Support thread: Social Bookmarking/Social Shopping

[jbrit]

I'm trying to get the AddThis analytics working, the FAQ says to look for the pub= part of the code but I'm not seeing that in the button code that I generate, I see this with xxxxxxx being my username:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<a class="addthis_button" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;username=xxxxxxxxx"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xxxxxxxx"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

I modified tpl_social.php to the following but I'm not getting any stats... I also tried it without the v=250& and it still didn't work.

echo '<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;username=xxxxxxxxx;url=

Am I doing it wrong (well, I guess I am as it's not working).....

Hi I am struggling to get this to work. Have installed per instructions without modifying the main page.

When I look at the source for a products pages I get

<!--eof Product description -->

<!-- bof social bookmarking -->
<!-- eof social bookmarking -->


<!--bof Attributes Module -->

Have checked 3 times to make sure all files are there.

My site is http://www.adorablebabycakes.com.au

Have not modified any files except for includes/templates/<your template>/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

Thanks

Brad

Stumpy74 - I had exactly the same problem - check this part of the thread:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=447612

His installation instructions are not correct - you can't just upload the contents to the root of your shop directory.

Wherever he has a folder called /custom/, you have to change that name to the name of your template.

And the define_main_page.php file has to be handled with care - you have to add his stuff to your existing file of the same name.

Please let me know if you need any more help - this was torture until I figured it out.

Hi,

I have the mod installed and it works on all of my products that are type, "Product-General".

However, the products that are of the "Document-Product" type do not display the social bookmarking.

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance...

Hi All & SW Guy,

Firstly, thanks for a great MOD.

Installation went fine and all is working.

However, I was wondering if Addthis can be edited to NOT load a new webpage. Rather it loads like jmarion user's site: www.yourengravingsolution.com

with a popup and limited amount of networks... then you click more for further perhaps less popular social sites.

Any advice appreciated.

Anyone have solution to last question???

You mean like in my social media marking mod I am working on. You can check out the addthis code on my website below the add product button:

example:
https://www.gotleather.com/children/...andals/fuschia

Here's the link to the forum post I started for the mod I am working on:

Hi,

After downloading and reading the Readme file i found this problem:

It says:

"Affected Files:
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/product_info.css
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php"

I don't have such files, also the Template_default doesn't have it.
Do i have to create them?

Thanks

[riky]

I found the solution:

-I created the file css and add it to my personal template folder
-I add the code to the file php of the template_default folder

Hope that will be helpful for someone.
