As per my previous response to a user, I’ve not yet implmeneted the API key facility into this plugin, so that may be the issue.

Where the two plugins meet… if you open up simple_social_bookmarks.php, look at line 34 – this is where it calls Simple URL Shortener.

Hi Jason,

I added the API key, etc, in more recently to Simple URL Shortener and have not had the opportunity to add the same into Simple Social Bookmarks. However, look out for an update in the next few days that should resolve this!

Hi David,

I love this plugin and have been extremely happy with it for quite a while now. However, I’ve been trying to use bit.ly+key for my shortener, and perhaps I’m not reading carefully, but I’m not sure where to put my login and API key in the script. I’ve tried copying the Simple URL shortener format, but it did not work. Any recommendations?

Hi David. Phew. I don’t get it buddy. I have installed both plugins and tested the URL Shortening using bit.ly and my API key

That works – it displays a short URL and the same one each time I load the page. No problems there.

So now I installed the Social Bookmark plugin and set it up and it displays the icons on my pages (Posts) but – how do I connect the 2 plugins? My Twitter link gets a brand new short URL – not the one already associated with that post.

But then I started looking at the code and I can’t see how the two plugins are working together – and they don’t seem to be at all. So I must have missed something completely.

I have not added any code anywhere except on my single post PHP:

Please help – I’ve only got a little bit of hair left.

Cheers.

That’s a good point – when upgrading plugins it overwrites any extra folders with the plugin folder. I’ll be looking, for a future release, of moving the icons folders into the theme folder so that this doesn’t happen.

upgrading seems to delete the folder I created to hold images, easily sorted tho’. love the plugin, many thanks

This plugin is entirely icon based and there is not (currently!) an option to display the results as text. However, there is an option to supply your own folder of icons – there is nothing to stop you creating a graphic for each which includes the sharing services name!

Hi David,

Just a newby question.
I’d like to put the name of the sharing service right to the icon, but that name must be the same link as the icon gives, coud you help me?

Thx.

Dan – the good thing about this is that it looks how you want it to! You can specify which bookmarks to use, your own icons and CSS to style them.

This site uses the bookmark under each post, which should give you an idea of how they can be used (I only have a basic set in use, but my own larger icon set).
