PrestaShop and Google+ badge

Google+ widget code

Here is the widget code for our Google+ profile. Of course if you want to use widget for own profile - you have to change several variables in the code below. I will show you step by step what to change.

<!-- Place this tag where you want the widget to render. -->
<div class="g-page" data-width="200" data-href="//plus.google.com/116184657854665082523" data-rel="publisher"></div>

<!-- Place this tag after the last widget tag. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  window.___gcfg = {lang: 'en-GB'};

  (function() {
    var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
    po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
  })();
</script>

Most important variables in the code

1. data-width="200"  - this param defines the width of the widget block, you can use own width value (you can decrease / increase it if you want)
2. //plus.google.com/116184657854665082523 - this is an URL to our Google+ profile. You have to use own URL inster our. Change the value of this param.
3. window.___gcfg ={lang: 'en-GB'}; this is the definition of the language used in widget, en-GB means that widget will use english language for Great Britain.  You can use own language ISO code there, for example: pl, es, fr, de, it etc.

You can also define own widget code on page: Google+ widget code generator. Ok, so I suppose that you've got now own valid Google+ badge widget code. So please follow instruction below.

From the left hand side column select the position where you want to put the widget. I selected left column, so it mean that widget will appear in the main left column of your store. Now paste the code to the field in the right hand side column and hit Save Settings button. That's all, your widget will appear in your front - end.
