Pinterest and Smugmug

BKGPhoto · December 10, 2011

I'm looking for some help. Recently I discovered Pinterest and I love it. I think it's a great place to share photography. Problem is when I want to add some of my own photographs from my smugmug site I can either:

A. Use the link from the share button on Smugmug. Problem with the share button and link is that it just copies the picture. When someone from within pinterest clicks on my image a page loads showing my picture but its not on my website Example There's no direct link back to my website.

B. I can use the pin it shorcut on my toolbar, but when I do this only the first four or five images in the gallery are visible to pin.

How can I pin specific pictures in my galleries that will link back to my website?

For all of you that have not heard of pinterest, here's the link If you would like an invite please pm me.

How about using an embeddable link from the share button, does Pinterest accept those (they have html in them that'll lead the clicker back to your gallery).

I was hoping to somehow add it to the sharing buttons for each picture.

Pinterest Pin It Button and SmugMug
I can't get anything Pinterest to work on anything SmugMug. The Pin It button on my toolbar does not work only on my SmugMug pages (works on my blog and regular website pages). I also added the Pin It button on the header of each page on my site next to other social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, but it doesn't work on any of the SmugMug pages either (I created it straight from Pinterest's site for doing this: http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/. Here's my site: http://www.herringtonphotography.com. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Angie,
I'm getting a javascript related error in the error console in Firefox. I'm guessing some of your customizations might be conflicting. It's pointing to this code from your custom header:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
CheckRedirects();
</script>

You might want to temporarily remove the pinterest code again to see if that clears the error. If you keep having a problem, you may want to post on the Dgrin customization forum on having the customization helpers / experts help troubleshoot your code.
Be sure to email yourself a copy of your code so that you can have a backup of all your code. You can use the 'email it!' button to do so.

Well, that made it work in one gallery, but I'm not sure why the others don't work. Still investigating, but thank you for the help. That extra java was a left over from vanity URLs, but I have since started using sub-domains instead, so that code needed to go anyway.

I used just a link to the picture of X3 size (http://photos.bradfordbenn.com/Portfolio/Architecture-Highlights/080813-135355-Edit/1175109615_UHUJp-X3-2.jpg) and manually added it to the Pin and that seemed to work. I was not able to get the Pin It Bookmarket to work.

Here are the steps I did

Found the image on My SmugMug site I wanted to pin.
Clicked the share button and got the link to the image directly (not the embed just the plain direct link)
In another tab I had Pintrest running
I went to the upper right and selected Add+
Click the "Add Pin"
Pasted in the URL
Selected the board from the dropdown list
Put in some comments

Here is the result http://pinterest.com/pin/17170042299037060/

<div style='padding-bottom: 2px; line-height: 0px'><a href='http://pinterest.com/pin/17170042299037060/' target='_blank'><img src='http://assets4.pinimg.com/upload/17170042299037060_jCeXFX9X_c.jpg' border='0' width='554' height ='184'/></a></div><div style='float: left; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;'><p style='font-size: 10px; color: #76838b;'>Source: <a style='text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10px; color: #76838b;' href='http://photos.bradfordbenn.com/Portfolio/Architecture-Highlights/080813-135355-Edit/1175109615_UHUJp-X3-2.jpg'>photos.bradfordbenn.com</a> via <a style='text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10px; color: #76838b;' href='http://pinterest.com/bradfordbenn/' target='_blank'>Bradford</a> on <a style='text-decoration: underline; color: #76838b;' href='http://pinterest.com' target='_blank'>Pinterest</a></p></div>

Oh just in case anyone is curious, the Pin It Bokkmarkley does work on DGrin. http://pinterest.com/pin/17170042299037080/

What is the code snippet at the bottom of your post supposed to do?

I am gathering from the few posts I'm finding about Pinterest is that at the moment it is not really possible to have Pinit buttons on our pages that work...unless the photos are not protected from right click save.

BradfordBenn · February 16, 2012

That code snippet is the link that takes to the image I pinned on pinterest

mkl · February 24, 2012

this might help some of you - this is a pin it button for your site that works with right-click protection on.
