trying to create a pinterest link with javascript. It opens up pinterest, shows the correct images and description but when i click PIN IN it just refreshes and doesn't pin it.
Creating a custom link and heres a URL created that i think should be working -
http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsandbox.modernactivity.co.uk%2Findependent_02%2F%3Fattachment_id%3D743&media=http%3A%2F%2Fsandbox.modernactivity.co.uk%2Findependent_02%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F06%2FBBC%20-%20MEAT-NEW%20WEBSITE%20TEST%204%3A3%20to%2016%3A9%20cropping-743-still-150x84.jpg&description=Independent%20Films%2C%20%E2%80%98Meat%E2%80%99&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fsandbox.modernactivity.co.uk%2Findependent_02%2Fdirectors%2Fdaniel-levi%2Fshowreels%2Flive-action%2Fvideo%2F743%2F%23
Anyone know what might be wrong?
best, Dan.
Okay.. Let me start with a disclaimer. This answer might not even be right, but it did work for me. I had the same problem and my URL has lots of '+' in it.. which the URL encoded equivalent for a ' '. So, essentially pinterest seems to have a problem "pinning" them, although there seems to be no problem in rendering them...
Your URI seems to have a lot of spaces too..
so, if the URI is in your control, you may
Create the uri after URLEncoding them
Make sure that spaces and such like dont appear on the URI.
Looking through my IIS Logs I noticed that Pinterest was redirecting users to my website without a leading http:// even if specified in the address, this seems to be causing the error for me. Unsure how to fix this in IIS, but thought I'd throw you a clue I found.

I need to format this canonical URL and I cant figure out how! I've looked around the web and this site a lot and I've realized that I need a specific answer.
Problem Description:
My BLOG's desktop view has (say) URL: www.x.com/page.html
The same page in mobile view URL would be: www.x.com/page.html?m=1
Its all good and dandy to this point, but the problem comes when I use facebook comments with this. It parses url based on this: www.x.com/page.html
So, it is identifying ?m=1 in the end of the first URL as an entirely different URL.
i.e
It is treating those two URL as different
Both of them are URL for the same page and I want them to be treated the same
Could anyone provide me a way to check if the loading page is ?m=1 and if it is ?m=1 then remove the ?m=1 when sending it to facebook?
I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF THE SOLUTION IS INLINE if it is not inline, oh well, I just need a solution right now.
Current code snippet used is this:
<fb:comments colorscheme='light' expr:href='data:post.url' expr:title='data:post.title' expr:xid='data:post.id' height='110' width='560'/>
Let me break the question into small parts(incase someone is not a native speaker and wants to help/learn about this problem)
I want to detect if the loading page has ?m=1 in its URL or not. The canonical URL for this is data:post.url applied as
expr:href='data:post.url'
If a ?m=1 is detected from data:post.URL , I want to remove it and send the remaining URL into expr:href= so that both my URLs
are identified the same when my website displays facebook comments.
Click the image link below to look at this image please. This is the same URL but the
comments are being sent to me as if they're from different URLs. I
want them to appear under the same thread.
This is it--> http://i.stack.imgur.com/M7fK2.png
I haven't found this particular answer anywhere and I am hopeful that
some creative solutions will pop out in this site!
In your code
<fb:comments colorscheme='light' expr:href='data:post.url' expr:title='data:post.title' expr:xid='data:post.id' height='110' width='560'/>
Use data:post.canonicalUrl instead of data:post.url
This is the Blogger's layout tag for getting the Canonical URL of a blog post (This will always default to the blogspot.com domain, so there won't be ccTLD issues as well)
i would like to redirect www.abc.com/folder1/index.php to www.example.com/index.php what exactly happens is when i am in a sub folder like www.website.com/subdirectory1/ and i click on the home button i get taken to www.website.com/subdirectory1/index.php instead of www.website.com/index.php so i need the rewrite rules to fix the issue.
i have already started rewriting the links one by one like
redirect /content/index.php http://www.example.com/index.php
but it takes a lot of time when new links are created and i cant be changing each one of them everytime. Thank you
edit: this only happens when friendly url is turned on.
I recommend you to take a read on the official documentation it could save you many times.
Would be great if you guys could shed some light on this, has baffled me:
I was asked by a client if I could try and make the search term for his comedy night "sketchercise" put his website top of the Google ranking. I simply changed the title tag of the header for the whole site from "Allnutt and Simpson" to "Allnutt and Simpson - Sketchercise # Ginglik - Sketch Duo". It did the trick and now the site comes up top of the Google listing when typing in "sketchercise". However, it gives off this very strange link:
http://www.allnuttandsimpson.com/index.php/videos/
This is the link to the google search result too:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=sketchercise
This link is invalid, it doesn't make any sense. I guess it has something to do with the use of hash tags and the AJAX driven site, but before I changed the title tag, it linked to the site fine using the # tags. What is the deal with this slash?
The strangest part is that the valid URL for the videos page on that site is /index.php#vidspics, I have never used the word "videos" in a url!
If anyone can explain the cause of this or just help me stop it from happening, I'd be very grateful. I realise that this is an SEO question and I hate that stuff generally, but I hope you can see this is a bit of a strange case!
Just to compare, if you google "allnutt and simpson" it works just fine links to the site and all of it's pages absolutely fine as .php pages (and then my JS converts them to hash tags to keep things clean)
It's because there must be a folder called 'videos' under your hosted files, use an FTP client and check this.
Google crawls every folder and file unless you tell him not to do this, look for robot.txt files to learn how to avoid indexation.
Also ask google to remove that result when you solve this.
Finally that behaviour is not related with hash tags, these are just references to javascript in order to display the appropiate content in you webpage.
Not sure why its posted like this but the only way to stop that page from appearing is using a google webmaster account for this website and make sure the crawlers can't find this link anymore. The alternative is have the site admin put this tag, <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> , in the header when isset($_REQUEST(videos)) is true.
The slash in the address is the parsed form of www.allnuttandsimpson.com/index.php?=videos. You can have the web server change all the php parameters into slashes to make the links look pretty.
Best option for correct results is to create a sitemap and submit it to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ for that site. You will need access.
Oh forgot, the sitemap will make google see all the pages you want it to post, use this for the major pages like those in the main menu. To remove links you don't want requires a robots.txt in the main directory of the site.
One of my clients wants to disable the URL to be shown as a hyperlinked URL, it has to be recognized as plain text, this is what I have tried:
ur<!comments>l
I have also tried to remove the <a></a> tag, as well as remove "http://" of the URL, none of them worked in Outlook. Outlook still recognized it as a hyperlink.
Anybody have any workaround here?
There is a zero-width non-breaking space that I like to use:
I place it in strategic places so that the URL does not get recognized as a URL, like so: http://wwwdomain.com.
This strategy has worked for me across platforms and rendering clients. Its advantages are twofold: 1) it prevents the client from auto-rendering text as a link, and 2) unlike other "non-breaking" zero-width space ascii codes (ie ), it wraps the entire URL if your URL happens to need it (instead of just the parts after the zero-width space).
Try it out.
Credit belongs to my coworker, actually. Seems to work in all clients that we tested.
www.websitename.<img src="" width="0" height="0">com
An empty image tag with 0 width and 0 height. Insert it between the dot and the following text (in this case "com").
After we tried several things, he somehow suffered from a moment of inspiration/brilliance.
No visible spacing between the characters. Not sure what will happen if you copy/paste the string into a browser directly, though. It served my purpose of not allowing email clients to automatically make it a hyperlink, though.
This one worked for me. It is a combination of Scott's answer and David K. Hess's comment.
Break your url using <span>. However, you need to break it in a way that they are not matched as url when the mail client scans it.
eg: http<span>://</span><span>google.</span>com
You can turn off auto-hyperlinking in general. Here is a tutorial for Outlook 2007:
Turn automatic hyperlinking on or off
I have a similar issue with words like "chequed.com" and "interviewing.com" that are creating a hyperlink in my messages when I do not want it to.
The first step I took was to edit the HTML link tags.. but there weren't any.
After that, I went to the text in the email and added a very small space by using a fount of 8pt (im using an ESP, otherwise I would have gone with 1px)
This may help if you're having the same issue.
My solution for this is
http://...
I contacted Gmail's support and spoke with a department manager for Apple Care. This is expected behavior and cannot be prevented. These hacks no longer work, and if implemented could result in your IP being listed as a phishing operation. You're dancing around security issues here. I would suggest revising your content strategy.
The only thing you can do currently is wrap all email addresses in mailto links and phone numbers in tel links. There are no other options available as of 2017.
I had success with janusoo's solution for years until for some reason it began to introduce line breaks on some clients. I found that I could proceed with
www.websitename.com
You might try using CSS to re-flow the text.
<p>www.example.<span style="float:left">http://</span>com/</p>
If the part with "http://" still gets marked as a URL, try breaking things up in different places.
One other trick would be to replace the periods with some other Unicode character that LOOKS like a period but actually isn't. For example, "⠄" (U-2840) is a Braille single-dot.
Alas (!) I don't have any Microsoft applications I can test this with, but good luck with it. :)
If you use . to replace your '.' in your hyperlinks you'll solve Outlook 2007 Hyperlinking the URL.
I have a problem in a Ruby on Rails app that I am working on. I have been working on the app for months and I have never had this problem before and after a bit of Google searches I think that somehow someone is trying to steal cookies with javascript.
When I click on the link I get an alert box titled "the page at www.napkinboard.com says:" and contains the following message:
__utmz=217223433.1270652009.59.3.utmcsr=localhost:3000|utmccn=(referral)|utmcmd=referral|utmcct=/; __utma=217223433.2133018314.1265749085.1271097412.1271125626.63; __utmc=217223433; __utmb=217223433.11.10.1271125626
I checked the database and all data associated with this 'food_item' looks completely normal and does not contain any javascript at all.
How did this suddenly happen and how can I stop it? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
EDIT: Can't believe I forgot the URL: http://www.napkinboard.com/food_items/413
It sounds like you've found a link that exploits an XSS vulnerability using the query string.
Make sure to properly escape all of your output.
load up firefox and firebug, and see what the javascript and network stack trace show. That should give you an idea of where it's coming from, etc.
