Add A Pinterest Button To The Sharebar WordPress Plugin

Hey guys, I’m trying to add Pinterest button on my Sharebar WordPress plugin here. So after a little research i found out what Pinterest is offering a goodies page where you can find a Pinterest button what you can use and add to your Sharebar WordPress plugin fast and easy. Pinterest pin button can be found here.

Don’t use the code in their goodies page, because it doesn’t work properly. It doesn’t open a proper popup button with images from your page, but just creates a link to pinterest page where you can create your pin there. If you want that button to open in a nice modal Pinterest window use the code what’s provided below.

<a title="Pin It!" href="javascript:javascript:void((function(){var e=document.createElement(‘script’);e.setAttribute(‘type’,’text/javascript’);e.setAttribute(‘charset’,’UTF-8′);e.setAttribute(‘src’,’http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r=’+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());">
<img src="http://passets-cdn.pinterest.com/images/pinit_preview_none.png" alt="" />
</a>

The main problem with this code what’s given above it doesn’t show a number of Pinterest pins.
