Jomsocial connect - joomla-extensions

what are the popular connects available for jomsocial ie to connect it to facebook, gmail, yahoo etc... and to import friends from the same

you can try mod_hellome or mod_jomsocialconnect. Read about these on Jomsocial site. There is lot of documentation. Hope this helps.

JFBC (Jomsocial Facebook Connect) is the most feature full and advanced. Good support too. I looked into it quite carefully. Jomsocial is also building integration for JFBC natively into Jomsocial 3 as a alternative option to their own:

Send Direct Message Using Instagram Official API

I have been working with Facebook API and there documentation is awesome. Now i need to use the Instagram API and there documentation is not developer friendly, I want to use the Direct message functionality using Instagram API and i am unable to find that how to do it? as i can't see it in there documentation and I have been doing research for hours but unable to find any best possible resource.
I don't even know that are they providing the "Direct message" functionality or not? After my all research i have come to know about "Instagram Private API" which provides direct messaging functionality but i don't know that are they officially using there API's for messaging. I am sure they are using a Hack for that but i don't know that for how much time hack lasts long.
Any One who can guide me would be great.
I appreciate for your time and consideration.
Please do let me know about your concerns on this.
Thanks in advance!
A Bit Late To Answer (Aug, 2022)
I have successfully cracked it by myself, after doing a lot of research on google over this topic. You can use the mentioned deep link to open Instagram Direct with some text to share from your application,
instagram://sharesheet?text={AnyTextOrLinkToShare}
Moreover, the below code should work on iOS to launch Instagram Direct (Messenger) from your app with some content
if let url = URL(string: "instagram://sharesheet?text=https://google.com/") {
UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
}
Not sure, why did they hide this information from their official documentation but now who cares, I have achieved it with the continuous efforts of 16-18 hrs! :)

Can the spotify (windows) desktop client be extended?

I found no clues in the developer documentation, but equalify claims that it integrates into the desktop application. They don't offer a free version so I couldn't try it out.
Is it possible/supported to create extensions for the desktop client and is there some hidden documentation available?
I'd be interested in developing one, but so far I had no luck in finding any documentation.
It used to be possible using the Spotify Apps API. I think you can still manually sideload apps, but there is no App Store or similar. Moreover, support for old Spotify Apps is about to be dropped completely in the future.
So no, there's no way to extend Spotify as far as I know.

Is there any api for pubnub?

I want to work on personal project working with instant messaging. I was wondering if there were any APIs like pubnub that are open to the public.
thank you
You can find all the open source API's and tutorials at http://www.pubnub.com/developers
You can also find a tutorial on building an instant messaging like application at http://www.pubnub.com/blog/ditch-your-backend-with-pubnub-messenger/
Full disclosure I am a PubNub employee
All the PubNub SDKs and the APIs are open source and public. You can choose your favorite language and start coding by looking at Developer Resources and Docs. There are several examples for Building A Basic Chat Application | PubNub itself.
I think that a solution for your issue is openpush.

How to integrate PayPal in JSF application

I have to integrate Paypal with JSF/Seam. Is there any good tutorial out there.
You need to consult their developer documentation. I've never done it for Java, but a good couple of years back I did it for PHP. I still recall very good that they have had excellent code examples in their developer documentation which I could just copypaste and just alter slightly in order to get it to work. They had examples for Java/JSP as well (which in turn should easily be portable to JSF). Access to developer documentation only requires a Paypal customer account (which I don't have right now). Contact if necessary your customer for login details. Then you'll be able to access their developer documentation as well.

Integrating Instant Messaging into SharePoint!

Maybe this is a dumb question!
I'm just wandering is there any way/web part integrating with SharePoint, by which I can communicate with others instantly.
The reason behind this requirement is that I still have not found any workaround to communicate with my colleagues instantly, like MSN, in SharePoint.
P.s If I start building one, where should I get started!
Thanks for your input and forgive me if my question is stupid!
You can integrate Microsoft Office Communcations Server into SharePoint apparently. Gives you access to MSN Messenger internally to your enterprise, among other things.
Users who run Windows Live Messenger will get a precense icon for all user lookups when their email settings are configured properly. It requires all users to add each other to their live accounts, so it might not be the solution you are looking for. Another way to get the precense icon is by using Microsoft Office Communications Server as Moo suggested.
This also integrates well into Outlook and is the way Microsoft decided to implement communication in the Office suit.
Check out chatterbox:

Here is another open source feature I have been working on.
EDIT: The name of the feature is Sharepoint Messenger. You can find it either google search, codeplex or the link below.
