I have the same issue as listed below.
How do I open a document in XPages mobile controls from a URL?
My application notifies users about pending review using an embedded URL link in an email. The requirement is to open the document in mobile controls (SinglePage/App Page). As of now I get a grey page on ipad when the link is clicked from the email.

If you have built a mobile page you want to use a mobile prefix.
Go into application configuration>XSP properties
Change the option to use the mobile theme for pages that start "m_" and make sure your mobile page starts with the prefix.

Play video in full screen and hide Header menu bar in SharePoint online modern site

I am creating a landing page in SharePoint Online (modern experience site not classic).
I have below mention client's requirement.
Once user hit the SharePoint home page, it should show only the video in full screen and after completion of video the page should redirect to any other website.
Page should have only the video nothing else. Need to the hide the top header bar.
What I've tried so far:
I added the full-width section and linked to the video file. Section taking the full width but video is not coming in full screen. Video aspect size is correct when i am running the video in browser or any video player it is running in full screen.
I added the One-column section and added the video using "File viewer' and "embed' web part and in both cases video is not coming full screen.
Is it feasible to achieve these requirements? I searched in google and seems it is a known limitation and didn't get the solution.
What you are trying to achieve is not possible using SharePoint OOTB functionalities.
Using SharePoint OOTB, you cannot hide Header menu bar in SharePoint online modern experience.
For you requirements, you need custom solution using SPFx:
Create a SPFx web part to show the video on page
Hide SharePoint HTML elements (navigation, header, etc.) using custom CSS
Add a button to close the video & redirect to another page.
Note: DOM manipulation & CSS customizations are not recommended by Microsoft and some of your customization may break if Microsoft changes HTML element id/classes in new release updates.

Unable to change the web address in SharePoint 2013

So I am new to SharePoint 2013. I created a site page (web part page) and made that page into the homepage . Everything worked fine but when I click on the logo of the page it takes me back to my older homepage. I even went to site settings, Title description and logo to change the web address, however, it doesn’t allow the site pages to be on the web address. It doesn’t let me add “/“ to the url of web address so how do I fix it?
The logo URL is usually set in your master page. If you don't have access to SharePoint Designer or you want a less invasive approach, you can always try this option:

Basically, you choose which page you want to be your home page. This might work for your situation.

Custom Welcome Screen in Dynamics CRM

I Want to Show custom welcome screen when a user logs in to Dynamics CRM 2016. I searched and i just got how to disable welcome screen tour but i couldn't find how to show my own custom screen (message or HTML).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Make a dashboard with a single large HTML web resource.
Place your content inside that HTML web resource.
Set that dashboard as the default for new users. Display a specific dashboard by default for a specific user role
You can also add your welcome page as HTML web resource, add its link to your sitemap and set this sitemap subarea as a default tab for every user.
EDIT (detailed description):
Create custom HTML web resource and publish it in CRM.
Edit your sitemap to contain link to newly created web resource. Sample configuration below:
Sample
In my case my web resource HTML name is "new_welcome.html"
Go to user's personal options and set your new site.map position to be your user's default tab. You may do this with CRM interface (separately for every user :()) or with the tools for personal options mass update (for example with User Settings Utility from XrmToolBox)
Sample results of above mentioned operations:
Solution of you problem is Announcements.
Its easy to configure and easy to circulate the information across all the users.
Follow the below links for more information about Announcement,
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm-customer-center/broadcast-announcements-to-an-entire-organization.aspx
I would suggest not to use announcements because of the following reasons:
It is legacy functionality from CRM 2011 version.
It does not support rich text formatting or html components, images, etc.
You still need to create custom web resource to present it to the end user (so from the work effort perspective it also does not make sense)

SharePoint - What Causes a Blank Screen When a Registered User Views a Page?

I have a fairly simple page in WSS3. It's basically a web part page with a custom webpart to display some text and a embedded video from Vimeo, a custom webpart to handle newsletter submissions (a simple form) and a couple of document libraries.
I'm using Forms authentication. My admin user can sign in and browse the rest of the site with no problem, but this one particular page causes the user to be presented with a blank white screen. If I view the source of the page I can see the correct markup and the issue only occurs in IE.
When browsing the site anonymously there is no problem.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
It sounds like a javascript problem to me - the document library view will render extra menus etc. if you are an authenticated user with some contributing rights to the site. It's probably these that are colliding with something else and causing your issue.
As you'll have no control over the document library viewer web part, I suggest you remove your custom web parts from the page (with the document library viewer on it) and readd them until the page breaks.
I had a similar issue at one point in that we were overriding some functions that were in a SharePoint js library, however as the SharePoint file was registered at the bottom of the master page and ours were in webparts (which loaded first but were subsequently overridden by the OOB file), we had some unexpected behaviour. I fixed it in the end by adding our custom part to the master page after the OOB file was registered.

Is it possible to put a Content Editor Web Part in a sharepoint app page

Is it possible to put a Content Editor Web Part in a sharepoint app page along with the ability to edit the web parts contents from the browser? In other words have it behave as it would on a web part page.
I can get the web part to show but I have no clue if it can be setup for in browser editing on the application page ... I can't get it to show the edit button.
Jay
You can put a Content Editor WebPart on an application page because it's just a special kind of web control, but there is no web part manager on the page and even if you added one it would not have a record in a content database for the page. So it would not know where to store the information.
