Add pin it button to photo of the day only?

Is there a way to target the url of the photo of the day only? Whether you build a button using https://business.pinterest.com/widget-builder/#do_pin_it_button or us a plugin, if you want to predetermine an image to get pinned, you have to provide a url. I’ve tried adding both “#potd” and the whole “[wppa type=”photo” photo=”#potd” size=”600″ align=”center”][/wppa]” shortcode and neither work.

Do not think i skipped this, it takes some time to prepare a usefull reply…

Edit wppa-potd-widget.php.

Find line 71, it reads:

.
			if ($link) $widget_content .= "\n\t".'</a>';
		}
		else {	// No image
			$widget_content .= __a('Photo not found.', 'wppa_theme');
		}

Change to:

.
			if ($link) $widget_content .= "\n\t".'</a>';

	// Pinterest
	$thumb = $image;
	$desc = urlencode(sprintf(__a('See this image on %s'), str_replace('&', __a('and'), get_bloginfo('name')))).': '.urlencode(strip_shortcodes(wppa_strip_tags(wppa_get_photo_desc($thumb['id'])), 'all')).'" ';
	if ( strlen($desc) > 500) $desc = substr($desc, 0, 495).'...';
	$pi = 	'<div style="float:left; padding:2px;" >';
	$pi .= 		'<a title="'.sprintf(__a('Share %s on Pinterest', 'wppa'), esc_attr(__(stripslashes($thumb['name'])))).'" ';
	$pi .= 			'href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url='.urlencode(wppa_convert_to_pretty(str_replace('&', '&', wppa_get_image_page_url_by_id($thumb['id'], $wppa_opt['wppa_share_single_image']))));
	$pi .=			'&media='.urlencode(str_replace('/thumbs/', '/', wppa_get_thumb_url($thumb['id'])));						// Fullsize image
	$pi .=			'&description='.$desc;
	$pi .=			'target="_blank" >';//'class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal" >';
	$pi .=			'<img src="'.wppa_get_imgdir().'pinterest.png" style="height:16px;" alt="Pin it!" />';	//border="0" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="Pin It" />';
	$pi .=		'</a>';
	$pi .=	'</div>';
	$widget_content .= $pi;

		}
		else {	// No image
			$widget_content .= __a('Photo not found.', 'wppa_theme');
		}

Keep this file as it will be overwritten at the next update!!!

Thank you! I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet but will do so soon!

If the icon is too small, you can change style="height:16px;" if you like.
