Generate Pinterest Share Button That Specifies URL - social-networking

I am trying to create a "pinterest share" button, but am running into a snag.
Currently, I have the pinterest button (generated from their Widget Builder) appearing in a Lightbox. (For certain reasons, it must appear this way.)
The issue is the Lightbox code has direct linking on it, so the code for the lightbox window is something like: www.domain.com/#/social/4
Pinterest is picking up that URL (which has no images since it's just the lightbox) instead of the URL for the main page (www.domain.com).
Does anyone know how I can specify the exact URL to share via the pinterest button?
I have read some posts that said doing this would work:
<img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" alt="Pin it" / > <script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>
However, specifying the URL does not seem to work at all. It appears to be totally ignored and has no impact.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

You can use a standard link and specify all the data in the parameters:
<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/
?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fkentbrew%2F6851755809%2F
&media=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7027%2F6851755809_df5b2051c9_z.jpg
&description=Next%20stop%3A%20Pinterest"
data-pin-do="buttonPin"
data-pin-config="above">
<img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" />
</a>

You can try using structured meta data and Rich Pins.

Customizing the Okta Footer

I am trying to customize the footer that contains the support links etc. There is an option to enable/disable but I want to customize it so that I can add my own links or code in there.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Currently, Okta only supports enable and disable of the footer.
You can, however, host a custom page and include an <iframe></iframe> with the source as https://{your-org}.okta.com/app/UserHome?iframe=true&iframeControlHideAll=true.
Example:
<body>
<iframe src="https://{your-org}.okta.com/app/UserHome?iframe=true&iframeControlHideAll=true"; frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
</body>
Another option is to completely build your own portal with a custom look and feel using the Okta API.

using ZURB Foundation with laravel

I am new to laravel so I am not sure how this can be achieved. I am using ZURB Foundation and trying to create a button in the page.
I use linkRoute always to redirect to a named route then redirect to a specific controller action. I have the below:
<body >
<h1 align="center">ShopCon.com</h1><br><br>
<a style="margin-left:50px;" href="{{ HTML::linkRoute('membersaccess', 'Members Access') }}" class="medium success button">Login or Register</a>
</body>
but when I render this, it shows like this
Members Access" class="medium success button">Login or Register
instead of showing the button and text within it and link to named route. How can this be fixed? I read something about macros but unable to clearly understand them or use them to achieve this.
Picture included for reference:
HTML::linkRoute produces an HTML anchor tag.
Since you only want the URL, use URL::route.

Trigger click on link on jquery mobile not working

I tried triggering a link via .trigger() function but is not working
<a data-role="button" id="redirectprofile_btn" href="profile.html" rel="external" style="display:block;">Profile</a>
Once i click the link manually, it will display the profile page (profile.html, with its own css and js) but if i use
$("#redirectprofile_btn").click() or $("#redirectprofile_btn").trigger('click'),
it wont redirect.
Im new to jquerymobile, any help would really be great.
Thanks
Use event.prevent default() followed by event.stopImmediatePropogation then changePage to the links href attr value.

iframe and Remarketing Code Madness

So I have nearly finished working on an a eCommerce platform with Magento and we are now running Remarketing campaigns via Google's Ad Display Network.
Now...
If you look here: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8859/52447256.jpg
I had placed the remarketing tag underneath my footer links and it has caused those links to be shifted on the bottom and in the center where as before it was flush and tidy on the right hand side in line with the newsletter opt-in form.
What's causing this is the iframe width. If I set '300' to '0' then its back to how it should be and perfectly in line.
Now the problem...
I placed this remarketing tag in magento and the code does not provide any iframe html code. I checked the footer by going to:
\MY WEBSITE\html\app\design\frontend\base\default\template\page\html\footer.phtml
What did I find? Barely anything lol. So now I am confused as to where this iframe was created and how to solve it. Any ideas would highly be appreciated!
Steve.
I ran into same problem just yesterday while working in a shitty Comarch Aurum CMS and was looking for a safe solution which wouldn't get me banned:
Google remarketing tag - iframe height issue
so if anyone else has this problem, the most common solution is to insert the conversion.js script tag into a hidden div:
<div style="display: none">
<script type="text/javascript" src="//www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js"> </script>
</div>
src:

AJAX Wordpress Site with Difficult URL settings

On this WordPress theme utilizing AJAX, proves to be difficult. The developer of the theme cannot seem to find the issue or solution to it.
This site runs beautifully, if, and only IF, you type is this complete URL "http://www.geigerandwood.com/#!//" if you type in the .com site alone, it will appear but will be disfunctional.
I have made attempts in 301 redirects, even creating a static page with a redirect but still no luck. Is there something that I can add or change in the code to make this work properly?
FYI - it has been tested on the common web browsers on both OSX & Windows.
Here is a video of my presented issue. http://www.screenr.com/D1G8
What theme do you use?
My quick examination of your page source code is that I only can find something related to the #!// is in here
<div id="contentBoxScroll">
<a id="closeButton" href="#!//"></a>
<div class="dragcontainer">
<div id="contentBoxScrollDragger" class="dragger">
<div class="scroll_up"></div>
<div class="scroll_down"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I assume it must be something inside the script from which that HTML is generated. I can say more since I can't see the full source.
