Wavemaker Project - I added security, now my will show a blank page - security

I have been using Wavemaker Studion (v.6.7) for around 3 months and it is a pretty good RAD application.
A few weeks ago, I added the security feature (Database) on a 40% finished project and when I launch the project, it shows a blank page - let me mention that the project was running flawless before. I didn’t notice that it was related to the security feature.
Then I started a new project, on which I re added the security service (Database again)...when I clicked the Run button, the project will again launch with a blank page, even when I remove the feature - by the way, everytime I uncheck the enable security checkbox, then save the project, it keeps recheck everytime i reopen the security tab with the settings as if I have never unchecked the checkbox earlier.
I tried to tweak a bit the security features and the login page appeared but the credentials will be invalid ( which is strange as I used simple ones as admin and pass). There won’t be anyway for me to fix this as the project seems to be corrupted.
My main concern is not to be able to successfully setup the security with Database security provider.
Screenshots:

You have to check "Show login page" box for you can see the login page, then you can enter with the "user" and "pass".

Prevent VS2017 from connecting to SQL database

I am working on a ASP.NET MVC project in Visual Studio.
Since today I see am seeing every now and then
a dialog window "Connect to SQL Server" that uses {0} as user name:
I always click Cancel as the user name is just a place holder. It is read - as the rest of the database configuration - from Web.config.
The documentation just states:
This dialog box appears when specific access permission is required
for the current database process.
I believe I do not need this access. How can I prevent Visual Studio from showing this dialog?
PS: I do not want to remove the configuration from Web.config as it is needed by my project.
After a little debugging, it turned out that it was the awesome Meene VS Tools 2017 extension which caused this problem. Specifically, the Enable tasks provider option. Just disabling it helped to get rid of the nasty dialog. Maybe one could also add the Web.config to the Excluded file name patterns to fix the problem. Since I do not use the tasks, I did not try though.

Errors on deploying an Azure Document DB

I'm having problems while deploying a new Document DB for my project.
All the validations appear to be correct, at least they all have a green mark.
Once I click on "Create" button, the page does like an immediate refresh, and the create button turns grey (disabled) and nothing happens.
Other deployments works as expected (web apps, vms etc)
Also one of my colleges tried without any luck either.
I've tried with multiple browsers, clear cookies and browse history, also tried in incognito mode.
Bruno, We've rolled out a change to the portal and this should be fixed. Can you retry?

Umbraco on Azure and Forms

I used the Azure portal to install an instance of Umbraco.
I need to use the Umbraco forms for a simple contact form.
The Umbraco instance contains the forms and I can perfectly create and configure everything I need about forms (fields, workflows, ...).
Problem is that I can't get to have it on any page.
The video here shows how to do it but when I click on the button as shown 23 seconds in the video, I can't find the forms and therefore not add my forms.
I tried to add the Razor line that it seem to generate based on the guid I get on the Form configuration page but when I save, the online page (I mean, the page of the actual website) is crashing (Yellow asp.net error page).
Does anybody knows what is going on here?
EDIT: Maybe I should mention that I did click on the Install button in the Forms section and waited until it refreshed the page. Surprisingly, it continues to prompt for installation now.
I found the answer.
Seems like when we installed Umbraco at first on Azure, the auto install failed at taking the database into account.
We had to manually edit the config file to make sure everything was all right.
However, some bits for the Forms were not referenced properly.
So I uninstalled the forms completely and reinstalled them from scratch and it started to work fine.

Using gitlab interface

I am in a process of learning gitlab and have created some test projects.
But I just cannot figure out how to delete these projects. I do not see any "Dangerous Settings " options on my page/project as some forums suggest.
(Please see attached picture of my gitlab page to see what I see)
Please note : when I click on my projects I get "404 Page not found" but the activity log shows that I have pushed files.
Thank you
I depends on the version of GitLab you are using.
Issue 9890 mentions:
When you want to remove a project in its settings (/<owner>/<project>/edit) and confirm the pop-up (where you have to enter the project's name), the project is deleted..
But you're not redirected to a different site automatically. Since the project is gone, the current site /<owner>/<project>/edit does not exist anymore so you're getting a 404.
This was fixed in 8.2.3 (commit 2497d3d)
You can delete those projects from admin area.
Login with the admin account
Go to Admin area (the wrench icon on the top right corner)
Click on Projects on the left side bar
There is a list of your projects, then just delete what you want.
(I am using GitLab 8.2.1)
I realized I wasn't enrolled as admin . That is why I wasn't seeing the gear tool to modify my projects.
Thank you Van and Issue 9890 for your response.

Can't add webpart to SharePoint page

On my sharepoint site I am unable to add an existing basic webpart to a page where I've added webparts before. I am a site owner. I am using IE 8. I also work remotely using VPN.
The strange thing is IE won't even open up the EDIT MODE.
When I use Google Chrome, it is able to open up EDIT MODE, and it was also able to open up the Add Web Part popup, but when you actually select a web part and press ADD...nothing gets added to the main page.
The extra strange thing is from Google Chrome, I am able to delete and modify existing webparts.
I've upgraded to IE 9 and the same issue still happens.
i assume the similar issue you would be facing with firefox it seems your css is not compliant with IE8 try using ie8 in campatibility mode or use following querystring parameter at end of ur url
toolpaneview=2 and see what is the result
I had that problem and it appeared that a CSS file was messing up with the Ribbon controls.
Try to disable a CSS file at a time.
Regards,
Pedro
We had this issue (or at least a very similar one) where, in edit page mode, clicking on 'Add a Web Part' had no effect. I was assuming that it is a JavaScript issue. In, I beleive, the same day, it effected both my Production and DEV Site Collections, in IE8, Firefox and Chrome. We restarted all of our servers and ran the config wizard. No good.
We were able to create new pages which seem to be uneffected.
For an existing page, our workaround is to edit the properties of the page, then, down at the bottom, select 'Open Page in Maintenance View'. Select one of the Web Parts and Close it. Note: It seems as though if you unselected the 'Allow Close' checkbox, it wont be on this list. Then click on the 'Go Back to Web Part Page'. Click on the zone where the closed Web Part was. You may now be able to 'Add a Web Part'. If so, the last Web Part folder on the left will be 'Closed Web Parts' which I beleive you can put back (Open) the closed Web Part.
I have see this issue occur when someone else has the current page open in edit mode. Until that person either checks in or undoes there checkout you will not be able to edit the page.
