I was going through Stack Overflow db structure on https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/queries and wondering where the user's GitHub link is.
I can see the website URL listed against user in schema but there is no field referencing GitHub profile link?
This is a cross-site duplicate of Why are links to social media and GitHub not appearing in the SE data dump? (And SEDE).
There a Stack Exchange developer says:
Those don't appear in the data dump or in SEDE because the social media/GitHub links aren't stored in the Users table - it only has the WebsiteUrl column.
The others links are stored in a separate UsersMetadata table that isn't included in any of the public data dumps.
You can also see that the additional links are not in the Stack Exchange API.
There does not seem to be a compelling reason why these public links are unavailable other than Stack Exchange has so far, de facto, decided that it was not a cost-effective use of dev time.
You can try creating a feature request on Meta Stack Exchange...
The database doesn't store GitHub profile links.
Most queries written to "Select GitHub users with..." uses the WebsiteUrl parameter and a LIKE statement.
The top few queries on data.stackexchange.com for example has the following query:
SELECT
u.Id,
u.WebsiteUrl,
u.UpVotes,
u.Reputation
FROM Users u
WHERE WebsiteUrl LIKE '%github.com%' AND u.Reputation > 1
This of course is the WebsiteUrl variable from its schema:

I have a websites agriculture related with info's.
The script is very limited and do not allow me to create a classified section to my website, so, i need to create another one.
For the new website (created on subdomain, but with the same script), if i use the same database, user accounts will be kept?
In fact, that's what interests me. My users from the info's site automatically keep their accounts on the classified site, without the need for another account.
I just want to keep user accounts and nothing else.
enter image description here
The database should keep all of the data in it regardless of how many sites its connected to, however all of said sites can now see and edit it.
Okay so I’m need guidance on where to start.
What I want to do is upon clicking a button in my web app which will be labelled “search” the web app will connect to my realism database and search the data base for the “search criteria” and the once found all matching cases it will create div blocks with the information inside it, in a list view and assign the ID of the div to the UID it gets back from the database.
database:
Users
--> Country
---->State
----->City
------>Post/ZipCode
------->UID
--------> Users informantion
Welcome to StackOverflow!
A great place to get started is the Firebase Realtime Database doocumentation or searching for Firecasts on YouTube (linked below).
As requested, here are some questions to ask yourself to get started and help scope out and define your new Firebase project.
What language are you going to use?
Are you planning on using any frameworks/libraries? e.g. For Javascript, these would include things like jQuery, Polymer, and React
What information are you storing in your database? e.g. user profiles, private user data/settings, public indexes, username lists, etc.
How is your database structured?
What data is being searched? The entire database? Values in a certain location?
What data needs to be displayed in your view?
Is the data accessible for just the current user or is it a public database that anyone can use?
What search criteria will be used? Is it just one filter at a time or many?
The answers to these questions aren't set in stone, but are to help you start thinking about the future of your project. They can be changed at any time as this isn't SQL where everything has to have its own schema.
If you intend on using "advanced searches" where you'll filter by multiple parameters at the same time, consider using Cloud Firestore instead.
I recommend looking at some Firecasts to help guide you through these questions. Here are some links to them:

I would like to keep the utm source data when a user visit my site via the url with utm source in order to see the efficiency of any source.
url example : http://www.mydomain.com/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=promoted&utm_campaign=welcome
I need to see the users who have been signed up from which source. The best is to keep the utm_source data in a column at users table in database.
I could not succeed to catch and insert the source data if the visitor signs up in that session. My site is php.
Any help will be appreciated.
You should look at the __utmz cookie (automatically created by the Google Analytics tracking code) for all the "utm" related information. In PHP it should be: $_COOKIE['__utmz'].
I am exposing a page with a standardcontroller="account" to a force.com site facing the public. This page displays account specific data to the clients. Now when a customer logs in to my website I want him to have access to his account's data and only his account data. Here is the problem; the url for a page with a standardcontroller has a Id field, such as "https//www.myforcesite.force.com/AccountViewPage?Id=a82347dod". If a user changes a few keys on the Id, it is very easy for him to access other people's account page and bypass the login process. How can I prevent that.
I opened a ticket with salesforce but they told me its working as intended. I don't think a vulnerability to a trivial brute force attack should be intended so I want to know if there are any fixes?
Create one StandardController extension and check if the logged user in your website has the permission to view that account.

What you are looking for is URL rewriting for force.com site.
For example, let's say that you have a blog site. Without URL rewriting, a blog entry's URL might look like this: http://myblog.force.com/posts?id=003D000000Q0PcN
With URL rewriting, your users can access blog posts by date and
title, say, instead of by record ID. The URL for one of your New
Year's Eve posts might be:
http://myblog.force.com/posts/2009/12/31/auld-lang-syne
I have a website that I've integrated with a popular forum software (phpBB).
I have it setup so users that login to the main site automatically are logged in to the forum software as well. I do this by authenticating through the forum's API at the very same time.
When someone registers for the site, an entry goes in to the main site database and an entry goes in to the forum user database (using the forum API).
The primary id of the forum user table is stored in a column in the main site user DB. This is saved at the time of registration: the registration process first creates a forum user, then passes back the ID in to the query that creates the user in the main site.
When a user logs in, if they authenticate with the main site, that ID is pulled and passed in to the forum login API to login the correct person.
However, a weird thing seems to happen randomly: one in every 30 or 40 people that registers ends up with a forum user id that is not their own in the main site user table. I know how to look for these problems and fix them on case by case basis and have scripts in place to do so, but that seems like more of a bandaid, not a fix.
Is this a common problem when linking data like this, or does this seem like something more specific with the software? Because of the randomness of this issue its been hard to debug.
I would suspect Session Management. Are you intentionally or unintentionally reusing session ids?
I've done something similar with vbulletin, by directly using the forum's mysql database to autheticate the main site, and other sites (they're all on the same machine)...
In your case, I would add the site-specific fields that are not in phpBB database in the site's db, and link it to phpbb by user_id... It could be one form on the main sites that inserts into the two databases (some in the main site db, others in phpBB db - with some more privileges fields), I'd use my own non-standard captcha like generating a distorted image "what is x+y" with x and y as random numbers and + may be replaced by other operations, or an image of "type the word ORANGE", or "type your username again"
I would disable the default phpBB registration... there are so many bots that know how to use it...
This would guarantee you have one source for the info, and you fill all the info at once.
