I want to create a share button for Linkedin, the GUI button is all set up, but it doesn't work when clicking it. I researched a bit and came to the conclusion that using the same sharing mechanism, other sites work but mine doesn't.
I narrowed the problem down and now I'm trying to figure out why google.com works but my site doesn't. I don't use my real company website because it's personal information, but it's a website that has been on the internet for more than 10 years (in case this information is useful). When I go to the links, my website throws an error, but Google works fine.
Ⓧ https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share/?url=https://www.my-company-website.com
〇 https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share/?url=https://www.google.com
Is there any pre-requisite I'm missing, which makes my site not work?
I realized my server was blocking Linkedin (to reduce traffic from Linkedin bots). That's why it wasn't working.
As hint: I was working on closed webpage (for outside users) and that also causing problems with Linkedin share button.
Hint 2: Website uses Lets Encrypt! SSL and information mentioned here is a fake news https://wordpress.org/support/topic/linkedin-share-button-not-working-3/ Work's fine!
If you ever get stuck on trying to figure out why your page simply doesn't populate nice preview data on your LinkedIn share page, then check out the LinkedIn Post Inspector.
Insert the URL of your page (i.e., example.com), not the URL you are using to share (i.e., linkedin.com/share?url=example.com). You'll get detailed information on how your site will appear and why, like, for instance, sharing wikipedia.org...
Hope this helps someone else with a LinkedIn share issue!

So I just linked my custom domain with firebase and it shows connected:
image of connected status
which is great. But now when I search website without /index.html, it redirects me to this page. I want to see this page which is accessible only when I append website domain with /index.html. I am new to firebase. How can I make my domain access index.html page without specifically mentioning /index.html?
EDIT: I just noticed that it's working fine on the mobile devices and in the incognito tab on PC. It must be something with my chrome browser I am logged in with. which is weird :/ should I change the title? Cause I think fault could be related to browser. but help me if you can.
So the real issue wasn't the configuration but the browser cache. if you are facing similar issues then try clearing the browser cache or try browsing the website on a different device. Spent literally 1-2 hrs on such a silly problem. Either way, thank you.
We've recently launched a new website http://atlascode.com and since the launch I've been unable to get in-page analytics working on the website. Google also claims that my tracking code is not working but I think this is a misnomer.
Whenever I attempt to load in-page analytics I receive the error:
We've identified problems in your setup. These may cause problems loading In-Page Analytics.
Your site doesn't load ga.js from Google.
If you host the Google tracking code on your own servers, it isn't updated automatically and can miss important changes.
We didn't find a tracking snippet on your site. In-Page Analytics cannot load. Please make sure you have tracking installed correctly. If your snippet is included in a separate JavaScript file, you'll have to manually check it is being loaded correctly.
-ENDS-
I've simply copy and pasted the tracking code on to the website and haven't done anything out of the ordinary. I've also checked to make sure that under Web Property Settings my Web property name and default URL is atlascode.com.
Any ideas you guys have really would be welcomed.
EDIT: Added screenshot of Google Analytics error http://min.us/mdqlrhj
Thanks in advance

Well there's whole buncha people in the web complaining about the same issue.
I've noticed something funny.
Most of developers love to exclude Analytics tracking code for logged in administrators and trying to check out In-Page Analytics while they're logged in. So there's really no any ga.js.
In my experience, this occurred when I hadn't set my default URL to exactly match the URL set in the profile.
Matt
P.S. Someone beat me to your source!
Got the same problem on Magento Enterprise, but solution was pretty simple: GA code just need to be placed before <head> tags. After this simple fix In-Page tracking works perfectly.
Update
Also, be sure you have no framekiller installed in your site.
I'm trying to figure out how to disable programatically the fishing site warnings that pop up when you enter a user name and password along with the url to a secure website, such as.
https://UserName:PassWord#Https://Secure.Website.com
Before the url comes up the warning dialog pops up first, since I know that the url I programmed is secure, I don't need the fishing site warning to pop up.
If anyone has any Ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
You just cant do this.
This behavior is in private UIKit apis that you can't alter without being rejected from AppStore.
And for once, there is a good reason to this, a security reason :)
EDIT (after comments below)
I think you can disable these warnings in device settings : Settings App > Safari > Fraud Warning
Note that you can't do this with code from your app. You can only ask user to do so, or maybe by using Enterprise deployment facilities.
EDIT 2 About security concerns
Again, there are very GOOD reason to this security, especially for a company concerned by its confidentiality/security.
It is not because you set a static URL in a UIWebView that this is the URL you will get, phishing is not only from websites servers, it can also come from a middle man attack on the TCP/IP connection, DNS spoofing, or who knows, an admin going nuts :)
Modifying private APIs is not easy, there is no source code, just assembly code that you can disassemble/analyze to figure a way to override/inject code doing what you want. It takes time that sorry I have not.
In other words : you should find an alternative solution, like another URL without https (ask webmaster) but another security, not requesting data from UIWebView... I'm afraid there is no easy workaround. And I guess you know that URL authentication like you are trying to do is highly unsecure, any intermediate could just get the query and login/password.
It is phishing and not fishing :)
Do you know you can edit your comments on stackoverflow?
I'm making a website using Facebook Connect and decided to use Facebook's XFBML tags like "fb:profile-pic" since they are so easy to use.
I haven't been able to make them work no matter how hard I look online but then I noticed that it worked on all the browser's instead of Firefox.
I also realized that even on Facebook's own "The Run Around" sample app they don't work!! You can check it out here: http://www.somethingtoputhere.com/therunaround/index.php
If you log in with Firefox your picture is not shown, but if you use another browser it is shown. This happens with the fb:profile-pic tag or any other tag like fb:name.
I haven't found any information online so I'm asking other people that have worked with this: Are these tags simply not compatible with Firefox ? Do they have outages or something like that ? Has this happened to anyone before ? Any ideas on how to resolve this ?
I guess they do have "outages". I've spent the whole weekend trying to resolve this and now they post they had a problem and have resolved it.
From the Platform Live Status website:
http://developers.facebook.com/live_status.php#msg_497
We are experiencing a possible config
problem with api.connect.facebook.com.
If you are including Connect JS
library through
http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php,
all API requests through JavaScript
would fail. This affects rendering of
XFBML tags (such as fb:name and
fb:profile-pic) as well. While we are
fixing this issue, you can work around
the problem by changing
http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php
to
http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php.
It's also safe to keep url change
permanently because
connect.facebook.com is just an alias
to facebook.com.
I wish they had updated that sooner, now I'm looking for a place to find out about this stuff before I spend days working on something before realizing it's not a problem with my code!
Open up Firefox > Preferences > Privacy and make sure "Accept third party cookies" is checked. This is needed for Facebook Connect to work. Also, when using Connect, make sure all your tags are fully closed, i.e. <fb:profile-pic></fb:profile-pic> and not <fb:profile-pic/>. From the docs:
The user's browser must be set to
accept 3rd Party Cookies in order for
it to stay connected between clicks.
Source: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Logging_In_And_Connecting
FWIW, I wouldn't use "the run around" as a sample app. That thing has been the same since they introduced Connect and is pretty hacky.
do check in connect section under the canvas option.
there should be a link of your physical file.
My company has multiple vendors that all have their own websites. I am creating a website that acts as a dashboard where customers can access all of the vendor's sites. I wanted to know what is the best option for doing this?
Here's what I have so far:
Iframe
Can bring in the entire website
Seems secure enough (not sure if I'm missing any information on security issues for this)
Users can interact with the vendor's website through our site
Our website cannot fully interact with the vendor's website (Also may be missing info here)
Pulling in the content
Can bring in the entire website
Not very secure from what I hear (Some websites actually say that pulling another website in is a voilation of security and will alert the user of this or something similar...
Users can interact with their website through our site
Our website can fully interact with the vendor's website
Anyone have any other options...?
What are some of the downsides to bringing in a site with an iframe and is this really our only option for doing something like this?
Optimally, we would like to pull in their site to ours without using an iframe- What options do we have on this level? Is there anything better than an iframe?
Please add in as much information as you can about iframes, pulling content, security, and website interactions like this. Anything to add in is appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
As far as "pulling content" is concerned I wouldn't advise it as it can break. All it takes is a simple HTML change on their end and your bot will break. Also, it's more work than you think to do this for one site, let alone the many that you speak of. However, there are 3rd party apps that can do this for you if you have the budget.
You could use an iframe/frames, however, many sites might try to bust out of them and it can ruin the user experience of the site within the frame.
My advice is to use the following HTML for each link in your dashboard.
Vendor Site Link
If you can have the sites that you are embedding add some client-side script, then you could use easyXSS. It allows for easy transferring of data, and also calling javascript methods across the domain boundry.
I would recommend iFrames. Whilst not the most glamorous of elements, many payment service providers use iFrames for the Verified by Visa/Mastercard Secure Code integration.
