Bookmark button meta

Ruby Apps Typo
1

I have an idea,

Many blogs today have bookmark button tags in the post meta. An
excellent
example is 43folders.com, this kind of setup is great for blog publicity
and
user activity. I believe that Typo should have something like this built
in,
I know, I could just write it in the post layout. But it would be deadly
cool if users could select in the admin panel, which services he would
want
in the meta.

I would post a ticket. But I want community approval first.

I think Typo has enough features as it is right now, and would love to
see 4.1+ consist of refactoring, clean up, and less features rather
then more add-ons that aren’t part of core functionality.

You can’t make it a plugin–there’s no plugin infrastructure for that.
You could build it into your theme, but it’s not really pluggable in
general.

I guess that’s a problem then :slight_smile: - though I suppose the general
functionality of doing digg/reddit/etc links could be extracted out to
a more general rails plugin. Ie give the plugin a link, and get back
the links for services you specify, or image links, or whatever.

Well, what stops from giving tags? It is exactly the same thing Scott.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I’m not saying that I have anything against the idea. I actually like
it.

The problem is that we don’t have a generic plugin mechanism. So if
we add this, at least for now, it’ll be a part of the core of Typo.

So, can I do it? I was just asking if it was possible.

If so, I will do my best to make it, and submit a patch.
