I currently have 160k active registered devices on my notification hub. Each one has a set of tags. I have added a new feature in my application and the user can turn notification on/off for this feature. We currently manage the on/off state by registering a tag. We would like to deploy this feature with everyone on by default, which means we would need to add this tag to every registration. Is it possible to do this efficiently? My current solution is taking way too long:
var result = await HubClient.GetAllRegistrationsAsync(currentToken, 100);
foreach(var r in result)
{
//get installationId from tags
var id = ...;
var installation = await HubClient.GetInstallationAsync(id);
installation.Tags.Add("newtag");
await HubClient.CreateOrUpdateInstallationAsync(installation);
}
This is taking way too long and even resulting in QuotaExceededExceptions. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? Is it possible to avoid the GetInstallationAsync call? Possibly getting all Installations directly, instead of going through the Registrations? How about updating the tags through the Registration without going through the Installation?
The short answer to your question is "no".
Does your app register its push token each time the user starts a session? If so maybe the best approach is to add the tag when each user launches the new version of the app for the first time.
Do you also have a server that keeps track of all the push registrations and user preferences? You could also update your table of all the user preferences with the new default setting, if the new feature does not depend on the user having the latest build of the mobile app.
We have developed an internal portal with multiple subsites using sharepoint office 365. We created our own page layouts/masterpage for the sites and most of the things like menu's, page body and page logos are customized(unique for all sites/subsites).
Each page has a header logo and a url assigned to that logo(logo describes site or subsite name). We have written a javascript file to load these logo and url and calling on the masterpage. Now the problem is these logo and link should load based on Global navigation
Example:
If the site is using the same navigation items as the parent site?
Yes - pull logo and link from site above
No - pull logo and link according to site name
if i get the GlobalNavigation setting value then i can do this in javscript file. Is there a way to get this GlobalNavigation setting value in javascipt file? I googled on this but didn't get enough information.
Thanks in advance,

Issue Context:
I am using meteor js for a mobile app.
I have hooked it up with google analytics calls and basically I am using two type of calls:
Screen views
Events
Screen views are just fine, but I'm facing an issue with the events.
When I go to Behavior -> Events -> Screens, in the google analytics dashboard, I can see the URL of every page that has triggered an event under the Screen Name column. My problem is that the page URLs for my login page look something like this:
meteor.local/login?username=*******&password=+++++++&rememberMe=on
Where ******* is an actual username and +++++++ is the corresponding password!
Reason:
Since I have to share this analytics account with multiple people, I do not want this information to be available over here.
Clues:
CLUE 1:
I used to do GET http calls, but I have changed them all to POST and it still has not fixed the issue as I expected it not to pass plain parameters through URL anymore.
CLUE 2:
I've noticed that the default google analytics js framework is working with http and not https. I was wondering if it is calling the analytics server with a GET as well. If so, is there anyway to change that?
CLUE 3:
Here is how I am initiating the GA instance:
(function (i, s, o, g, r, a, m) {
i['GoogleAnalyticsObject'] = r;
i[r] = i[r] || function () {
(i[r].q = i[r].q || []).push(arguments)
}, i[r].l = 1 * new Date();
a = s.createElement(o),
m = s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];
a.async = 1;
a.src = g;
m.parentNode.insertBefore(a, m)
})(window, document, 'script', '//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js', 'ga');
ga('create', googleKey, 'auto');
CLUE 4:
I have also noticed that these URLs are getting captured very occasionally. E.g. in the pas 12,500 unique events (about 30,000 total events) it has captured just 9 URLs with the username and password. The remaining 12,491 events have
meteor.local/login
OR
meteor.local/--
OR
localhost/--
as the Screen Name.
CLUE 5:
I have also put 4 "search and replace" global filters on the analytics account to search for this string
meteor.local/.*
and replace it with this one
meteor.local/concealedURI
This does not seem to be working either.
I have added this filter on 4 different fields (Since I still really don't know where the URLs are coming from):
Host Name
Page Title
Referral
Request URI
CLUE 6:
This is how I am calling the GA instance to send the event:
ga('send', 'event', 'button', 'click', eventName);
Okay. So, I had to run a lot of experiments and try out different things to solve this issue.
After trying all the things that I have described in the question, I finally found a way to address this problem.
The main cause of this problem was that I was using a google analytics account set to track an App, to capture the data from an app that was built with meteor js (which basically utilizes cordova).
Using meteor means that my app's screens are actually web pages rendered as a mobile app. It seems like meteor uses URLs to navigate through these screens.
On the other hand, google analytics looks at (and captures) the screen name of an app's page, when an event is triggered from that page. In native apps this screen name will be something similar to "About us", "Contact Us", "Home", etc.
Now since a meteor app is not the same, the screen name returned by meteor is actually the URL of the page that has triggered the event.
This does not have anything to do with the http calls (Whether or not they are GET or POST), because it is the local URL used by meteor for navigating that is being passed down to google analytics and not any http calls.
Solutions
1.
If I had the google analytics account set as a web page tracker, I could have access to "Exclude URL Query Parameters" field and I could potentially exclude username and password as was suggested by #Mike and #PhilipPryde in the comments.
However, I needed to use google analytics set as an app tracker. So, this did not work for me.
Failed
2.
I did put a filter on the whole view in the google analytics and searched for meteor.local/.* and replaced that with hiddenURL. The filters on
Host Name
Page Title
Referral
Request URI
did not work.
But when I put the same filter on
Screen Label
field, it worked.
However, this only looked at the screen names returned by screen view hits and not the event. Thus, this did not actually solve my issue either.
Failed
Finally, I had to do this:
There is a method call on GA instance that lets you set different options up. I ended up using this:
ga('set', 'screenName', 'hiddenURL');
This changed the screen name to "hiddenURL". So, I used this before every event and it worked for me.
My code for sending events to google analytics looked like this:
ga('set', 'screenName', 'hiddenURL');
ga('send', 'event', 'button', 'click', eventName);
PS:
This changes the screen name that was showing up in real-time reports of google analytics to "hiddenURL", whenever someone triggered an event. But, it changes back to a screen name as soon as they go to another page. So, it would not also mess with any of your screen view data either, since it is not being captured as a screen view.
Of course that is because, I pass the screen name to my GA instance every time I send a screen view. So it looks like this:
sendScreenViewToGA = function (screenName) {
ga('send', 'screenview', {
'appName': 'Something',
'screenName': screenName,
'appVersion': x.x
});
}
If I had used the screen name, that is being set on the environment tight now, I would have ended up with all my screen names in analytics set to "hiddenURL".
I really hope this post will help others with same issues and save them some time.
I haven't found that much information online about how to utilize the Social Part of SharePoint 2013 by Server Object Model. To understand and follow my question better i recommend you going to this site.
Lets say I have a Feature Receiver that is fired when i certain site is created and I would like to take advantage of the Follow Content Feature but instead of every time a site is created i would like to make the person that created the site automatically follow that site.
Does anyone got experience with working with the Social functionallity in SharePoint 2013? If so would be awesome with a summary how to use the different Social methods.
Social Actor
From what I've understood from reading about this you need to create a "Actor" to represent the item or in my case the site. SocialActorInfo which takes to properties ContentUri and ActorType.
SocialActorInfo actorInfo = new SocialActorInfo();
actorInfo.ContentUri = contentUrl;
actorInfo.ActorType = contentType;
Find and Check if that Actor is followed by the current user
Then you have to check if that SocialActor is Followed by the current user.
ClientResult<bool> isFollowed = followingManager.IsFollowed(actorInfo);
Follow/Unfollow the Site/Item
ClientResult<SocialFollowResult> result = followingManager.Follow(actorInfo);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
"followingManager.UnFollow(actorInfo);"
Questions,
If I want to follow a site, what kind of ActorTypes are there?
How do i do this with server-side code?
Additional Information
Microsoft says: When users follow documents, sites, or tags, status updates from documents, conversations on sites, and notifications of tag use show up in their newsfeed. The features related to following content can be seen on the Newsfeed and the Following content pages.
SharePoint Server 2013 provides the following APIs that you can use to programmatically follow content:
Client object models for managed code
NET client object model
Silverlight client object model
Mobile client object model
JavaScript object model
Representational State Transfer (REST) service
Server object model
Link to Follow Content in SharePoint 2013, I can just find how to do it with REST or CSOM.
Just wanted to Share, this Solved the task.
Just a Follow Method that takes a SPWeb object and a SPUser object.
SPServiceContext serverContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(web.Site);
UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(serverContext);
string userString = user.LoginName.ToString();
UserProfile userProfile = profileManager.GetUserProfile(userString);
if (userProfile != null)
{
SPSocialFollowingManager manager = new
SPSocialFollowingManager(userProfile);
SPSocialActorInfo actorInfo = new SPSocialActorInfo();
actorInfo.ContentUri = new Uri(web.Url);
actorInfo.AccountName = user.LoginName;
actorInfo.ActorType = SPSocialActorType.Site;
manager.Follow(actorInfo);
}
I’m having trouble finding documentation on Stack Overflow and on the Spotify Developers site around Deep-linking into a Spotify app from an external resource (i.e. a webpage). Can you provide a sample URI that would be used for an app with the name “mymusicapp”?
Thanks!
A URI for your app would be:
spotify:app:mymusicapp
To deep link, just keep going:
spotify:app:mymusicapp:artist:Coldplay
If you do that, the ARGUMENTSCHANGED event will fire on the application object.
var sp = getSpotifyApi();
var models = sp.require('$api/models');
models.application.observe(models.EVENT.ARGUMENTSCHANGED, function() {
console.log(application.arguments);
});
For more information, see the Application class documentation.
Does this answer your question? http://www.spotify.com/se/blog/archives/2008/01/14/linking-to-spotify/
There is also the Web api which can be useful for finding the links: https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/web-api/
