Adding Pinterest to the list

I’m tackling adding Pinterest to this addon and am 75% there. Pinterest requires both the URL (typical) and a specific image link (not typical) to be “pinned” into a user’s account.

What might be the best way to go about defining an $imageLink variable? It’s not as smart as Facebook in that it lets the user choose from all images on the page. That would’ve been too easy.

Thanks!

With some help from the developer, here is the solution:

(1) Open the plugin file and create a variable around line 64:
$image = $this->EE->TMPL->fetch_param(‘image’);

(2) Then append the variable to the new Pinterest url, e.g.:
http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=’ . $permalink . ‘&media=’ . $image

(3) Then in the template for your page, add the new variable to the tag. In my case a matrix row:
{exp:hj_social_bookmarks sites=“Pinterest” entry_id=”{entry_id}” image=”{photos limit=“1”}{image}{/photos}”}

You’ll obviously also need to create your own Pinterest image, etc following suite from the other HJ Bookmarks. Thanks to Berry!
