Ok I give up building a new site using 1.5.3.1 and I see the Addthis module but where do you enter your username within the system. Either I'm being really thick or missing something.
I know I could edit
template/catalog/product/product.tpl
But I assumed there would be a place to insert the required Addthis username.
You don't need to add in your username... it uses the person that clicks it

Sorry Jem
That answer makes no sense, how on earth then is any tracking possible via the addthis control panel if it has no username to assign the stats to.
I've been adding the addthis plugin for 5 years on numerous websites. And the embed code has a username assigned.
But there appears to be no such facility within OC admin panel.

All I did for my website was go to the http://AddThis.com website, signed up and then got the code to put onto the website which has a tracking code in the script. Just a couple of things to keep in mind though...karlopencart wrote:Sorry Jem

1. It is capable of tracking if the URL gets copied and pasted by someone but it will but a hash-tag code at the end so if you don't want that then make sure to change it to 'false'...
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":false};</script>Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ThisIsTheTrackingCode"></script>Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ThisIsTheTrackingCode"></script>Jason.g
As you so rightly point out there is a #pubid=thisisyourtrackingcode within the addthis script but other than editing the OC \catalog\view\theme\default\template\product\product.tpl to include the code which of course I could do. But I can't find a logical place within the admin panel to add the "thisisthetrackingcode" or maybe it got left out of the build or maybe there is a vqmod that would add it.
During this shop build I was determine not to end up with numerous tpl edits.
Thanks Karl

Ok, so to answer your question, you can't add the tracking code (or username, whatever you want to call it) from the OpenCart admin panel. You would have to edit the product.tpl file either manually or through vQmod. I'm assuming since you've been adding this code to websites for over 5 years (which you mentioned) you know how to edit the .tpl file manually. If you would rather make a vQmod to avoid editing core files, then head over to http://code.google.com/p/vqmod/, download it, install it, and then create your vQmod .xml file to add the code you want.

Thanks that has answered the question fully, will just mod the product.tpl. Not really played with the vqmod stuff but will set aside some time to look at it.
For those of you reading this you will need to edit the following file
\catalog\view\theme\default\template\product\product.tpl
around line 223 or search for AddThis Button END
then replace the code
with the code provided by Addthis
The only real change in the code is just after the # where you add username=THIS WILL BE THE USER NAME
bigchilli - Thanks again

Not a problem. Really the vQmod shouldn't take you more than 5 or 10 minutes to pick up. It's quite easy and that's not an exaggeration.karlopencart wrote:Thanks that has answered the question fully, will just mod the product.tpl.

Ok I will set aside 5-10 mins tomorrow and give it go. Client requests permitting. But your name may well be taken in vain but I apologies in advance 
Hey it's Sunday roast time in the UK. yum yum !!!
Thanks for the time to answer my ?, mostly I can find everything on the forum which is why I don't post that much but the addthis code had me stumped
Because I knew I could hardcode the result. Which was the answer anyway.
So tomorrow it will be a 1.4.7 to 1.5.3.1 upgrade on 3 sites

Just working on something else and stumbled across my own post, Jem I never said thanks for the VQ Mod and I still don't understand why it's not part of the core OC but hey ho!!!
Just stumbled across this thread while searching for a way to update the AddThis plugin to use a specific account. The VQMod works great but I thought I should point out that on line 6, there is a trailing space after the file name that was preventing the original line from being replaced.
<file name="catalog/view/theme/*/template/product/product.tpl ">
Should be changed to
<file name="catalog/view/theme/*/template/product/product.tpl">
<file name="catalog/view/theme/*/template/product/product.tpl ">
Should be changed to
<file name="catalog/view/theme/*/template/product/product.tpl">
