For those who want a bit more background on this problem, please see this post: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?170483-Attribute-Required-for-Text-flag-not-working

hi, thank you for the support page. i am interested in using this plug in but after reading the documentation i am not sure about how to align the css.

the documentation states: Use the selector #pinitButton in your CSS stylesheet to position the button (use !important to override the inline styles).

i am not 100% sure how to do that. let's say i want to align it to the left.

#pinitButton {text-align:left}

would this be correct?

or if anyone has an example of showing the pinterest button underneath the larger image.

i just want to make sure before i actually install it.

i am open to any suggestions on placement.

thanks

#pinitButton {margin-left:5em !important;}

When running the Install sql i get an error at the top saying 'Cannot execute because table admin_pages does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!'

Any clues?

If you're not running 1.5, remove that statement from the SQL.

BTW, this is included in the instructions:

Patch your database by copying and pasting the contents of install.sql in the Admin Panel at Tools->Install SQL Patches. Note that the final line of install.sql is only required for Zen Cart 1.5.0 and above; if you are using Zen Cart 1.3.9, you should delete it.

This is my first time trying to install the addon... I am at step 1 with the SQL patching. I opened the install file, copied the code, and pasted into the SQL box in my admin. I received this error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /zc_admin/sqlpatch.php on this server.

Any idea what this means, and how to fix it? It's odd since I ran an sql code to do the product display columns. So I'm not sure why it won't let me run a code now.

Please can you tell me if it is line 19 that I should delete if using Zencart 1.3.9h? Ive highlighted it in red at the bottom.

Thank you.

that's a comment - you want to delete the line below that line.

Thank you.
Have it running now but it is showing right at bottom of item page. Heres an example. http://towerhousedolls.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=53&products_id=661
Is there any way I can put it up next to the 'Facebook like' button or near to the image?
Thanks for your help.

Would it be possible to use a medium image?

Thanks,
Joe

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?

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.

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?

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.
