Hi Sherrie,

What module or script are you trying to use, specifically?

Can you elaborate your problem? Do you use a module or need a module?

[sherrie]

Using the script I got from Twitter. Try putting it in a cms and a freestyle block and on the front page content and in the footer content.

 

<a href="https://twitter.com/OleanQuilters" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false">Follow @OleanQuilters</a>

<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);[spam-filter](document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>

Why don't you try that link? There is a free one.

Or this one. A flying bird:

Using the script I got from Twitter. Try putting it in a cms and a freestyle block and on the front page content and in the footer content.

 

<a href="https://twitter.com/OleanQuilters" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false">Follow @OleanQuilters</a>

<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);[spam-filter](document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>

 

For the ones who doesn't want a module, you can just add {literal} {/literal} before and after script.

You can then add the code in any .tpl

So it gives you :

 

<a href="https://twitter.com/OleanQuilters" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false">Follow @OleanQuilters</a>

{literal}

<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);[spam-filter](document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>

{/literal}

 

You can see it live here using the twitter feed.

 

Every little helps...

thanks for your know how.

Method provided by you is good for merchants with basic knowledge about coding,

if someone don't know how to use FTP etc. it's better to use available modules

 

that's my opinion, but of course your method is absolutely right

[Presta4All]

I totally agree with you. Some "basic " knowledge are necessary but I found it so much easier than modules for couples of reasons :

 

-You can place you code wherever you want. You don't need to look for those Hooks( by the way, the hooks are the "most horrible thing" in Prestahop, I don't need to talk about their "Live edit module position", it's only good the basic theme)

 

-If new update from external link and script comes ( like Facebook new plugins or a change of website link), it's easier to access to the code and change it.

 

-You can really adapt it to your theme and website layout

 

So at the end it's really worth it to learn a little bit about coding in prestashop.

But you are right, do not try this change if you don't have a clue about what your are doing

[Velocity]

Solution given by 98dianast works like a charm, sometimes is better to put the code wherever you want than a module.

 

The thing is, the script of the G+ button doesnt need the {literal} to work, anyone know why the twitter script does ?
