So I want to create a facebook feed to connect for my facebook, from what I understand all I need is a Like Box, but when I put in what information I want on the like box it says "Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening tag." The SDK wants an "app ID", but I don't want to make an app, I just want facebook feeds to show up on my web site. Is there any way to 'not' make an app and just use the like box on my website?
Visit https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-box-for-pages while logged out. Then you won't be required to have an App ID.

I need to create a bootstrap web page that will allow the user to read a barcode from the camera.
I am using Coldfusion but I can't seem to find any resource to help read the barcode from the camera.
Ideally the user clicks a button to open the camera and read the barcode then submit it to an API.
If you are using CF for a web app, then you will have to add code to your web page to get permission to use the camera. Here is some information on that:
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/media/capturing-images/
or this:
How to access a mobile's camera from a web app?
Then you store the image in a form Input and submit it back to CF. Use the CfUpload to put the picture into a local file. After the image is received, use a library like Zxing to decode the image https://github.com/zxing/zxing
Does that help?
I want to send an image via the Whatsapp Click to Chat URL. Sending Text is easy.
https://wa.me/?text=LoremIpsum
When I click this link, it opens WhatsApp, and I can select which contact I want to send the message.
Now my question is, if its possible to also send an image through this URL. (maybe with an ?media=https://cdn.example.com/image.jpg parameter). The goal is to send an email to customers and let them click on a link so they can send an image from us to their friends.
Do I need WhatsApp Business for this? Or isn't it possible?
Thanks for any answer.
This is impossible with uri, but you can use Intents on android or use Navigator.share() method on webpages using javascript:
Android Intent: https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send
Web Share: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/share
There are similar ways for other operating systems such as iOS, Windows, ...
I am using Access 2013 with our enterprise Office 365 Sharepoint site to create a simple Access App. I'm unsure of all the terminology--the main point is that this is an Access App as opposed to a desktop application. I am wondering if there is a way to display an image on a list view, where the image source is a data field. Here's what I can do so far and where I get stuck:
I can add a picture control. I can set the picture to a permanent URL that displays just fine in the view. However, this is a permanent setting for the view of any record.
I can add a URL field to the table. It's easy to pick the URL in datasheet view, and on list view, it's difficult to change the URL, but clicking on it will pop up the image (or whatever link) in a new tab or window.
I can create a Web Browser Control. I can have this control source be the URL frame. When I look at this view using an IE browser, I get something that looks like an iFrame. However, no matter what URL I try, the content will not load.
More clarification here: Depending on whether I try Flickr or an image hosted on my own OneDrive, I get different errors. One of the errors I get (tyring to use my own OneDrive with publicly shared image) is: "To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame."
More information: If I link to a publicly shared image from Google Drive, then the Web Browser Control does in fact show the image. This is not ideal, and I'd rather be able to dynamically change the link for the Picture Control, as opposed to embedding web content.
This is where I am stuck on two avenues. (A) The Web Browser Control will not show any content (maybe this is a security setting of my institution's Sharepoint 2013?). And (B) I cannot figure out how to dynamically change the URL for the picture control. Option B may be possible with a macro, but macros in Access Apps are different than desktop version and much more limited in capability. And I'm not good at either set of macros. Thanks for any ideas!
I have a share button on my website, I understand that the link is www.facebook.com/share.php?u=myurl. And everything works fine, but how do what it says when you click it, right now it shows my website and then "Coming Soon - Future home of something quite cool"... I did try adding &t=mytitle but nothing changed. Bellow is a screenshot. Thank you.
I'll start with informing you that the facebook "sharer" has been deprecated and is no longer supported as it states here:
The Share button has been deprecated in favor of the Like button, and
will no longer be supported. Please use the Like button whenever
possible to drive maximum traffic to your apps.
And here:
What happened to the old Share button?
We deprecated the Share Button when we launched the Like button,
because the Like button improves clickthrough rates by allowing users
to connect with one click, and by allowing them to see which of their
friends have already connected.
You should use the Like or Send buttons instead.
As for the content that is being presented in the feed, you can control that by adding open graph tags to the page you wish users to share, when facebook crawls your page it extracts those tags and creates the feed story.
In order to debug and see how facebook "sees" your page you can use the Facebook Debugger which will also clear the cache facebook already has for your page.
Okay so I was wondering how the Gabtastik chat client (site-specific-browser-esque) manages to present only the chat part of Facebook, as seen here:
I'm making an app where I want to also include this functionality, but i really don't know how it is done, so i need a good kick in the right direction or some code or something.
It just loads http://www.facebook.com/presence/popout.php. I found that out by running strings on the Gabtastik executable, like this:
strings /Volumes/Gabtastik/Gabtastik.app/Contents/MacOS/Gabtastik
Unfortunately, that doesn’t exist anymore. When you launch Gabtastik now, you see this:
Facebook has XMPP access to chat that you can use… unfortunately, integrating it into an app takes much more work than showing a web page.
