I always wanted to have a nice, good looking plugin for wordpress to display the social bookmarking buttons for digg, reddit, … I personally don’t like the small buttons displayed on numerous sites. On the other side, having large icons occupies too much space in the layout.
I created SocioFluid, displaying some small icons, which grows when the mouse is moved over, similar to the mac effect. SocioFluid plugin uses jquery with icondock plugin to render the “mac effect”:

SocioFluid adds to your wordpress posts the buttons to the major bookmarking sites. In the current version of the plugin(v0.9beta) the icons to be displayed can be selected from administration panel. By default all the items are selected:

The plugin was tested on wordpress 2.3 and wordpress 2.5.1
If you have any request for a new feature for this plugin you can propose/vote or sponsor it on sociofluid page on openversion.com:
Licence: the plugin is distributed under dual license MIT-LICENSE and GPL-LICENSE. It includes jquery and icondock which are distributed under the same license.

03|Aug|2008 1Nice plugin - I will be adding it to my sites.
If you could add an Email icon that would be awesome.

03|Aug|2008 2Very good plugin. Adds some spice to a dull site. Will use it in mine.

08|Aug|2008 3Hmmm. When you mouse-over the icons they all just show “A” as their description. Can this be fixed in a future version?

13|Aug|2008 4Hi I have implemented this on my site, but when you move the mouseover the buttons they are highlighted with a black background. any idea how i can remove this?
thanks for a great plugin though!

15|Aug|2008 5Hi, I took a look on your website. The problem is that the plugin uses the inherit the css style defined in the page. Each icon is a link and is displayed accordingly. For example for an ordinary link in your page when the mouse is onover the background is black. In style.css the #000 is used.
a:hover, a:active {
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
background:#000;
}
Remember sociofluid id still beta. In the next version i’ll define a separate syle.

31|Aug|2008 11Oof, this is definitely the best looking Social Bookmarking plugin I´ve seen! It would be great if you could add meneame.net as well - this is the biggest Social Network in the Spanish speaking countries. Thanks!

Stefanie
11|Sep|2008 13I, too, would like to be able to put the buttons in a custom place.

18|Sep|2008 14Thanks so much for this hot plugin, it looks great!
To Stephanie: if you want to get the plugin to show in a custom place, you have to dig around in the php a little bit…lol. Like try to chage the alignment from “center” to “left”.

25|Sep|2008 17Thanks for the plugin. Very attractive and boosts the feel and professionalism of the site. Is there a similar plugin that allows others to connect with you in social sites such as Myspace and Facebook?
admin
26|Sep|2008 18can you try to set different size for the buttons? play a little bit with this I think this is the problem…
it’s a nice idea to have such facebook/myspaceplugin. I think this will be my next project… thanks for the ideea
Rick
02|Oct|2008 19I am having the same problem with the animation. Other than Akismet this is the only plugin I have installed on a brand new site and I get no animation at all. I have tried every combination of sizes for the buttons with no luck.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Rick

02|Oct|2008 20Please ignore my last post. It has to do with the theme. I changed themes and it works fine.
Thanks for a very nice plugin.

Thanks

28|Oct|2008 30Aloha!
First of all, thanks for the wonderful plugin.
However, my site ran into a slight problem. I can’t turn on the “BlogMarks” bookmark site, or else all the icons will disappear from my blog. Perhaps there is some problem with my blog. Please look into it. Thanks!
Once again, great plugin. Cheers!

28|Oct|2008 31I find it when the small size is chosen, that you can’t really click on the buttons as the ALT text comes over it.
Pain
28|Oct|2008 32Guys just upgraded to v1.1 and now the icons are invisible - they seem to be taking up space but nothing reacts or is visible …
I’ll leave it activated so you can check it out.
Otherwise a GREAT plugin!
Robert
29|Oct|2008 33Hi there,
plugin STOPPED WORKING after upgrade to 1.1?
Same problem as previous post - icons are invisible (though they show quickly when loading).
BUGGY - DON’T UPGRADE!
Otherwise great plugin!

29|Oct|2008 34Hi Guys,
Seems that the last version has a few bugs. I’ll try to fix them in the next days so another version, clean and shiny will be ready.
Pain - try to take again a new version of the plugin, some images were missing, the problem is solved now.
Miroslav Glavic - you selected the same size for small/large buttons. you don’t have the mac effect due to this. If you want to can try to set a smaller size for the ’small’ buttons. However this there is a problem with the plugin that will be fixed in couple of days.
PzheL - I “bookmarked” your problem and I’ll try to see what happens. It’s strange because for me it works.
Robert: I’m not able guess what happens because you went back to v1.0
Robert
31|Oct|2008 35Hi admin
I will be glad to help with any bugfixing if you contact me via email.
Best regards
Robert

11|Nov|2008 36Hey
Thanks for developing such a good-looking plugin.
For me it sadly stopped being “fluid” - the icons are not animated anymore.
The problem is that i can’t tell when exactly that happened or what i did when it happened.
I however have tried resetting sizes and even reinstalled the plugin completely and it still doesn’t seem to work for one reason or another
Any help is greatly appreciated.
