This is a wonderful work and a great plugin. Rearing to pull this one for my blog.

Gave it a spin, neat stuff Small suggestion that i thought of when i was copying the files to my wordpress account, instead of bundling each of the icons in your extension, why not just use the respective sites favicon ? this way you also keep it updated to any logo changes they make plus if the user has already visited that site, the image might already have been cached in his browser. I’ve used this technique in the “Me Elsewhere” module on my blog

Feb 11, 2009

Thanks Rohit, Indeed a nice suggestion. Will surely look to push this for the upcoming releases.

Important: For those who have downloaded the plugin before this comment of mine, kindly download the same again, since I checked in a hardcoded url’s in the toolbar.php.

Really this is one of the most awaited plugin. Thanks Abhi. I m sure this will help us get more social bookmarks, if not comments

Feb 11, 2009

Awesome plugin! Some sugestions: a way to insert more buttons in it and to change what is written on them. My blog is in portuguese, so it would be cool a option to write in portuguese in the toolbar instead of having to mess directly with the plugin’s files. It would also be great if we could have the option of choosing the social networks to add the posts. Digg is the biggest of them, of course, but there aren’t any blog in Brazil submiting posts to Digg…

Thanks for this great plugin

Thanks Terramel,

You have hit the bulls eye as far as the next release is concerned. This is my first wordpress plugin so I didn’t want to complicate it for myself.

However the focus for the next releases will be:

1. Intertionalization

2. Options to choose the social bookmarking buttons

3. Option to customize the tool bar (different skins etc)

This list will grow as I get more feedbacks. Thanks again,

Abhi

Hi,
I’m encountering a problem. I’m getting:

Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /toolbar.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Can you help me? Thanks!

Feb 11, 2009

Hi,

Did you copied toolbar.php file from /blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-toolbar/toolbar.php to /blog/toolbar.php.

Further I hope you are on linux. You will have to set the permissions of toolbar.php to 0755. Also if required change the group settings to same as other files in that folder i.e. same as files under your /blog folder.

Let me know if you are still having some issues.

Feb 11, 2009

Stephanie

Yes, I copied the toolbar.php and placed it in my root directory. Should there still be a copy of toolbar.php in the plugin directory?

I’ve set permission to 755.

Yes, I am on linux

Still get the same error.

Further, I’m getting the same error on another blog on a different hosting company

Feb 11, 2009

No there should not be a copy of toolbar.php in the /blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-toolbar/ folder. Further I assume you have renamed wordpress-toolbar to wp-toolbar.

It’s tough to analyze what’s going on until I see the blog. Can you kindly comment your blog url here or mail me the same. May be you discovered first bug in the plugin.

Feb 11, 2009

Hi, this is a MUST HAVE toolbar and i searched a lot and finally a release from you

The Plugin is wonderfull but i have one problem.
I dont know if im the only ony.. but the buttons “comment” “download the plugin” and the “house” button are not showing in INTERNET EXPLORER 7.
I know that IE su**s but most use it… so take a look and see how u can change that thing…
Or maybe its only a problem at my broswer…

Anyways… CONGRA… for ur great Work

Feb 11, 2009

Hi Romeo,

I know this release is still a bit scratchy. I truly didn’t spend much time fitting it for IE’s. And I just noticed it does sucks in IE (I have IE6). I will take it as P1 bug and release a fix for the same asap.

Thanks,

Abhi.

Feb 11, 2009

Stephanie

Abhi -

I emailed you a link

Feb 11, 2009

@Stephanie

I investigated the site link you sent and it seems it has to do something with rewrite rules on your site. Because when i tried simple http://yoursite.org/toolbar.php it works.

However as soon as I enter a backslash in the url parameter it starts returning 403 forbidden error. For instance:

http://yoursite.org/toolbar.php?url=yahoo.com (don’t give 403)

http://yoursite.org/toolbar.php?url=http://yahoo.com (gives 403)

Another bug which I found in my plugin is that something like this:

http://yoursite.org/toolbar.php?url=www.yahoo.com doesn’t work. I shall take care of the same in the coming release, but as far as your site is concerned, it has to do with some kind of rewrite rule somewhere which doesn’t interpret the backslash in the url parameter correctly.

All the best.

Feb 12, 2009

Mikael

Great idea and great plugin!

I’m having a small problem though. When my blog-title contains æøå it messes up the title in the toolbar. Any solution for this? Please?

Feb 12, 2009

Mikael

Ok, found a solution myself.

Insert:

after:

<head>

Feb 12, 2009

I was trying to validate the toolbar.php in W3 but i can’t (http://validator.w3.org) , IE support would be great, the most visitors on my website use IE.

Feb 12, 2009

Floorian

The link to this page from the WordPress plugin page, isn’t correct. Awesome plugin – definitely want people to find it!

Feb 12, 2009

1. Add <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”> after the php call.

2.Get rid of the <html style=”overflow:hidden”> in toolbar.php, replace it with
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=”en” lang=”en”>

3. Put :
html {
overflow:hidden;
}
In CSS .

The toolbar.php seems a little bit valid now, but no totally.

Feb 12, 2009

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”> The one I posted before was not good.

Feb 12, 2009

It seems that without the social bookmark buttons, everything is ok in IE….

Feb 12, 2009

pfff finally after 2 hours of trying everything i’ve got it, it was something in the CSS, it should now work on IE. Just change
.bookmarks {
float:right;
}

with
.bookmarks {
float:left;
}

Well, the other tips i’ve given are in moderation because of the links there regarding w3.org

Now I have a question : How can I disable this plugin for “pages” ( i mean this one: is_page() )

Feb 12, 2009

WOW! The power of opensource. Thanks Partz Partzescu and Mikael for your valuable inputs. I have made the necessary change to the subversion directory and also releasing 1.1 version of the same, since I guess these changes are critical for people.

As of now I can see unicode issues being solved and IE Problem too has got resolved.

In next release you all can expect the following:

1. Skinning of the toolbar

2. Internationalization (multi language support)

3. Custom choose your social icons

4. Custom choose your pages, where you want to have them

5. If you have sold a link to someone and don’t want it to be toolbared, you can control that too from the admin panel.

6. Any other enhancement, suggestion which people put forward here.

Thanks again everyone for suggestions and supporting this,

Abhi

Feb 12, 2009

Abhi,
The new release is ok with IE
THe problem is not showing anymore.
I’ve testet with Google Chrome too and everything its ok.
The only problem that i’m having is the problem that Stephanie had or smth like that.
THe Plugin its ok and funktion ok.
I have another plugin (Sociable) installed in my Page and as i click over one of them… for ex. Digg…. the button dont bring me to the page to submit the news… but it brings me to the same page of my article….
Here u can try…
Go to
http://www.romeolab.com/lets-fifia-2009/
and try to klick the Digg Icon… and dont funktion.. with technorati too, with the first 3 (albanian social network) dont funktion too….
I think its a conflict with the Sociable Plugin that makes this or maybe i’m wrong too.
The sociall plugin that i’m using is a self modification of http://yoast.com/wordpress/sociable/
Hoppe u will solve this and im ready to support you for ur next releas for multilanguage (I’m gonna translate it in the Albanian language if u dont mind).

Bests,
Romeo

Feb 12, 2009

Hi,

Yeah it is indeed a conflict with the sociable plugin or infact with the way digg takes in the submission url.

We have something like this for wordpress toolbar:

http://www.romeolab.com/toolbar.php?url=Digg URL]

and digg submission page have something like this:

http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=Your Page]

So the wordpress toolbar plugin is currently confused on which url parameter to pick. By default it picks the last one, which is [Your Page] and brings you back to the same page.

Interesting. Didn’t thought about this. The solution has to be from my side, since digg won’t change the way they take in the url’s

For a quick hack you proceed as follows:

1. Go to wp-toolbar.php file under /blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-toolbar/wp-toolbar.php and change the following 3 lines:

$param = “&from=”.$page_url.”&home=”.$domain.”&hometitle=”.$blogtitle.”&fromtitle=”.$posttitle;

$param = “&wp-toolbar-from=”.$page_url.”&wp-toolbar-home=”.$domain.”&wp-toolbar-hometitle=”.$blogtitle.”&wp-toolbar-fromtitle=”.$posttitle;

$html = str_replace(“‘”.$link.”‘”, “‘”.$domain.”/toolbar.php?url=”.$link.$param.”‘”, $html);

$html = str_replace(“‘”.$link.”‘”, “‘”.$domain.”/toolbar.php?wp-toolbar-url=”.$link.$param.”‘”, $html);

$html = str_replace(‘”‘.$link.’”‘, ‘”‘.$domain.”/toolbar.php?url=”.$link.$param.’”‘, $html);

$html = str_replace(‘”‘.$link.’”‘, ‘”‘.$domain.”/toolbar.php?wp-toolbar-url=”.$link.$param.’”‘, $html);

2. Go to toolbar.php under /blog/toolbar.php and replace $url = $_GET['url'] to $url = $_GET['wp-toolbar-url']

$from = $_GET['from']; to $from = $_GET['wp-toolbar-from'];

$fromtitle = $_GET['fromtitle']; to $fromtitle = $_GET['wp-toolbar-fromtitle'];

$home = $_GET['home']; to $home = $_GET['wp-toolbar-home'];

$hometitle = $_GET['hometitle']; to $hometitle = $_GET['wp-toolbar-hometitle'];

Basically we have appended wp-toolbar- to each and every parameter being passed so that it doesn’t conflict with any other social networking standards.

I just checked the same on my blog, you may now try hitting the digg button on my blog above to test it.

Regards,

Abhi

Feb 12, 2009

Shall release a version 1.2 probably tomorrow with these fixes and a few other enhancements. Being my first wordpress plugin, doesn’t help really. Need to learn from these experiences

By the way I have made the changes in the SVN Repository and if you download the plugin again after probably 15 minutes, you will get the new updated files in 1.1. May be you don’t want to touch the files yourself

Feb 12, 2009

Thx a lot Abhi,

its not a problem, thats why other tests the Plugin to find the Bugs in it. I will always report if smth happen.
The important thing is that u always Fix the Bugs (very fast) and release a new Version.
Dont worry.. This Plugin is wonderfull and im sure in the future, with the new releases and fixed bugs, will be very successfull.
No one is perfect
I better wait for the new release tomorrow to install it and at the moment im disabling the plugin.

p.s As i said send me the language file and i’m gonna translate them into Albanian language and propably in Italian language too (since i know that language very good)

Bests,
Romeo

Feb 12, 2009

Only one question… I guess I’m not the only blogger using automatic upgrade for plugins. Will the new versions work with the automatic upgrades? Or will we have to move again toolbar.php to our blog’s home directory?

Thank you very much

By the way… Is the upgraded version coming with options to choose which socials networks to add and to change whats written in the buttons?

Thank you very much

[]s
Terramel

Feb 12, 2009

@Romeo:

I will release the updated version tomorrow and announce the same here on the blog. Also we will chalk out how to proceed with internationalization.

@Terramel

If you look at the plugins which you generally install, none of them ask you to place any of their files under /blog/ folder. However since this plugin kindda adds a new page to your blog, I am not sure how to get this working without having to move the toolbar.php file. Automatic upgrade might not work, or you may try auto upgrade and then manually move the toolbar.php file.

Let me know if there is a better way to do this. I am unaware of any such method as of now.

Regards,

Abhi

Great plugin but it interferes with my image links used by the shadowbox plugin. I use shadowbox plugin for some of my images. The plugin uses external image links to create a lightbox effect. It seems your plugin overrides the lightbox effect.

Feb 12, 2009

Hi,

Yes it will override the lightbox if the z-index of the overlaying toolbar is greater than the shadow box. However I think it will only be the top portion where it must be overriding the shadow box. Can you mail me or comment a link to one of the url’s.

Regards,

Abhi

Feb 12, 2009

John

It shadowbox works here, http://www.democracyforvancouver.org/2009/02/05/whats-american-dream/

But stops image from showing in the post here, http://www.democracyforvancouver.org/2009/02/03/good-news-2/

Not sure what is causing the different effect.

I will deactivate toolbar after a few hours so please check it out as soon as you ca. Thanks.

Feb 13, 2009

Can you please tell me how to exclude some pages, i want the plugin work just in postsand index but not on single pages like this one : http://www.lacaterinca.com/schimb-de-link-uri/

It’s a link exchange page and it wouldn’t be ok to show the toolbar on those links.

Feb 13, 2009

Angelo Gon

@Abhi I can translate to portuguese if you want, just le me know…

another thing in in the twitter I just changed

home?status=<?php echo $from; ?> to
home?status=Reading :<?php echo $from; ?> to

Thanks for the plugin

Feb 13, 2009

Angelo Gon

Hi Abhi

Great plugin Thanks.

PS.: if you want I can translate to portuguese, just let me know

Regards

Feb 13, 2009

@John

I could see your images using the lightbox plugin on both the pages. Probably a problem at your end and not with toolbar compatibility with this plugin. Let me know as you find out anything

@PartzPartescu

Dood you just ordered the next version of plugin i.e. where you can choose what all pages to exclude this plugin action. Will be out in probably a week or so.

@John

Though I could’nt replicate the bug, but still a nice suggestion to have an option to skip this toolbar from. I obviously had this option in other form, i.e. skipping a particular domain url (not only your site) from this plugin

All this has been schedules for the next release, thanks for your patience

Feb 13, 2009

Andy

I like your Plugin very much and I would like to use it.
Important for me is SEO. Because the Links are changing, it will have an bad influence, isnt it?

Feb 13, 2009

@Andy: add in toolbar.php after <head> following code :
<meta name=”googlebot” content=”noindex,noarchive,follow” />
<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,follow” />
<meta name=”msnbot” content=”noindex,follow” />
The toolbar will be seen as a part of you website while linking through the toolbar.php,
so i really recommend to do it noindexable like i said before. Google doesn’t like iframes,
but if you say to google that this page is not indexable then it is ok. The “follow” atribute helps
you distribute the pr that goes out of your page throughout the changed link go back to your site via the
toolbar link back to you page and article.

@admin: I don’t want to have a visual except in wordpress, i just want a code or something. I will use for my site your plugin customed by me . You can see a example here : http://malwarecity.lacaterinca.com/toolbar.php , this is a test page, before I upload it on the main page
I just want the page I mentioned to be excepted and i don’t know any php, i’m a n00b

Feb 13, 2009

This would be a lot nicer if it would not actually modify links but use javascript to do the redirection.

Feb 13, 2009

@PartzPartzescu

Nice one dood, I did liked the skin and the logo on top left. Well in next release when you have an admin panel there again you will be able to configure all this. You will be able to choose components to show, the skin to show etc etc.

@Andy

SEO thing, well I m not too sure how much does this effect the SEO. But main purpose of this toolbar was to get your lazy roaming readers back to your site for comments and social bookmarks.

@Mihai Secasiu

Nice suggestion! Why not have an option in admin panel to choose between javascript driven version which doesn’t require url change and hence SEO is intact.

phhhhh….a long list for the next major release. Check out and thank you all for the suggestions and feedbacks

Feb 13, 2009

Andy

I had to delete your toolbar form my page because of those SEO matters. The javascript suggestion ist very good. You should to this first, changing links ist not every nice and blog user with seo knowledge, wont use the toolbar because of this matter.

I love your toolbar and the idea, I will use it when javascript is enabled, all the best for you and your nice plugin.

Feb 14, 2009

Awesome plugin! Can’t wait for the new features, thank you!

Feb 14, 2009

Nodi

Hi, I m fortunate to have stumbled upon your plugin. Really awesome. Just followed the conversation above and I see some people pointing to the SEO degradation by this plugin, but as far as I know, search engines will go down to toolbar iframes and pick the outlinked url’s from there.

Anyways I am sure you must be working upon the javascript section of this plugin too, which will satisfy all. Looking forward to the next major release.

Feb 14, 2009

criss

Hi Abhi
great plug-in and i really want it, but seems every time it will goes to the 404… (on my blog)
and http://myblog/toolbar.php is ok, how is this problem, i hope you can solve this for me!
and suggest to make a config panel in wp, will make this plug-in easy to use for more people!

Feb 14, 2009

Hi, I could have helped only if you could have given me the url to your blog If you look at the thread above Stephanie too had the same issues and after inspection we found it’s because of the rewrite rules on your server.

Read my comments above in reply to Stephanie’s problem, where a backslash in the url parameter (?wp-toolbar-url=http://…..) is not allowed on her server. I am pretty sure same is the case with you. However I can investigate more only if you can mail or post you blog url.

Regarding the admin panel, its already on the way out. Probably a week patience and all issues will be fixed

Regards,

Abhi

Feb 14, 2009

criss

idloveto.com.cn this is my website it is in chinese but i think it doesn’t matter

Feb 14, 2009

Hi Criss, I was right. You site too have the same rewrite rule problems. Because http://www.idloveto.com.cn/toolbar.php?wp-toolbar-url=http works fine, but not http://www.idloveto.com.cn/toolbar.php?wp-toolbar-url=http:/

You need to check your rewrite rules to get this working…..I will also try to dig up on this issue because supposedly many people are facing this. All the best.

Feb 14, 2009

criss

yes thank you very much i will try, as i have few knowledge of php and other language.
wish oneday i can disseminate this plugin to more chinese wper.

best wishes!

Introducing WordPress Toolbar 2.0

After some hard work I am glad to announce 2.0 version of wordpress toolbar which is a major overhaul from 1.x series. For more details read the change log description in the post above.

Important:

Read how to install 2.0 which will require you to completely deactivate 1.x series plugin.

Key Features:

1. Admin Panel for all the control you wanted to have.

2. Allows you to exclude domains of your choice from being toolbared

2. SEO Restoration: Now plugin won’t change the target url in your post, but use javascript to open the link in the toolbar. Hence your SEO is intact.

Let me know of any bug if you encounter.

Regards,

Abhinav

Feb 15, 2009

Nodi

You simply rock, I didn’t expected you to release such a major change within 2 days. I am sure now this plugin is going to hit big. All the best and a big thank for your wonderful work.

Feb 15, 2009

Abhi,
Wonderfull Job but i dont know why i’m having problems.
I just installed and activated it and it doesn’t funktion. It don’t shows to the outgoing links.
With Firefox i’m having 1 problem. Whenn i click a article in my blog it shows the toolbar but only the “Get this Toolbar” button.
With IE happen nothing…

Feb 15, 2009

Satish Gandham

I was reluctant to use your earlier version of the plugin as i was not sure it effect on search engine rankings as you were changing the urls.
But, now i will use this on all my blogs.
It would be gr8 if u can extend this toolbar to every outgoing link on the blog.

Feb 15, 2009

http://www.romeolab.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php

This is the way it shows.. a “blank” toolbar with only the “get this toolbar” button

Feb 15, 2009

Hey just a few curious questions:

1. Did you installed 2.0 after reading the installation docs in read me. It’s quite important

2. Secondly, can you go to the admin panel and press update options once.

3. Finally I see your pages already have an onclick event for all the links and this can be a problem. Since the newer version simply tries to use onclick event, it can be a potential problem.

BTW can you try (1) and (2) and let me know.

Feb 15, 2009

Hallo Abhi,
Yeah i installed it withouth changing anything and update throught the admin panel.
I have deleted all the previous versions but the problem that i told u before consists.. and i dont know why…
And what do u meain onclick event on my page.. sorry but i dont understand that really…

Feb 15, 2009

I get this error on the Admin setting page after installing (WP 2.7.0 & K2 theme):

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: directoryiterator in /home/georg35/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/wp-toolbar.php on line 97

Feb 15, 2009

George you need to have PHP v5 for directory iterator to function and I guess you are on v4, is it?. Can you kindly upgrade to PHP v5 or else I will try to send you a hacked version of the plugin.

Feb 15, 2009

Romeo I just found out the problem. If you view the source of the page and see the source of the outbound links, it has 2 onclick events….
So I can see google analytics and wordpress toolbar both plugins inserting an onclick event and for some reason wordpress toolbar onclick event is disabled.Can you try deactivating google analyics plugin and clear your cache.

Feb 15, 2009

Tammy

Yeah you need to php5 for directory iterator to work. BTW I too just upgrade to PHP5 and toolbar is going good. Nice work, burning your feeds for next releases…

Feb 15, 2009

Andy

WOW, great work!!!
I have got only one problem. All links open now in same window, can you please allow target=”_blank” ?

I think it worked before with your toolbar.

Feb 15, 2009

Balaji

Excellent work, with a lot of scope for enhancements. As of now I see this plugin fast catching up and a must for wordpress bloggers.

Feb 15, 2009

I believe I am on PHP 4, is that something I can change or does my host need to do this? Thanks for the quick followup!

Feb 15, 2009

Depends again on your host. But mostlty your host will have to upgrade this for you, Just post a support ticket with your hosting provider and see if they can do something for you.

If you are for some reasons unable to switch to PHP5, i will try to send in a customized copy for PHP4. But if you can get that, nthing better than tht.

Feb 15, 2009

I will have to check on the PHP 4/5 issue, I have to request to be moved to a new server for this and I think I recall there being an issue with moving to PHP 5 for me, will look into it.

Otherwise, great to see the progress on this plugin, sems like the new features are excellent! Thanks again.

Feb 15, 2009

Mikael

Could you please mail me a php4 enabled hack? I can’t upgrade my host myself.

Feb 15, 2009

@George and @Mikael

Yeah the next release will include the following:

1. Support for wordpress blogs hosted on PHP4

2. An option to insert target=”_blank” on all outgoing link

And in future release I am planning to have following plugins clubbed into wordpress toolbar:

1. Socialble – Because you already have all the favicon images on your server, you may want to avoid a same copy for different plugin

2. Google Analytics Plugin – Since wordpress toolbar current inserts a onclick=”" event for all outgoing links, it is clashing with the google analytics plugin. As a result one of the next releases will allow you to club functionlity of google analytics plugin with wordpress toolbar plugin.

Basically wordpress toolbar will grow 2 times bigger

Feb 16, 2009

great to hear on the next release Abhi, thanks again!

Feb 16, 2009

Andy

Yes GREAT. When do you think you will get the release on the road? I will start my blog in about 4 days.

Feb 16, 2009

Well, i just found out that in order to make this plugin work on Goddady PHP5 you need to put the following thing in .htaccess :

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

I’m just testing this.

Feb 16, 2009

Feedback: <a href=”<?php echo $fromurl; ?>/#comments” style=”padding-left:4px; background:transparent url(<?php echo $extra; ?> doesn’t work correctly on my site, i have to delete the slash like this : <a href=”<?php echo $fromurl; ?>#comments” style=”padding-left:4px; background:transparent url(<?php echo $extra; ?>

I also have another blog on wich comments are replaced with respond like this: <a href=”<?php echo $fromurl; ?>#respond” style=”padding-left:4px; background:transparent url(<?php echo $extra; ?>

Feb 16, 2009

I don’t know why but the plugin cuts off content after a link in IE, it works fine in FF.

Feb 16, 2009

*before the link not after

Feb 16, 2009

It works ok in IE, was my fault. But i recommend to change & in & here (already changed): $goto = $toolbar.”?wp-toolbar-tourl=”.$link.”&wp-toolbar-fromurl=”.$post_url.”&wp-toolbar-fromtitle=”.addslashes($post_title).”&wp-toolbar-blogurl=”.$blog_url.”&wp-toolbar-blogtitle=”.addslashes($blog_title);

Feb 16, 2009

Hello again! I didnt upgraded to version 2.0 yet. Maybe tomorrow @ work ;P One more sugestion: Instead of only giving users the choice of social networks to be displayed in the toolbar, give them a option to upload social network icons and chose the URL format, so they can add MORE social networks, especially if they live a country with several small social networks heheheheheh!

First and foremost, let me say his is a great plugin with a huge potential: catching readers “on the go” is an excellent idea, far less obtrusive than greeting modules or such. I love the concept.

The exceution, however, has me surprised. Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why the plugin rewrites the actual links (the href in its first incarnation, now the onClick handler) instead of setting a mod_rewrite() rule? This would seem to be far less likely to clash with elements already in the links (you could still use the JS handlers as a fallback where mod_rewrite is not supported, though this seem sto be less and less frequent these days) and also have less impact on page loading times, as the Apache handler would only kick in when the link is actually called? Just wondering .

Feb 16, 2009

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your great feedback and suggestion.

I have added this in the wishlist for the next release, however I would still continue with support of tampering onclick event. Mainly because:

1. As I can see from people mailing me or commenting here, most of them are on shared/freehost where they really don’t have the freedom to do so.

2. For instance, we have 2-3 commentors who can’t move to PHP5 from PHP4.

So great input, will probably put an option in admin panel of wordpress toolbar, which will allow you to choose the option you want to move ahead with. (Apache Rewrite or Javascript Enabled)

Regards,

Abhinav

Feb 16, 2009

Also it just came to my mind, for blog owners who sell links and don’t want to put those sold links under the toolbar, setting up an apache rewrite rule can be a pain in the ass. Relatively specifying the domain names they want to skip in the admin panel might be more easy.

Any suggestions?

Feb 16, 2009

Martin

Abhi, I agree offering both options would probably be best: mod_rewrite for those who can use it (which would avoid all link tampering incompatibilities), basically being set and forget where it is supported and the JS onClick mechanism (with all warts) where it is not.

The exceptions to mod_rewrite rules could be derived from the same list in the admin panel the JS rules use. I can’t suggest code, not being WP / PHP savvy enough for it, but I know this is possible, and would point you to John Godley’s stellar <a href=”http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/”>Redirection</a> plugin, which manages to configure mod_rewrite through the WP admin panel. So, by the way, does WP itself, as it uses mod_rewrite to allow for fancy permalinks. As to setting up domain names and hiding the complexities from the user, that could be easily achieved through mod_rewrite’s regex support: basically, let the user input a domain, and sanitize and wrap it up in rewrite rule behind the scene .

Feb 16, 2009

Cool enough, you have just put up some hard task for me But ofcourse achievable and quite doable. Marked on the next release list

Feb 16, 2009

Martin

Too cool . I can’t wait to see the result!

Hey thr,
thanks for spaming me with that email message.

Feb 17, 2009

@Mihai: I think you talk about the subscription to this topic, well, just unsubscribe…

Feb 17, 2009

Plugin Update:

Finally nailed down the problem Romeo was having. Basically plugin had wp_options table name hard coded in toolbar.php , hence causing problem for those user who have changed the prefix of their tables for security reasons.

I have checkedin the changes i.e. replaced wp_options with {$wpdb->options} and hence will be fine now. You may download the latest 2.0 which will reflect the changes.

Thanks to zteo who blogged about this issue.

Feb 19, 2009

@PartzPartzescu I’m not talking about subscribption to this post. I subscribed to it to receive updates when new comments are posted. But the author decided to send me another spammy email to let me know he released version 2.0
I didn’t request such am email and was clearly automated.
starting with “Hey Thr” and sent from author’s email with To: header set to the same address ( not mine )

Feb 19, 2009

sorry for the bold on the previous comment. The editor added it when I copied the username

Feb 19, 2009

version 2.0 is cool because of the javascript but I have 1-2 problems with it.
1) when I click wordpress toolbar in settings a blank page comes up, no configuration available
2) is it possible to exclude certain links and/or domains from applying the toolbar to them. For example twitter.com which decided to stop working when called from a iframe.

Feb 19, 2009

Here’s one more problem.
Since I installed this toolbar my “visits” number as recorded by wordpress stats plugins have more then doubled.
I really doubt this is only because some users might come back from the toolbar. I’m guessing it’s because the toolbar makes some extra requests to wordpress and they get recorded by the stats plugin.
I hate being lied to by the stats … yeah I know “there are 3 types of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics” but still …

Feb 19, 2009

Hi Mihai,

First thing First, Yes I indeed sent a mail to all commentors here while releasing v2.0. I have a custom plugin for me using which I can do so to notify commentors about any such releases. I do the same for my open sourced JAXL client library too, and never thought it will be a matter of concern, since you are already subscribed to comments here. Anyways I will take a few lessons from here.

Secondly, You said you see a blank page?? Didn’t get you, Everyone is getting a page titled WordPress Toolbar Administration, where they can configure the toolbar, decide what all links to exclude e.g. twitter. Kindly check the way toolbar plugin 2.0 has to be installed and you will get all the configuration options under settings tab.

Finally, yes this toolbar is made to increase your traffic by bringing back the outgoing reader. This toolbar doesn’t make any call itself to the wordpress servers to increase your stats. E.g when a reader is on the toolbar.php page, it is not counted as your blog visit, only when he comes back to your post, it is counted as an additional visit.

So there is no lie, damn lie stats here

Feb 19, 2009

1) rule #1 of automated mailings :
“never send me anything I haven’t subscribed to receive” or else it’s spam, don’t care what the law says that you can send and allow opt out (btw you didn’t even had that in your email ) and other bullshit like that . If i didn’t specifically requested it and it’s automatic/non personal then it’s spam. I’m sure there are others that feel the same way even though they didn’t express their opinion.

2 ) I installed 2.0 by upgrading from 1.1 automatically through wp admin . The upgrade seemed to work fine ( no errors ) . Then I even removed the old plugin and installed the new one.
But then I found this in the logs:
PHP Fatal error: Class ‘DirectoryIterator’ not found in public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/wp-toolbar.php on line 97

3) I would like to know that my visits counter doubled over night but that’s just not the reason. I’m also using google analytics on the same blog ( yeah I’m a stats addict ) and they show me the same numbers but with google analytics I was able to actually look at the exact pages where the visits occurred and I see a huge “long tail” filled with links like this :
/outgoing/ff.im/Krkk or /outgoing/blog.makezine.com and any other link my visitors clicked. Now those are clearly pages generated by the toolbar and if the google analytics plugin recorded them I bet the wp stats plugin records them too but they are not really visits.

Feb 19, 2009

Hi Mihai,

1) I won’t comment, let leave it over here

2) I specifically mentioned how to upgrade to 2.x version from 1.x I don’t gaurantee fine working of plugin if you are not following the install guidelines. I had specifically mentioned not to upgrade using wp-admin, but once you are on 2.x, upgrading from wp-admin will work fine.

3) /outgoing/ff.im/Krkk or /outgoing/blog.makezine.com are not generated by wordpress toolbar plugin. A recorded page by google analytics will look like this : http://yourblog.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php?….. and not the one you gave. BTW I don’t see any sudden doubling of my blog visitors, and not sure whats the issue with your blog is. May be try installing the way described above and it might help.

All the best.

rman

Hello, the 1x version works fine for me, but when i installed the new version 2 nothing is working.
I did all the steps that you said in the read me file.

Feb 20, 2009

First doubt is: do you have google analytics plugin installed? If yes that currently wordpress toolbar is having compatibility issues with it, and will be solved in one of the upcoming releases.

Second, can you send me one post of yours where you have an external link. I tried 3-4 pages on your site but couldn’t find a post linking to an external site. Kindly comment one or mail me one so that i can confirm on the issue.

Regards,

Abhinav

Feb 20, 2009

rman

thanks for your fast reply!
In my sidebar in any post i have a lot of external links.

Yes i have google analytics like all sites i think!
check this page, external links at the end of the sidebar
http://www.apn.gr/?p=5756

Feb 20, 2009

Hey rman,

You can have google analytics for your website, but wordpress toolbar is not compatible with google analytics plugin which basically inserts an onclick=”" event for all outgoing links. Do you have google analytics plugin installed?

Further I saw the link, and couldn’t find any outgoing link from within the post. WordPress toolbar currently doesn’t apply toolbar for links in the sidebar. It applies toolbar only on the outgoing links in the main post.

Feb 20, 2009

rman

I don’t have the analytics plugin, just the code in the footer.
Check at the comments , the gravatar link

What about the adsense ads? When someone click on them the toolbar works? and if works its ok with the google tos?

Feb 20, 2009

rman

http://www.apn.gr/?p=5909
in this post, i click some external links and works ok!
I think it works in the main post only.
You have right.

Feb 20, 2009

Good, if you don’t have analytics plugin it will work without fail. However it don’t work for sidebars, comments or any other link anywhere. Currenlty it is only configured for outgoing links in your posts only. For example see the http://yahoo.com link in my post above. It will work there but not for the yahoo link in this comment.

This plugin is still not in a fully matured state and it will have all configurable options in upcoming releases.

Feb 20, 2009

rman

thanks a lot!

Garvin

I’m very interested in using this plugin, but unfortunately am having a bit of an issue right from the get go and am looking for suggestions of getting past this. I just installed and activated version 2.0, and when I go into the settings page, I get the following error, which means I’m not even able to test it:

“Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: directoryiterator in /homepages/36/d105944992/htdocs/{site-name}/wp/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/wp-toolbar.php on line 97″

Feb 20, 2009

Garvin

Ah, sorry – duplicate post. I guess I didn’t read all of the comments as I should have. I’ll look into upgrading to PHP5. Thanks.

Feb 21, 2009

Directory iterator class was only introduced in PHP5. It’s always good if you can upgrade to PHP5, else next release will be PHP4 compatible if you can wait till then

Hi guyz! it’s a good plugin, but i’m having some troubles, when I click on the “external link” it shows a blank page.
You can try to this page http://googlehackworld.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php
it doesn’t show anything…
Sorry for my bad english but i’m italian…

Feb 22, 2009

Well you have it all right dude, it works fine. I went to your website and clicked the dot.tk link in one of the post and I landed up here: http://googlehackworld.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php?wp-toolbar-tourl=http://www.dot.tk&wp-toolbar-fromurl=http://googlehackworld.com/?p=751&wp-toolbar-fromtitle=Domini%20di%20secondo%20livello%20gratis!&wp-toolbar-blogurl=http://googlehackworld.com&wp-toolbar-blogtitle=Google%20Hack%20World

And thats the desired result of the plugin

Feb 24, 2009

Hello again… Just one more request: when I open a link in a new tab (or click on the link with the middle button of my mouse), the link open without the toolbar. Is there a way to fix it?

Thanx

[]s

Terramel

Feb 24, 2009

Hello Terramel,

Well the 2.x version of toolbar is totally dependent upon onclick event. So if user right clicks and select open in a new tab, toolbar will not be active.

User needs to click the link for activating the toolbar. BTW have you upgraded to version 2.x ?

Regards,

Abhinav

Feb 27, 2009

Admin: Yes! I’m using version 2.x. It would be cool an option to choose between normal links or on click action in a new version

Thanx

Mar 1, 2009

Probably you didn’t read the previous comments. The plugin currently requires PHP v5 to run successfully. You seem to have PHP v4.

If possible kindly upgrade to PHP5 which is always better, else wait till the next release which will solve this problem for you and others.

Regards,

I read through them and couldn’t find it, looking back over it all I found it easily..
Sorry about that but thank you for the quick response!

I actually cannot upgrade to PHP5 since I am with Yahoo! but I look forward to your next release!

I installed the plugin today and configured it. Nothing happens different than before when I click on external links. I do have a lot of stuff in my .htaccess. Maybe that is causing the problem. Any ideas?

Hi Abhi, thanks for awsome plugin…
i tried to install your toolbar v2 plug-in but nothing is working.. may be because of Google Analytics installed on it.

can you guide me.. how do i activate with google analytics ?

Apr 1, 2009

Hi Neepra,

In it’s current version, it is not possible to run wordpress toolbar plugin with google analytics plugin. I am trying to get in touch with google analytics plugin maker, so that they can update their plugin so that it can be worked with other such plugins too.

Anyways the solution for now is, you can deactivate your google analytics plugin and directly put your google analytics code in your footer. This was you will still be gathering your site analytics and also have wordpress toolbar installed.

Lemme know if i can be of any other help.

Hi Neepra,

Actually you got it all wrong. The plugin will insert toolbar for all outgoing links in your posts. But not elsewhere in its current karma.

Probably in future releases I will include options to enable toolbar for all other places.

Gossip Gamers

I’m having an issue with outgoing links to a forum, I can tell its not a direct problem with the plugin but partially with the forum itself generating a dynamic link to track referrals. Here’s what I mean.

The proper url its supposed to go to is http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1037737

Let me know if there’s a quick fix for this.

Apr 6, 2009

Hi,

I just checked the url and seems like its a bug in plugin right now

Actually the thing is the target url http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1037737 has an ampersend sign in the middle which is not allowing plugin to work efficiently.

I have noted this down and will be fixed with next release. However plugin should work for all other url’s

Apr 6, 2009

Thanks man, you’re just freaking awesome! Another suggestion, not sure if its been pointed out but perhaps creating a more viable way for the reader to go back to the original site or page.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

I am currently not at my workplace, so I am not sure why is it happening for you, but I guess you have removed your blog domain name from “Exclude domains” section in the admin panel. Can you try putting atleast one domain name in that section, in case there is nothing in that box.

@Preben. J

If you are a wp developer, you can try hacking the plugin for sidebar links. Shouldn’t be a problem. Otherwise gimme a week or so and I will try to put in all the requested hacks above.

Hey. Thanks for commenting at my blog http://www.paulpetch.com I’ll add this plugin to my site over the weekend and get back to you with some feedback. It looks TASTY! Cheers.

@All

Anyone ready to contribute and help in plugin translation. Any language which you think this plugin should have support for will do.

I am planning a new release in coming weekend and hopefully you will see all the fixes requested above and through emails.

If we can have a few translations by then, we can wrap them up for the coming release. Your name and link to ur blog/twitter goes with the plugin release. Will be displayed on the admin panel.

Hey abhi. not working for me, if I move to yahoo from here.

Hey, I love this thing. Could you make it act on title links and “Recents” links as well?

@Aery
As i wrote in my previous post, I am modifying the way this plugin works. Functionality wise will be same, but should support a larger versions of wordpress installations.

Dec 7, 2009

Keep an eye. All customization is coming soon. I am onto it

Dec 8, 2009

Working now. (In IE7)

Abhi, thanks for quick reply. And can you please remove “get this plugin” botton. It will annoy most of the webmasters and general users, that have no idea what plugin means.

Dec 8, 2009

If you are using the latest version, there is an option in admin panel which allows you to remove any of the asset on toolbar.

See admin page for more details.

Dec 8, 2009

Thanks abhi for quick response.

I will give it a try in coming weekend.

And, if I am not wrong, you are from Banglore.

(And I can translate it in hindi, if you want. Though there is limited use for hindi plugin, considering few popular hindi blogs.)

Dec 8, 2009

Yup why not. If you can we can go ahead with that. Do look at the standard methods for translation in case you are not aware of them (on wp blog).

Alrite, will study the translation standards this weekend and revert back to you in few days.

Hi Abhinav,

Great plug-in – very useful. I was wondering if there is a way to include the blog title in the tool bar? On my site I have link to Ditka’s Chicago, and that happens to be the title of my post. Consequently it makes the toolbar look like it is part of the Ditka’s Chicago site, and not Big Beef and Beer.

Warm Regards,
Greg

Dec 21, 2009

Thank you so much for the wonderful plug-in. It works great.

Hi, great plugin but it doesn’t work for me!
I use wordpress 2.9 with toolbar version 2.1.1 and I followed exactly the installation guidelines.
From the admin panel it looks like to be everything ok but when I activate the plugin nothing happens.
Thanks in advance.

Memchat Blog Pots isnt working for weeks. First the page loads and then a “0″ appears. Thats it!

Cant read your answer there

Jan 7, 2010

Hi Andy,

Didn’t get your comment on memchat blog, and also where do u see “0″? Can you kindly elaborate.

Jan 7, 2010

Hi Nicola,

Well there has been some compatibility issues. For e.g. if you have google analytics plugin installed too, it conflicts with wordpress toolbar and hence doesn’t work.

I am moving to javascript based solutions so that it always work, no matter what other plugin you have.

I have the modified version currently installed on my blog. Using firebug you can see now wordpress toolbar no longer alter your anchor tag. Also next version will allow you to enable toolbar on various sections of your blog including comments and sidebars.

What kind of assistance are you looking for Greg? I have done a few customization for quite a few websites like adding blog logo, adding “i like” functionality on the toolbar etc. If you have a requirement as specific as this, you may probably want to go for a custom toolbar skin.

From version 2.1 toolbar allow you to have your own custom plugin if you can develop one. Checkout 2.1 release blog for more details.

Andy

Is this Link working on your site?

Please load page completely.

Jan 7, 2010

Hey andy thanks for bringing that to my notice. I didn’t knew this and don’t understand still how is it happening for that particular blog post.

Since how many days are you noticing this. Seems like some javascript is redirecting the page or probably some other mystery. On to it, thanks again.

Jan 7, 2010

Andy

Hehe ^^
Maybe two weaks…

Jan 7, 2010

Alright there is a javascript call which i guess google ad is making. And that is screwing up the page load, what the hell.

Jan 7, 2010

Andy

It wants to load something form gravatar.com but nothing happens. Maybe a clue?

Jan 7, 2010

Hi Andy,

Well that was a script attack on memchat. Someone got away with script tags and that screwed up the page.

Fixed now

Jan 7, 2010

Andy

Oh, so I shouldnt use the script, ha? ^^
There is one question open at memchat. Thx.

Jan 7, 2010

Yeah this all was never taken care of :9 (My laziness shows). Anyways since data is never stored in databases but infact caches, it never harms any service. Though this kind of script screwed up the page

Nicola

I tried to disable every plugins I installed until come back to the default pure installation, but it still doesn’t work.
I have no toolbar’s code on my local page since I think it is disabled due to some strange resons.
I really don’t know how to debug the problem!
Anyhow I’m not in a hurry, so I could wait for the next release if you think it will solve my problems.
Alternatively I could try to solve it myself if you give me some good tips.
Thanks again.

Pablo PARRADO

I can’t wait for a new release 2.9 compatible with javascript!

please keep us posted in progress!

thanks and kudos!

Hello,

I have a plugin that uses this to make a slider drop down and expose content.

javascript:void(null);

Is there a way to ignore these?

I tried adding that in my ignore list with other domains separated by a comma but it didnt work.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Richard

Feb 18, 2010

Working on it, lemme see. If it’s a definite bug will release a minor version.

Feb 18, 2010

Richard Wing

Thanks for your quick response. You can see the only post I have on my site I listed with this comment. I will be removing that blog soon and moving it someplace else after I have tested the plugins I am looking to use.

Thanks again. I hope you are able to create a fix for this so I can use the wp toolbar. I love it.

Thanks,
Richard

Mandeep SIngh

First of all awesome plugin by review it on other sites but This plugin not working on my site. I dunno why? I installed correctly then went to options but nothing seems to work all out links are same as they were. No tool bar shown on other site. What can this cause?

Feb 20, 2010

Mandeep SIngh

please visit this page on click on download toolbar is not coming?

Feb 20, 2010

Hi Mandeep,

I think it’s a classic case of cross plugin compatibility. I can see a lot of other js loaded on your blog page (e.g. external tracking) which also try to modify onclick action.

Kindly try to deactivate those plugins and see if it works.

Feb 22, 2010

This isn’t working on my site.

http://xcannabis.com

It’s currently activated. Is it something to do with my theme?

Feb 22, 2010

Can you provide me link to a blog post on your website where you have a link in your blog content. The toolbar is enabled for all outgoing links by default. I can see necessary scripts etc being loaded.

Feb 22, 2010

Seems like it is working fine. Clicking on “Emerald Sun Inc” in one of your post takes me to the toolbar enabled page here http://bit.ly/ajop62

Feb 22, 2010

I disabled all plugins, then I re-enabled only the wordpress toolbar.
That didn’t help either.

Feb 22, 2010

Thats strange, I’ve tried this on two different computers, but Im not getting the new window.

Feb 22, 2010

I see now. It doesn’t work on my home page, but it does work on child pages.

Is there a way to get it to work on my home page?

Feb 22, 2010

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/366816?replies=1

haha, very true. It works for all blog posts and pages. Yes it can be enabled for the home page too.

Clearner way will be to add options in admin panel for the same. Shall do same n release pkg.

Feb 24, 2010

Mandeep SIngh

I have Google analytical activated do this can cause Problem? If yes then i will wait your future release for this awesome plugin?

Hey abhi Apart from this could u please this

I have some problem may you solve this or Make a new plugin

Feb 26, 2010

Dustin Goerndt

Hey Abhi! Thanks for sharing your work with us! I really like this plugin and I was thinking about some additional options that might help get it more users. What if I had a post with a podcast in it or a song I’d just written; Maybe I’m journalist and you’re listening to my report and want to check the footnotes on my research. What if the podcast would continue to play in the toolbar while you were checking my additional photos on flickr. Is it possible?

Mar 14, 2010

Hi Dustin,

Surely with more user base, I am sure there will be a lot of support needed for the plugin.

I have added your requirement in TO-DO list and will get back to you in detail when I start working on it.

Thanks,
- Abhi

Hi Abhinav..

Hi!

I was messing around the with style.css file, making the tool bar bigger, and got the look I was seeking. My only problem is the social media icons are no way up to the top, like the padding is “0″. Where in the CSS can middle-align them to line up next to the comment back button?

Thanks~!

This toolbar seems absolutely PERFECT for my website, as I have an aggregation/popurls theme at PopWP.com – but for the life of me I can’t get the toolbar to pop up.

Any ideas, if you have time?

Thanks so much!

Sep 27, 2010

Hi Thomas,

Sorry abt the late reply (on vacation nowadays).

Well this plugin suffers from cross plugin compatibilities which i intend to solve in future release. Google analytics is one common plugin which causes this issue. Also can you enable the plugin and send me the link so that i can cross verify from here.

Is there a 3.0 plugin available yet? I have installed the lastest and greatest WP and I have not installed this plugin as of yet, but what it does is something that I would like to see on the site. So any updates on this would be appreciated.

Feb 7, 2011

Hi Glenn,

I think plugin should be usable on 3.0 versions as it is. I am using it for my blog itself which is currently on 3.0.4 wp version.

Mar 1, 2011

Dan

cool toolbar. Is there a 3.1 plugin available? I can’t get it to work so far. It’s a great concept and I hope to get it working for a new site I am building.

Thanks,

Mar 1, 2011

Dan

Abhinav, I just tested on another instance running 3.0.4, and the toolbar works perfectly. If you update it for 3.1, that would be great, thanks!

Hi, great plugin, I love the idea of getting people back to my blog. Bad thing is it stopped working. I don’t know the reason, it would be very nice of you to help me. Thanks in advance!

Sep 5, 2011

Darth

First, I’m sorry, but I speak very little English.

Then, before you ask a question, I wanted to congratulate you on your very useful plug-in.

My question:

Is it possible to hide the URL that shows the location of the plug-in when you click on a link? And to have something other than: … / wp-content / plugins / wordpress-toolbar / toolbar.php? …

For I think this is a weak point for security blog. In addition, it created some problems if one wishes to remain anonymous on the plug-ins that are used.

Again sorry for the mistakes I certainly do so by writing in your beautiful language.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
