You can use Addthis HTML into simple HTML block and include it to product details page layout.

This is a great way to do that.  Read the article here.

Then go to the generator here -  you can use the html and simply paste it with your description area placing it where you wish
You must be on the SOURCE side of the editor to place the html code.

I have no help for you.  In my testing it worked well.  Suggest you read directions and try it again.


You can also go directly to facebook and make a button -  you have to do this for every product also.

I presume by this you mean in the code editor via cpanel for the website and directly editting in the template?

Which file in particular would you recomend editting to have the 'Share to' appear on all product pages and if you have time, where in the file would you place the HTML code?

Thanks

EDIT:

Figured it out. Simply create a new HTML block and copy both the Function script and the action script into the 'Source'. Exactly as you outlined!! Sometimes I over think things :/

Glad you got it and here's a new extension (free)  that lets you easily place a share link on EACH of the product pages,  and will use the product link in the address

Try it out -  it's really nice IMO

I just checked that extension and and owner says they're not updating it for 1.2+ ... :(
However, they'll be releasing a new extension to replace Sharethis...no words as to when it'll be release though...

It will be available soon.  Probably towards the end of this week.
And it will be a free extension also.
