As the title says, I need some keywords to trigger the captcha page on www.pastebin.com (in order to test this unofficial api i made), I just don't know how to trigger it. I remember I have triggered it in the past, but i don't remember what i was pasting when i did.
I have tried generic stuff like urls (even 4chan /b/ urls), and stuff like BUY FREE BITCOIN HERE {url} but that didn't seem to work either.
I even went to my email spam folder to try some real spam, but real spam like IM HORNY 19YO LOOKING FOR YOUR CREDIT CARD BLAH BLAH didn't seem to trigger the filter either.
Anyone knows how to trigger it?
try some external links like https://someweb.xyz
this will trigger for sure from my experience

So, I've spent about 2 hours trying to get the I'm Feeling Lucky URL to work. It seems the URL doesn't like the periods in the search parameter, so does anyone have any potential tricks?
Search Value= 40.840.1/8Z
The first result in a regular Google search is the correct page.
Here's what I've tried:
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I&q=40.840.1/8Z
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I&q=40.840.1%2F8Z
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I&q=40%2E840%2E1/8Z
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I&q=40%2E840%2E1%2F8Z
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I&q=40%2F840%2F1%2F8Z
(That one was actually pretty close)
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I&q=40%20840%201%208Z
And all of the above surrounded in quotes (%22)
The problem is that the I'm Feeling Lucky aspect doesn't work. It finds the correct results, it just doesn't navigate to the first result. I'm open to alternatives besides the I'm Feeling Lucky URL parameters as well.
I'm trying to implement this into a .NET application that provides employees with resource information, which is best received from the manufacturer's website(s). The trick is that the resources are from many different suppliers and the links need to be somewhat automatic. Basically I don't whomever manages the software to update these links. To navigate, I'm simply using the Process.Start("http://www.example.com/") command which uses the default browser to navigate to the address.
This post helped a lot by the way.
I wasn't able to get any closer than your closest one.
But if it helps, here's an alternative way of writing the "I'm feeling lucky" URL.
http://google.com/search?q=haimer+usa+40%2F840%2F1%2F8Z&btnI
What I did to find the right url is to navigate to google.com. After this I turned my internet connection off. I entered the search details and pressed submit. You can now see the url in the address bar, but it doesn't redirect you to the first result. You can now copy the url and see how google treats your dots and other weird characters.
So to recap:
Go to google.com
Turn your internet connection off
Enter search term
Press 'I'm feeling lucky'
Copy the url from the address bar
You can create a google custom search engine of your own, and either exclude certain sites or include specific sites only, use http://cse.google.com to do this.
There is a SO tag for google custom search
I am currently working on a Flattr plugin for a popular open-source RSS reader (tiny tiny RSS).
I am using the lookup API for the first time and am unsure why I am getting mixed results.
So I'm unsure if I use the API correctly and want to confirm with you experts if I got something basic wrong.
First, let's see if I can come up with an API call that looks up a thing successfully. I look at the Flattr page of thing 1066706 (I can't post the whole URL here as SO only allows me two URLs for this whole post). On that page, I find the official URL which Flattr stores for that thing and look that up with the API:see here
This returns {"type":"thing","resource":"https:\/\/api.flattr.com\/rest\/v2\/things\/1066706", ... so that's good.
But it seems this method is not a sure way to test if things exist. Here is an example that doesn't work: I open the Flattr page of thing e7579b349cb7b319b28d883cd4064e1e.
That URL I find on that page is indeed the URL of that article and I don't see any other URL it might have. I look that up in the same way as above:check this
Alas, I get {"message":"not_found","description":"No thing was found"}
(I also tried both of these with encoded URLs, but got the same result. I figured this is easier to read for you.)
So, why would that second thing not be found? Thanks for any enlightenment.
The id "e7579b349cb7b319b28d883cd4064e1e" is not a real thing id but a hash that identifies a temporary thing for a not yet submitted thing - it's part of Flattr's autosubmit functionality: http://developers.flattr.net/auto-submit/
So the system is very correct in telling you that a thing for that URL doesn't exist - someone would need to flattr that thing for it to become submitted for real and created in the system with a real id to it.
(Just for reference - for some URL:s, like Twitter URL:s, Flattr can actually answer that the URL is flattrable even though it can't find it in the system: {"message": "flattrable", "description": "Thing is flattrable "} That way you can now that it is possible to flattr that thing without you having to use any kind of flattr-button/url supplied by the author to be able to flattr the URL)
Also - if you don't know it yet then for a RSS reader you should primarily be looking for rel-payment links to find out whether an entry is flattrable or not, see http://developers.flattr.net/feed/ and http://relpayment.com/
I haven't seen this scenario covered here:
Yii Framework: How to work with Flash Messages.
So, after user registration, I wish to redirect the user to a thank you page where he/she could read more about what he/she should do, and what would happen next. It's a nice amount of information, so adding that message to an already existing page is not an option, because it would get to noisy. Making temporary displaying msg isn't an option neither, because it's a fair amount of text to be read.
On cases like this:
Should we still use flash messages and use a conditional so that what normally exists on the page stays hidden while display a success flash message ?
OR
Should we simply redirect to a given thank you view (by creating the respective thankyou action?)
Is there a better option?
You could use a flash message. But these are really for things like "Your account is now created".
If you want to include a good amount of information, I think it best to have a separate thankyou action/view that people are redirected to after the sign up process is complete.
I am developing an analytics product similar to Google Analytics and want to offer an integration for our Shopify users.
I would need to do just two things:
1) Insert our JavaScript snippet into the body of all the shop's pages
2) Insert a second conversion snippet into the body of only the "thank you" page after a purchase to record the sale, passing back the order total and order number
Could you point me in the right direction?
The ScriptTag endpoint looks optimal except that it doesn't seem to provide any way to differentiate between the "thank you" page and other pages, or to pass the order details from the "thank you" page into the script.
It seems like I either need an endpoint that can inject arbitrary code into all pages, or one which lets me alter the theme layout file to add code before the </body> tag.
If I can do that much, it looks like I might be able to use a conditional in the templating language to only show the conversion code if the URL matches the "thank you" page URL, and use {{ total_price }} and {{ order_number }} in that code.
Does the uninstall webhook allow me to make changes before the rights for the app are revoked? It seems like I would need a way to clean up at uninstall to remove my code from the theme, if I'm allowed to edit the layout file.
itThere are two ways you can go about this:
ScriptTags: You're already aware of this method. It's true that the script is loaded into each and every page, but you can look at document.url in your js to figure out which page you're on and conditionally execute code based on that.
Scripts inserted this way are executed during the 'onLoad' event. At that time you have access to the DOM and can do basically whatever you want with the page.
Snippets: Using the Assets endpoint you can make arbitrary changes to the user's theme. Be careful with this power! The recommended way to make complex changes to a page is to create a custom snippet in the theme with your additions and then tell the user to insert an include tag into their code where it needs to appear. This reduces clutter in the main theme files.
I'd recommend using ScriptTags wherever possible. As mentioned below, they don't need cleaning up and remove the need for user interaction when setting up the app.
--
As for the uninstall webhook: It is fired after the app has been uninstalled from the shop, so you no longer have access. It's designed to be used to trigger cleanup on your end (remove db entries, etc.). Note that ScriptTags and Webhook subscriptions are automatically cleaned up, but any changes you've made to the theme aren't
You ask a lot of questions in one posting.
For your #1 and #2 read:
http://api.shopify.com/scripttag.html
Secondly, for your app install/uninstall read:
http://api.shopify.com/webhook.html
Pay attention to the part about app/uninstalled since you're interested in that.
As for knowing when someone installs your App, that is really up to you to figure out. Should not be too hard since you probably read about how to make and App in the first place. Shopify provides lots of boiler plate code on github that can show you almost everything you asked here.
You have to have a form on your website for people to send an email to a friend if they found something interesting. You can force people to be logged in (which is not a good option in my case). You can make time delay (this is not really urgent email, so it can wait for 5 minutes). Do you have this problem? How would you solve it?
Edit: I am mostly interested in stopping manual spam
Do you have a problem with automated scripting of your form, or people genuinely using it too much?
The simple solution to the bot problem is a Captcha, such as ReCaptcha. The user-friendliness is questionable, but it would perhaps solve your problem.
You can also use something different from all those captcha scripts. Let me tell you what I do:
- I create a md5 hash:
$secretWord='TryToHashMe';
$formID='myForm';
$md5Value=md5($secretWord.$formID);
echo '<input type="hidden" name="form-check" value="'.$md5Value.'">';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="bot-check" value="">';
those are 2 very simple ways because: 1) auto bots try to fill all your inputs and 2)the hash is not provided, this mean you have a post request from outside your site. The hashing could be extended with some session or cookie, too.
All the best!
I would recommend a Captcha or if you would like something a bit less intrusive, have a simple math problem(which changes) so you just have something like:
For spam protection: Type what Two Plus Two is here _________
I did this on my personal website and never had a problem(and I had a lot of attempts that failed by spambots)
This service has very good anti-spam measures.

FYI, I am involved with the company, so I'm not entirely unbiased, but we do get a lot of refugees who come to us to end their spam problems with other services or downloaded scripts.
Edit:
If you feel the need to vote down, perhaps you should leave a comment too...
The best solution is to use an all-purpose bot filtering solution. I know this is an old post, but a new botnet was discovered that uses these send to a friend modules to send spam (not a new technique but some interesting new advancements).
According to one security vendor (good tips), “At a minimum, they should include a rate-limiting mechanism that will prevent an IP address from issuing unreasonable numbers of requests over a specific period of time. Other DIY solutions are to have all users fill in CAPTCHAs and to enforce registration as a prerequisite to sending out an email message.”
