Support thread: Social Bookmarking/Social Shopping

**swguy** · 27 Sep 2006, 10:42 AM

Adds bookmarklet buttons for popular social bookmarking/shopping sites to your product_info page. Currently does del.icio.us, furl, wists and My Yahoo. If this mod is popular, I will add some more shopping sites (Kaboodle, Stylehive, etc.) later on. Get it while it's hot at

If you haven't used social bookmarking, it would be a good idea to learn something about it before putting it on your site. :) Open a free account on del.icio.us and try it out. It's particularly useful if you find yourself working on multiple computers throughout the day and need access to your bookmarks on each one - but even if you only work on one computer, it's interesting to see what other people are looking at and what's popular on the web.

Good luck,
Scott

The image below shows what the social button bar looks like.

Hi there,

I like this mod, I think it is a great idea. Works without a hitch! Will get back to you soon.

Thanks for the feedback. I have one more change in the hopper, which is to optionally (the cart owner can set a flag) provide a link to Socializer, which gives a brazillion links to social bookmarking sites. Actually, what I would really like is to have something like this, but for social shopping sites, but I haven't found it yet.

I waffled about putting this on (it's ad supported, so some shop owners might not want it), but didn't realize the obvious solution of just making it optional.

I'd like to use this, but it doesn't seem to work with chemo's seo urls mod.

Hi
Thank you for this mod!

Ive installed it and everything works EXCEPT for the Yahoo! bookmarks. When I try to bookmark the page using Yahoo button it ads the http:// in twice.

For example go to http://www.gogoflorist.com and go to one of my products and click the yahoo button. I end up with a dud URL in yahoo since its got the http:// in there twice

I am using Simple Seo URL mod could that be causing any complications?

I am using ZC 1.3.8 a is this not compatible it says 1.3.6 in the download can that be right?

Many Thanks

I don't know if this links are indexed by google or not, I wouldn't they be indexed.
Thanks

To everyone who's having trouble getting the bookmarks to show up in their shop:

If you're like me, you probably thought that the ReadMe instruction "1. Upload the '/addto' directory to your server Root Directory along with all the files in the /addto directory" was telling you to upload to the *actual* root directory /var/www/html/shop

It was not until I read through this thread and found the following information that I realised where I was going wrong.
Software Guy wrote:

"When I say "to the root of your shop" I mean copy this file to the same location under the DIR_WS_CATALOG directory in your
configure.php. So the path of the file you create would be
DIR_WS_CATALOG/includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom/define_main_page.php"

So after I uploaded the file to the same directory that contained my 'shop' it worked perfectly.
