Tracking Click to Call - href

How can I track a phone number with UTM parameters?
Call Me
I tried adding ?utm_content=bannerctc like so:
Call Me
But this just converts the letters into numbers so it tries to call: 18001234567?886_2668368=754332
Here is the catch. I'd like to fix this without any javascript or PHP, our CMS platform is crap and is blocking us from using Js or any other programming languages.
I thought of using a redirect as a "middle man" so from the click to call link send users to a bitly url that redirects people to the phone number but I am not sure that would work...
Any help, please?
Thanks,

extracting data from facebook using graph api

how can i extract name list && phone numbers of the users liking certain page ?
I have tried using software called facepager but i couldn't extract names .
note:I'm not the owner of the page
You'd most likely have to write code yourself to do something like this. However,
Almost no-one publicly shares their phone number.
Facebook try to prevent this kind of data collection.
Even when facebook list's "likers" of a page, it'll wait till you scroll down to load more. You'd have to play with your browsers debug tools and look into where it get's that data from
https://www.facebook.com/search/<group id here>/likers
In the end you'll probably not get much better than just searching for the page and clicking each person's profile because the site is designed to not let what you're trying to do happen...

Django - Implementing user actions with no login, using only GET parameters

I'm writing an classified ads website, I need that the users renew the Ads only clicking in a URL that I will send by email. What cautions should I have implementing a system like this? I've searched on the web but didn't find examples of an implementation like this.
Can someone give some clues about the right path to do this?
Best Regards,
First off, SQL Injection will be a major thing to worry about, especially when using obvious get parameters.
Second, you will want non-personally identifying info in the GET parameters. You will NOT want short ids such as 123456 as these are VERY EASILY guessed. A GUID (example 412dc535-03dd-4887-b702-02c8b85e8891, you would remove the - of course) is great for this.
Third, you will want some sort of basic verification that it is in fact the user that originated the request. Have each email have its own ID for the one click action, perhaps a GUID (long string of random characters), and make them expire after some time (a few days). Keep track of each email link separately and what they're supposed to do, so that someone couldn't just figure out the ID of someone's ad and keep running it over and over.

stopping spam bots in coldfusion

I am blocking a huge number of bots, except the ones from search engines, and then only allowing 2seconds of session management.
However, spam bots are still able to by-pass these measure and create a huge number of requests which is 'killing' the server.
I have read other articles on this site but none seem to directly answer this issue.
A bot probably behaves faster than a human. You could time how long it takes them to fill out the form. Anything less than a second or two is a bot.
A bot probably doesn't have JavaScript turned on. You could use that to your advantage.
You could hide a link via css (or not give it any text) that takes the bot to a bot.cfm page, which could then set a session value.
There are some open source projects but I can't remember the names of them off the top of my head.
CF10 has a new validation function.
Ben Nadel has written some useful posts in his blog regarding spiders/bots.

For forms, I use <cfimage> to create a captcha image. I have found that stuffing the captcha phrase in a session variable can cause problems (I can't remember what the problems were though). So, I now use <cfencrypt> to include an encrypted phrase in the form itself. The action page decrypts the phrase and compares it to what the user put in the captcha form field.
I've found CFSPAMProtect to be very useful at blocking automated form fillers.
It bases its SPAM/HAM test on an aggregate score of a number metrics including time on page, mouse movement (via JS) as well as the classic hidden form fields that shouldn't be filled in (but are filled in by dumb robots).
You can assign your own weightings and monitor the SPAM catch via email to allow you to tailor things.
It can work on its own or link to some third party SPAM tools such as Akismet.
So far I've found that it's good enough on it's own.
It's a custom tag and easy to implement in existing forms too which is nice.
Give it a go...

certain link for like?

is there a specific link that I can use for "Liking" something? I'm looking to make a rating system that when someones votes something as 5 stars, it automatically "Likes" the image or whatever. I know there is www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?, but when I use that in my JavaScript, it automatically forwards them to a page with a like button only on it...
FYI, I'm not hiding the like button, it will be known by users...
I also tried .trigger('click'); but that doesn't work with the like button!
Thanks in advance!
You have stumbled across some road-blocks that Facebook implemented to prevent abuse of their like button. You will have to play by their rules to play in their sandbox they built. So use the social plugin: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

Can I create a django widget which posts back the form on a mobile?

I would like to create a widget for use in Django Forms. There is a problem though: i don't know how to make it properly work on a mobile. I'm wanting to create something like this:
Send message to: search-box-here search
and pressing search will post the page, but not actually submit the form at all. instead the widget will perform a search of friends, and return them in a list like this:
Send message to: search-box-here search
Add Person Bob Smith
Add Person John Smith
Does anyone know how I would get the bare-bones of doing this. I know I can do this with javascript, but most mobile web browser do not support JavaScript at all, never mind any AJAX tech.

Mobile browsers are so limited, look at how gmail does it for example. It shows you top 10 recent recipients and text box to search for others.
