Can someone please let me know when the below "Request URL Not Found" error comes up? I copied an article URL and pasted it to post in LinkedIn. And it gave me this error. The article belongs to the website that I have developed. The issue went away when I cleared the cache by appending a dummy query string to the end of the URL, like http://...?dono=1. Is this the only way to clear cache? My website authors find it difficult to post articles sometimes because of this cache issue and I wanted to make it easier for them. Also I noticed some extra quotes in the OG:title of the article, like ''. Any help will be really appreciated.
Unfortunately Linkedin servers cache this info for 7 days.
Option 1:
You can add a query string to your open graph URL:
?Updated=Sitecore.Context.Item.Statistics.Updated
option 2:
Try passing the &summary="Your short description" in the URL, as BBC does. This has been already answered here

I just set up my personal GitHub page, with GitHub Pages! Now I was wondering if this is automatically indexed by google.
I tried out what I found online and it seems it is. By the way if I do not provide the exact URL and I just type name and surname In Google search engine I do not find anything related to my page (I went through until the 6th page of results).
Do you have any clue how to deal with this issue?
I would like that people are able to find my page just typing my name and surname and without knowing the full URL a priori!
As mentioned in "Customizing GitHub Pages / Search engine optimization for GitHub Pages", you will have to add some seo tags, including one about author.
That author information will help Google search to point back to your site.
We have several web sites hosted on a single server. Recently we found an error, when we tried to enter the word “exit” in any HTML form, we couldn’t do it on any site hosted on the server. Not even the word “exit” if we tried to enter the word “complexity” we couldn’t insert that also because it has got the word “exit” as a part of it. We have tried this on a static html form directed to itself; on that form also we got the same error message “Forbidden 403”. We think this should be an apache web server issue. But we cannot find the solution. If anyone has experienced this before please let me know. Thanks
I am working on an app that uses facebook's check in feature from mobile phones. I have created multiple versions of the app on facebook so that i can keep production, test and development separated. All good. However, all my checkins whether test or dev or prod are going to the live facebook platform leading to check ins like "this is a test" or "blah blah" on live facebook pages. Is there a way to be able to check in but not on these real/live pages? In other words, is there a sandbox or development version where developers can freely update content?
Thanks you guys!
Best,
Sachin
So, as with many other things in life, banging my head against the problem helped a bit. I found out that I can create test users for my app - upto 500 of them. The documentation is at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/test_users/. I was able to create test users for my app, login to facebook with those test users and verify that my actions did not show up on public pages. Phew, now i need to deface these public property no more. :-) When doing this, you need to use the app access token not the regular user accesss token. To get that, follow this link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/applications/. The last gotcha I faced was that the second link above states that you should have a parameter named grant_type=client_credentials in your graph request. I kept looking for types of client credentials that i could substitute what i thought was a place holder named "client_credentials". That term needs to go in verbatim. (GOTCHA). Also, twice when I tried to create a user, facebook responded with an error json saying that an "unknown error has occured". I was almost ready to give up... but like i said before, banging head against the problem helps. Facebook responded with a json like so after the third request:
{
"id":"*******1832",
"access_token":"*****",
"login_url":"https://www.facebook.com/platform/test_account_login.php?user_id=*****&n=*****",
"email":"****",
"password":"*****"
}
Hope this helps someone else who might also be looking for this info.
I've added a facebook Like button to a few of my web site pages. All of them work except for the home page and I can't figure out why?
It is almost impossible to answer this question without seeing some sample code of your "home page".
Check your page with https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
If the response code isn't 200 or your meta tags don't appear properly or whatever else, at least you'll know where to look. Keep in mind that when you click like, Facebook makes a request to your page. Make sure you let Facebook do that (don't block/Redirect the Facebook crawler).
Edit: Sometimes, simply adding your URL and testing on the link above solves the problem. This is if you had a problem with the site when you first added it and meanwhile Facebook cached it as problematic. Debugging it will clear the Facebook cache for that URL.
Using the Amazon API it seems that it's not possible anymore to get the review rank information of a product. Checking this link the note says:
As of November 8, 2010, only the iframe URL is returned in the request
content.
However, testing with the params they suggest to get the Iframe, but it seems that now even the Iframe doesn't work anymore. Thus, even in the latest API Reference in the chapter "Motivating Customers to Buy" the part "reviews" is completely missing.
However: Since I'm also very interested if it's still possible somehow to get the review rank information - maybe even not using the Amazon API but a competitor's API to get review rank information - I hope someone can provide something helpful on this topic.
Preamble: I'm not sure that I understand exactly what you are looking for here but I'll share my findings anyways.
I was able to retrieve the iframe URL for the reviews and was able to see the reviews iframe after embedding it into an .html page. I used the following attributes to retrieve the iframe URL:
Operation=ItemLookup&
ItemId=1451648537&
ResponseGroup=Reviews&
TruncateReviewsAt="256"&
IncludeReviewsSummary="False"&
Version=2011-08-01 <= important: can't be less than this version
AssociateTag=<YourAssociateTag> <= required when using this version, can be anything (not verified by Amazon)
The relevant part of the response:
<Item>
<ASIN>1451648537</ASIN>
<CustomerReviews>
<IFrameURL>http://www.amazon.com/reviews/iframe?akid=<YourAmazonKey>&alinkCode=xm2&asin=1451648537&atag=<YourAssociateTag>&exp=2012-01-06T02%3A10%3A38Z&summary=0&truncate=256&v=2&sig=kjWPue1N75%2FiI1hW67XYApWxnKeT2tlT%2FJ1rw4WLlUo%3D</IFrameURL>
<HasReviews>true</HasReviews>
</CustomerReviews>
</Item>
Note that you will not be able to use this iframe URL due to the fact that (1) I've removed my Amazon Key and the Associate Tag that was used to create the signature and (2) it expires 24 hours after the call.
If you use the same attributes that I've used, paying close attention to the Version and AssociateTag fields, you will get a result with an iframe URL included.
I then embedded the url in an iframe:
<html>
<body>
<iframe src="http://www.amazon.com/reviews/iframe?akid=<YourAmazonKey>&alinkCode=xm2&asin=1451648537&atag=<YourAssociateTag>&exp=2012-01-06T02%3A10%3A38Z&summary=0&truncate=256&v=2&sig=kjWPue1N75%2FiI1hW67XYApWxnKeT2tlT%2FJ1rw4WLlUo%3D"/>
</body>
</html>
Which looked like the following:
As I said in the preamble, I'm unsure if this is what you are looking for since the requirements for the bounty was:
...to get access to amazons reviewrank informations
This isn't exactly the review rank information but the actual reviews and I take the meaning of review rank info to be more along the lines of the data itself (such as 100 reviews # 4 stars etc.). However, in your question you stated that the iframe did not work:
However, testing with the params they suggest to get the Iframe, but it seems that now even the Iframe doesn't work anymore.
So I thought that I would at least provide you with the proper method of getting and using the iframe.
Amazon has completely removed support for accessing rating/review information from their API. The docs mention a Response Element in the form of customer rating, but that doesn't work either.
Google shopping using Viewpoints for some reviews. I came across a good article for this
I know you said you don't want to screen scrape, but as that is the only solution available, I have been using the screen scraping solution for some time and it has not caused me a problem yet, although I agree it is fragile. If my screen scraping code does not get what it expects, it will log an error for me to adjust the code, and it will degrade gracefully to just display a link to open the review information in an iFrame. This error has yet to trigger and the solution has worked great for us.
