Hey Stan,

Any idea how to add a stumble upon button to productpages. This is the code they give us :

<a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yoursite.com%2Farticle.php%26title%3DThe%2BArticle%2BTitle">

Any idea how to modify this code ? Thxs !

Dave

I am not familiar what this "stumble upon" is doing, but if you have a code like that to show on all product pages then you can just add it to the product template if it changes by product or in the main template if it is the same for the entire website.

there are so many Smile

here is a keyword that you can use to give the URL of the product as an argument:

AUTO_GENERATED_PRODUCT_URL_DETAILED: will be replaced with the URL pointing to the webpage of the detail product

test it and let me know...

Stan,

Can this code be used in the main template or does it need to reside in the product detail templates?

Stan,

I tried inserting the following in my detailed product template:

[ <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2F AUTO_GENERATED_PRODUCT_URL_DETAILED %2Farticle.php%26title%3DThe%2BArticle%2BTitle"><img border=0 src="http://cdn.stumble-upon.com/images/120x20_su_blue.gif"></a> ]

After generating the link appeared but it doesn't work right. Here's one of the pages I'm trying to work with:

http://www.bassburglaralarms.com/product_40282_detailed.htm

Would you mind having a look to see what it is I'm doing wrong, please? Thanks.

it must be in the product template

your code is incorrect, try this:

<a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=AUTO_GENERATED_PRODUCT_URL_DETAILED%2Farticle.php%26title%3DThe%2BArticle%2BTitle"><img border=0 src="http://cdn.stumble-upon.com/images/120x20_su_blue.gif"></a>

Thanks Stan,

I tried that and it works. Stumble Upon is a popular engine for "window shopping" the web. I've been trying to figure out how to make it work for my site. This is one more thing that should help with traffic and (best of all) it's free.

There are Title and Article fields which can be included in the URL. If done right these will prefill the associated fields on Stumble's form, helping to prevent misstated or misquoted results. Apparently, you can automatically enter a paragraph from the SF product database to describe the product. If you or anyone else knows how to implement those features through the SF template it would help.

Any thoughts?

Your URL is incorrect for the title portion, it must be:

...&title=TitleTextIsHere&...

it should be same for the others as well

I am not familiar with all these, there are many and I do not sell online, so no wonder I have no idea about them Smile

Also, you better remove the [ and ] that surround your stumble image
