module and would love to switch to this one. Mostly I am interested in having it display it on a site I am using Jreviews. But when I have it published, it displays the icons diagonally? It also displays it in a strange location. Is there a way to force a position like using a {sexybookmarks} type of code or maybe have it as a Module?
Anyone have any ideas as to why the icons arent showing up for my site? I checked the css, and other browsers and cant figure it out. Id like to use this component…. any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks
@Alex
at the moment there is no possibility to add user defined bookmark services. But this is one of the feature request I already have.
@Tony
this question is only CSS related. Change the CSS settings of the Sexy Bookmarks. The CSS file can be found in the folder plugins/content/sexybookmarks/
@Mike
please check your CSS settings of your template. Sounds like a conflict
@Corey
If the component supports the use of content plugins – then yes. Otherwise the usage of content plugins is not possible. Both (usage as module and user positioning) is not supported yet. Let’s see happen in the future

I found the issue but not sure how to fix it.
In the sexy-bookmarks its the line display:block; in the css file
and in my template its the line
background:#23A0D4 none repeat scroll 0 0;
If I comment out the line in the smart-bookmarks it works and but they are not click able anymore.
If I comment out the background line in my template css it messes up the rest of my site.
Any suggestions?
@Karen,
1. yes you can use an extra styling. Use the possibility of extra CSS Styling at the plugin settings page or use standard CSS selectors to change the look and feel. If you would like to change the order, switch it in the plugin ranking
2. it will slow down your site if you are using Twitter, because the bookmarks plugin has to send and receive an answer from the short url services. For future version I try to implement a caching function that it is not necessary to call the external services more than one time for the same url.
