Support thread: Social Bookmarking/Social Shopping

Hi Software Guy,

Thanks a bunch for the reply. I've figured out how to make the SSL thing work. (I'm very new at php so there is still a lot of trial and error with everything. :P)

I just have one other question. Do you know how to make the bookmark function generate the page title along with the website name like it does for the product info pages, but this time for all the other pages on the site? I've been trying different things with your product_info and define_main_page codes, but no luck.

Thank you very much!

You should probably post that question in a more general forum so it will catch the attention of people who don't use this mod.

I love this addon contribution :clap:

Thanks so much.

I do have one question, I have the bookmark addon working on all the products, but I wanted to have it on the home page too.

I tried to follow the directions in the readme file and I copied the file: includes/languages/english/html_includes/customer/define_main_page.php

to the root directory, but nothing shows up on the home page from the addon. I have been trying to work with it to see what I am doing wrong, but to no avail.

I am running the apple zen template, and zen version 1.3.7

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

a) You have "customer" in the path - was this a typo or was this what you did? It should be "custom" where "custom" is the name of your template.

b) When I say "to the root of your shop" I mean copy this file to the same location under the DIR_WS_CATALOG directory in your configure.php. So the path of the file you create would be

DIR_WS_CATALOG/includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom/define_main_page.php

(where "custom" is the name of your template)

a) The word "customer" was a typo...I really had "custom" :oops:

b) Gotcha. Thanks for explaining that to me. It is working now.

For those of you that need more specific directions on how to put the addon on your home page, here they are...

take a copy of your original file

/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php

Copy the CODE out of the file from the ADD ON below

/includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom/define_main_page.php

and paste it into the bottom of your copy of

/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php

then save it on your website under:

/includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom/define_main_page.php

(where "custom" is the name of your template)

:smile:

I'm going to draft you to document my mods from now on. LOL!!

Thanks,
Scott

Sounds good to me, but you should know that I charge by the hour for FF (Frustration Fees!) :yes:

2 liitle questions about this great mod:

1. How to insert the tags "nofollow" for the links generated by the mod?
2. How to include more bookmarking sites than comes by default?

The easiest way to have more sites than the default number is to simply use the AddThis link, which has a zillion services.

Don't worry about nofollow.

Thanks for your quick reply, Scott. Finally, i added several links following the schema than the original mod you write.

I have a problem with Mr. Wong (i don´t know how import the url data to its format). This is the required snippet of Mr. Wong:

<a href="*http://www.mister-wong.es/add_url/*" onClick="location.href="http://www.mister-wong.es/index.php?action=addurl&bm_url="+encodeURIComponent%28location.href%29+"&bm_description="+encodeURIComponent%28document.title%29;return false" title="Agregar esta página a Mister Wong" target="_top"><img src="*[\*http://www.mister-wong.es/img/es/buttons/MrWonglila1.gif\*](http://www.mister-wong.es/img/es/buttons/MrWonglila1.gif)*" alt="Agregar esta página a Mister Wong" border="0" /></a>';

And this is what i made:

echo '<a href="*http://www.mister-wong.es/index.php?action=addurl&bm_url="'.$linkpath.'&bm_description='** . $linktitle . 'rel="nofollow" target="_blank">' . '<img src="bm_images/wongbig01.gif" alt="Agregar esta página a Mister Wong" border="0" /></a>';*

But my line don´t bypasses data to Mr. Wong...

Why you don´t worry about nofllow tag? I finally added it... (i have very poor PR, i don´t want to loose more...)

answers in reverse order:
b) I say "don't worry about nofollow" because these are product pages - even Amazon.com has PR 0 for product pages. The Googlebot knows these are networking sites and that you're not running a link farm.

a) I suggest using the Bookmark button from AddThis which has Mr. Wong built in. It's a huge pain to get the syntax of these things perfect - that's part of the reason I stopped at 4. :)

:D

Thank you four your comments, Scott.

i think too 4 is agood number...

Hi, just wanted to give back a bit to Zen-cart. I Just added the facebook social bookmarking link by adding the following to the tpl_social.php:

    echo '<a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=' . $linkpath . '&title=' . $linktitle . '" target="_blank">' . '<img src="bm_images/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" border="0" hspace="10" />Facebook</a>';
```I am attaching the image I am using.

Thank you very much for this contribution; I like it very much.

Thanks you for your addon ! I like them !

Hi Scott,

I think this is great except I have a big problem for the main page I get

http://fossebridges.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=

and for easy pages I get

http://fossebridges.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=

Am I doing something wrong?

thanks
Chris

Don't know about ez pages; main page requires more work - did you follow the instructions at the bottom of the readme on adding this to the main page?

Scott,

Thanks for the quick reply, I'd screwed it up trying to ezpages to work. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.:bigups:

Now just to get ezpages working with it.

Cheers
Chris

Hi,

Is there a way of telling Wists which image to pick? I had somebody trying to bookmark one of my products and Wists ended picking the "next" button for a thumbnail, then I went myself and did it, and even though I told it to pick the product image, it still picked the "next" image.

Thank you in advance

Please try the addthis button and see if that deals with Wists properly; that will give me some input on where to start fixing this. Wists may have changed their expected input since I first did this.

Thanks,
Scott

how do one add the social bookmark to the footer header or in a sidebox.
