SS Bookmarks

SS (Single-Script) Bookmarks is a single, entirely self-contained PHP script for managing your bookmarks/links. It is intended for light-weight (< 500 links) and personal use only (no multi-user support). It makes a rather good widget for desktop homepage portals.

Features

• Single, self-contained script. No need for a SQL database or external data files (all data is stored inside the script itself!).
• Easily deployed, easily modified (simple markup and CSS).
• Doesn't require javascript (you can switch it off in the config).
• Should work in practically any browser.
• Should be W3 standards compliant - I'll check it every so often :)

Working On...

• Editing bookmarks. Currently you can only add/delete bookmarks (not a huge traversty). I'm thinking about the best way to implement editing in the UI.
• Smartphone CSS support (iPhone/Android/Pre/WinMo).
• Fixing bugs.
• Improving code efficiency.
• Improving UI/usability.
• Improving this document.

Installation

Simply upload the script to your webspace and ensure it has permissions to write to itself (this usually involves setting its CHMOD to 755/777 on linux-based systems). Next, take a look at the configuration section at the top of the script for further options. The defaults should work out-of-box though.

Warning! Security is not considered by this script. If you don't want others seeing / changing your bookmarks, make sure you block off access to the script (e.g. using .htaccess auth when under Apache). I take no responsibility etc.

Oh and PHP 4 or above required.

History

Version 0.3, 01/06/2010

• Added "viewport" meta data to the script with configurable width for better scaled display on iPhone/iPodTouch/iPad.

Version 0.2, 13/01/2010

• Re-labeled "Delete" links to a simple "-" (dash) and added some CSS to make them appear button-like.
• Natural sorting of links. Before, labels beginning with lowercase characters were listed after all uppercase. Now they mix in naturally for a natural alphabetic ordering.
