I am building 360 Virtual Tour website page using software. I want to setup click-to-call using URL links, WITHOUT "tel:". Normally we would use -> a href="tel:6281234567890" HTML code. But the software requires a proper link to start with "http://" or "https://", so the software rejected "tel:" link.
Research online so far only came up with "how to build click to call link using HTML". I want to build click to call link WITHOUT HTML.
Seems like a common requirements, but nobody is talking enough about it. So, Possible?
Found another Wordpress URL Shortener plugin that asks for "http" based link too, and they do not accept "tel:" link. Any recommendations that can do this will be deeply appreciated.
Try :
javascript:window.open('tel:6281234567890')

I am searching for a best way to show WeChat profile in app after user click on link on some website.
I found some solution here but it's not working for me.
For example I tried these URIs:
link
Or in href attribute:
weixin://contacts/profile/{wechatId}
It's not working for me. After I click on this, WeChat app is opened and immediately closed. Or it show me not found error on Tips tab..
Is there some way to do it?
I think WeChat has not public profile webpage like facebook for now, you can only access other people's profile in the WeChat app by scanning a QR code or search by WeChat id/phone number. The code snippets that you mentioned above has been discarded by WeChat Official(But you may still can see it in some old official documentations).
If you still want to achieve this function, I recommend you just post your QR code in your webpage.
However, some people using the weixin:// as a bug to link WeChat to others apps. You still can generate a tickets like weixin://dl/business/?ticket=***. The *** contains your wechatid and is encrypted by some specific algorithms, which is not opened by WeChat official. And also, buying some third-part server tickets like this to get the jump link works for now but not stable.
I developed some html pages with social sharing functionalities like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn etc.
But now, I have some problem to change LinkedIn image.
To share on LinkedIn I use platform.linkedin.com/in.js plugin:
When I change image from image6.jpg to another JPG file in metatag og:image, changed image couldn't be shared.
Please help me to solve this.
Thank you.
I post this answer for the developers touch Linkedin first.
The other social sites have no problem like this.
But facebook and Linkedin have this problem, because these sites have cache and save the first scraping data in cache (especially images).
Facebook cache can be removed by manually, but Linkedin cache can not be.
Linkedin cache restore scraping data for a week, and Linkedin clean cache after a week.
During this period (one week) the page you want to change image wouldn't be shared.
Because as I write, Linkedin show old data in cache , and save it again, so you have to wait for a week.
Only way to change image immediately is to change page url also.
Thank you.
So, let's think about this. Here is your what I think is the kernel of your problem:
...When I change image from image6.jpg to another JPG file in metatag og:image, changed image couldn't be shared....
At first, when you said When I change image, I thought you meant changing it in the HTML, but now I think what you mean is you are changing it through JavaScript: i.e. $(metaelement).content(newimage);.
If this is what you mean, it will not work. LinkedIn is doing a blind, simple, non-JS activated scrape/parse/cURL of your webpage. If you try to change <title> or <meta> tags with JS, the scrape will not see it. This is true with almost every type of scraped URL, in every single search engine, for instance, like google and bing (changing your <title> via JS will not be reflected in the search result). This is just how the Internet currently works!

For example, this works for me:
https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=http://www.wikipedia.org/
See, it works fine:

Is it possible to have a fallback href?
I put an URL Scheme in a website, code below:
Tweet!
This sends out a Tweet with the app Tweetbot containing "test". If people haven't installed Tweetbot, nothing will happen clicking the link. Is there a way to do a fallback to the web version of twitter and/or different apps?
Thanks
I remember seeing similar questions regarding the tel:// URL scheme a while ago. Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible directly from a webpage, but check out this question as it may offer some useful hacks (such as using a setTimeout for if the scheme isn't present - I can't confirm that they work). My personal favorite answer there is from mrahman, who uses the Date().getTime() method so that users who do have the App won't get the message / be redirected.
I guess if your users are going to be using the functionality frequently then you could save their choice of whether to use the app or the web version.
I have made a page in html5 with css3. It works fine on local (I dont use any server, just doubleclick in the index to open it).
I want to put it in google drive. I have load all the documents needed, but when I try to open the html, I can only see the text (I mean, it is not being executing, I can see just the source code).
Any suggestion?

Host web pages with Google Drive
Note: This feature will not be available after August 31, 2016.
I highly recommend https://www.heroku.com/ and https://www.netlify.com/
EDIT: As of August 2016 Google Drive can no longer be used to host static web pages, so this solution no longer works.
Create a new folder in Drive and share it as "Public on the web."
Upload your content files to this folder.
Right click on your folder and click on Details.
Copy Hosting URL and paste it on your browser.(e.g. https://googledrive.com/host/0B716ywBKT84AcHZfMWgtNk5aeXM)
It will launch index.html if it exist in your folder other wise list all files in your folder.
I don't think it is necessary to "host" the content using the way from the accepted answer. It is too complicated for a normal user with limited developing skills.
Google actually has provided hosting feature without using Drive SDK/API, what you need is just few clicks. Check this out:
http://support.google.com/drive/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2881970
It is the same to the answer of user1557669. However, in step 4, the URL is not correct, it is like:
https://drive.google.com/#folders/...
To get the correct host URL. Right click on the html file (you have to finish 1-3 steps first and put the html in the public shared folder), and select "Details" from the context menu. You will find the hosting URL right close to the bottom of the details panel. It should look like:
https://googledrive.com/host/.../abc.html
Then you can share the link to anyone. Happy sharing.
Now you can use
https://sites.google.com
Build internal project hubs, team sites, public-facing websites, and more—all without designer, programmer, or IT help. With the new Google Sites, building websites is easy. Just drag content where you need it.
While drive allows you to edit plain text and HTML files I don't believe they allow the HTML to actually be displayed. I don't think they want people hosting websites from their drive space.
A lot of the solutions offered here do not seem to work anymore. I'm currently on a chromebook and wanted to view an HTML5 banner. This seems impossible now through Google Drive or other apps (as mentioned in previous comments).
The method I ended up using to view the HTML5 was the following:
Open Google Adwords (create a free account if you dont have one)
Click on Ads in the top panel
Click on "+AD" and choose image ad
Choose "upload an ad"
Drag and drop your zip file into the area
Click on Preview
Voila, you will see your HTML5 banners in their full beauty
There may well an easier way, but this way is pretty good too. Hope it helps and worked well for me.
Create a new folder in Drive and share it as "Public on the web."
Upload your HTML, JS & CSS files to this folder.
Open the HTML file & you will see "Preview" button in the toolbar.
Share the URL that looks like www.googledrive.com/host/... from the preview window and anyone can view your web page.

I have a WordPress blog account already (abc.wordpress.com). And I have my own web site: www.xyz.com
I would like to integrate my WordPress blog content into my own site. Hopefully something like blog.xyz.com or just replace the home page of xyz.com with abc.wordpress.com
I know that I can download WordPress' code from wordpress.org and run my own WordPress. And having my own MySQL database, but WordPress is always releasing new code. I don't have the time to keep updating the source on my end to match it.
I'm running my own site as a hobby, so I prefer to let WordPress.com to manage the content for me and continue reuse my own blog at abc.wordpress.com, but make the content show up in my own site: xyz.com
I hope I was clear when explaining this.
Anyone knows a way to do this?
Thanks.
If your main worry is about the updates, I would say don't be. A simple click of the 'Updates' button in the wordpress admin is all you need to do in order to apply the updates for wordpress. A notification will pop up alerting you of any updates.
And as Calle has already mentioned, you can retrieve your content via RSS, or you could just export your current content from Wordpress.com, import the content into your own site, and manage it there. Everything would be in one spot.
Good Luck.
I don't know how good you are with programming but there's a PHP library called Simple Pie which would help you retrieve your content via RSS (which Wordpress automatically generates for you). The adress is here: http://simplepie.org/
If you are not very good with programming, perhaps you can get someone to do it for you or find a script which is already written somewhere. I do think RSS is definitely the best way to go.
I also think you exaggerate the problems of hosting Wordpress yourself. It's not something that you have to keep updated with, and if you want to, all you have to do is log in from time to time, perhaps once a month (how often are you writing articles?), and click "update" and Wordpress will do everything for you. Both for your plugins and WP version.
For the ability to use your own domain (xyz.com) and have wordpress redirect users from abc.wordpress.com(your wordpress blog) to your domain requires a premium account.
If you have a premium account then you can just log in to wordpress.com, click 'upgrades' and select 'domains'. From there you will see the option "Map an Existing Domain" and you will want to enter your domain here. Now your wordpress.com blog is what will show when users enter your domain's url (xyz.com).
Alternatively, if you need a workaround with a free wordpress.com account then you want to just embed your blog and for that you will need to use an RSS feed. Note: this method will not maintain your wordpress styles it will merely transport the content. Also by default not all browsers support RSS feeds.
You can view your blog's current feed by adding 'feed' to the end of your wordpress.com url, i.e. abc.wordpress.com/feed. You can read more about feeds here (http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/). Now you are just left with the task of figuring out how to embed the feed into your page.
One final hail-mary you might attempt is just redirecting your domain to your blog. Reference on how to do this different ways here: (http://css-tricks.com/redirect-web-page/). Example, place this tag in the section of your domains pages:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='http://google.com'" />
(this will redirect after 0 seconds to the specified url)
