Can the Connections 6 Search Sidebar be integrated into third party apps? - ibm-connections

IBM Connections 6.0 introduced a new floating button for opening a panel for quickly searching for content in IBM Connections.
Is there any documentation or known way of adding this button and panel to third party Connections applications?

The search option does not show on a mobile device using Housez theme

I decided to use the Housez theme as it advertises as super easy and flexible to use. I am not a web designer but have managed to get my site up and running. www.islandestates.net The problem I have is that there is no search option for the properties on a mobile device? The desktop version works well but how do I get a search box onto the mobile version?
The support from Housez is non existent, I have submitted a request to favetheme but they never reply.
Any help would be aprreciated.

Blue Prism applicaton modeler fails to identify authentication pop up window on firefox

I am trying to automate a web application using firefox on blue prism. When I use the application modeler to launch the web application, first it is asking for credentials to login on a pop up window. Application modeler cannot identify this pop up has appeared. So I cannot automate the login. However after login manually, I can spy other elements in the application as normal. Any idea on how to automate the pop up window asking for user name and password?
I assume that you specified your application as browser based in application modeler. It's hard to answer your question without knowing how this web application looks and works like. There are few options that you can try nevertheless:
In the latest version (6.4) Blue Prism introduced Firefox plug-in. If you would be able to upgrade your version to the latest one (if you are not using it already), then maybe you'll be able to spy the pop up.
If this web application does not necessarily need be launched via Firefox in particular, then you can test its behavior and spying possibilities on other browsers - Internet Explorer and Google Chrome (supported by BP since 6.3 version).
You can spy the whole browser's window using Region mode and use Surface Automation techniques to input credentials and log in. SA functionalities are greatly improved since version 6.
You can try using web services (if applicable with this website) to connect with the API of the web application, you'll be able to pass/validate your credentials via web services as well. Blue Prism natively supports SOAP based web services, you might need to come with some code stages to wrap it up. It's pretty advanced stuff though and I wouldn't recommend it as a 1st choice.
Hope this helps.

Hidden controls appearing in web instance[Labview]

I have created an application in which the vi has some controls and these controls are useful only during the development and on special instance can be unlocked in the application. i basically use app.kind property node to determine what environment the vi is running in and suitably hide/unhide the controls.
I have the application published on the web using the NI Web publishing tool. The computer which hosts the app works fine(and these controls remain invisible) but these controls can be sen on the web page. The vi is in "Embedd" mode. As a workaround i have pushed these controls some distance away and hence avoided the user from knowing about it. but this introduces the problem that i cannot view these controls when i unlock them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You have built a stand-alone application and enabled web server, correct?
Are you sure the web panel is connecting to the stand-alone application (app.kind=2)
and it is not reaching the development LabView (app.kind=1) still listening on that web server port?
I would add an indicator to display the value of app.kind at all times.
What happens if you toggle the hidden fields on and off? I would add a button to do this on the vi.
Do they disappear/reappear reliably in the window where you have control?
Also, you said this was in Embedded mode - but are you also transferring control to the web page?
Those are some approaches I'd try to help pin this down.

Programmatically Show iPhone VPN Connection Page

Is there a supported (or even known) way to display the VPN Connection Page programmatically? I haven't been able to find anything to the affirmative yet, but I'm hopeful. There's documentation on showing some of the Standard Modal View Controllers, but there aren't any related to any networking dialogs/pages. Any information would be helpful!
I've concluded (after digging through the iOS SDK documentation) that this is not possible, unfortunately.

SharePoint and Firefox 3

I think most of the SharePoint developers and administrators know that with the change form Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 some functionality of SharePoint have became unavailable.
Especially adding Webparts to a site and using the PeoplePicker don't work anymore with Firefox 3. So I want to know how you deal with this problem when some of your users are complaining about having to use the IE to get the same functionality as with Firefox 2.
It's quite plain to me that it is not possible to get the full functionality with Firefox but it would be great to get at least the same with Firefox 3 as you got before with Firefox 2.
Or are there any workarounds to get Firefox 3 working with SharePoint properly?
I am using IE Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
The main problem seems to be the fact that whenever a pop-up windows opens during a SharePoint action, like adding a webpart to a site, the information or data form the pop-up windows is not transmitted to the initial window which opened the pop-up window.
What underlying code is it trying to run that Firefox 3 won't support?
Is it just using a bad agent sniffer? that can't handle v3?
The only thing I've encountered in v3 that isn't handled as nice as v2, is the ability to call .focus() on non-form elements. It worked better in v2, v3 seems to have some issues.
The official announcement of Service Pack 2 for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 contains the following text:
Also with the new service pack,
Internet Explorer 8 will be added into
browser support matrix as level one,
and Firefox 2.0 and 3.0 as level two.
So maybe an upgrade to SharePoint SP2 will fix your problems? More details on SP2 are scheduled for release next week.
