I respect this contribution quite a bit as I would be lying through my teeth if I were to tell you that Google doesn't factor in social networks in their rankings. And its intensifying.

Quick question about this contribution; hopefully someone will indulge me here.

If I just wanted to install social bookmarking features on one or 2 pages of a 30 page commerce site, and these are custom php pages (not product pages), is this contribution worthwhile for me too look at?

Great contrib and really easy to install!!

Not looked in detail at the code as I'm trying to do loads of other stuff as well but has anyone got this working with other social sites - facebook etc?

[finjay]

I use OSCMax and had to do the same thing.  Has anyone added other sites like Reddit?  What's the best way to do that?

Great addition thanks.

I use CRE LOADED so had to make a few quick changes:
1. /catalog/product_info.php is /catalog/templates/content/product_info.tpl.php
2. Had to remove leading / in front of images in social_bookmarks.php file
ie <img src=\"images/yahoomyweb-small.png\" alt=\"Add to Yahoo myWeb\" title=\"Add to Yahoo myWeb\" border=\"0\"> Add to Yahoo myWeb</a>

Incidentally, I notice that del.icio.us still opens window instead of new tab.

Added a version 1.3a - Great contribution btw - was about to start writing one myself when I came across it!

Added some more links, and modified the code to remove the need for all those escape characters.

Contains:

del.icio.us
Digg
Google Bookmark
Yahoo myWeb
Furl
Squidoo
StumbleUpon

Additional images included.

Hi,

Great Contrib - just what i've been looking for.

Is there any chance you can either teach us how to add new sites to the social_bookmarks.php file or add these to it please:

Facebook
StumbleUpon
Slashdot
Netscape / Propeller
Technorati
Newsvine
Blogmarks
Blinklist
Diigo
Folkd
Blinkbits
Netvouz

In this social marketing web2.0 or whatever they want to call it - the more the merrier.

Many Thanks

I have to confess that since posting the above I've started using the link below on my site, so am unlikely to continue contributing to this.

There are some times that reinventing the wheel just isn't worth the effort.....

Many thanks,

Hi,

I'm having a slight problem installing this:

DONE. Step 1: Backup your files and database!  This is always the first step with the installation of any new OSCommerce contributions.

DONE Step 2:The file social_bookmarks.php should be uploaded to /includes/modules/social_bookmarks.php

DONE Step 3:The folder /images/bookmark_icons should be uploaded to /images/

PROBLEM Step 4:OPEN /product_info.php with a text editor

I have searched through the product_info.php file and I cannot locate the following code:

Can anyone help me out with this?

<tr>
		<td align="center" class="smallText"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_DATE_ADDED, tep_date_long($product_info['products_date_added'])); ?></td>
	  </tr>
<?php
	}
?>

I've had the user-friendly url contribution and the individual shipping module installed, maybe the coder had to modify the code that's why I can't view the correct code... can this be the cause of the problem?

If this iss the issue, is it possible to manually add the following code to each on of my products description? If so, where do I have to enter the code?

Any help or advice would be most appreciated.

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url   = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-addthis.gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="Bookmark and Share" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'myname';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script>  
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

Well, since the contribution is no longer supported, why not use the socializer_OSC add on?

No, the furl image is there in v1.7. However, the facebook image is no good in v1.8.

Any ideas, anyone?  This totally defeats the object of improving SEO using social bookmarks, if it does not work with friendly urls.

help is needed urgent,

thanks in advance
