I know that I have seen something like this in somewhere...But no remember where.
Does somebody know what are the features of a smartphone(iphone, android, blackberry) that I can access from a Web Browser?
In some place I had see a list of links that can access different features of the phones(too many).
I mean, I know some things like:
Link Text
Link Text
Link Text
but, is it there something like:
Link Text ???? OR
Link Text ????
Thank for your answers!!
For iOS, it all works via a system called URL Schemes. Checkout this website which even builds the right link for you in HTML.

In the PWA, I would like to give a feature where it will show user's mobile number and after tapping on call button within PWA, actual mobile call should get triggered.
I couldn't find any reference or documentation for this. Please let me know how to achieve this action ?
If you want to link a phone number, it's really similar to linking a regular website:
+1 (555) 555-1234
This works for websites in general, there is nothing special about it being in a PWA.
If you want even more information about telephone links, this article is pretty good: https://css-tricks.com/the-current-state-of-telephone-links/
It's from 2016 so browser support is even better. There's a bunch of info in there about SEO and country codes as well.
I've came across this page https://www.tumblr.com/examples/share/sharing-links-to-articles.html which shows a possible way to customly create a share URL for tumblr.
Simplified version of what they have:
Click to share
http://jsfiddle.net/m5ow6bhs/2/
This will take you to the log in page or straight to the share page if you're already logged in. However, if you change the http%3A%2F%2F part to a simple http:// it will now load to a "Not Found Page". http://jsfiddle.net/m5ow6bhs/3/ What the hell Tumblr?
Do you guys have any idea what's going on or what's the correct code to share something to Tumblr?
Cheers.
As with most share services, the URL should be passed as an encoded string. This supports the OPs comments about http%3A%2F%2F(encoded) and http:// (raw).
Tumblr provides variable transformations in the theme operators to handle encoding, but sadly it doesn't work with custom variables.
One quick solution is to drop the http:// part. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/L9jd8dhz/
I have discovered as of recently that the share URL needs to be updated as such:
https://www.tumblr.com/widgets/share/tool?shareSource=legacy&canonicalUrl=<-urlencode(share_url)->&posttype=link
The &posttype= seems to be a new requirement to make the share work correctly.
As all Facebook social plugins have this feature;
Your Facebook name can be seen on the web page but when you look up in the source code you can not see Facebook name.
So I need to know why and how?
This feature may be used in order to avoid plagiarism / text content parsers.
Example:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/
Name of Facebook users do not exist in source code.
Please kindly enlighten me in details thanks...
Sure the names do exist, they're in the iFrame content. You can see the data coming to your browser on the network traffic tab of the developer tools.
Basically i'd like to put a like button on the website so that fans of the site can like the websites Facebook page.
The Like button page doesn't give me the code when i click the button, just says "Only verified developers can be added as listed developers of this application. Read www.facebook.com/help/?faq=17580 for details." Is this a common error, or?
EDIT: Using Like box now, but would prefer Like button.
And the like box page gives me the iframe and XFBML codes. Sorry for being a n00b, but how do i add either one onto my site? I've tried Insert > Script and pasted it in there, using all four script types (Javascript, JS 1.1, JS 1.2 and VBScript but they don't show in the preview. Placed the code under the 'back to top' button at the bottom of the page. Not showing up when i look at code view of the online version though?
Hopefully its something really easy and obvious, but any help would be great.
Again, site is designed/updated with Dreamweaver MX 6.0.
I dont have that much experience with Dreamweaver - but implementing the facebook social plugins (eg. Like button) is very simple. All you have to do is copy and paste the XFMBL you generate from this link. Once you paste your URL into the "URL to Like" field and click "get code" you should get the correct code to use...
You place this code wherever you want it to appear - if you want the like button to be in the footer just paste it there...
The code snippet actually loads the facebook javascript sdk and places your like button inside an iframe on your page...
You can not place the like button code inside a different element - if that were possible people could trick you into liking their page by writing some different label on the button - eg. "Back to top" :)
This should be relatively simple to implement. If you are still having dificulties - why not try opening a new HTML file containing only the required HTML tags and the like button code...
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
The error appears because, just like it says in the message, you are not a verified developer.
In order to be a verified Facebook developer, you need a verified Facebook account, with a credit card or a phone number verification.
I'd suggest you verify your account as soon as you can if you plan to use more of Facebook's plugins and apps, since it will give you full access to their developer tools
I'm adding social media buttons to my website. Facebook like, Twitter tweet etc buttons were very easy.
However I also need an email the page (or rather a link to the page) button. I have trawled the internet but cannot find a simple and good implementation.
Ideally I'd like to be able to copy some reliable code, and have the button look in the same style as the ones on this page: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6920023/testbuttons.html
If anyone has done this before I would be very glad to hear from you :)
Thanks in advance.
Why not just use the AddThis service? You simply register, provide them with your website url and then select the social media / link mechanisms you would like to use on your site. At the end they provide you with a block of HTML code to drop into your site and low and behold, the buttons and appearance you selected will be present. You can also select mechanism such as pain old email when setting it up.
An example of it in place;
Here's the link: http://www.addthis.com/
As far as i know, you will have to use Mailto: apart from doing some deep Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail API integration. That's about as good as your going to get.
You can dynamically fill out subject, body, cc fields etc using javascript/php (or whatever you are using)
