Please help me understand how this is happening:
I am monitoring one of my competitor's website products. But something strange happened and I am bit confused how this is possible.
Please see the urls below which leads to same product but showing me different prices.
https://www.werko.com.au/product/genuine-fuji-xerox-cwaa0751-waste-toner-bottle/
Price - $33.00
https://www.werko.com.au/product/genuine-fuji-xerox-cwaa0751-waste-toner-bottle/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5unSyImD3wIVRBSPCh2y3QNcEAsYASABEgJBpvD_BwE
Price - $31.57
If "?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5unSyImD3wIVRBSPCh2y3QNcEAsYAS ABEgJBpvD_BwE" portion is of URL is added to any product URL it will show me the edited prices otherwise the old prices. How this is happening?
It's just a GET parameter (Query string) and the webpage is generated (on the server by the script) depending on it. The value itself (part after =) is just a random string here.
Edit: actually it's the Google Click ID which they also use to change the price. So if the Click ID is present, the price is lowered.

I am trying to find the correct template and id to use for a hotprint of an advanced pdf template of an Item Fulfillment.
The hot print url is (with the id bolded) https://system.na3.netsuite.com/app/accounting/print/hotprint.nl?regular=T&sethotprinter=T&id=7600&label=Packing%20Slip&printtype=packingslip&trantype=itemship&orgtrantype=TrnfrOrd&auxtrans=7605
For some reason only certain id=# seems to affect the outcome and the ids I have got to work for two different templates don't match the Custom Transaction Forms ID or the Advanced pdf script id. (example most ids=template 1, while 168,4954, and seemingly random other ids=template 2) I am very confused on how netsuite resolves the hot print url as it normally doesn't include the template= part though I have seen others use it for invoice print urls.
The parameters at the end of the url (the stuff after the ?) are used by Netsuite to control settings used by the webpage which prints the PDFs for you.
In this case, &id=##### refers to the internal id of the document you are printing. You can see this by going to the document, right clicking, selecting inspect, and typing nlapiGetRecordId() into the console. When you click Print, you should see that same number after &id=#####.
&template=### refers to the template you are printing. If you go to Customization -> Forms -> Advanced PDF/HTML Templates, you'll notice a Script ID field in the table. If you substitute the correct Script ID in for the number in &template=###, you'll notice you generate the same PDF. This Script ID acts the same as the number that was previously there.
The reason you're seeing unusual results when you change those numbers is because you're mismatching a record with a template not built for it. So it won't print exactly right, but will sometimes execute anyways.
Anyways, this sort of parameter scheme is a similar scheme to how Suitelets and Restlets work, so in the future, you might experience this sort of thing again.
EDIT: For those reading this in the future, please read the comments.
To customize a packing slip and return form:
If you are printing packing slips and need some customization, you can use a custom invoice form when printing packing slips. For example, you can customize an invoice form to hide the fulfilled item tax rate and amount, and the order total. Then, when you print the packing slip using the custom form through mass print, choose the the packing slip shows the customized information.
For a given survey, how do you determine its survey_id for use with the SurveyMonkey API?
A list of all IDs is returned by the API method get_survey_list, and you could subsequently call get_survey_details on each survey to determine which one is the intended one, but that seems needlessly complicated. There has to be a way to get a survey's ID from the My Surveys page, right?
Edit:
Whoops, get_survey_details isn't actually necessary, since get_survey_list can take a fields parameter that includes the survey's title.
If you want to get the survey ID via the web page you can:
Right click on the survey in the "ALL SURVEYS" surveys view, and press "Inspect Element" or "Inspect" depending on your browser.
In the bottom of the browser, you will see a highlighted block that starts with:
<a href="/summary/...
Scroll up a few lines until you see a line that starts with:
<tr class="survey-row" id=`
The number that follows id= is the survey id, which you can then use in the API.
Nothing much to add to what Tony & Miles said, just that my UI form contains these fields:
1) An Age limit - eg the past 365 days
2) A keyword in the title - typically all the surveys for one client have that client's name in the title. Hint: if you can be organised enough to enforce a convention, and put keywords in the nickname, the nickname is what the API looks in for Title, although what the user sees is the other title.
3) A start date to get responses only after a start date - the first day may have been only a test.
4) A combobox with all the matching surveys is presented showing the title, number of respondents, date created and date recently modified, pretty much the same as what appears in the SurveyMonkey web UI. That's where they pick the one they want.

Ok so Im already an affiliate of amazon. I'm dynamically generating links based on results from their API. Im trying to put the customer in front of a permission to add an item to their cart. I have this structure as an example:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?AssociateTag=your-tag-here-20&ASIN.1=B003IXYJYO&Quantity.1=2&ASIN.2=B0002KR8J4&Quantity.2=1&ASIN.3=B0002ZP18E&Quantity.3=1&ASIN.4=B0002ZP3ZA&Quantity.4=2&ASIN.5=B004J2JG6O&Quantity.5=1
This works great as long as Im selling amazon-only products. What Im trying to do is put them in front of the lowest price for that product (items that are being sold on amazon by other people/dealers).
I already have the lowest prices etc etc. The problem is structuring the link to get them there. Do any of you know the parameters in the url that I would add or at least a list of parameters I could sift through to find what Im looking for?
Also, if theres a way to just put the item in their cart as apposed to taking them to a permission to add to cart...that would be that much better!
Thanks in advance!
Please refer to the documentation for forming an associate URL:
https://webservices.amazon.com/paapi5/documentation/add-to-cart-form.html
The "Add to Cart" form enables you to add any number of items to a customer's shopping cart and send the customer to the Amazon retail website for completing the purchase. Some parameters are optional, but you must specify quantity and at least one of the following parameters: ASIN or OfferListingId. AssociateTag is a must for attribution. You can either use this Online Amazon Add To Cart Link Generator To Easily Generate Add To Cart Link Without writing attributes by yourself or you can do this manually just like this:
"ASIN.1=[ASIN]&Quantity.1=1&ASIN.2=[Another ASIN]&Quantity.2=10"
Your final Link May Look Like This:
https://www.amazon.in/gp/aws/cart/add.html?AWSAccessKeyId=leNM%2FocHLQ%2ByqCuwtsgoza8buGoeRSlHuoDGRnlb&AssociateTag=ajaykumar9207-21&ASIN.1=B07CQ6Q52H&Quantity.1=1&ASIN.2=B07CQ6Q52H&Quantity.2=1&ASIN.3=B07CQ6Q52H&Quantity.3=1&ASIN.4=B07CQ6Q52H&Quantity.4=1&ASIN.5=B07CQ6Q52H&Quantity.5=1
I have a share button on my site.
But I need to share link with parameters, and each time parameters will be different (I need to track user who is sharing, etc.)
For example need to share link like http://mySite.com/page?userId=111&someParam=222
I can share this well, but how can I force count to work correct?
if I set
data-url="http://mySite.com/page?userId=111&someParam=222"
data-counturl="http://mySite.com/page/"
I am getting count 0 always. How to get this work?
From http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button,
"The count box shows how many times the URL has been Tweeted."
Your problem is you simply have the url and counturl mixed up. Change url to the short one, for display purposes - that's the one people will see. Use the counturl for the one with all the parameters, to ensure they go to the right place with the parameters intact.
I suspect the reason your count kept showing zero tweets is because you have a different (unique) url as your primary url each time it is tweeted, so each tweet is the first time that url (including its parameters) was shared.
Twitter now lets you send the url through data attributes. This works perfectly for me and should work for you out of the box!
The button (check out data-url):
Tweet
The twitter javascript snippet (from https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-button)
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>
I am wondering why the link to profile looks like:
http://stackoverflow.com/users/ID/NAME
not simply:
http://stackoverflow.com/users/ID
or even better:
http://stackoverflow.com/users/NAME
Can there be couple users with the same name? Or can one user have many names?
All SO-URLs are of the form id/description where the ID is unique and the description is optional. So /users/12890/arne-burmeister is the same as /users/12890/huhu and /questions/420380/why-does-the-link-to-the-user-profile-have-both-id-and-name is the same as /questions/420380/foo. The retrieval just uses the ID, but it is much better for google ranking, when the user/question/what-ever-should-be-found occurs in the URL (also for humans this is much more descriptive ;-).
By the way, retrieval by ID is faster than by such a large text string. And of course, the URL remains valid if someone changes their user name or the question.
The part after the last slash seems to be SEO related (i.e. making the url more expressive).
On the urls that I tested you could replace that part with whatever you wanted, it still worked. So the url http://stackoverflow.com/users/37086/othername still points to your profile.
I would assume doing a database lookup solely on the name string would be more expensive than a numerical lookup on the primary key, even if the name column is indexed. The name is then added on to make the URLs more user and SEO friendly.
There is a uservoice request for this. If you want this to happen, uservoice is the right place to discuss / vote up.
Your name on SO is not unique click on users and type Josh, there's a whole page of us. So you have to have the ID. As for why the name everyone else's guess is as good as mine.
Try changing or removing the name and see what happens.
I think it's just so that your URLs tell you what to expect, but the application doesn't need (or actually use) that information.
Amazon does something quite similar with their books, if I remember correctly: They've got both the ASIN (their internal ID) and the name of the book in the URL, but only ever look up the ASIN.
Just speculating: The ID allows very fast retrieval of the data the profile page presents. The name is just for humans and ignored since it's easier for me to no that you are rkj and I am phihag than that your ID is 37086 and mine is 35070.
