Copa85 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I just got some code from AddThis.com which will add social media buttons around my site, they say "Copy and paste the code below anywhere in your page. Each layer will automatically appear in the right place. Want to customize?" But I'm not sure where to paste it. Do I paste it in a file in the hosting "File Manager" if so what file, and what spot? I tried pasting it in a html code module, but that didn't work...please help. Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 everything depends on where you want to display these buttons, so can you please shed some more light on this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copa85 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 everything depends on where you want to display these buttons, so can you please shed some more light on this problem? Umm... it's going to be in multiple spots, some on the top and some on the side that hover. It says that they will go where they need to go, you just have to paste the html code into your website, and I don't know where to paste it. I hope that helps you out a little bit, thanks for the time and help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulito Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Good morning Perhaps the easiest way to achieve what you require is to download the Free HTML box from HERE And then add the code to this, please see links below http://gyazo.com/b28e9a45a8b3f98f0f8d6f69c53102c2 Live link Hope this helps Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Usually, I place addthis buttons in the product page. You can use vekia's html box or edit product.tpl (theme folder) and paste the code, for example, right after the h1 tag with the product name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make that be displayed throughout the whole site, do you have any idea of what folder to paste it into or where to paste it to do that?
