Hello,

is there any way to integrate social bookmarking conveniently into a cmsms site using the current cmsms version?

I know, there is an extension, but it seems that it is no longer maintained.

You can still try it, it may still work, but honestly for few links and icons there is no need for a plugin or module.

Example of google buzz link on my blog.

Code: Select all

 <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/link?url={if isset($canonical)}{$canonical}{elseif isset($content_obj)}{$content_obj->GetURL()}{/if}&title={$pagetitle}">
    <img src="{root_url}/uploads/IDT/google-buzz.png" title="share on Google Buzz" alt="Google Buzz"/></a>

I thought, maybe you can insert all important sites with a single tag.

Does anyone have an out-of-the-box solution that produces a block of image links to all major social bookmarking services?

Try Add This (http://www.addthis.com) or Share This (http://sharethis.com/). Both depend on Javascript but other than that they work well and require almost no work on your part to implement. And there are probably other similar solutions our there as well.

Hi Andrea,

I tried to download the files for your new module from the forge, but am unable to unzip the latest (1.4) .tar.gz file. Please double-check and re-upload. I'd love to give it a whirl!

Thanks,
Sanjay

I've been using this plugin for a while.

Is there a way to get the title that loads not be the title to the page but rather to the CGblog? And do the same with the Description? So when you're posting to Facebook or Twitter or whatever.. you get the blog title and META Description instead of the details page it is loaded on?

For example:

{if isset($blogtitle)}{$blogtitle}{else}{title}{/if}

I know this code works for the page itself to get the blog title to show instead of the page title, but I can't figure out where to make it work in the plugin to get the same result?
