"AddThis" share button

[Gothsiren09]

Hi - its me again!!  Sorry!

Can someone tell me in words of ONE syllable where I would install the code for the "share" and "like" buttons for each of the products on my website?  Does it involve FTP (those of you that know me know how much I just LOVE FTP!!  ) or just zen admin?

Thanks

It involves placing a piece of code inside a file so yes it's FTP time again

It depends on where you want the button to display as to which file you change, mine is in the product page itself which means changing tpl_product_info_display.php but you can add it elsewhere as well.

tpl_product_info_display.php can be found in (shop/store folder, not admin) includes -> templates ->your custom folder ->templates

The code is generated on the AddThis site and if you let us know a position I or others here can help you to place it

**groan**  I hate FTP, it confuses me!! 

I was thinking of putting the button at the top of each product page so its easy to see?

This is simple it's just one file but back up everything anyway.

If you want to place the code you generate off the AddThis site between the Product Price and the Product Description download your tpl_product_info_display.php in your custom template -> template folder open it into a text editor and find the following code.

<!--eof free ship icon  -->



 <!--bof Product description -->

Place the generated code between those two, eg:

<!--eof free ship icon  -->

(Add This Code)

 <!--bof Product description -->

If you want it anywhere else, look for the code name for the form i.e. Product Price Block and place the code between an !--eof and a !--bof, (as above). You can try out different places to see what suits your site.

Then upload the saved file to your custom templates -> templates folder

What's confusing you on FTP?

Ooohh all of it!!  I'm just thick really I think.  Its difficult for me to have quiet time to go over and properly take things in cos my house is Bedlam.  I'm better than I was beleive it or not so I'll get there in the end.  I'm also paranoid of breaking something and I dont really get the language a lot of the time.  But as I said, I'll get there eventually after lots of feeling stupid etc and asking questions all over the place

You appear more intelligent that you give yourself credit.

Don't know if it's the correct thing to do but i justwent into my admin and  pasted it into my editable sidebox and that is there for every item but right or wrong it works as it shares the page that showing at the time.
Hope that helps it's just the way i could do it (don't know FTP)

I don't think that sidebox is standard on ZC installs Carisma but if someone has it that's another valid way to add it.

One problem though if you look at retail heatmaps, once people are on a product page, they tend not to look at the other columns/sideboxes, only the product page itself.
