I stumbled upon a module of wordpress that does similar stuff

http://sexybookmarks.net/
for an example see : http://sexybookmarks.net/platforms in the bottom

Is the fisheye effect in this module does something similar? I asked the creator of the sexybookmarks module if it was allowed to make a drupal port of it. But I guess we just need some theming to make it look like this. In my opinion it really looks great as a default bookmarking visual.

Give me your thoughts about this :-)

Would be a great addition. Any clue what the license of the code is? The Drupal contrib CVS can only contain GPLed code.

Sorry about the late reply...

Yes, SexyBookmarks is covered under the GPL, and as such, anyone is free to modify the code to port it to work with the publishing platform of their preference.

Good luck!

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the place to post this but - I would love to have the sexy bookmarks on my drupal website. does anyone know how to do this? I am new to drupal and I'm not very good with php (my site is about two weeks old) I tried using the sexy bookmarks code used for blogger found on this page...

http://www.cssreflex.com/2009/08/sexybookmarks-v2-for-blogger.html

I followed the instructions and pasted the first two boxes of code before the HEAD tag

and then placed the third box of code into a block and placed the block under the page content on my site.

http://www.moneyfunctions.com

I did not expect this to work but it is actually half way there. If you go to my site you will see at the bottom of the content the icons show up and they move in an oh so sexy fashion, but they do not link =(

So I wonder is there any way I can modify the code so that the icons link to the social sites? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

thanks in advance

You need to put the node url into it.

In node.tpl.php the following will print the URL of the current node.

global $base_url; print $base_url; print $node_url

You need to place that in the html of the links. Make sure you keep the li class and a class the same.

Combined the above code looks like this <?php global $base_url; print ($base_url . $node_url); ?> and then put it into the anchor.

So it would look like this for example:

<li class='sexy-mixx'><a class='external' href='http://www.mixx.com/submit?page_url=<?php global $base_url; print ($base_url . $node_url); ?>' rel='nofollow' title='Share this on Mixx'>Share this on Mixx</a></li>

Hi guys,

Just a quick note to let you know I have ported SexyBookmarks to Drupal (http://drupal.org/project/sexybookmarks) with permission from the developer (Josh / sexybookmarks). I did stumble across this issue, but unfortunately I had put too much time into the port to change the plans.

I did however look at what it would take to integrate the port with Service Links, and while it is technically possible, there are quite a few differences in the way the services are defined and the particular services that are in Service Links that would make it difficult. I still intend to try though, at some stage.

Cheers,
Deciphered.

sexybookmarks itself is a plugin which come as it is, nothing to do with Service Links, but everyone could build a similar style like i did for Fisheye (soon this part will be improved and documented).
