How could I verify created addon without making a website - credentials

I hired freelancer to create a youtube addon.
The addon works create expect that I have limited API requests I can make.
To increase it seems I have to include Privacy and Policy Link and homepage link.
Is there some kind of general websites URL's I could use for open source projects, which Google would accept?
Freelancer suggested me to create .io site which is free.
But the Google credentials page doesn't accept those.
https://whitevo.github.io/youtubeAddon/
Addon code is available in: (assuming I did everything right to open source the code)
https://github.com/whitevo/youtubeAddon
and
git clone https://whitevo#bitbucket.org/whitevo/youtube-addon.git
I would like to get the addon verified so I could add more videos at once with it.

My bad, I had to add the domain to Authorized domains list before I could add URL Links.
Domain name had to be written like this: whitevo.github.io/

can't add shop in store.shopware.com - wrong url

screen from store.shopware.com - wrong url
I want to add SW shop to store.shopware.com
url shop which I wanto to add is https://remiza.com.pl/sklep
and I can't because of "The specified domain is invalid" - look at the screen
I try add https://remiza.com.pl/ (there is only a splash page where users can choose WP site and SW shop) https://remiza.com.pl/sw-domain-hash.html and then I could add but problem is that I can't f.e. use support for that - there are no SW shop on https://remiza.com.pl/
How can I add shop which is in subfolder ?
On the Shopware Cloud documentation no support for sub folders is mentioned.
It is a bit unclear what you are trying to accomplish. But if you change the IP of remiza.com.pl to the Shopware Cloud IP, you should be able to use this direct domain for the shop.
If you are trying to have another site (for example WordPress) on "/" and your Shopware cloud store on a subfolder, this cannot work out of the box, as the full domain needs to point to the Shopware cloud server. If this is the setup you are looking for, a proxy solution might help - but it would be much easier to accomplish with a subdomain.

How to setup a Share point Link for a google extension

So, I am trying to implement a SharePoint intranet site for an organization. However, there is one application in particular that they would like a link to on the homepage. Unfortunately this application can only be used via the IE tab google chrome extension (I know, dumb) but app devs have yet to add chromium compatibility.
Any way the link looks like this:
chrome-extension:
//hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd/nhc.htm#url=https://website.com/sub/sub.Hub.aspx
But share point requires a https:// on the beginning of a link.
If you throw that destination into chrome directly it navigates fine, but if you add say https://google.com/ on the front or https://*/ it doesn't work.
Is there a syntax that will allow me to put https:// on the front of this without getting a 404 error?
Never mind, I ended up re-directing this through IIS internally

Website A 'redirect' to subdomain of website B, with content of website A

There has been a question made towards me recently to do the following:
We have a website with Drupal running in IIS.
On that site is an URL Redirect to a website hosted externally, obviously with a name completely irrelevant to the name of our company.
The question now is the following;
They want to change to URL to a subdomain of our website. Example: from "www.external-site.com" to "www.sub.internal.com" (while still showing content of the external website)
They want the current page of that website to be reflected in the URL bar. So it wouldn't say "www.sub.internal.com", but it would say "www.sub.internal.com/solutions/page1.html" (instead of "www.external-site.com/solutions/page1.html")
It's possible that I forgot another 'condition' but have mentioned before this.
So, if someone visits through our URL Redirect to External-website, it needs to show our subdomain instead of their domain in the URL, AND it needs to show the current page when people start browsing while still using our subdomain in the URL.
Now, I checked the external-website, and it seems that most of the links available are relative links (if this would be any useful information).
Currently, the external website is hosted externally, and will remain to be so for next few years. (I believe we bought the company)
I have been asking around and looking up, and the best possible thing seems to use domain forwarding, but even then it still doesn't seem to comply with the entirety that they asked of me.
I am but a 'simple' .NET programmer, held responsible to do support for anything involving the websites, and I can't say I have extended knowledge about infrastructure. (But I can ask people to do this for me)
Is there anything that could solve this?
Thanks so much!
IIS's URL rewite and Application Request Routing (ARR) combo can help you what you want to achive. Here are few links which may guide you to configure ARR. Please note that these links dont exibit exact solution to your problem however you can take clue from it and fabricate your solution accordingly.

It sounds like you'll want to use a full-page iframe: do not redirect but show a page with an "inner page" instead: that inner page is the external web site. That way, users do not see the external site in their URL bar.

You need to configure the equivalent of Apache Virtual Host with Reverse Proxy on IIS.

Updating an existing website

I've been asked by a family friend to completely overhaul the website for their business. I've designed my own website, so I know some of the basics of web design and development.
To work on their website from my own home, I know I'll need to FTP into their server, and therefore I'll need their FTP credentials, as well as their CMS credentials. I'm meeting with them in a couple of days and I don't want to look like a moron! Is there anything else I need to ask them for during our first meeting (aside from what they want in their new site, etc.) before I start digging into it?
Thanks!
From an SEO point of view, you should be concerned with 301 redirects as (i suppose) some or all URL adressess will change (take a different name, be removed and etc)
So, after you`ve created a new version of the site - and before you put it online - you should go ahead and list all "old site" URLs and decide, preferably for each one, it's new status (unchanged or redirected and if so - to what URL).
Mind that even is the some content will not re-appear on the new site, you still have to redirect the URL (say to HomePage) to keep link juice and SERP rankings.
Also, for a larger sites, (especially dynamic sites) try looking for URL patterns for bulk redirects. For example, if you see that google indexes 1,000 index.php?search=[some-key-word] pages, you don`t need to redirect each one individually as these are probably just search result pages that can be grouped with REGEX to be redirected to main search result page.
To index "old site" URLs you should:
a. site:domainname.com in Google (then set the SERP to 100 results and scaped manually of with Xpath)
b. Xenu or other site crawler (some like screamingfrog) to get a list of all URLs.
c. combine the lists in excel and remove all duplicates.
If you need help with 301 redirects you can start with this link:
http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php/
If the website is static, knowing html, css and javascript along with FTP credentials is enough for you to get started. However if the site is dynamic interactive and database driven, you may need to ask if they want to use a php, In that case you might end up building this site in wordpress.
If you are going to design the website from scratch then also keep this point in mind.. Your friend might have hosted this website at somewhere (i.e. hosting provider). You should get its hosting control panel details as well which will help to manage the website (including database, email, FTP, etc.).

PHP - Switching between websites?

A friend of mine set up a website with a website builder. I offered to help and ended up redesigning the site. What I wrote is obviously incompatible with the site builder's templates he used, but he would rather stick with the site builder which allows him to make the changes he needs to make.
What I'm currently thinking is to have both sites set up simultaneously and let him choose which one is visited by the user. That way we can use the new site and then when he makes a change, switch back to the old site until I have a chance to change the new version. This would be confusing for any regular users of the site who happened to visit it in the time that the old site was changed, but the site is very small with very few visitors, and any changes made would be easy to duplicate.
I don't, however, know how to do this. My first thought was to have two public_html directories with a script that would rename them as needed, but I don't know how I would go about changing the name of a folder that a script is running from. I also don't think I would be able to move the old site over to a host I control; the site builder doesn't give the ftp details and it takes care of all the dirty work for its users. At most, I think I could transfer the domain name to a different registrar, set up the nameservers with the host of the new site, and go from there, but then the old site wouldn't be editable from the site builder...
My second thought would be to do something like this in php:
if(...){
echo file_get_contents(oldsite . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}
else{
...
}
If anyone's made it this far, here are the key points of what I want to achieve:
Old site is able to be changed with the site builder (vistaprint)
Script to choose which website the user visits
Urls never change
Assume the only control we have over the old site is a simple WYSIWYG editor from the site builder and the ability to change the domain as well as release the domain (for $20, the crooks). Nothing to do with nameservers, ftp, file managers, etc.
Current plan of action: Transfer the domain (lets assume it's http://example.com) to a register and webhost I control. Set up an add-on domain (http://old.example.com) and register the web builder with the addon domain. I'll then have each page set up the way I showed in the second plan:
if(...){
echo file_get_contents('http://old.example.com' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}
else{
...
}
I'm a bit reluctant to do this for a number of reasons, so I was hoping someone could enlighten me on a better method.
You're overthinking this. Just redirect (HTTP status 3xx) to your old site when necessary.
