Good Afternoon all,
I've hit a major rock at the moment in developing my e form. Just to give you a brief I've designed a e form for delivery drivers to scan barcodes of items and get receipients to sign off deliveries out in the field.
I currently have the option to navigate using the using
I have the function at the moment to send sms which is < a href:"sms+44111111;?&body=Hi">Send Message works perfectly, however, I want to send the message without the user opening the messages on the android phone.So once they click send message, it essentially does, without viewing it prior? Is this just an add on to this code? I can't seem to find any answers on the web?
Any help on this matter is much appreciated
Software, that can send text messages (SMS) without allowing the user to review and potentially cancel them is malware. I assume, this is not what you want to develop.
The usual options are:
Send the message from the server via a suitabe SMS gateway (either a commercial API or roll your own)
Allow the user to review and potentially cancel the SMS (i.e. make it non-mission-critical)

We have service where all user interaction is done via texting (iMessage) using Sendblue. We want users to be able to refer their friends to get free credits. The easiest way we can think of would be giving that user a link to send to their friends, which, when opened, would auto-populate a message to our number, the content of that message being the referring user's number. Example:
I (phone number +1234) want to refer my friends. I send them a link, which when they click, opens a text message to +4321 (the service) with the text prepopulated with my phone number, "+1234".
Right now the entire service is run through Zapier, so ideally would be able to work through that. You can also enter Javascript blocks into Zapier to manipulate data if that would help.
The only solution I have been able to come up with so far is create a different webpage for every person's phone number, which would just be a custom html link with the above that would be clicked automatically on page open.
Is there an existing service that does this (and ideally works with Zapier)? Or would I have to do what is described above? If so, what is the easiest way to integrate that data? Is there a way to automate webpage creation?
Any and all help is appreciated!
TLDR: Is it possible to email a login button which will open a web page and enter the appropriate user information into the username/password fields? Is it possible to embed this within an HTML button, or possibly in SQL injection? If so, where should I start my research to make this happen?
OK, so what I am tasked with is generating the billing lists for about 2000 non-technical users. Currently we use a third party billing site which does not have an API or any way to authenticate users from the URL heading. What we have been doing is using mail-merge to email users their username and password along with a link to the billing site. This is great, except that our users are... special. We get dozens of phone calls a day from elderly users who can't copy/paste the given information into the website.
What I am looking for is someone to point me in the right direction for making an email click here button that will open the web page, enter the username and password (from a CSV/XML of usernames/passwords) and click enter.
I'd even settle for opening the webpage with their credentials filled into the appropriate fields. Is there a way to do this? What is the best way to go about this?
Before we get into best practices/security, CC information isn't stored on the site, and the only user info view-able is the invoice, so security isn't a huge concern here since the users can't set their own passwords (username / password generated from static fields in another database silo).
Not looking for someone to do this project for me, but perhaps a few friendly pointers in the right direction for how to do this.
Is it possible to email a login button which will open a web page and enter the appropriate user information into the username/password fields?
Not unless either:
The website is specifically designed to allow that. Since you said it was a third party side, then you would have to ask the people who wrote it.
The site suffered from an XSS security vulerability. (Explaining how to search for one would be too broad for a SO answer, searching for one would be illegal pretty much everywhere).
I have a legacy website that has been hosted n running fine
. Now I want to send email notification with date and time, when user visit that site. I don't have the source code. Is it possible to send email without actually needing the source code. Any help would be appreciated. If u can show me the direction, u r a life saver. Thank you for your time.
Do you know about Google Analytics? It wont send you email notification but it tracks and reports your website traffic. It also has a real time reporting API enables you to request real time data — for example, real time activity on your website.

It's very easy to setup.
I'm working on a feature for a client to send them email updates whenever a specific event occurs on their site. When the message shows up in Gmail, the messages get grouped together in conversation view even through they aren't the same conversation. It appears that this is due to the fact that Gmail groups based only on the subject. The client is adamant that we not change the subject line (don't get me started).
Does anyone know how I can disable this by sending a special header in the mail or am I out of luck?
There appears to be no way to prevent this, short of turning off conversation view (have you considered that?).
My guess is that Gmail is actually threading based on its own Thread-Topic header field, which it adds (overwriting any value you pass; it just copies the Subject field) - there's no way of telling, though, unless you can change that field after the fact. Which leads to the suggestion of writing an IMAP application to download the message, edit the headers, and re-upload it again. You'd need to investigate the feasibility of this, though.
I'm new to AJAX and PHP but I know that PHP is a server-side scripting language and so there will not be any changes to the html unless the user refreshes the page or the user submits a form. Therefore I suppose the change of the number in <span id="mercurymessagesCountValue"> when a facebook user receives a message
is AJAX-related.
And this is my guess:
The change of the number is triggered when it is detected that another user [the sender] has inserted a new row into a particular table and each column contains different data: the time, the message, the sender id and the receiver id.
So here's my question... In this case, how is the changes in the database detected and how does it trigger a javscript [or something else] to make changes to the html? Or if I'm wrong... can I know how Facebook does that? Thanks very much!!
If I got the question right, you should check out about pull and push models. Facebook works under the push model: facebook server knows when new message is received and it pushes the notification to the client (website open in the browser).
Let me clear a few things up for you here,
AJAX is simply a type of request being sent by the browser to go grab data from another page dynamically. In facebook's case, they actually have a special type of connection to the client computer to keep the page 'alive'. This way, they can push dynamic updates to the client without the need to constantly poll/refresh a single page on the server (would make large amounts of load).
So, let's just pretend, they are constantly refreshing the page on the server to determine how many notifications are unread -
Client -> Ajax Call -> Server PHP Page -> Ajax Return -> Client
So, in order, the client sends a request for the page to be generated by the server.
The server's php page will then count the number of 'unread' notification rows in the database for that particular user. It will then output the number of unread rows in plain html.
The client then recieves this plain HTML from the Ajax call, and simply updates the DOM with the new number of unread notifications
PLEASE NOTE: This is not how facebook works, but it's a good example of how to set up your own basic notification system if you are new to dynamic coding.
My guess is that requests are sent frequently from the client via Javascript, to the host, asking "has anything new happend since last time i asked?". The answer is responded by the server, with PHP, if it is yes, the new data is delivered in the respond and JavaScript updates the DOM (HTML) with the new data, like showing the red flag or something.
javascript:location.load(t);
(t=time interval)
i guess ,, refreshing a page in every several seconds will pop up the notifications recieved..!!
