You are a star!! That works perfectly now, thank you!

[Rich]

Phew (because I was out of ideas if this didn't work!).

[icegems]

You love a challenge, go on admit it! Now go out and enjoy the rest of the bank holiday!

[Deefer]

Working now.... thanks Rich

Rich can I ask you something please. I am looking at the Pinterest 'Pin It Button for Web Sites' page http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/ and it says to put a button on a page you enter the url, image and description. What a faff. I was hoping to add a generic button to all pages, not a button made especially for a specific page... or I will be here all day. Did you leave those 3 fields blank and just use the basic button code?

Hi Deefer - Just enable the Pinterest Pin It button on Configuration > Site > Product down where the social media tick boxes are.

Our implementation fills in the product URL, the largest default image, and the product title. The button doesn't work properly if the fields are missing.

[Deefer]

Ah sorry.... I didn't explain fully. I meant the code for adding it to the rest of my website... not just the shop.

[greggrant]

If you want to put a generic button on all pages then complete the information on Pinterest (you'll need to enter the URL of the image you want to represent your site) and then copy the code generated by Pinterest. Add this to your header or footer and the Pinterest button will show on all pages.

[Deefer]

Thanks Greg... but that is what I don't understand. If I want the button for every page of my non-shop website I don't want to specify one url and one image.

Wow, thanks Rich. That's a great Easter gift. Thank you

I am sorry though, I can't seem to get mine to work. No image is shown... just a yellow box. And the pin doesn't work... nothing in Pinterest after I have done my pin. I was able to create a new pinboard though, using it... but the pin wasn't there. Have tried twice.

Hi

I've just enabled the Pinterest button on my site and clicked on it to pin a product, but had the same problem as Deefer had originally ... no pin was added to my board. I know Rich said it was fixed, but am I supposed to do something to fix it ?

[Deefer]

I just tried one on your site for you Sarah and it was working for me.

I just tried one on your site for you Sarah and it was working for me.

So what's happened there then ? I've tried again and it's still not working. I've noticed that above my "pin" button on all of the products on my website, there is a photo of me on my Facebook page and when you click on it - it takes you to my personal FB page and people have started liking my FB page. I don't want all & sundry looking at that ! And where has my FB button gone on my product pages ? Arghhhhhhh - I think the whole thing has got muddled up !

HELP !!!!!

EDIT: Ok - I've managed to get rid of my FB picture, so that's all back to normal now. But I still can't pin anything. I've managed to pin 1 thing, but everything else I try says it's pinning, but then nothing happens and when I go to my pinterest board that I was trying to pin to, it's only showing the 1 item I managed to pin
