New types of BookerBoxes have been added. The original BookerBox still exists of course, and we refer to it as type ‘box’. But we have added two new types, Dropdown and Textlinks. Both have the same flexibility of the original BookerBox, but now can fit into more site designs, and fit with the needs you have for adding bookmarking access to your site. You can see them on the Examples page.
In further preparation for the additional features that are going to be added, and because of a conflict that was discovered while laying the foundation for the new features, the backend codebase was retooled fairly extensively.
You still don’t need to do anything. Your BookerBox will run the same, if not faster now. These changes should improve any conflicts with StyleSheets if you had any issues.
You know, to add to your browser favorites. It’s doubtful anyone would ever use it from within the BookerBox, since after all, the person is using their browser… But it felt incomplete without it.
BookerBox now has ‘modes’ though currently there is only 1 mode of value to you, which is ‘box’. Even if you don’t have the mode set in your javascript, the default is ‘box’ anyway so it doesn’t break anything for you. Eventually more modes will be added, which will allow you to select from a whole bunch of different ways of presenting BookerBox to your users.
You set the mode in the javascript block as:
BB_mode = “box”;
There is one other mode currently active, though it really has only a use to us on this site, but regardless, you can use it if you want, though i’m not sure what you would use it for…
BB_mode = “servicelist”;
This will return the full list of services, as their service name, in our system.
In order to prepare for a boatload of new features that are going to be added in the next few weeks, the BookerBox has been converted over to being database driven. Originally it was just hardcoded into a single page of code. This was fast, but not flexible. Because the database is small, there is no really speed change.
What this means to you: NOTHING
you don’t have to change a thing. This has no effect on the client side, and purely a prep for future features 
Stay tuned…
Pseudo classes in CSS were colliding with my CSS. thats now fixed. Also a minor visual tweak was made.
just a reminder to fix the css issue this site has in IE.
BookerBox is a widget which provides 1 click bookmarking to your users. It has many of the most popular bookmarking services, it is always up to date, it’s look is completely customizable, it doesn’t require any programming knowledge to add it to your site, and it’s FREE.
You can see BookerBox in action on the right side of this site. That’s just one example of how BookerBox can look. To see more ways you can customize BookerBox, check out the examples.
Now that you have seen it in action, and are dying for your own BookerBox, you should check out how to use BookerBox. And if your still not convinced, you can read about the many reasons for using BookerBox.
We are going to add a row setting so that you can determine how many rows you want the box to be. So you could display svc=all and rows=2 which would result in 2 rows showing ALL the services. Or set 5 columns and 2 rows which would result in 10 services showing up.
The recent change of making the BookerBox use a style block apparently broke the ability to have multiple BookerBoxes on the same page. Basically every BookerBox on the page would acquire the styling of the LAST BookerBox. This probably wasn’t a problem for anyone at all, except for us, because we have an examples page, which all looked the same. Anyway, it’s now fixed, so if you wanted to put a bunch of BookerBoxes on your page, you can now. (though you are weird…)
