Redirect to page depending on user input - html

On the website (http://bread.org.nz/teams) users pick the team they want to donate to (using paypal). How can I redirect to a webpage, depending on who they donate to, so I can give options like "share on facebook that I voted for team 'x' "?
thanks

I see you're using item_number but I think that's being deprecated. Now, you can include custom variable in your donation link and when it posts back to you (callback), that custom variable will be included in the data.
Your donation LINK may look something like this
...&item_name=RALLY+TEAM+DONATION&custom=I+PICK+TEAM+1&currency_code=NZD
If this doesn't work, then I think you should achieve it with a custom made solution which of course isn't much reliable.
So, your donation links on the buttons may look like this example.com/donate.php?team1. From there, you can get information of Team 1, set a PHP session say $_SESSION['team_chosen'] = 'team1'.
Now, on the callback page, you can check team in the session and decide further.

How to stop user post Adult Content URL

I built a form where user post urls of different categories of website. I did some validation that user only post url at right format. I also want to filter the adult urls or i want to stop the user to not post Adult urls. For submit the form there is no login or logout options. No signup required to post the urls. Any idea how to do this .?
i will suggest you use if statements to check if user codes content words like porn, xxx, pornhub etc...
you need a lot of listing if you you actually want to do it my way.

Conditional contact formula (in Wordpress)

I've Googled around for about an hour, without luck.
I'm trying to build an advanced contact formula i a Wordpress environment. The contact formula should do this:
At first, there should only be a single dropdown-menu available, like this:
Option1
Option2
Option3
If 'Option1' is selected, then some information should be shown, and then another dropdown-menu is shown, as such:
Option4
Option5
Option6
If 'Option2' is selected, then it should again show some information, but then show three other options, like this:
Option7
Option8
Option9
And so on. Many survey-formulars are built in this way - but I need to make it, to make a support-site for some different products.
I tried Googling for Wordpress-plugins, but without any luck (I must admit, I'm unsure of, what I should search for). I've used Wufoo-formula's before, but it doesn't appear to me, that Wufoo has that option.
How is this made the easiest and the best? Hand-coding it using HTML, javascript and CSS? Or are there a cool online-tool that I'm unaware of?
I had the same problem and made some research, which ended up in some results.
1. Buy the required functions
If you have a great number of forms to create and the money to invest, you could use something like Ninja Forms and buy the Conditional Logic plugin. With this you can create multiple forms and connect their elements with the needed criteria to show or hide them or to change their values.
https://ninjaforms.com/extensions/conditional-logic/
2. Code the form
Actually we have only one form we use. This is the reason, because I decided to save my money and did it myself.I expanded our wordpress theme by another page template and created the form that fits our needs in it. After that I added the PHP code to send the form via email on the top and the JavaScript code for the conditional logic on the bottom of my php file. In Wordpress I created a new page and applied the newly created page template.
I'm not sure if this is best practice, but for me it was an easy way to achieve my goal and save some time.
Best regards

og:title doesn't correpond with the one I set

I have a question regarding the meta property in php.
I have set
and I have a list of products that need to be displayed on the first page. Whwn I click the first product and click the like button the title that appears is different from the one I set, but when I click the other products and then click like I get the correct title. I tried clearing the cache but it didn't work and I tried verifying the link using http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug and here it teels me that the title is the one I set.
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong or what might be the problem? Or maybe you have a soultion for this. :D
Thanks!
Without seeing the page which is being changed and liked, it's hard to know if I am answering your question, but the information may be useful to you anyway.
The issue may be with how many likes have already added up for the page.
Note that og:title and og:type are only editable initially - after
your page receives 50 likes the title becomes fixed
Source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/
This has happened to me before. The easy fix/workaround I found was this: I had been appending a query string to the page URL for tracking some stats. That URL with the query string had over 50 likes. Once I changed the query string, or left it off, the page had a different amount of likes. So when I used the Facebook linter/debugger, I used the new URL and it picked up my og:title and description change.
Are you able to post a link to the page you are having this issue with?

How to count retweets

I am trying to create a flash retweet button, and i want to know how to count the retweets for a specific status. Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
Have a look at the Twitter API documentation on retweets.
Here's an example:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/retweets/16208928355.json
Just finish with id.format.
I just thought I should add (from the Twitter API Retweet documentation):
statuses/retweets
Returns up to 100 of the first retweets of a given tweet.
So it looks like there is a limit of 100. There is also rate-limiting on this part of the Twitter API:
API rate limited (about rate limiting):
1 call per request
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Rate-limiting
Sorry to provide a problem and not a solution. To get around this you might be able to use Tweetmeme with the Tweetmeme API:
http://www.webmaster-source.com/2009/11/23/count-your-retweets-with-the-tweetmeme-api/
This would only work if you had some sort of URL in the Tweet (e.g. a shortened bit.ly URL). Sorry I have misunderstood this.
As an aside, I am looking at using this approach to allow website users to Tweet a particular bit of content from a page (similar to using the page meta-tags with Facebook Open Graph 'Like' buttons):
http://ejohn.org/blog/retweet/
So I guess what I'm advocating for is tracking the shortened link as a method for tracking retweets, and also as a means of tracking 'tweets' from a landing page. Has anyone done anything similar to this?

Cloaking url but keeping sub-urls

I have a dot-tk (www.dot.tk) domain that redirects to a blog of mine.
But I have a problem. If a visitor of the blog who have entered through the tk-redirection, navigates to a specific post or even follows a link that leads elsewhere, then the URL-bar doesn't change to reflect the change. It always show the tk-address only. I want sub-urls to be visible so that the visitor can copy and send the url of that post to a friend or even bookmark the specific post.
This does works well if the reader has entered the blog from the normal url.
One "solution" to this would be to put this code in the blog:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">if (top!=self) top.location.href=self.location.href;</script>
</head>
With this code the real url will always be seen, not the tk-url, even if the visitor have entered through the tk-url.
This works, but preferably I would like to show the tk-adress AND the sub-urls, if possible.
In other words...
Instead of http://myblog.blogspot.com it should be www.myblog.tk (this works)
And instead of http://myblog.blogspot.com/blogpost5 it should be www.myblog.tk/blogpost5 (This is what I need help with, if it's possible somehow)
I hope I've made myself clear and I hope there's a solution to it.
Thanks in advance!
I think you don't want to use this redirection scheme. Instead use Blogger's custom domain name functionality.
