I am trying to protect the "mailto" code function on a website from bots and spammers. In other words, I would like to create a button (like "Contact") that on clicking displays an email address, but the code is protected from harvesters.
reCaptcha has been suggested. Can it serve that purpose?
I have been to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ where I created an "account" but I cannot figure out how to use it.
If I am asking the wrong question in the wrong place, please say so. (I am pretty good with HTML and CSS, but reCaptcha has me stumped.)
sjahan, Thank you.
stackoverflow offers other solutions that I just found here:
Protect e-mail address with CSS only
I will start there. But I have bookmarked this page.

I understand that this question might have been asked before, but looking at the answers is just making me more confused! I was wondering if someone could tell me the steps I should take to deliver this scenario?
A user is logged into my website
They open a live chat window (powered through Zendesk)
At this point, a live chat is opened in the zendesk support channel, but the name of the "user" is something generic like "Visitor 12345". I would like Wordpress to send the logged in users name and email address to Zendesk so the chat appears as "Member Name".
I think I need to use a Rest API for this. I have inputted the following code into my functions.php file. (which I found here).
<script type="text/javascript">
zE('webWidget', 'identify', {
name: 'Akira Kogane',
email: 'akira#voltron.com',
organization: 'Voltron, Inc.'
});
</script>
But I am unsure of what to change "Akira Kogane" "akira#voltron.com" and "Voltron, Inc." to?
If anyone could point me to an idiots guide to setting WordPress up to be able to send this data I would really appreciate it. I would happily pay someone to do this work for me, but I would love to learn how to do it myself in the first place. I assume I have to set something up in wordpress, or set up a rest API somehow before it can send the data, but I'm not sure!
Thanks Again!
I am working on a Application with firebase. I want to validat a users email, but since Firebase doesn't allow to change the verification message (To help prevent spam, the message can't be edited on this email template), i can't use this. I don't want to serve English text to my users.
Is there a way to get/generate a custom ActionCode? I used this tut https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/custom-email-handler it might solve the problem is i can get the temp actioncode somewhere.
I found applyActionCode and checkActionCode (seems the same) but not something like createActionCode
Ask for it...
Nowadays the best procedure (with just 1 step) was for us to develop an HTML file with the exact content for each of your templates (Email-Verification and Email-Change, including even the snippets %...% in the right place) and send them as attachment in the Troubleshoot form as mentioned by Alfonso in the comments of this question.
If you send the exact email HTML template file, you leave Google's people with no questions for spamming purposes other than quickly validating your HTML content and approve.
you can change the language for all the templates, at the bottom...
also you can edit manually the body and the subject for the forgot password template
You can customize the email validation template text as you wish? Right?
I've used services like 'Add This' for a while but now I need to add a couple of specific bits of functionality to an ecommerce order completion page. It's to work like Amazon's order thank you page where it allows you to post a message to Facebook saying something like 'I just bought a widget on Amazon'.
Equally I'm looking for the equivalent in Twitter.
I've added a bunch of OG tags and share buttons but can't get it to do what I need. From further reading it sounds like I might need to create a Facebook app of some sort and use FB ui to create the link to post to the user's wall. I was hoping to do this without getting tangled up in that level of permissions etc but maybe that's not possible any more?
This is being developed on asp.net C#, in case there's a library that I haven't found in my searching.
Can anyone familiar with this type of development point me in the right direction?
For Twitter, the simplest way is to use Web Intents.
For example, if you want to share the text
I love http://example.com
URL encode the text to I%20love%20http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com and use the Twitter Web Intent URI. E.g.
https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=I%20love%20http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com
When the user clicks on that link (try it!) or is directed there by your service, they'll be prompted to share that text.
Hi I'm building a site using the WPTUBE4 theme in WordPress. I'd put the link but I'm creating it on my localhost using WebMatrix. My issue is i can't get a register/login popup form to work. I just want to have a button or link in my header that says Login and another that says Register and when you click have a form popup in a "lightbox" lets say and then the user can Register using their email and a password like most other sites have. Then from then on they can just login to the site. To complicate it a bit more I would like to set up a "log in using facebook option" much like how StackOverflow has. I've just been having a hard time finding the right tutorial or plugin online and I'm hoping that this newbie question can be answered and/or someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks and sorry for it being such a simple thing to ask. Not sure if i should be using jQuery for this or something like it, I might just redirect to another page with the form there but i wanted to avoid this, i wanted to keep users on the same page and just overlay (Lightbox effect) the form then when they're done they could return to exactly where they were. Regardless of what i use i would like to learn the skill to use both. Thanks.
I am working on a Flex AS3 application and wanted to add the Facebook Like button inside the app. I am unable to find any API or anything apart from the http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like code generator.
Any ideas on how this might be accomplished? I am quite new to the recent changes in the Facebook Platform, so any info would be appreciated.
A direct "like" button should not be possible, since Facebook needs to sandbox the whole thing. Both like button formats (iframe and xfbml) use a sandboxed iframe, so nobody but facebook can set "likes" or know anything about the user.
For that to work with Flash, I think facebook would have to provide the button itself as a SWF file so you can load it in Flash. Then it can create a sandbox within itself and thus load the user information safely. Very much like the Chromeless Youtube Player, where it's almost impossible for Flash to access the actual FLV URL (even through introspection).
But even so, I don't think this would provide enough security... realize that you are dealing with very private user information and credentials here.
The only way I know you can "like" stuff through Flash is first doing the whole Facebook Connect thing (several popup windows asking the user for permissions) and then using the API of your choice to do the actual "liking", for instance, with the Graph API:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api#publishing
The closest information I could find are these 2 items so far. Hope it helps you in your journey.

Facebook like button in flash
I hate answering "no" to a question because what I really mean is "I don't know and I can't find a way". I'm sure your Google-fu is as good as mine. All I can see are Facebook forum posts like this where people are asking the same question and no one is answering.
The examples they give of the like button are either embedded in iFrames or using XFBML <fb:like ../> tag. There are no examples of how to like something using their new graph api or either of their old APIs (FQL and REST API).
I had to get a Facebook like button in a html page (looked like a header on the top) and get the swf embedded below. As its a complete flex app in my case, this work around was possible and plausible
