No it won't work once per thread because Pinterest is designed for sharing media and that is usually specific to posts.

If you wanted to show it only on the first post though you could edit the "Pin button in Posts" plugin and find the code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and change it to:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

It just seems like making a call x number of threads to pinterest would add a lot of calls to every thread page load.

Thanks Joe!

Actually the javascript loads only once per page. The "calls to pinterest" are just images and once an image is downloaded once the browser doesn't re-download it again anyway. They design it so you can use multiple buttons on one page.

any easy way to move the button down to beside the quote / multiquote links?

Right, I meant the call to get the pin count, which isn't a very large file anyway (0.4kb)

Any idea on how to move the button up next to the post title?

[tpearl5]

fyi, you should consider moving the default location anyway since quotes can hide it. For example:

nevermind, I moved it by adding position:relative; top:-35px; to the div to make it:

<div style="position:relative; top:-35px; float: {vb:raw boppin.lorr}; padding-{vb:raw boppin.rorl}: 2px;">"

That is a cool location, thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry I don't have any better ideas on where to position the button- playing with CSS frustrates me.

Hopefully more people will be kind enough to release the edits they made to better position the button like tpearl5 did.

I'm using the VB4 default built in position myself until I can find something better.

is there a hook that can be used to display it in the postbit footer?

I don't know what you mean by a postbit footer? There is where the edit/reply/quote buttons are- that is called posbit_controls. And yes there is a template hook there (I have an option to use it in the VB3 version) but you will see if you use it for VB4 the button will be terribly out of place. This is because VB4 requires some sort of additional css to make the button fit properly into the postbit controls area and I don't like messing with CSS.

If you manually edit the postbit or postbit_legacy template you can put the template hook *anywhere* you want.

postbit controls - that's the one.

sooo.... how to manually edit the postbit template to put the hook there? (yes, i am an idiot)

[BirdOPrey5]

Go to Admin CP - > Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [Choose your style] -> Choose "Edit Templates" from the drop down menu -> Postbit Templates (double click to expand this group.)

Now find either [b]postbit[/B ]or postbit_legacy depending on the one you use and double click on it to open it in the template editor.


Paste in this code wherever you want the Pinterest button to appear:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

finally, save the template...

Now check how it looks. It will probably need some adjusting. You will also need to edit the template postbit_pinterest_vb4 to make additional adjustments as needed.

Sorry but that is as much detail as I'm willing to go into making these edits. Quite frankly I don't suggest people try these if they don't already know what they are doing.

so I can't use this hook or code for the album by manual putting it in....it won't work?
