   Hi there,

   I am redesigning my elderly WP site and want to drop SexyBookmarks in the header.

   Out of the box, SexyBookmarks is always tied to a post.

   My goal is to let SexyBookmarks work for any URL of my site.

   Here are my changes:

   In sexy_get_fetch_url(), set `$perms = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
   `

   In get_sexy(), set $title = urlencode(get_bloginfo('name') . wp_title('-', false));

   In get_sexy(), set $perms = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

   In get_sexy(), set $mail_subject = urlencode(get_bloginfo('name') . wp_title('-', false));

   This solution has one caveat in respect to anchors. Since URL anchors do not get send to the server, PHP cannot possibly know about it. URLs like http://localhost/wordpress/856-pong/comment-page-1#comment-1022 cannot be shared by SexyBookmarks. They will look like http://localhost/wordpress/856-pong/comment-page-1 instead, without the anchor.

   I can live with that ;)

   Summing it up, I call selfserv_sexy() twice: once in header and footer of every page served by WordPress. On each page users can share this very page.

   Comments & ideas greatly welcome ;)

   We are looking into adding this type of functionality to the plugin. Please email your information to josh[at]eight7teen[dot]com if you would like credit for the idea when we do implement it into the plugin.

   Hey Josh,

   thank you! I mailed you my details the other day.

   Do you already know when the new version will be released?

   Regards

   I'm working on implementing it now, but I doubt I will get it finished before I have to leave for work this afternoon.

   It won't take that long to implement your idea, but I have a whole list of things which I am adding before the next release as well...

   Things such as:

   1. Being able to host your own short URLs via the Twitter Friendly Links plugin

   2. A server-side check of permalink structure to ensure that the subscribe to comments link works everytime no matter how permalinks are set up

   3. Some minor CSS fixes

   4. A few encoding problems which are being a royal pain and are pretty hard to find...

   5. and your idea.
