One feature request..

After opening the dialog, it does not go with escape button. We explicitely have to press Exit button to close the dialog, please add escape key functionality.

Hi Jigar,

Thanks for your feedback!

I have updated the setup file and you should be able to press escape to close the window.

And thanks Alikl... to get the best effect out of this tool, you may also like to customize your CSS files as per http://blogs.msdn.com/rahulso/archive/2007/04/14/social-bookmarking-tool-1-1.aspx.

Sorry about forgetting that crucial information in this blog post!

Thanks and regards,

Social Bookmarking Tool Plug-in for Windows Live Writer

Another Plug-in which I wrote for inserting social bookmarks automatically in WLW needs a re-install.

Rahul,

I must say you've done a great job with this. I've been using your plug-in since WLW came out, and am very happy.

Keep up the good work!

I would really love to use this plugin, but it seems to me that there's a little bit of logic missing here. If I hit the publish button, that typically means I'm done. My post is live and I shouldn't be touching it again except in circumstances where I may need to do further editing. I don't consider inserting the social links as one of this post-publishing exceptions, but rather a pre-publishing excercise like adding tags and categories.

Are you able to allow users to insert the social links before they publish, rather than after the publish? Also, those fields in the dialog should probably be pre-populated if you're applying it to a particular post (or whichever article window has focus at the time)

I wanted to use V2.0 but when I went to install it it said I needed .NET 1.1 installed which considering I already have 2.0 and 3.5 installed doesn't really make sense.

Anyway to have this requirement removed? or do I really need to install 1.1 to use this plugin?

While I may not be as keen on social bookmarking as I should, I can easily see how this tool could help simplify the process of creating them. However, the tool generates far too many script errors once you've added the bookmarks to the post (which I agree with Chris Murphy in that it should be pre-publishing). Everytime my mouse passes over the inserted bookmarks tag it generates a script error.

re: Social Bookmarking Tags for Windows Live Writer

rahulso — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:54:01 GMT

Hi Duncan,

Thanks for the feedback. I will try working on the part where you don't need to publish twice. So far, I am not able to get a ready made API from Windows Live Writer which would tell me the URL before hand and hence we need to publish it to get the URL and paste it. I wish there was an easy way (although, it is not that complicated, I just am not getting enough time for that)

Regarding the other issue, I have posted it here a while ago...

Great add-on. Would be nice if I could add my own social bookmark sites. Specifically I'm interested in stumbleupon.

Hi Linuxamp,

I would release an update as soon as I get an opportunity. Right now, I am hardly finding any time to work on this. But, I hope things will be better soon and I will post an update on a new blog post whenever this is ready.

Thanks for your feedback,

Have a look at http://www.entopica.com/, a new social bookmarking web site

Entopica is an online system that allows you to easily access, categorize, share and store your bookmarks online.

It is free to join and registration is both quick and easy.

Discover a whole new world of social bookmarking. It is user friendly and easy to use.

Hi Rahul

Excellent work on the plug-in

2 questions please

1. Your own page links seem to have an "email it" and a "bookmark it" component. Is this done through the plug-in and if so how? They aren't in the default options and I would like to use them too

2. I often get a Run-Time error message after inserting the links. Specifically it says:

A Runtime error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug? Line: 0 Error: Object expected

Any thoughts on the error. It doesn't stop the functioning just annoying when it pops up sometimes a few times repeatedly

Otherwise great work and I really appreciate it

re: Social Bookmarking Tags for Windows Live Writer

rahulso — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:57:21 GMT

Hello Matt,

In fact, "Bookmark it" is something which was never there IIRC, and email it is something which started causing issues after a beta update of WLW. I was left with no other option than to remove it due to the way WLW works :-( Hopefully, the following link will explain what I mean.

Hi Rahul,

Thank you very much kind sir for creating this plug in for us. Works well my only feature requests would be:

• Ability to add more providers (e.g. facebook and stumbleapon).

• Ability to change the icons to higher-res better looking ones.

• Of course, fix the scripting errors when in Writer :)

Again thank you, This looks like one for the "keep" list! :)

I will try to add the 1st and 2nd one whenever time permits. As per the 3rd one, there is nothing much I guess that can be done...

Hi Rahul,

Great stuff, I may end up seeing if I can do something with the [excellent] Dynamic Template plug in created by the good Joe Cheng (http://www.joecheng.com/code/DynamicTemplate).

As for #3, I've just looked at the source generated, why are the mOut and mOvr functions added? From what I can see they are not required. Why not just remove them/bust them out to a property at the UI level?

Kind Regards,

Rob

I wish I could do that Rob.

I am using that javascript at my "blogsite" to get that hover effect. You might have noticed that when you browse something like http://blogs.msdn.com/rahulso/archive/2007/11/21/logparser-scenario-7-searching-specific-column-names-from-a-csv-file.aspx, you will see that effect (only in IE, I believe). The javascript is required and I mentioned it in one of the blog posts as well...

Hi Rahul,

No problem, just thought maybe you could strip it out and bump it up to a property that can be defined, so if you need it, you got it, if not, you dont! :)

My solution blogged here, I hope it is of help to others:
