Yes, my most recent Pinterest integration was painful, but it actually paved the way for a new method of automating Pinterest buttons. At least for me.<\/p>\n
A couple months ago, when grabbing the "Pin it" button code from Pinterest, I was not required to provide the actual image URL. Apparently, this is now required, leading to a huge amount of work on the behalf of the site developer.<\/p>\n
It could be assumed that most sites with images are built with some sort of template, and applying the Pinterest button would be straightforward. But what happens when we don't have a template system, but rather a CMS, where there aren't any hard-and-fast rules about where to expect images.<\/p>\n
Without drifting too much here, I'd like to introduce my new method of applying the Pin it button:<\/p>\n
\t(function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text\/javascript'; ga.async = false; ga.src = '\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();<\/p>\n \t$('img').parent().addClass('pin-it-wrapper'); <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a nifty way to drop a Pin It button "on top of" each image on the site, located in the upper-left corner of the image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, my most recent Pinterest integration was painful, but it actually paved the way for a new method of automating Pinterest buttons.
