SexyBookmarks v2.6.0 Feature Requests
Everything from new sites to custom mods... It's all here. Come check out the latest and greatest in requested features for SexyBookmarks!
Whoa there Nelly!
It's been a little while since I updated this category, but for good reason... There hasn't been a long enough break between versions where I'm not getting tons of emails asking for new features! It seems that you guys are really adamant about getting what you want and getting it NOW! haha
Fret not though, ye anxious citizens of Sexyville... Just because I haven't updated the list yet doesn't mean that I haven't been listening. So, to alleviate some of your anxiety, I've compiled a list of things to come soon. This list contains everything that's been asked for thusfar, and is broken down into several parts.
Part 1: Addtional Sites
This part contains a list of all sites which have been requested for inclusion in the plugin. Some have been added already in the development version, and some probably won't make it into the next release. However, don't worry your pretty little heads too much... If the site you're waiting for doesn't make it in the next release, it will certainly carry over to the next feature requests post and remain on my "To Do" list until it's finished.
Add Sfora to the list of available sites
Add OkNotizie to the list of available sites
Add Current to the list of available sites
Add Yigg to the list of available sites
Add Kirtsy to the list of available sites

Add N4G (News4Gamers) to the list of available sites
This site has already been added to the development version and will definitely be in the next release.
Part 2: Additional Features
Version for "static sites" which has most (if not all) features the WordPress version has
This is actually how the plugin started, but with the rapid pace of development regarding the plugin, it just hasn't been maintained and doesn't offer any of the cool features the plugin does. So, I'm working on creating a self-installing script which can be used on static sites. One that will offer nearly everything the WordPress version has.
Add the ability to make custom modifications that won't be lost upon upgrade
This one has been long awaited by many of you, and has finally been made a reality. It's been added to the development version already, and will be released in the next version.
Add integrated Awe.sm functionality and support
Still working on this one... It's proving to be an utter pain.
Add SexyURL to the list of available URL Shorteners
This one has already been added to the development version.
Add Migre.me to the list of available URL shortening services
Ability to choose from different plugin skins/themes to better match individual WP themes
This one is still in the works... Rest assured that it is coming at some point, just probably not in the next release.

I have a strange request. Can we lose the term sexy from the style sheet name and image names? I was in work and the works proxy blocks all urls with the word sexy in them and so Sexybookmarks wouldn’t display correctly when I visited my site.
11/5/09
Would changing the filenames only actually make a difference? I mean, the folder would still be called sexybookmarks, so assuming that your work proxies and firewalls are blocking the word sexy, wouldn’t it block that entire folder?
Just curious, as I’ve never worked with anything like that before. I will keep this request in mind though.
11/6/09
Dammit could of sworn I had hit reply but guess not. See my response below.
11/6/09
True. Hmm guess that means I will have to manually edit the files myself to remove the sexy reference or possibly change the folder and file names to sxybookmarks ? Not sure if Wordpress insists that the folders have the plugin’s name or not.
11/8/09
Hi, I’m just working on a friends site.
And I’m getting this error when I recently had to upgrade:
Warning: require_once(bookmarks-data.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ninindi7/public_html/vivaforeveryoung.com/wp-content/plugins/sexybookmarks/sexy-bookmarks.php on line 50
Could this be a compatability issue with theme-my-login redirecting pages?
Otherwise is it a plugin issue?
Thanks in advance.
Nina
11/8/09
Have you upgraded to the most recent version (v2.6.0.1)? If not, please do so as the previous version has severe flaws which we’re working out now.
Sorry for the trouble.
11/10/09
I love this plug-in, but would like to export it to integrate with a php site – will you (ever) be releasing a clean html/php/css edition of Sexy Bookmarks?
Thanks
11/10/09
absolutely! I’m working on one now, but it still has a ways to go before it’s ready. The only drawback is that the universal version (php/js) will be offered as a self installing script that you can purchase for $3 or $4 on ThemeForest.net when I get it finished… Hopefully everyone will think that’s it’s at least worth that much! haha
11/11/09
Hi Josh, great job you’ve done, i abdolutely adore the functionality of your plugin.
I’d like to share with you a thing I’d like to see in sexy bookmarks.
Would it ever be possible to use my own icons for the services (i.e. provide an option to upload icons for the services instead of using the defaults)
11/11/09
Yes, this fuctionality will be available in the next release… It was already in v2.6.0, but since we had to rollback after that release, the functionality isn’t going to be ready now until the next version.
11/14/09
Great Plugin… I just updated the plugin the other week. Keep up the good work. Are you planning on launching any other wordpress plugins?
11/15/09
Yes, I have a few ideas in the works…
11/17/09
I have another request apart from Wykop which is included already (hopefully in the next update!!!) and it’s a Twitter clone which is extremely popular in Poland: blip.pl.
The API is here: http://blip.pl/api-0.02.html
The hash tags are the same as in Twitter. The major difference is that BLIP uses ^ instead of @ and > for a direct message (public) or >> for a private one.
Hope you can include it along with Wykop – it will save me from adding another plugin just for BLIP.
Great work so far!
11/18/09
I’ll look into adding this to a future release… Thanks for letting me know.
12/9/09
Hi,
I have been using Sexybookmarks plugin for long time and it really rocks. I would be very happy to have Orkut Share option. Please do let me know if you r planing to implement. In India many bloggers r using Wordpress and many of them r on Orkut so we all can share on Orkut as well.
I have posted your website link on my blog.. just a small contribution from me.
Thanks for such a useful plugin.
12/16/09
Hi I love the features of SexyBookmarks but just noticed that the e mail function seems to have disappeared – is that a decision or by accident as we loved that facility
12/16/09
Hmm, are you sure you’re not just overlooking it? It hasn’t been removed, but the icon did change looks a bit… It’s now a blue icon with the “@” symbol on it…
02/1/10
The tool tip for email pops up and says “Check this box to include the”. I’m assuming it should follow that up with “email forwarding” or something.
02/2/10
Hi Andy, yea that problem was addressed in the next release… So once we release v3.0 (again) it will include the fix for the issue you’re seeing.
12/18/09
1) Will friendster becomes one of the available options?
2) Is it possible to have an embed feature so that others can embed or linked back the article?
12/21/09
Hey! Why not add a another choice for autodiscovery of shortlink ?
With the latest WP Stats plugin, it auto adds http://wp.me links to all article page, and for those of us already having our very own url shortener (YOURLS), we also have this meta shortlink added to our pages.
SexyBookmarks could use this short URL for twitter so all our stats are kept at the same place.
Sorry for double posting this here and in the latest blog post, I just saw you had a feature request page :O)
12/21/09
I’m actually in the process of integrating YOURLS into the plugin… Not sure when it will be ready, but it is on the list.
02/27/10
Yes, it will be great to have YOURLS support. I think adding YOURLS will be more reasonable than adding more ’static’ url shorteners. Waiting and crossing fingers. Big respect for plugin.
12/22/09
Firstly, very cool plugin! One question though and I’m sure many people have asked you this before.. Let’s say I have pasted the code into my page.php but would the plugin removed from my contact page only. What is the line of code I use to remove the pluging from off this page?
Thanks in advance :)
12/22/09
Edit the post/page you’d like to hide SexyBookmarks from, and enter a custom field with the KEY: Hide SexyBookmarks – and the VALUE: True
12/23/09
Thanks, that was very easy! :)
12/23/09
No problem… We’re here to please! haha
12/26/09
Hello,
Would it be possible to add some features for french spoken websites? Such as a “sexy” message in French and some bookmarks buttons toward french speaking social networks such as Wikio…
…if you need some help to do so.. ..feel free to ask me.. ..as I’m french ;)
Thank you
Emmanuel
12/27/09
Wikio is already in the plugin as an available network… If you’d like me to add a french “sharing” message, you can use the feature request form from the top menu on this site and send me the details as to what it would need to say and I would be happy to add it.
01/5/10
OK two things:
1. Is there a way to “deselect all” when choosing which bookmarks get displayed? I only wanted about 4 or 5 bookmarks so I had to sit there unselecting all of the ones I didn’t want one by one.
2. More importantly, what is up with the facebook share.php link? I can’t get it to import a proper image and it usually tries to use comment text instead of the post text. I know this is fb’s issue and not yours but I can’t seem to get any advice on it anywhere.
01/5/10
To answer your first question, yes… If you’re using the latest version of the plugin, there is an option to select “All, None, or Most Popular”.
In reference to the facebook thing, I’m not sure… I’ve had TONS of complaints about this, but it’s definitely a facebook issue, as the script sends the data to them exactly as it’s supposed to.
From what I’ve found by googling, they say that you can “force” facebook to use a particular image by using this in your header.php file…
<link rel=”image_src” href=”http://site.com/image.jpg” />
01/9/10
Can you make it so that this plugin also works well against dark background themed sites? You can’t see the ground shadow, so if you could give it a white tint or light to dark gray shadow, that would work.
Thanks!
Anthony
01/9/10
This is one of the issues we intend to tackle with the new icon set that we’ll be releasing in the future… That way the menu will look more aesthetic on light OR dark backgrounds.
01/15/10
I like the plug-in – thank you!
I do have a problem on the homepage. The link used of the plugin on the homepage (index) is the one from the first article, not the main URL and the name of the blog. It should be the URL and the name of the blog, since I’m on the index and not on a page, you agree?
The individual icons are very far apart. Is there a way to get them closer together?
01/16/10
I would like to request the adding of zaBox into this great plugin.
01/17/10
hi,
could you please include in the next release the hungarian iwiw?
the code can be found here: http://iwiw.hu/megosztas/buttons.html
thx
01/23/10
Could you integrate wp.me with SexyBookmarks ?
01/24/10
Yes, I believe we can…
01/24/10
Would you please include the option to not use any URL shortening service? It is not necessary for those of us with short domain names. Thanks.
01/25/10
I bet I can do that…
01/26/10
That would be great. Then I would use it. Thanks.
01/27/10
Yeah, i second this… if that carries any value
01/26/10
How I can use sexybookmarks directly from my template?
I want to place it on a custom part of my post
Thanks for a great plugin!
01/27/10
I’d be nice to be able to exclude sexybookmarks from individual pages or posts? Please let me know if I’m missing something and I can actually do that!
Thanks! Great Plug-in.
01/30/10
You can accomplish this already… See here: http://sexybookmarks.net/documentation/usage-installation#manualremove
02/8/10
Just wondering how the new version for static sites was coming along? Excited to test it out…
02/11/10
Have you plan to add the Google Buzz button?
02/11/10
I saw your tool on a site, and was like that is cool. I was just looking for the same thing as Matt. BUZZ Button.
02/13/10
i’ve manually modded sexy bookmarks waitin for the official update.if interested you can see the tutorial in my blog.
02/16/10
I’m agree with matteuzz
02/11/10
Hi,
I use yoolink for url save and share. Is it possible to integrate it?
Good job, thx :)
02/12/10
Loving this plug-in.
I have a pretty austere site, so the capability to mod the images in the next version is well appreciated; I will deffinitely take advantage of that.
Will this also be available for the “Sharing is Sexy!” image? There are some nice choices there, but I bet a lot of us would create a custom image if it were available.
02/14/10
Love Sexy Bookmarks!
Would like to see the Email option offer a small popup with form to enter a To, From and Comment field rather than the lame ‘mailto:’.
This would make Sexy Bookmarks perfect!
02/14/10
This is already in the works…
02/19/10
Excellent!!
02/14/10
Would be great to be able to see how many times my visitors share through Sexybookmarks – just like the analytics page on e.g. AddThis.com.
Is that possible or…? Couldn’t find anything about on this page…
Btw, thanks a lot for a very cool plugin! :)
//Michael
02/14/10
There is the possibility that this could be in a future release, but seeing as how it would be an extremely large feature to add, it most likely won’t be until the 4 series…
02/19/10
Hi Josh,
Is there a way to tag the links in your app using the Google url builder so we can find out how many click throughs each had?
02/15/10
google buzz button – it be nice to have
02/16/10
Buzz button! Now!
02/19/10
I request that you add ActiveRain to the list of available sites. It’s the top SM site for real estate agents.
Very impressive product!
David
02/19/10
I request for a Google Buzz Button please! :)
02/21/10
Google Buzz please. I have another plugin that’s not as… sexy.
02/22/10
Yes Google Buzz please.
02/22/10
Oh and btw: Tweetmeme will be very nice.
02/24/10
Let’s get a Buzz on! Please?
03/2/10
I have a request. Can you make support for the plugin “Wordtwit” The plugin functions as an add on for the “wptouch” A plugin that converts your site for mobile devices (mainly Ipod touch & Iphone) It also does the same thing twitter friendly links does.
03/3/10
Google Buzz Button should be there.
