Ibegin-share: a social plug-in maximum

Theme plugins for adding social bookmarking is truly inexhaustible. And the developers of these scripts are trying to make their creations more versatile, comfortable, beautiful ...

Meanwhile, many bloggers refuse to use these buttons, believing that visitors to the blog is almost not in use.

How to ascertain whether or not to use? Someone is conducting a survey, someone puts a special plug-in, sending usage statistics of your social buttons to your server. The first objective picture of the likely will not open, the second too, not ice, because in the event of an accident on the server plug-in, we poimeem trouble with the display of our blog, not counting the fact that such a set of plug-ins sotsialok strictly defined and immutable.

Not so long ago came a new generation of social plugin called iBegin Share ( Home plugin ), With which we were able to clearly answer the question of whether to use button social visitors. At the same statistics podschityvatsya own script on your server. Count the number of clicks on the button script on the pages of the blog (note: if the plugin is displayed in the main, you will not know which of the entries clicked!), And used the user's actions and the transitions to backfill services.

It should be noted that the developers tried to fit the plug into it all that we can think of a user who wants to save the bookmarks on your computer or your article.

The plugin is able to practically everything that is necessary to know how social script:

  1. Add an article in an online bookmarking services. The default is 14 services: ibegin-share: плагин для добавления в социальные закладки
    Used social bookmarking couple of comments:
    -Link on Delicious leads to an outdated address is del.icio.us, which is now redirected to delicious.com
    Yahoo-link leads to a social network e.my.yahoo.com - Put a special link, unnecessarily addition of this service is still at least two options to save your bookmark to Yahoo: yahoo myweb (or bookmarks.yahoo.com) - the first option (both links are added to the bookmark myweb) and buzz.yahoo.com - second .
    -List sotsialok can be adjusted for this standard will have to edit script code.
  2. ibegin-share can send a link to email a friend (or your own). By the way, according to statistics, many Internet users (not geeks!) Use your email address to save the bookmarks;
  3. Save the page on your computer as a PDF or Word-document;
  4. To send the page directly to the printer.

The only thing he can not - is to send page or selected text to the blog-hosting services like LiveJournal or Blogger.

In this case, as I said, the plugin can use statistics to social buttons. However, for the inclusion of statistics need to tinker: Despite the impressive size of the script (533 kb in uncompressed form, for comparison: ShareThis -100kb, and the social script used by me , weighs only 39 kb!) many of the settings are made ​​entirely by hand. For example, to include statistics you have to add 4 lines to the header page template and import the dump script in the base of your blog. All this, of course, slows down the work of the blog, but your script now has detailed statistics on the use of himself.

The statistics take into account the page that used a script (warning! If the script is displayed in the main, you will not know what a record is added to your bookmarks. Unless you are not the main one entry :), as well as the type of ispozovaniya (bookmarks, save or email ) and what services are used by backfill.

Generally, when testing the script in my head spins one word: "Rich" :). Do not leave the impression that this script - do not support a modest element of usability blog, but far from the most basic, and almost the most important thing in the blog.
Redundancy is felt in everything from functions and ending with the appearance of: if the icon is huge, 40 to 40 px, if you look - as much as 5 provides skins screaming colors, built, of course, entirely on the graphic elements of the rather big size (5 kb each set).
All this, of course, nice and cool, but, in my opinion, it is possible and modest :)

In general, I'm a put this plugin was not solely due to the dislike of unnecessary redundancy, although its ability to send a page via email (incidentally, the same as that of the known plug ShareThis), as well as to the statistics I like. How to enjoy and an opportunity not only to put it on WordPress. On the page you can download the plugin and the version that works on any site.

Cons: I have this plug-in lokalhoste stubbornly refused to show the bookmarks saved on your computer and print as vWP 233, and in WP5.1

In addition, a comparison of its size and demands to resources available on the blog humble little java-script , which does, in large part, all the same, dictated by a very definite choice, if we dwell on the variant of placing many social buttons on your blog.

Here a careful reader should see a slight concern "- What is another way to send this page to your bookmarks?" There are, of course, not alone, and in my opinion, this method is more elegant, easy and fast. But for him, as he pulls on a separate post - later. Stay in touch!
