[Plugin: Pinterest Lightbox] adding facebook and twitter buttons

I am working on adding other Social Media Icons as well along with a light/dark theme. When you see v1.1 released it will include these changes ??

How long will we have to wait? I’ve been searching for a lightbox plugin with social media buttons for ages now! I appreciate your effort anyways. #impacientme

Ps.: Will you add share- or like buttons or an option to choose?

If you are successful with your plans for version 1.1, it will be an absolute game-changer. Seriously, there are TONS of people looking for this exact functionality, as you probably already know. You could make a small fortune.

I used jsbeautifier.org to de-minimize the JavaScript and added Facebook, Twitter and +1 buttons using iframes as a hack until version 1.1 is released.

@canwild… Care to share your code? This is awesome.

This is just a hack but…

If you have de-minimized the javascript you should see around line #66 a long line of code that starts with “return [Q.href,….”. I replaced that line (all the way to the closing “]”) with the following to add the Facebook and Twitter buttons. All this does is add a couple of iframes for displaying the Facebook and Twitter buttons.

return [Q.href, '<span style="float: left; margin-right: 20px; display: block;"><a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=' + document.URL + '&media=' + Q.href + '&description=' + Q.title + '" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="Pin It" /></a></span><span>' + Q.title + '</span><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=' + document.URL + '&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=10&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=21" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="display:inline; border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100%; height:21px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/tweet_button.html?url=' + document.URL + '&via=xtapit&text=' + document.title + '" style="width:115px; height:21px;"></iframe><div style="clear:both;"></div>']

Adding the Google +1 button was trickier and requires a new php script in the plugin directory and changes to pinterest-lightbox.php

I ended up removing the Facebook and Twitter buttons from the light box because they were tagging the page rather than the image. I found the info on https://www.brettshumaker.com/nextgen-gallery-tweet-and-like-buttons/ was helpful.

Very much looking forward to v1.1 and the addition of Facebook/Twitter share! This is much needed by many. Thank you!

Sorry I have been MIA guys – I am working on v1.1 and cleaning up the code. There will be options in the admin interface for controlling which social networks are activated and how they behave. I will keep you all posted.

Thanks for your support and hope you are enjoying the plugin thus far!

I am really interested in the social sharing option as well. Any chance this will be ready soon? ?? Thanks!

Any word on adding FB and Twitter buttons? This would be great!

I. Cannot. Wait! The plugin is great already but it seems that 1.1 will turn it into a killer app.

How’s your progress? I’m on vaca next week and will come back with lots of pictures. It would be lovely if my friends could ‘like’ them with a facebook button. ??

Am also very hopeful that the addition of FB/Twitter will soon be added to this fantastic plugin. Any update, Travis?
