Is there any way to know which facebook friend clicked on story published from my facebook app? Is possible with/without authorization?
The only thing I can really suggest trying is REFERERS. PHP have a referer 'function' which can return the website that the user last came from.
<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>
Obviously the above is a VERY basic example. But once you have done that you can loop through and see where the user came from and then add the data into a database-table or whatever you want to do with it.
This is not possible due to privacy issues. Facebook doesn't give any kind of info about what specific user viewed your profile, clicked your link, or anything of that nature.

I am new to this site and coding. I have self taught myself html and I understand css. I have been putting together a site of mine using my basic knowledge. I have no college experience but this is MY DREAM to put this site together so I have done a lot of research and read books to get started but I have hit a roadblock now. Here is what I have done:
-I have put together all of the front end pages and design using html/css. So, I have all of the pages that would be involved with the site, ready to go. All designed and have the layout how I wish it to be.
I guess I would call it the "skeleton" of the site. Any page that a user would be directed to, I have in a folder.
I have put together a little "demo" for myself to mimic a user experience. For example, I created a login page that "looks" how i want it to be but it doesnt actually store or save any logins.
This is my first question:
What is my next step? I admit it sounds stupd but I am self taught and I really have the ambition to acheive this I just can not figure out where to go from here in order to actually make a functioning site. All I have right now is my html "demo" where basically I have to follow a certain path down my site that mimics what a user would do on the site. I have it now where I click on the "sign up" button on my html form and it basically just redirects to my "new user" page. Then it is the same formula throughout the rest of my demo. I just put my other html pages I have designed into the html to sort of give a "user experience" to the demo. But I REALLY want to be able to have working accounts and saved data.
How do I create/save a user login to my site? DO i need to get a sql database? Is there a free one to use while i build the site? Honestly i really need someone who is willing to help me out with the steps in this journey without me sharing my entire site (i wish to keep it to my self) but.. i understand this is basic web stuff i just am genuinely lost as how to take it to the next level. I have all of the html done and now i need a way to actually make it work. I wish to conversate with someone please about this kink in the chain i am seeming to find myself in please. Thank you so much and I would be grateful. :)
----basically what programming languages do i need to learn, or when looking for someone to hire, what should they be skilled in? any software or sites or databases that i need? please help!!!
HTML and CSS are the languages that make up the front end of a website, like you said. In order for your website to have dynamic content (content specific to a user) and the ability to actually process logins, etc., there needs to be a server involved. A webpage is a text document that is interpreted by a browser. HTML makes up the content and CSS tells the browser how you want it to look. What you are missing, primarily, is server scripts, most commonly, in my experience, PHP. You can also include JavaScript for client-side effects.
Specific to your question about a user login, yes, you will need a database. The process should look something like this.
User visits login page
User enters information into an HTML form
User clicks submit
Form is submitted to a server URL using the 'POST' method
Server validates the form content
Server checks database for username or email (whichever you are using)
If the username/email exists, it compares the passwords
Server sends a response back to the client, either good or bad
Once the user is validated, you can redirect the user to the dashboard or user section.
Please keep in mind this is a very simplistic version of events. There are more in depth steps that need to be taken, for example, your passwords should never be stored in a database as plain text, you should use a one-way encryption (hashing) algorithm to make them unreadable. Then when a password is given to the server it should be hashed and you should compare the hashes. You can also use salts when hashing for more security. The form should use SSL to prevent man in the middle attacks, etc.
Sounds like you are off to a good start, but in order to make it work you have to add the server logic. Self-teaching will get you as far as you are willing to let it. I taught myself how to do web programming, and now I do it as a business. The Internet is a great resource. There are a ton of great tutorials online that will show you how to do everything I just laid out.
We have created a custom App using Rally SDK. We are providing link to this app in a custom field in USER story. Once we click on this link, it gets redirected to the App. Within this app, we want know from which User story it has redirected from.
For the same purpose we are making use of document.referrer. However, it only returns 'https://rally1.rallydev.com' and not the complete URL.
Based on our research, we come to know that meta tag for refferer with appropriate value has to be mentioned in the web page to get the complete URL. Which we think is not mentioned in this case.
Please correct if our understanding is wrong.
It will be very helpful if you could suggest any alternatives to achieve this.
I want to add Google +'s public posts (content) to my website.
I'm not talking about embedding The content.
It should be like Facebook's Like Box.(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-box-for-pages/)
Is it possible in Google Plus or i have to use hard coded embedded plugin ?
Thanks in advance.
I was fail to Attach image because of lack of "respect" but Hope i'm clear with my question.
Your question isn't entirely clear, but I think you might be asking for the Google+ Badges, which have similar capabilities to the Face Book Like Box. If your site has its own Page profile (or maybe create a page for your site), you'd use that type of badge. If its you as an individual that you want to display, you'd use the Person badge.
I am having a hard time solving this dilemma, and I have a feeling that it's been done a million times, I just cannot find any documentation on it. What I am trying to do:
I have a button on my site that pops open a Twitter window and allows a user to tweet a reformatted message that I have defined.
<a onclick="window.open('https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=<?php echo $_page_url?>&source=tweetbutton&text=<?php echo $tweet_message ?>&url=<?php echo $_page_url?>', '', 'height=500,width=650,modal=yes,alwaysRaised=yes resizable=1 scrollbars=1');">
<img src="/share/twitter_share.png" alt="share now" width="94" height="23" />
</a>
What I am needing is a way of tracking if this person has successfully tweeted this message and the user id or username returned for storage in a database. The reason for this is that I want them entered in this database ONCE. We are having a giveaway based on a single share/tweet, and they only get one entry per username/id.
I have tried multiple ways to retrieve the ID or username of current logged in user, mostly using the https://api.twitter.com/ to return JSON to no avail. I have also read the following:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/platform-objects/users
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/platform-objects/tweets
And am now stuck. All I need is a return for user id that I can attach to the above window. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? Thanks!
It cannot be done using this approach, at least not with true certainity. All you can do is track if 1) the window was successfully open using onclick and 2) if the window was closed (you can assume that perhaps the user completed the tweet).
You will NOT able to get ANY information from you open window via Javascript because the window is NOT in your domain (meaning, it is not on your server but on Twitter's).
What you want to do is implement this functionality in code as opposed to a javascript popup window. I have seen a number of commerical products that do exactly what you are describing.
The documentation (links) you provided refer to the REST API for Twitter (which usually works on the server) that is VERY different from Twitter's Web Intents which is client site javascript plugin, which has no similar API.
Hello and excuse me again
I have the next problem:
I am using fbgraph on ROR3. I understand that My application need permissions for to know about facebook user. So I need ask for permissions.
How could my application (facebook canvas) ask permissions from like button?
If need my code please to comment.
Thanks in advance
There are several ways to go about it, one of which is the FB.ui route, using the "oauth" method. You wouldn't necessarily use it directly from a "Like", but rather as the result of a page refresh to a non-fan-gated page or specific user action.
