Before changing your template, don’t forget to backup your template and your widgets!
1. First of course go to your template editor and tick the ‘Expand Widget Template’.
2. Put this code before </head>
<script src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script type='text/javascript'>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
// xhtml 1.0 strict way of using target _blank
jQuery('.sexy-bookmarks a.external').attr("target", "_blank");
// this block sets the auto vertical expand when there are more than
// one row of bookmarks.
var sexyBaseHeight=jQuery('.sexy-bookmarks').height();
var sexyFullHeight=jQuery('.sexy-bookmarks ul.socials').height();
if (sexyFullHeight>sexyBaseHeight) {
jQuery('.sexy-bookmarks-expand').hover(
function() {
jQuery(this).animate({
height: sexyFullHeight+'px'
}, {duration: 400, queue: false});
},
function() {
jQuery(this).animate({
height: sexyBaseHeight+'px'
}, {duration: 400, queue: false});
}
);
}
// autocentering
if (jQuery('.sexy-bookmarks-center')) {
var sexyFullWidth=jQuery('.sexy-bookmarks').width();
var sexyBookmarkWidth=jQuery('.sexy-bookmarks:first ul.socials li').width();
var sexyBookmarkCount=jQuery('.sexy-bookmarks:first ul.socials li').length;
var numPerRow=Math.floor(sexyFullWidth/sexyBookmarkWidth);
var sexyRowWidth=Math.min(numPerRow, sexyBookmarkCount)*sexyBookmarkWidth;
var sexyLeftMargin=(sexyFullWidth-sexyRowWidth)/2;
jQuery('.sexy-bookmarks-center').css('margin-left', sexyLeftMargin+'px');
}
});
</script>
