Pinterest and Twitter Follow Button Problems

Hello, I am not all that experienced with Freeway and I seem to be having a lot of issues getting the Pinterest Action to work as well as the Twitter Follow Button Action. I’m guessing it has got to be a javascript conflict of some sort but I wouldn’t even know hot to tell that on Freeway. I am not super experienced in that department either but trying to learn. I have read all over the forums but nothing I try helps. When I use the Pinterest Button downloaded from Actionsforge.com, it inserts the action button ok but when you press the button, nothing happens. There is also no information in the Actions Palette about the Pinterest Action. I also tried to insert my own Pinterest widget from their website but I’m afraid I don’t exactly know where to even insert that. I like the way the button looks better from the Pinterest website. When I insert the button from their code it just shows up as a question mark on the live page and it does nothing when you click it.

As for the Twitter follow button, that seems to only show up some of the time. I’m not exactly sure what is going on there. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it. I tried installing the NoConflict Action as well as the Protaculous2 Action. I wasn’t even too sure how to work the Protaculous2 Action or if it was even relevant to my situation.

Thank you in advance for your time.

I don’t see the Pinterest button anywhere. Can you post a link to a page that attempts to use it? You shouldn’t need NoConflict unless you have manually added some jQuery code anywhere.

Sorry about that. I had forgotten I took it down. It’s back up. Thanks.

Where? Not on the home page, as far as I can see.

hhhmmm…I guess this is sort of proving my point. When I look at it in Safari right now, I get a pinterest button to the right of the shopping cart on the home page (top right hand corner) and on the left of the shopping cart should be a follow on Twitter button but it is not showing when I look on Safari.

The Pinterest button is there however there is a Javascript error.

TypeError: ‘undefined’ is not a function (evaluating ‘document.observe’)

Try it on an otherwise blank page - no google analytics or other JS

Here’s your error. Find where you added this line of code:

<meta name="p:domain_verify" content="503f0a079ef5db6b 

edit it so that it reads

That should solve the problem. You opened a tag but never closed it, and that affected everything thereafter. You should also move this out of the Before slot and into the After slot, since it’s illegal to have any meta tag outside of the head.

That is a great help! Thank you! It worked! Unfortunately my Twitter follow button seems to still be having problems. You may not know about that though. When I do a browser preview of my page, it works but when I upload it and actually visit the home page, their is no button appearing.

Thanks again for the Pinterest help!

Interesting. I’ve tested it some more and it does seem to be working. Thank you. Sometimes it disappears from my page randomly. It must have something to do with the cache I guess. Thanks a lot guys. I greatly appreciate it!

I’m curious to know if anyone is still able to see my twitter follow button on my page. I know I can’t see it on Safari and I have emptied my caches. I appreciate the help as always!

Hi Walter

Will the Pinterest Action which dates back to May 2012 still work in the latest edition of FW and Backdraft V2.1 ?

Yes, but do take care that it uses Prototype, so no jQuery on the same page.

Hi Walter

I tried the Pinterest action as advised but it didn’t work alongside my other Facebook - Linked In and Twitter actions probably due to the Juergen issue you referred to.

Is there a way that I could simply add a “Pin It” graphic and code it somehow in order to achieve the same thing ?

Regards
Paul
