Hey Tony,

I’ve since discontinued this extension (just too busy with new projects & work). I had been working with Magnolia to make parts of the extension work, and spoke with them a few days ago discussing that I’ve officially stopped developing this. As such, they have most likely switched over some of the internal stuff we had arranged. If you check out Razvan’s version (link at the top of this post) that should work for you. If you want some of the features I have in his, let him know he’s more than welcome to use the code.

Sorry & hope this helps :)

Hello,
When I try to save a site to Ma.gnolia I get the error
“invalid API key”.
I am not able to find a resolution thru google. Would you be able to help me?

Thank you,

Tony

just wondering if you have any further plans for the extension. i’d love to see:

- support for groups
- integration w/ magnolia db so the tag input works more like the bookmarklets… i.e. tag completion based on tags i’ve used before.

thanks! (and the problem i was having before seems to be gone.)

That is something that has been mentioned before and will be looked into :)

Hi Nathan. I really like the enhancements you made to the extension. I’d like to see a feature where I can choose to post a bookmark directly to a group, as opposed to my own bookmarks. Is that at all possible?

Sweet! Thanks for picking this up Nathan. I’m downloading the plugin right now and can’t wait to give it a shot.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the open source concepts. I’m not a copyright freak, but I’ve read your article and comments and I didn’t found a word about the fact that you made an upgrade to an existing extension – mine :).
About the fact that you “optimized a number of things”, yes it is correct, but that makes it about 10% of the code and functionality.
If you like, we can collaborate on anything you like, but not for this extension (we started with the wrong foot).
Another thing, you wrote “as far as I know, your older extension shouldn’t be able to bookmark due to recent changes in ma.gnolia’s site”; it’s correct, but that’s about my 0.6 version and my current version is 0.7 and uses ma.gnolia.com’s API (it works fine).

Hey Razvan!

For those that are wondering, Razvan is the original creator of the code this extension is based off of, he’s the person I cited earlier on and tried to contact.

Also, it makes me sad to have you say it’s just a copy :( If you take the time to look at it, I’ve actually optimized a number of things, changed much of the formatting, added search, a button that will take users directly to their bookmarks, as well as other planned changed, and as far as I know, your older extension shouldn’t be able to bookmark due to recent changes in ma.gnolia’s site.

Now, assuming that you really are Razvan (since the email you provided doesn’t work) I would love to get in touch and see what can’t be done to improve this extension more! :)
