Hi darthclue,

as you wished to open a new track for further development of bookmarks i do so. I will post here a changed version of the bookmark module (Drupal 5.x).

NEW FEATURES:

Sort Bookmarks in FOLDERS
Every user can sort his bookmarks in Folders. Standard folder is bookmarks, but users may add as much folders as they want.

Bookmarks Form with description
I found it´s use full to have an description with every bookmark. Standard description ist the teaser of a node (internal bookmarks)

Send your Bokkmarks to friends
If the forward module is installed you will have the possibility to send your bookmarks to a friend.

Bookmark links on nodes
Now bookmarks has an admin interface where you can choose the node types that you wish to have a bookmark/unbookmark link on. This is usefull if you don´t want to work with the bookmark block.

Share Bookmarks with other users
Maybe this is the same improvement you did all ready but on the bookmark form you have now a select box to share bookmarks on your user profile. A tab bookmarks is automaticly created on each user profile.

Share Bookmarks with groups
If OG is installed you may share Bookmarks with your favourite group. Bookmarks in groups can be sorted in folders by the group members (see access control).

sine grained access control
access bookmarks', 'access shared bookmarks', 'access create group folders' I useit because for one project user 0 should not see shared bookmarks. So may be we find some more things to change the access behavior.

CSS style sheet and new icons
Just some tatse changes :)

I changed the install. Please note that this is not a Patch!!!
So maybe you want to develop this module in the direction proposed by me. I would love to help, if you are seeking for a comaintainer i could help you.

Warm regards from cologne

I like these new features, but I'm not sure what you've offered in the zip file. Is it a new version of the module (to be downloaded and installed by us users) or is it just code for the developer?

its an entire module replacement. The OP probably should have used patches for easier review by the community.

Hi VeryMisunderstood,

Yes it is a kind of replacement of the module. I used some code from the bookmarks.module and put aditional code on it. The database is completly changed. It maked no sence for my to apply a patch because it´s not a Patch any more.

But if the community want´s I can provide a patch. Did you tested the "replacement"?

Warm regards from Cologne.

I tried the replacement and it seems to work and it gives me those extra features that I wanted. Haven't done any extensive testing yet. So far so good :)

Hi teeripaajanen,

nice to hear. If you have any problem just contact me. I will support you. In a few weeks (2-3) I will offer a 6.3 version of this module.

Warm regards from Cologne.

Please note that there is already a 6.3 version of the bookmarks module that includes some of these features. As I don't use D5 my ability to fully test this contribution is limited. If there are features that you want included in the 6.3 version please let me know.

The Title was originally in all caps. This is commonly regarded as shouting on the internet.

Also, to clear up my posting from this AM. I am not opposed to adding features to the 6.3 release but it should be noted that a majority of the features added by this update are already native to 6.3 and those that aren't should be requested as a separate issue for the 6.3 release.

Hi, I'm new to this module and discussion.

Is the zip file mentioned above a new module for D5 or D6?

It looks really great with valuable new features.

Thanks.

D5

D6 is recommended and has an official release.

The features included with this zip haven't been integrated into the official D5 release.

The Drupal 5 release is not supported at this time.

Thanks for replying.

I am just trying to clarify.

It appears that the zipfile contains features that have not been integrated into D5 yet.
It appears unlikely that this will happen anytime soon since D5 is currently unsupported.

Someone other than the owner of this module has published some code that adds features by actually replacing this module and uses different tables if i understand correctly. Seems to be a workaround/bypass that does not patch or include this module.

Is all of this true?

Is the new module in the attached zip file for D5?

If it is just drupal code, could some of the features currently unimplemented in D6 be ported over to the D6 bookmarks effort or is the code to specialized to the new module to be of use?

Is all of this true?

yes

Is the new module in the attached zip file for D5?

yes, though I wouldn't use it because it's actually a fork for the most part

As the dev has stated in this thread, he/she isn't working on a D5 version at this time because he/she uses Drupal 6.x
