Check-in as a Foursquare Page? - foursquare

does anybody know how to check-in now as a Foursquare Page? It worked in the past.
I do usually check-in as a foursquare.com/airsmolik … and I'm using this plugin to show it on my website airsmolik.com/contact/
The plugin is working but the "Check-in" button on desktop version of Foursquare venues disappeared for pages.
Does anybody knows how to check-in as a page now?
Thanks

There was possibility to check-in as a page if you know the venue URL exactly on website of 4SQ. But currently this option is completely missing.
I did not find some clue about this change in 4SQ help. Their support does not know, that it was even possible in history.
Also make new page is really hidden. History of check-ins as page is still shown in venue details. So I do not know, I mean it was disabled and is no longer possible.
Update 2015-04-14: I ask 4SQ support and answer is: "Currently that is not an option!"

Adding Support Page to Web Store Extension Page

I'm trying to add a support page right in the extension window but all that I can find is adding a link to another page. I've included some pictures, as I don't know how to really describe the feature.
that's what I have currently, and below is what I want to have-
This is a screenshot of what I have on the dev page, concerning the support feature-
I'm not sure what I need to change, so any help would be appreciated! (Directed here from this chrome forum thread)
Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard
Click "Edit your User Feedback preferences"
Check the "Enable User Feedback for all my apps in Chrome Webstore." box.
Note that neither you nor your users will get notified of new posts made in the webstore support section, so you probably want to direct users to a third party support platform, such as issues on the project's Github repo.

Retrieve History of a specific Tab in chrome [duplicate]

I am developing a little extensions called "Tab Bundler", which in short saves all the open tabs in a window into a bundle that can be opened with the click of a button. When a bundle is opened however, no history of how the user got to that url is saved, ie. the user can't click back to see how they got to that url. This is functionality I want to implement. I looked for a while, googling, looking thoroughly through the google chrome extension documentation: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/history.html. But I couldn't figure out how to get this information without tracking it myself. Is that the only option I have? Any thoughts would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
Look, many people tried this before. You are not alone in this quest!
At the moment the answer in Google Code was: anybody asked for it when they where developing the History API. Then there's no elegant way to access tabs' history.
Of course, you can hook chrome.tabs.onUpdated to record every page and make your own tab's history...
You could probably hook chrome.tab.onUpdate as well as some state or focus change hook to correlate.
I really want this, please make it!

Gmail contextual gadget broken (again)

Link to previous issue: Gmail contextual gadget broken
Yesterday we received a couple of customer complaints regarding our Gmail gadget. They claimed that it had gone missing from their account. This morning, several of our employees have reported the same although, this isn't happening for everyone.
We haven't made any changes to the gadget and since it loads for some, I don't think this was caused by us.
What happens:
The window of the contextual gadget does not appear in the main Gmail interface
The window of the contextual gadget does not appear when opening an email in a new window (shift + click). This differs from when this happened previously.
We've also contacted Google and they have responded that they are looking into the issue. We've also seen that the shift-click to open an email in a new window doesn't work as a work around this time.
The last time this happened our monitoring showed that about 10% of users lost their access to the gadget per-day. We seeing a similar drop off in activity this time around.
Here are the details of the response I received from Google for this issue
Thank you for contacting Google for Work Support. I understand that
that you Gmail Contextual Gadgets have disappeared again from the
Gmail web interface.
I notice there are other user reporting a similar behavior hence he
have requested an update from our Eng team and I am currently waiting
for their response. As soon as I have an official response, I will be
contacting you back directly with the next steps.
Also I notice you mentioned that the previous workaround is no longer
working. Previously the workaround provided was to press "Shift" and
then click on the email. The email will be opened in a new window and
then the gadgets should be displayed. Can you please confirm if the
above workaround is working or not?
I’ll keep this case open while I wait for your reply. If you have any
other questions or additional comments, don’t hesitate to reply and
I'll be happy to continue helping you.
Sincerely,
Wilmer Google for Work Support
Here is the latest update from Google
As before this issue appears to be UI based as opposed to any problem with the Contextual Gadget API itself, we've gathered some troubleshooting information from affected test environments and are working on identifying a clear root cause and then remedying the behaviour at the moment.
There isn't any further you need to do on your end, I'll update you as I learn of any changes in the status of this behaviour.
Regards,
Patrick

How to get support tab for Google Chrome extension

I'm not sure if this is the correct exchange for this questions as I don't think it is explicitly programming related, but I can't think of a better place to ask the question.
I keep seeing this tab for chrome extensions that allows users to ask questions, suggest things or submit problems:
I haven't been able to find anything in the developer dashboard or in documentation about this tab. I know that I can get a support tab with a link by adding a url to the support link field in the project settings, but I can't figure out how to get the functionality shown here.
Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard
Click in the link:
Edit your User Feedback preferences: User Feedback is disabled
And then enable it.
It's the same answer for Where does the Chrome web store "Support" tab come from?, it works for Apps and extensions.

What are some good pages to redirect users to if they are using an old browser?

Such as this one: http://www.webstandards.org/upgrade except it's just awful and is way out of date (use Netscape 7? really?)
I am going to require IE9+ and the latest versions of the rest of the browsers.
Thanks.
http://browsehappy.com/ is probably my favourite. I probably wouldn't redirect though. Maybe a popover/modal with the link in it? A little less militant.
Redirecting the user when using your site to an upgrade page can be quite frustrating for the user (also, the number of users who actually upgrade from their favorite "old" browser is lower than we'd hope.)
I would suggest displaying a dialog urging him/her to upgrade to use the full site, while displaying a basic HTML-only (or scaled up mobile) site.
http://www.browser-update.org/ helps you display an unobtrusive notification, urging the user to upgrade.
