I had a similar issue with it breaking Gravity Forms on a client site. The fix is pretty easy.
Here’s how I patched it:
Open pin-it-on-pinterest/js/backend.js, and go to line 26. Basically, you just need to reverse the order of lines 26 and 27.
Replace this:
var html=jQuery(response);
if (Pinterest.is_upload) {
With this:
if (Pinterest.is_upload) {
var html=jQuery(response);
Once you do that, it should work exactly the same and play nicely with other plugins/themes that also use window.send_to_editor.
I hope this helps! It worked perfectly for my client 🙂
Also, once I logout of Pinterest and try the button on our site, I am given the login dialogue on the popup, and once I authenticate, I am served the pin it page, but the image and description are gone.
The url that came up on the one I just tried is:
http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.dappledgrey.com/2011/10/equestrian-couture-ralph-lauren-fall-2011.html#_=_
Think I figured this out. This seems to have been happening because I am a new Pinterest user AND DID NOT HAVE ANY BOARDS YET.
Once I created a board and tried it again it worked.
FYI I think this bug still remains:
once I logout of Pinterest and try the button on our site, I am given the login dialogue on the popup, and once I authenticate, I am served the pin it page, but the image and description are gone.
