How to Add Pinterest Boards with Pin it buttons to your Wordpress website

!!note: this has been updated with version 1.01 of Pinterest to Wordpress by DeanDev

The mission here was to help make a website that intergrates with the clients Pinterest boards. 
Ideally I'd of liked to have the pages look as much like Pinterest as possible but have had to make some concessions because of time and investment. 

Here's an image of what I've achieved.



The plugins I've used are ->

Pinterest to Wordpress Plugin

I would have liked the Pin it button to have appeared as a roll over on the images like on Pinterest - as in this plugin Pinterest Pin it Button for Images but as the gallery on Pinterest to Wordpress Plugin uses script rather than '' tags it doesn't work .

So I used Pinterest "Pin it" Button

and used the following hack to show on Pinterest to Wordpress Plugin 

OPEN
wp-content/plugins/pinterest-to-wordpress/shortcodes.php

on line 103 FIND

$desc='
'.str_replace('/search', 'http://pinterest.com/search', urldecode($ttls[$i]) ) .'
';
     

REPLACE WITH

$pinitButton = do_shortcode('[pinit]');
     
     $desc='
'.str_replace('/search', 'http://pinterest.com/search', urldecode($ttls[$i]) ) .'
'.$pinitButton.'
';
     

You should also add some CSS to your style.css . I've used

div.PinItButton{
float: right;
margin-right: 4%;
}

Joomla Slideshow CK - how to show youtube Video

You'll notice while setting this module up that in the Video demonstrated it's for Vimeo; and is like 'http://player.vimeo.com/video/32575033'  .  You may also have noticed that if you use the Youtube URL that your video doesn't display.

What you need to do is enter the Youtube URL in the following format. You can get this from the Youtube EMBED code if you need it.  Otherwise just swap the Youtube ID for yours

Issue adding new google analytics account

For some reason I couldn't find how to add a new Google Analytics account to the ones I already had.   Its fairly straight forward .

> go to 'admin' on the upper right

> You'll now have 2 columns -. Account , Property and View

> Click on 'Account'  and the last option is 'Create New Account'

wordpress 3.5 contact form 7 failed to send your message. Please try later or contact administrator by another method.

On our website we started getting the following error when trying to send a message using the 'Contact Form 7' plugin on Wordpress 3.5.1 . 

'Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact administrator by another method.'

Here's the changes I made to get the plugin to work.

* The first thing I did was to fill in the 'To:' and 'From:' Fields. 

* I also made sure I used mail address that had the same domain as the server I'm sending from . Ie if your website address is  mywebsite.com  then address will be something like 'sales@mywebsite.com' 

* I also filled in the SUBJECT field with 'A Website Inquiry'

* And filled the Message Body with

The following is an inquiry from
   [your-name]

 [ your-email]

   [your-subject]

   [ your-message]

!!note: this is also a fix for 'contact form 7 not sending information to admin in message body'  if you are having that issue.

Here's a screen shot .

how to fix windows taskbar XP


On a HP Pavillion dv2000 laptop the following text on a bluescreen would pop up really quickly.  After this message once windows xp had loaded the taskbar was not displaying properly.

Here's the text.

#####################

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

PAGE_FAULT_IN_HOMEPAGED_AREA

If this is the first time you've seen this error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure and new hardware or software is properly installed.  If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If the problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software, Disable BIOS memory, options such as caching or shadowing.  If you need to safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and select safe mode.

For me I had to fix this by pressing F11 and following the PC fix instructions. I'd recommend backing up in Safe Mode first though.

AutoTweet NG basic showing on Facebook admin but not on other users statuses

I am using Joomla 2.5 and AutoTweet NG Basic version 6.5.2 but have a feeling this mistake will effect other version.

So basically what's happening is that you can see the post you've made but no one else can.  Also in the posts the reach will read as zero.

The solution is really simple.  Go back to you Facebook Developers page and click on the app you have created for this. 

On the main page under Basic info there is a selection for 'Sandbox' this needs to be set to 'Disabled' otherwise it's in test mode and only you as the developer can see the post.
