Embed user entered phone number to url - html

I am new to this forum and I am almost complete novice with HTML coding
My requirement is as below.
I just found out that my VOIP provider has a feature called Dial By URL and it works as it sounds
Sample URL
https://soho66.co.uk/url_dial.aspx?f=1000027806&h=87EF4366186C4E4A5F4A705&t=0123456789
I would like to use this feature in my joomla website by asking the user to input their phone number, recaptcha verification and press Call Now button to establish the connection.
As you can see in the above link the last 10 digits are the phone numbers.
Can anyone help me to achieve this please?
Please let me know if you need any further information.

Your question is a bit vague. You really need to do some research into joomla components to get you started.
Have a look here http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_simple_component_-_Part_1 or google search 'joomla component'

Calling Instagram 'www.instagram.com/explore/tags/{tag}/?__a=1' returns Instagram Login Page

I have used the https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/" + Tag + "/?__a=1 to fetch some posts information related to a specific tag. I do not know what is the problem exactly, but used to my code worked properly, and now as output I have Instagram login page. I would appreciate if anybody could help me in this regard.
def get_ig_page(url):
contents = request.urlopen(url).read()
return contents
I could also reproduce the behavior, but an easy solution is not available.
I have read this: "... the new Instagram Graph API, integrated now inside Facebook Graph API, introduced a new so-called Hashtag Search API which replaced the former Instagram Tag Endpoint."
The API was deprecated a year ago and was apparently working until now. You might need to update to the new Facebook Graph API, but I am not sure.
The new hashtag search seems to be what you need to use now.
You also might be able to use the instagram basic display API.
P.S. Happy to learn about something else if anyone finds an alternative.
I faced the same issue. The problem is if you hit the explore tags API too frequently, they put a kind of ban on your IP for some time which redirects you to the login page.
However, the good part is that it gets lifted automatically between 24-48 hrs as it did for me.
I hope it gives a sigh of relief :)
PS: I hit this API more than 1k times in an hour to fetch 100k posts and it worked pretty fine.

How to access entered username using selenium in Chrome

I am automating website filling in Chrome browser using Selenium.
For the first time user will enter username, date of birth manually. Now my requirement is when user opens my application for next time I want to enter the name and D.O.B using code.
Previously I was using Internet Explorer and there I had beforenavigate event which will inform me that user is going navigating to other URL. So I used to read the required fields and save it in my database.
How to do this in Selenium or Chrome driver ?
WebElement.getAttribute('value') can be used to get the value, but how to know that user has entered the values to that field ?
Please help me.
You are trying to fill in a login form for users using Selenium. This is impossible. For this I'd recommend cookies. How to do this depends on the language the website is written in. I'd suggest you do some research on how to do this in your applicaton. If you have questions about this you can make a new post here explaining the details of your application and the issue you are facing.
The reason this does not work in Selenium is that you will need to start a Webdriver to use this. When a user navigates to your website it (most likely) won't be doing this using a Webdriver. Especially not one you can access and send commands to.

Prefill webpage from Lotus Notes client application

Looking to prefill a webpage (a form in a wordpress site) from a lotus notes application. My investigations to date show that using the query strings behind the urlname should work - however I am missing something here.
www.url.com/register?fname="bob"&sname="smith" etc...
I thought this could be done, but am not sure where the starting point would be?
Ideal solution - webservice from the owner of url.com to allow us to populate and get a response once done. They are not keen to do this as it does not save them any time, just our business.
I am looking to understand how to prepopulate the webpage so that the user just has to submit the form at url.com.
You could go mega-sneaky and use the Selenium WebDriver to launch a browser session on your client. It has full control over the browser and can sniff out the fields you need to populate. I wrote some simple code for starters - but the samples on the original web site might be more comprehensive.

what other params can I pass to the google hangout uri?

I recently discovered a parameter to pass to a google hangout uri to make it "on air": reference
I'm also wondering if I can pass any other parameters. I know that we have app_id, but I'm more interested to know if there are other parameters, such as being able to set the title or the hangout in advance, e.g.
https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_?hso=0&title=EdX%20SaaS%20Pairing
Because then I could direct people to https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/%23hangoutsonair%20EdX/hangouts and they could see all the on air hangouts associated with our MOOC. I did experimentally try passing title=, topic= and name= all to no immediate effect ...
I'd also love to know if there's a way to automatically start the live broadcast, or even better have the hangout be automatically associated with and published to our G+ pair programming community:

Many thanks in advance
Got this response from Tim Blasi at Google:
I'm a developer working on video calling. Unfortunately, you can not currently configure the video call in the way you are describing. However, we've received a lot of feedback that this is a pain point and we're currently working to address it. We'll keep your request in mind as we move forward.

resurrecting an old thread, but for a good reason.
i recently found that its possible to bypass the landing page and pre-select your user account

just replace my-room-name and my-email#account.com

How to Initiate a Vonage call using a Hyperlink

I'm just finishing a web page for our sales guy to quickly go through a list of contacts.
Is it possible to initiate a call from our Vonage line via a Hyperlink?
They offer an application called "Click-2-Call" but I hope it's possible to initiate it using only a Hyperlink.
This would probably require an addon to support a custom protocol that allows your Vonage system to function in this way.
I imagine that something like
Call 123-456-7890
Where the "phone" protocol would be recognized as a phone number that could be called by some default voip program. Then, setting Vonage to handle that protocol would allow this to work.
But, I don't believe that this is currently the case.
Yeah, this is speculation but I know skype has a browser plugin that looks at each web page and find the phone numbers and makes them clickable. It probably just sends some info to the skype client on the machine to make the call.
I haven't seen click-2-call before.
This would be interesting to implement in an app with a PBX system as well :)
Please let us know if you find some good info!
Maybe you could use a packet sniffer like Ethereal to see what gets sent where when you use click-2-call. It'd be pretty cool to create an outlook extension to dial my Vonage line, I don't like click-2-call very much.
