trouble sharing on Pinterest - "schedule" word keeps showing up - pinterest

When I manually post a photo with my blog url the word "Schedule" appears in the description on Pinterest. I've tried debugging the url in Pinterest but it comes back with a 429 error. This word shows up a lot on my blogs. I found "Schedule" in the blog excerpt, but even after deleting it, it either comes back in the excerpt or still shows up in the description.
Pinterest support says Issue is on Squarespace's side. While inspecting source code, the word "schedule" is embedded within Squarespace's "data-name" tag:
Static.SQUARESPACE_CONTEXT
I would recommend that you loop in a web developer to help remove that code.
How do I do that and would that fix the problem?
Thanks,
Michelle

Why does typing "e! Kee" into a URL do a ebay search for the word "kee"?

Seems to flash to a search engine before that as-well. Im thinking that "e!" tells the browser to go to ebay or something.
I stumbled on this issue while doing the normal youtube browsing that normal people do and saw a user with no name or profile pic.
You can see it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i1Xsamln2U but you need to "sort by" "newest first" in the comments section then scroll down to the bottom.
Somewhere in my search for the username in the inspect element page, I stumbled upon the term "e! Kee". A URL search leads me to ebay and it even kicks me off my gifcam software somehow. Its either I have a virus and someone is messing with me or im missing some eepic part about that phrase/shortcut.
Also, does anyone know how to get a youtube profile without a username like in the example I gave?
e! is a DuckDuckGo Bang. Bangs are essentially shortcuts to search on other sites, e here redirecting to Ebay but there's many others. So for example you could do !e computer and you'd get Ebay results for "computer" or !w computer and get Wikipedia results.

magento cookie text replaces description in google

Quick question, since I've added the magento cookie options in 1.7.0.2 google has swapped my description (the bit of text under main link in search results) for the text that I have in my cookie confirmation box. Not only is this terrible for people that find us through google, I doubt google bot will be all too pleased with it. All my pages have descriptions set but for some reason they are not being used? the cookie explanation text is used instead. Does anyone know how I can change this? or stop it happening?
Many Thanks
I was facing the exact same problem: Google was showing the cookie warning text as description in search results for my Magento store.
The problem turned out to be my Meta description being too short. Solution for me was making the meta description longer, atleast about 150 characters (including spaces).
What goes in your < description > tag is found in Magento's backoffice: system>configuration>general>design, under HTML head, Default Description.
After save, I cleared cache and checked the page source for showing the updated meta. To make things with Google go faster, I used their webmaster tools to submit the store url for crawling. After a little wait, Google was showing the store's description in the search results just like it's supposed to.
Hope this can still help you!
Cheers
Could you paste your cookie confirmation box and how it works, as well as some of your meta descriptions?
Blank out as necessary, just need the gist of the structure.

Displaying correct joomla website information when posting website link

I was hoping someone can help me fix an issue. When someone posts a link to my joomla created website, they get the heading "Whats New?", which is my default article page for the site. It is the current blog articles written.
For example, if someone posted my link on facebook, it would look like this:
Whats New?
MyDomain.com
Description of website goes here...
Everything looks great except for the "Whats New?". Is there a way to put My webpage name instead of the name of the default page? How about showing an image? When posted on facebook, there is just text and no image used.
Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated
Facebook uses Opengraph data to build those posts. If facebook isn't offered OpenGraph data, then it will use its own methods to try and find the information it needs. Sometimes with useless results. There are a lot of options to fix this. Joomla extensions has a few opengraph extensions for you to install, some of those should work fine. You can always write something yourself or add the data in your template. But don't expect results right away, because facebook caches those media objects for some time.
Open graph: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Joomla Extensions: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/seo-a-metadata/open-graph
There are more ways to fix this, but this is probably the easiest for you. Hope it helps.
Good Luck.
In the Joomla backend, do the following:
Open the menu item the the article is assigned to.
On the right hand side, open the Page Display Options panel
Add whatever you like to the Browser Page Title parameter.
Hope this helps

Facebook like or share with dynamic document title

I found this problem all over the net but no answer yet, so maybe here someone solved it ...?
I built a page relying heavily on jquery.address. It's got one index page and the rest loads dynamically via Ajax following Google's /#!/ scheme for crawlable pages. Now I want to add Facebooks Like or share button but I can't get it to grab the actual page title or url.
Whatever I do, it always falls back to title and url of the index page. It tried:
(obviously) changing title an openGraph meta on load of the new parts.
"linking" the crawler page (?_escaped_fragmet_=xyx) but specifying the #! page in meta
"sharing" with a given title and url.
I never get anything but a link to the index page or a blank "share" to the right url with title and thumbnail ignored.
Has anyone got a similar setup working?
Thanks for any hints,
thomas
Facebook is actually using #! now and it works! If you build your site so that http://site.de/?_escaped_fragment=something is identical to http://site.de/#!/something all you have to do is "share" the #! url and it'll display the info from the escaped fragment page.
Use this URL to check: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
But: A much cleaner solution to the problem can be found here: http://github.com/browserstate/history.js/wiki/Intelligent-State-Handling
My guess would be that Facebook's crawler doesn't run Javascript and will always display whatever's actually in the page it gets from the server.
Facebook share has a BRUTAL cache, last time I checked it was impossible to change the title / description data once it was scraped :(
The issue I had was the og:url and the actual url of the page did not match. I also read a number of comments about the og data being just after the title element, but I don't think that solved anything.
With regard to issues of caching, it is true that Facebook's caching is "brutal", but it does not cache anything for the lint tool: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug.
I use no-hash-bang urls when sharing links. I process the hard links and redirect them to a hash bang client side using javascript. That way if a crawler goes to the hard linked page it will display the information just as it would if javascript were enabled.

HTML codes showing in viewpage HTML data

I’m a new to Codeigniter. Just using it in my project from last 2 months. I’ve a comment section in my project. Where any one can give comments. Every things are going perfect but when ever any one putting HTML content(image/videos) & then when those are showing back in the comment section… direct HTML codes are showing in the comment page rather than HTML content(image/videos).
ex: when i’m saving any “embed youtube video code” in the comment box & save that the out put comes as “raw Embed Video codes” rather than Youtube Video…..
I feel like it must be a minor thing but really can’t understand where the fault has occurring. Plz, if any body have the solution reply me back as soon as possible.
Couldn't one devise a system where somebody just posts the youtube link itself and through a combination of regular expressions your own system generates the object/embed code itself so there's no security risk possible?
I had a similar problem a while back - wanting to give end users the ability to post YouTube videos, but not allow them to just post anything without some sort of XSS protection.
I ended up using htmlpurifier - http://htmlpurifier.org/ to filter the contents being submitted in the form.
There is a modification that can be made to the whitelist that allows YouTube code through the purifier.
http://htmlpurifier.org/docs/enduser-youtube.html
So far, that's working well, but my system is still in development.
As a quick hack you can do htmlspecialchars_decode when displaying the comment in your view. This is very dangerous though without the use of sanitization when you receive the comment - search xss_clean on this page. You should also use strip_tags to remove all the HTML tags you don't need (everything except the video tags) prior to inserting the comment in the database.
