Hi

I'm using AddThis for social bookmarking on my client's blog. http://www.gilliangladrag.co.uk/blog/latest.html
I'm now trying to add a 'Pin It' button to my AddThis toolbar. The instructions from AddThis are pretty straight forward. http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381237-third-party-buttons#pinterest-pinit

I've customised the default theme already. So all I need to do now is include the relevant code in the addthis.button.style1.php file.

The part I'm struggling with is the attributes required by Pinterest. I need to specify the image url for the image I want pinned. The page url and a description are optional. Where can I find these values?

Also how can I include the AddThis bookmarks on the teaser view(eg. Latest Entries) of the blog posts?


Thanks
Lenny
Is it possible to add text in Pins?

Hello matore,

Currently, Easyblog use the blog title as description in Pinterest: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-23_0033.png . But if you want it to get from the post content, you can replace the attached file in: ../components/com_easyblog/helpers/pinterest.php

Dear Nik,

Hello,

I'm sorry, current you can only choose either one; title or content.
