Is it possible to hide an href value from the browser, but keep it working?
<a href="tel: 0044005" onclick="finalnumber" onmouseover="hidden">
The browser works for the user. It does not work for the developer of the website.
You cannot give something to the browser and keep it a secret from the user.

When I access my site that's being managed by Sitecore, it's redirecting me and asking for Sitecore credentials. I have no idea why but obviously the main site should be viewable to public without needing creds.
Thanks.
This could be from your sitecore cookie still in page editor mode, To fix this add this query string to your URL:
?sc_mode=normal
This will update your cookie and no reddirect to login anymore
Assuming that you have a combined CM/CD environment and that this is specific to your computer or other authors' computers, it is likely that Sitecore is picking up on the fact that you were using the Page Editor in a previous session. When you are using Page Editor Sitecore will drop a cookie called website#sc_mode and set it to "edit". If you return to the page with that cookie set it will push you to the Login Page as it things you are attempting to edit that page.
To resolve this try clearing your cookies or using a browser in Incognito mode/Private Browsing.
If this is happening to other users I would suggest following Martijn's advice in the other Answer and checking your site definition.
Check your site definitions in the web.config and/or the sites.config in the /app_config/include/ folder. Most of the times there is some misconfiguration there.
Check the security roles set on your site pages. If for some reason access has been denied to the 'extranet/anonymous' user you won't be able to browse without being authenticated.
When trying to get the code to put like button onto website it says "HREF is not recognized as valid URL".
I have a website that is run by a third-party. Is that a reason why I can not put the like button on that website?
Make sure the website URL you enter starts with http:// or https://
You can get the Like button code for any website online regardless of who maintains it.
Hope this helps. Cheers, Bobby
I'm implementing a Facebook Send dialog, by opening facebook.com/dialog/send in a popup window. When I click the 'Send' button the dialog will display the error: 'Sorry, something went wrong' – but only for certain link URLs. The best examples I have are:
Not Working:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send
?app_id=12345
&name=Example
&link=facebook.com/examplepage
&redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/response
Working:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send
?app_id=12345
&name=Example
&link=google.com
&redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/response
These links are identical except that the first one shares 'facebook.com' and the second one shares 'google.com'. Only the second one works.
The same errors occur if I use the Facebook JavaScript API with FB.ui({method: 'send'}).
Answering my own question:
Both the links now work for me, although I have not changed anything. I can only hypothesise that Facebook has either fixed this bug, or this issue occurs on some internet connections and not others.
I think Facebook is trying to read the URL and pre-populate the image and content. In your case probably because skiggle.com.au is a redirected to the other domain and facebook doesn't accept it.
Edit. Your first link works though
I had the same problem & worked out that this was due to linking to a Facebook page that did not have a vanity URL set up (i.e. http://www.facebook.com/CubicMushroom rather than http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=261963707177053). If you set up a vanity URL for the page it seems to work OK (providing you link to the vanity URL version of the page URL).
To claim a vanity URL, once you have a certain no of like (it used to be 25, but think it's a little lower now) visit https://www.facebook.com/username/
This can also happen if you share a link to localhost
I've got a Drupal website with articles on them which have Facebook like buttons.
Now I've got all the OpenGraph metatags added on the pages and it's all working perfectly except for one thing.
Site visitors can share a page URL or like a page URL.
When a new article is added and the first person who presses the like button will not see the image added in the og:image tag.
If another person afterwards presses the like button, the og:image however is visible so it seems to me Facebook needs to scrape the page first before the og:image is added in the 'Facebook Like window'.
The Facebook share doesn't seem to suffer from this problem and does it right from the first time.
Now whenever somebody adds a new article, I'd need the URL of the article to be scraped automatically by Facebook using some PHP code or some other fix...
Anyone who knows if autoscraping a URL is possible or does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
You can use the graph API with scrape=true to force Facebook to scrape you right when you create your contents

David your link is to a tab application on your page. You need to remove the sk=app_158....... from the url.
the url you need to use is...
