LG Social Bookmarks 2.0 - Now and ExpressionEngine Extension!

Just thread bumping.. I’ve tried uninstalling this thing and am still getting the same issues.~

Hi Leevi. A newbi here. I get nothing but the phrase “Enjoy this post? Share it with others.” showing up on the website. I have installed LG Social Bookmarks 2.0.2 and it shows up in extension manager and is enabled. I put the following code in my header

line to load jquery-1.3.2.min.js

This is the code in the template within weblog tags

{lg_social_bookmarks title="{title}" permalink="{path=news/news_item}"}
    Enjoy this post? Share it with others.
    <ul>
      {social_sites}
        <li>
          <a href="http://{social_site_url}" title="Bookmark on: {social_site_name}">_            http://www.cbufa.ca/news/themes/cp_global_images/lg_social_bookmarks/favicons/{social_site_img_url}_            <span>Bookmark on {social_site_name}</span>_          </a>
        </li>
        {/social_sites}
    </ul>
  {/lg_social_bookmarks}

When I look a page view I see this where the social bookmarks should go

I assume that tells me that the extension was engaged, but where are the icons with links? Any ideas. Thanks for your time and trouble.

Having same problem as ajax. Any ideas anyone?

Hi, I just recently upgraded to 1.6.7. Prior to the upgrade I was using this extension without any issue. After the upgrade, I upgraded to LG Social Bookmarks 2.0, and I can no longer get the extension to work.

As was mentioned by an earlier poster, my LG Social Bookmarks are also in an embedded template; however, the embedded template also includes the weblog:entries tag, so I would think that it should work in this instance. However, it appears that the tags are not being parsed at all by the extension. The extension is enabled in the CP. So, I’m not quite sure where to look next.

Any suggestions?

Just starting to use this cool extension. Quick question. When I bookmark to Facebook, I see that it pulls the title & meta description of the page as the default text. Is there any way to customize that meta data, such as use a custom summary field for the article? A little while later… I just now happened to read about Better Meta 1.7, but it doesn’t appear to be able to pull custom field text in to meta data, right? Is that something I can only do by wrapping the meta field in an actual weblog:entries tag? Thanks for any clarity!

I’d like a response to this as well. I want to do the same thing as stated in my post here

thanks

I can’t seem to get this extension to work at all.

Even in a template by itself, it doesn’t seem to process any output, but just spit out raw tags.

<pre><code>{exp:weblog:entries weblog="local" limit="1" status="Posted" disable="categories|member_data|trackbacks|pagination|category_fields" rdf="off" }

{lg_social_bookmarks title="{headline}” permalink=”{path=local/comments}”} Enjoy this post? Share it with others. <ul> {social_sites} <li> _ /themes/cp_global_images/lg_social_bookmarks/favicons/{social_site_img_url}_ Bookmark on {social_site_name} </li> {/social_sites} </ul> {/lg_social_bookmarks}

{/exp:weblog:entries}    [/code]

{lg_social_bookmarks title="HEADLINE SHOWS UP FINE" permalink="http://www.MYSITE.com/local/comments/"} Enjoy this post? Share it with others. * {social_sites} {social_site_name} Favicon Bookmark on {social_site_name} {/social_sites} {/lg_social_bookmarks}

I’ve tried turning off all other extensions, checking prefs, etc etc.

I’m also having the odd problem of the icons not showing up in the cp.

I’ve tried on both 1.6.7 and 1.6.8 - backgraded b/c of the other extension troubles I’ve been having; thought that might clear some things up. No luck yet….

I am still having an issue with the extension which is similar to ContextDesign’s issue (except that I am not experiencing issues with having the icons show up in the control panel.)

Is there any other documentation/information required to try to troubleshoot what is going on with this extension?

I’m also having the odd problem of the icons not showing up in the cp.

Cleared up the icon problem while investigating another - seems that my /themes/ folder had an .htaccess file w/ ‘deny from all’ in it. Not very helpful. Hopefully an error introduced by a recent server move and not a sign of something malicious.

Haven’t cleared up the lack of results from the extension, though. ; (

Marnie,

Any luck getting this working?

I have upgraded from 1.6.6 to 1.6.8 and lg_social_bookmarks from 1.4.3 (module) to 2.0.2 (extension). After changing the EMBEDDED template to this:

{lg_social_bookmarks title="{embed:tool_title}" permalink="{embed:tool_permalink}" }
  <ul>
    {social_sites}
      <li>
        <a href="http://{social_site_url}%22target=%22_blank" title="Bookmark on: {social_site_name}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">_          /themes/cp_global_images/lg_social_bookmarks_module/favicons/{social_site_img_url}_          <span>{social_site_name}</span>_        </a>
      </li>
      {/social_sites}  
  </ul>
{/lg_social_bookmarks}

only the raw code is diplayed (same issue as others have had):

{lg_social_bookmarks title="Restructuring" permalink="http://myserver/index.php/restructuring/" }

    * {social_sites} {social_site_name} Favicon {social_site_name}
      {/social_sites} 

{/lg_social_bookmarks}

Any ideas how to get this working?

Bueller? Bueller? ; )

Yes, I would love to receive an update regarding issues with this plugin as well.

Since this extension doesn’t seem to be working for a lot of people - has anyone come up with another EE-friendly way to include social bookmarks?

thx!

ContextDesign,

I like this.
