Numinix Pinterest Add On Support Thread

[DarkAngel]

I too would like a slightly larger image so it does not look so tiny under my FB button but what I really would like this to do is like the pinit button that Pinterest provides...when clicked on to not only include the name and price of the product but to also include the description that is on the page.

Right now I need to copy paste it after removeing the item you see in the image.

Is it possible to get the description added too the pinit upload?

Issue: The Pinterest url that takes the user back to the originating website isn't built correctly

I installed this plug-in with no problem. When I tested it, it pinned products correctly to Pinterest. What it doesn't do though is take me back to the product in my store when I click on the product in the Pinterest board. It takes me back to my store but gives me the message that the product can't be found.

Further investigation on the url showed that the url built to take the user back to the product in my store isn't built correctly. Whenever there is a "&" in the url, the code concatenates "amp;" after the "&". Can someone point me in the direction of where in the plug-in/ZC code I should look to try to fix this?

Versions I'm running:
Zen Cart Version: 1.5.1 (installed 11/15/2013)
Zen Lightbox 1.6.4.b (installed 12/5/2013)
Image Handler4 4.3.2 (installed 12/11/2013)
Pinterest2 (installed 12/29/2013)

I had to uninstall this one in my 1.3.9h store totally and just use the pinterset button I got for the browser, from pinterest.

I removed it because it totally stopped working and would not even show up on the browser product page at all eventually. I really liked having this button and it did work properly until it vanished.

any ideas?

I'm removing this plug-in as well.

I've got this working on my site just fine. On my site however, I have a smaller image on the product page and a larger image that appears when the smaller image is clicked. The image found when using the pin button is always the small image, whereas I would prefer the larger image to be used.

Is there a way to tell this to use the larger image instead?

[soyofthenorth]

I'm still not having any luck getting this to recognise the larger images and use those instead. All my attempts so far have left no image being able to be found at all.

I installed this for a client but the return url from Pinterest was not working. It was encoded wrong. Others have posted with the same problem.

Here is the fix. Edit tpl_modules_pin_it_button.php

Replace the following starting at line 27:

<div id="pinitButton" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: top;">
<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=<?php echo urlencode($piniturl); ?>&description=<?php echo urlencode($pinit_name); ?>&media=<?php echo urlencode($pinit_image); ?>" id="PinItButton" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="<?php echo PINTEREST_BUTTON_COUNT; ?>">Pin It</a>


with this:

<?php
$piniturl = urlencode($piniturl);
$piniturl = str_replace('amp%3B', '', $piniturl);
?>
<div id="pinitButton" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: top;">
<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=<?php echo $piniturl; ?>&description=<?php echo urlencode($pinit_name); ?>&media=<?php echo urlencode($pinit_image); ?>" id="PinItButton" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="<?php echo PINTEREST_BUTTON_COUNT; ?>">Pin It</a>

You do have some control on what text is placed in the "description" field box of the pin. Simply setup the "meta tags" for your products. This is done by editing the meta tag action for the product via admin->categories/products.
