any thoughts on a fix ?

Where do i paste the code for ShareThis? I have the code pasted in the template header, but I do not know where to paste the code on the product page.

I keep getting an error when uploading the facebook.xml.config file? I made the recommended changes, but get a critical file error when trying to upload to the xmlPackages root dir. Reason for error says "could not start transfer..." ?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
