I'm working in a Rails 3.1.8 app and I'm having a problem creating a Twitter share button that produces the text I want. Here is the erb code for the button:
Tweet
This button appears on a page that contains content produced by a particular user. Let's call the user "sam". The text this code produces to be shared on Twitter is:
[some_text] [url of current page] via #sam
I would like to remove the "via #sam", but I cannot figure out how. If I explicitly set data-via I can change the user that the "via" phrase refers to, but I cannot make it disappear.
This support page suggests that omitting the data-via tag should do the trick, but I have found that it does not.
I've searched around the app to try to find a place where this parameter is being set, but I haven't found anything. However, as I'm pretty green with Twitter stuff, I may not be searching for the right thing.
Thanks in advance for your help, and do let me know if I can provide additional info.
ADDENDUM: I've tried add setting data-via to various values, including false, "false", and "", as well as appending ?via= and analogous values to the share URL. Each of these attempts resulted in a bogus via phrase (e.g. "#false"), or a default to "#sam".
Maybe you have an old version of the Javascript being included or cached.
Taking examples from https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-button works as expected when omitting the data-via attribute.

I'm using hubot with the hubot-slack adapter.
I have a very long url that I'd like to write to the chatroom, and would like to display it as a link.
From this:
http://magnum-ci.oak.domain.com:8080/job/nick_test_success_build/44/console
To this:
Click here to view the console out
I'm using:
res.send "http://magnum-ci.oak.domain.com:8080/job/nick_test_success_build/44/console|link"
I haven't tried this recently with Hubot, but note that it doesn't work as a user.
Slack's docs make it look like you can use "labels" to display friendly URL names. See the last example on this page https://api.slack.com/docs/unfurling
You may be able to send the text
<http://mylink.com|Show this>
in a message and get the desired results.
I tried this a long time ago and don't remember if it worked.
#mshish is right, <http://mylink.com|Show this> should be the way to go.
You can test the output of your link using the Message Builder.
Unfortunately it looks like this is not currently supported by the hubot.

I'd like to create an index view which shows a list of items followed by a 'view in app' button to download data directly into the app.
Solution 1. [Not a sulution] I think deepviewcta call is appropriated to use in a single product page. It doesn't look like suitable in my case, because it has to call deepview before calling deepviewcta.
Solution 2. I'm trying to construct the URL directly using 'dynamic' deeplink. The documentation says any additional query param appended will shows up in the initSession callback, but it doesn't work for me.
the construct link looks like this:
https://bnc.lt/a/key_test_kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk?has_app=yes&channel=character&my_list_id=0c56c4bc-fac9-412a-be19-c0feefe30d29
what I got in the callback only has following data
"+clicked_branch_link" = 0;
"+is_first_session" = 0;
in the callback, other params are just missing, I got:
url NSURL * #"my-app://open?link_click_id=197576253652400385" 0x00007fad90d47450
Any Other Solutions?
It turns out I was using live key in ios App while using test key in server end. So solution 2 works now.
Also for anyone want to do the same thing. For regular Branch Links, it is not possible to stay on the same page as the Branch link was clicked from. they suggest adding a $after_click_url to the Link's data. This key will tell the system to route to a particular web address after the Branch Link has been clicked.
Thanks for branch.io's support, they responded very quickly.
I'm trying to use the highlighting feature on Webmaster tools. I got done filling it out for my page, but when I go and try to create the page set, it doesn't find any files matching the pattern.
The default pattern that google chose is:
http://www.example.com/*/*/*/*
That's not good enough because that's everything on my site.
What I want is this:
http://www.example.com/Team/Schedule/*/*
It can't find this. The first asterisk is just the id, and the second * is the name associated with that id.
I tried adding this:
http://www.example.com/Team/Schedule/*
It can't find anything here either.
This DOES work
http://www.example.com/Team/*/*/*
So, why doesn't the pattern that I want get recognized? I've even tried copying and pasting in the "Team/Schedule" portion to make I didn't misspell, but that still doesn't work.
Edit:
the "template" path that I used for the highlighting looks like this:
http://www.example.com/Team/Schedule/105/Bears
And similar pages would be:
http://www.example.com/Team/Schedule/52/Vikings
This was a result of Google containing an old cached version of my page structures. I had just recently updated the structure, and Google had not re-crawled to get those changes.
I've searched a lot to try and solve this problem, but I'm not quite sure what to search for. I didn't really manage to find anything.
Essentially I'm working on a website in which users can register for an event. However, if the user is not logged in, I need to redirect them to the registration screen. This much I've been able to accomplish without much difficulty. However I need to redirect back to the event that they attempted to register for.
My real problem is that the URL of the page I need to return to contains an a parameter, and I'm not sure how to make the registration page take that parameter into account when it redirects back.
Currently when an anonymous user tries to go to
http://[...].com/drupal/?q=civicrm/event/register&id=6
I have it redirect you to
http://[...].com/drupal/?q=user/register&destination=civicrm/event/register&id=6
However, once the form is submitted the "&id=6" is not taken as part of the destination parameter, which means you just go to.
http://[...].com/drupal/?q=civicrm/event/register
Which is not a valid page.
Is there a way for me make the destination parameter include "&id=6"?
On a whim I've also tried.
[...]destination='civicrm/event/register&id=6'
[...]destination="civicrm/event/register&id=6"
[...]destination=civicrm/event/register#id=6
You need to url-encode the value for your destination. Try this:
[..]destination=civicrm/event/register%3Fid%3D6
%3F is hex code for question mark (?), %3D is code for equals (=).
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):
