How to turn on Facebook like Button in the Admin


The first and easiest way to do this is by going through the Admin of the cart and turning the "like" button on. 


This can be done by entering the Admin of the cart and going to Marketing>Social Sharing>Social Sharing for Products.


The image below shows what you're looking for:



Now if your cart doesn't have this option or you have done a lot of Design of Development work to your site, you will want to head over to the Developers page on Facebook


Now if you want to get a Facebook Like Button and Share, option you can continue reading on as this will help you get this to how you would like in your PinnacleCart.


How to access Facebook Developer Page


Note: You will need to have a Facebook Account and be logged in to access this page


Once you're logged in you can use this link to bring you directly to the page you're looking for.


The page will look like this:




 You will want to make sure in the above image to put in your Facebook page URL to like. The current URL is only a example URL and will bring you to a Facebook page that is used by the Developers. 


Where to find the Code for Facebook like button


On the same page that you see above, you will scroll down a little bit and hit a button that says "Get Code".



Once you click this button you will see another window that looks like the following, this is the code that you will be able to copy and paste to the Cart Designer on the Product Pages. 



One last thing before moving on, you will want to make sure you're connected to the Facebook account that you're using for Developer, one area you may have already set this up for is turning on Facebook Sign In. 


Where to add the Facebook Code


Now you will want to get into the Admin of your Cart and go to the Cart Designer. Once there navigate to a product, doesn't matter which as when you add the code in, it will reflect on all product pages.


So first off we will need to take the code from the first part of the box we clicked on and shown above. This will need to be placed in the body, but before we do that we will need to find this file and make a copy of it and upload to _custom. 


The file we're looking for is header.html. The path for that file is:


[cart root]/content/skins/WeddingAndBridal(or your current theme)/templates/layouts/zones/header.html


Make a copy of this file to your local computer and name it header.html.



Now that we have made a copy to the local computer, you will want to open in a text pad and insert the code and make sure you're adding {literal} {/literal} tags before the first and last <script> tags.



Now we have this, we can upload back to our cart, but in a different path now.


 The path you will upload to is:


 [cart root]/content/skins/_custom/skin/templates/layouts/zones/



Note: You can place the code any where you would like with in the Cart, this is completely up to you


Now we have that uploaded we can now go into Cart Designer and insert the code for the Like Button and Share Button. 


Find any product in your cart using the Cart Designer, navigate to that Product Page and right click and click Source Code.



Once you have opened up the Source Code, scroll to the bottom and place the code after the very last </div> tag and closing {/if}.



In the highlighted code above, you can also replace the URL with a Variable for the product, that variable would look as such: {$pdroduct.url}


This will ensure you're getting that product and that product only. 


Now this has been inserted, you can click Save and you will now see your Like and Share Button as you see below:
