    - Embed small mashup - overlay is quite large... Hi, I've made a very small mashup that takes some images from my flickr account and makes a grid of them. I then put them into a web page: http://d0.phys.washington.edu/~gwatts/test.html As you can see, Popfly puts up a small overlay. Since this mashup is designed to be quite small, that overlay is, well, large and rather distracting. I understand why it is there. Is there any thing I can do -> Make it disappear until the user mouses-over -> Just make it gone -> Make it smaller for this small mashup Many thanks! Cheers, Gordon.

    - Suggestion: rename "Find Users" Suggestion: Rename “Find Users” on the main banner menu to something more flattering/engaging, such as Find Coders, Find Builders, Find Popflies, Find Friends, etc. Also, I didn't realize there was a friends capability until I got an email from a coworker asking to link up in Popfly. Once I knew it was in there somewhere, it took me awhile to discover that the “add friends” (distinct from invite friends) capability was buried in “Find Users”. I kept looking for it in My Profile or one of the other left sidebar menus under my account. -Danny Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

    - Pushpin icon offset in v5 If you need to set the offset, you can do it through the VECustomIconSpecification by hiding it inside of a <div> tag with the offset set inside the style. Something like: Code Snippet var CustomIconSpecification = new VECustomIconSpecification("<div class=”CustomPin”><img src=” http://dev.live.com/virtualearth/sdk/img/poi_viewer.gif“</div>"); VEShape.SetCustomIcon(CustomIconSpecification); Where CustomPin is the CSS class that contains the offset Hope that helps, Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

    - 'Checkerboard' effect when using road/hybrid mapping It's a thought, but if that were the case, surely it would be affecting everyone in my office rather than just me Seems to be machine-specific, and also it's not something that's gone away at any point since it started happening Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

    - Detecting if the client doesn't supports Activities You will want to determine that the user can open Activity Windows *and* the user is not on mobile. You will do the folloowing check and then call the MSNSLPUserCanNotOpenP4Window proc. if (CLIENTID & 512) != 0 || (CLIENTID & 1) != 0 || (CLIENTID & 4026531840) < 1073741824 call MSNSLPUserCanNotOpenP4Window() DEFINITIONS: (CLIENTID & 512) != 0 -- checks if the user is on the web (CLIENTID & 1) != 0 -- checks if the user is on mobile (CLIENTID & 4026531840) < 1073741824 -- checks if the user is on an old version of Messenger Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

    - making pages public On the "My Projects" page which is linked to from the top right. You can share a mashup by clicking on "Share" once shared click on the "Embed" link, you will see some HTML containing an iframe tag withing the tag there is an attribute 'src' which has a URL. That URL is the anonymously accessible URL for your mashup. With a shared mashup the URL looks like: htttp://www.popfly.ms/UserName/ProjectName.small Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

    - Can you change Pin icon dynamically Thanks for your suggestion Derek. I needed to change the icon itself, so changing the style didn't quite fit. In the end I used a similar approach, getting a document node for the pin, finding the first child img tag and updating this object's src property. The code to this turned out to be relatively straight forward, although care would obviously have to be taken that the first img tag was always the item showing the pin's icon. function UpdatePinIcon(pinId, icon) { var pinNode = document.getElementById(pinId); if (pinNode) { pinNode.getElementsByTagName("img")[0].src = icon; } } Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

    - LiveID control hosted within IFRAME Say I write a web application that requires LiveID signin. This web application should be hosted within another web application as IFRAME. Something along the following lines: <body> <iframe src="http://www.mydomain.com/liveidauth.aspx" ></iframe> </body> Is this possible It appears that this is not possible due to the way redirects work. After signing in, I am not back within the IFRAME, but in a new window. Thank you! Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

    - How to allow unlimited number of users of a MSN Messenger bot? I advice you do like this: You can apply one mainly MSN account like MSNBuddy@hotmail.com . This is for your broadcast this MSN account. Then you can apply MSNBuddy1@hotmail.com , MSNBuddy2@hotmail.com ... and MSNBuddyN@hotmail.com . You can say "The number of my buddy reach the limit" when someone add MSNBuddy@hotmail.com . You can tell him add MSNBuddy1@hotmail.com to instead . Like this, You will get 1500* N for your robot. HT wrote: I have now used the DotMSN library ( http://www.xihsolutions.net/dotmsn/ ) to write a bot that communicates with an application on my server. This worked fine until the number of users of the bot reached 1500. It seems that the bot is allowed to have only 1500 contacts on its allowed list. I guess this is a limit from the Messenger protocol Is there a way to create a bot with more than 1500 users I bot needs to allow unlimited number of users.. Can someone recommend me a solution to this Is there a library or a supplier which will allow unlimited number of users of the bot Thanks in advance. Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

    - Activity Pane not loading page Thanks for the quick response. This brings up another question though...the xml file has a url in it. In my case I need to be able to drive the activity pane to a variety of urls. Is there a method to do something like that In other words with one response from the bot I'd like to include a particular page...and in a different response yet another web page...ultimately there might be hundreds of urls that my bot would direct users to. Ultimately I'm not really doing activities, but rather acting as a traffic cop directing my users to different sites based on the questions they ask. Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

    - Variable in setCustomIcon ? Thanks for the reply. I will try your suggestion of declaring the HTML outside the setCustomIcon method. I noticed the interactive SDK used that technique, but the MSDN reference placed the HTML inside the method's argument....which is the way I did it. You are right about variable scope. In my case, I will use the value of a control which is global (getElementById.....) Tag: live contacts in virtual earth

The My Live Contacts block is a wrapper around the Live Contact Gadget (http://dev.live.com/contactscontrol/v0.2/default.aspx). If you run the Live Contacts block by itself, you'll see more clearly this behavior. I'm afraid it's doing what the underlying gadget is designed to do.
