Interested in trying to launch an email link where it launches Outlook and populates the recipients with the grp email account. Or something like a link to launch Notepad. I've done some looking and the best thing I've found that doesn't work is this in markup.
[Launch Notepad](file://c:/windows/notepad.exe)
Do you know if this is possible, and what is the method to do it?
If you're looking to send an email from a link, you want to use mailto: protocol links https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailto

I'm trying to make a footer, with Instagram link, Facebook link, Youtube link so on and so forth. My question is: How do I create a link that specifically refers to a state like write to an email account?
For instance, I have this email:
example#gmail.com
What I want is a link like this:
https://mail.google.com/write_to:example#gmail.com
And when someone clicks on it, the Gmail automatyli opens the "write letter tab" to example#gmail.com.
Thanks :)
Well you can't force somebody to gmail. You can use a normal link
<a href='mailto:example#gmail.com?subject=write letter>mail to</a>
This will open the users default mail app.

I have modified the user agent to be able to login to Google. When the user tries to login, he sees the following screen:
The company name I hid is clickable. Upon clicking it, there pops a small dialogue box with some Developer Info.
1) Is there any way to disable that link?
2) If not, is it possible to modify the text inside the dialogue box? Because currently, personal email id of a developer is displayed which we don't want.
Any help or relevant link would be appreciated.
EDIT:
Just like YouTube is disabled, I want my company's name to be disabled as well..
It seems that apart from YouTube no other company has this link disabled. I checked on MakeMyTrip, GoIbibo, TripAdvisor, StackOverflow and Quora. As YouTube is such a huge company, they might have got the screen customized from Google, just my hunch.
You have two options:
The best option is to create the project in a different Google account so your personal email won't show.
In the Email field on API console "OAuth Consent screen", you can select the Google group email (so create a group).
I need the functionality to allow a user to send an email to another user. It would be ideal if they get a gmail pop-up with the user's email pre-filled. However, I'm unsure how I to approach this feature.
1) Is this possible?
2) If it is. How would I go about it?
Well, assuming they have (and are signed into) Gmail, and have setup their machine to open mailto links with Gmail, just a mailto:some.guy#gmail.com link would do. You could also specify a subject by appending ?subject=This+is+a+test to the end of the mailto link.
<a href='mailto:some.guy#gmail.com?subject=This+is+a+test'>Email Some Guy</a>
I'm relatively new to Rails and would like to place a button on the admin-only part of my website that will open my company gmail account with the addresses of all of the registered users pre-populated in the 'bcc' field.
I almost have the mail_to helper working for this purpose except the mail_to link opens my personal gmail account instead of my company account.
Is there a way to use rails to trigger the log in to a specific gmail account and to pre-populate the "to" field as well?
I think, the link opens your personal gmail account just because you have it open in another browser window or tab.
AFAIK, Gmail does not allow to open different accounts in different windows at the same time. (Probably I miss something.)
Therefore, to make link open your corp account regardless of everything, the link handler should forcibly log out the current Gmail session and start a new one.
I don't think that you really want this behaviour (I mean closing the current session in such a rude way).
I have a signup form, and I wanted to make it so that they have the option of recommending this signup to all their friends in facebook.
Is there a rails API/gem for doing this?
Is there an appropriate name for this?
Thanks!
Looking at the Extended permissions documentation, you don't get access to the email addresses of a Facebook user's friends (search for email and note the second column reads not available). If that's what you're trying to achieve, it's almost certainly not possible, without the user contacting each friend and asking them to visit your app (which I would imagine would have quite a low take-up, if only through inertia).
I guess you have two options:
popup a javascript before submitting the form to prompt the user wether he wants to share it with friends. You will use the js api http://github.com/facebook/connect-js (see the dialog section). This solution would avoid doing server side connection to the facebook api
Have a look a the Facebooker gem to do a stream_publish
