Social It Plugin for bbPress
I am glad to announce my first plugin for bbPress, which is Social It. Social It adds a (X)HTML compliant list of social bookmarks below the first post in your forum topics. You can also use it manually and insert it anywhere on your forum.
Download: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/social-it/
You have a variety of options to choose from, or to customize the output. The plugin can add the following social bookmarks:
- Digg
- Delicious
- StumpleUpon
- Diigo
- YahooBuzz
- Technorati
- Mixx
- Myspace
- DesignFloat
- GoogleBookmarks
- Blinklist
- Script & Style
- Newsvine
- Devmarks
- Mister Wrong
- Izeby
- Tipd
- Friendfeed
- BlogMarks
- Twittley
If you do not find your favourite bookmarking site here, please contact me here.
The plugin can also shorten your permalinks automatically, and gives you a variety of short-urleners to choose from. Moreover, the bookmarks can also be inserted into the feed.
This plugin is inspired from the SexyBookmarks plugin for WordPress made by Josh & Norman. It is also compatible with Support Forum plugin Made by Aditya Naik & Sam Bauers.
Having problems? You can see the documentation here, or ask in the forums.
Please do not forget to donate for the plugin.
Jason and 3 others are discussing.

I don’t see any icon in the backend, just a list of checkboxes. Same for background or any other image.
Checked in firebug, I don’t even see a reference to the picture in HTML, neither in the CSS. Actually, your CSS is not even loaded.
Or better, is on the HTML, but looks like the address is wrong, even thoug, Ishould admit, looks right to me.
Trying to open directly the file, I get a 404 error:
http://inolanda.info/forum/my-plugins/social-it/c...
The file should be indeed there: I’ve checked.

@Andrea
Please chmodd the my-plugins directory to 755.
It would work fine.

Hi, I downloaded today your Social It plug-in to my brand new bbpres installation, I only see the Enabled Networks and Twitter Options in the settings page, less than half the settings from the screenshot!
I reinstalled several times, chmoded with 777 on ALL files, even the bbpress ones.
Bbpress works fine, and your 33 icons show on every message, but I cannot use the settings page to disable most of them (no save button) and all the other great settings from the screen

@Michael
That shouldn’t be happening.
Can you post a screenshot of how the page is appearing?
Michael 3:57 pm on September 14, 2009 Permalink |
Here’s the screen shot of the settings page, and that’s the whole settings page, there’s no scroll bar or anything else.
http://www.efoam.co.uk/forum/Social-it.png
I’ve chmoded everything to 777, the forum & other plugins work fine.
Social it works fine on the forum pages, albeit with all icons.
The problem is accessing all the settings and making them work. When I untick any of the icons there is no save button (even by pressing enter) so the untick is not saved.
Please help.

@Michael
Everything seems fine, except that the admin settings page is not being shown.
Try disabling other plugins you have installed.
Or, if you can send me the admin and user password, I will see that myself. Please use contact form to contact me.
Jason 9:47 pm on September 23, 2009 Permalink |
I seem to be having the same problem as Michael!
Jason 9:49 pm on September 23, 2009 Permalink |
and when I rollover the icons in the forum I get this code behind them also…

@Jason
That problem might be because of the Short URL service you are using, just change it with some other service.
Gautam 6:48 pm on September 24, 2009 Permalink |
Are you getting this error in the admin panel or in the forums where it is shown?
Jason 6:12 pm on September 24, 2009 Permalink |
I tried that it seems that its a problem with PHP5, as I’m researching, and has to do with the code of
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['snip']['chk'] = $_POST['shortyapichk-snip'];
and all the others!
Gautam 6:46 pm on September 24, 2009 Permalink |
@Jason
Well, I suggest try changing your short url service, as it works for me.

That is shown in the forum area, which no big deal on this one I can fix later…..
However my other issue is the admin panel, I don’t see all of the admin panel, I only see Enabled Networks
and Twitter Options in the settings page, after viewing the source I got the error
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/ripperbu/public_html/osf/forum/my-plugins/social-it/functions.php on line 370
Which is <input type="text" id="shortyapiuser-bitly" name="shortyapiuser-bitly" value="” />
Which in my research is a issue in PHP 5 about the $socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['bitly']['user'];
So this is not just effecting 310 and down about 10-15 lines but also effecting
/* Short URLs */
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['snip']['chk'] = $_POST['shortyapichk-snip'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['snip']['user'] = $_POST['shortyapiuser-snip'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['snip']['key'] = $_POST['shortyapikey-snip'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['bitly']['chk'] = $_POST['shortyapichk-bitly'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['bitly']['user'] = $_POST['shortyapiuser-bitly'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['bitly']['key'] = $_POST['shortyapikey-bitly'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['supr']['chk'] = $_POST['shortyapichk-supr'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['supr']['login'] = $_POST['shortyapiuser-supr'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['supr']['key'] = $_POST['shortyapikey-supr'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['trim']['chk'] = $_POST['shortyapichk-trim'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['trim']['login'] = $_POST['shortyapiuser-trim'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['trim']['pass'] = $_POST['shortyapipass-trim'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['tinyarrow']['chk'] = $_POST['shortyapichk-tinyarrow'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['tinyarrow']['login'] = $_POST['shortyapiuser-tinyarrow'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['cligs']['chk'] = $_POST['shortyapichk-cligs'];
$socialit_plugopts['shortyapi']['cligs']['key'] = $_POST['shortyapikey-cligs'];
/* Short URLs End */
As I commented the 310 and down and the admin panel shows all but it will not save because of the above posted information. I have msn, if you want to get me on there I will be glad to talk more and give you my information for everything to the site if you don’t understand what I’m saying!
Steven Klotz 9:27 am on September 25, 2009 Permalink |
I’d love to be notified when this is working, as it’ll be a useful once the above mentioned bugs are worked out.
Gautam 3:01 pm on September 29, 2009 Permalink |
@Steven
I would be releasing a fix in a day or two.
