I want to create fancy lock screen on my web portal. For javascript and timer I used https://github.com/maxfierke/jquery-sessionTimeout-bootstrap plugin. I got idea from many bootstrap admin templates like: http://webapplayers.com/inspinia_admin-v1.2/lockscreen.html.
If I use only javascript, page will be displayed (redirected), but, I can easy back on previous page. Maybe I need expand my DB table with new column for detecting lock screen or enough create a cookie with some parameters.
Any idea, what is the best way to solve it?

I'm doing a training class right now and one of the games I plan on doing is a Jeopardy style of Q & A. The problem I'm trying to figure out is the buzzer. My idea is to use the projector as the question board I control. The trainees would go to an HTML page with nothing more than a single button. They would turn their monitors around to face me up front. As soon as I read the question they would click the button and it would change their screens the color red.
The button and background color change is easy enough, I got that. There are two problems I'm facing: 1) I need it so that they can't click the button until I'm done reading the question - this one isn't as important, I can just make up a rule. 2) Only the fastest person will have a red screen. To show me who clicked first. The others' buttons will be disabled.
I just have no idea how to even Google these two things. Like: "Disable button for other users"...? Or maybe, "only one click"...?
Any direction to search is appreciated. Eventually, I'd like to add other aspects to like the presenter could click an "incorrect button" then it would clear the screen and enable all the buttons again, for the answer steal.
You can do it with modern WebSocket or applications interact via TCP. However, WebSocket may be overkill for the simple application with a few teams. I faced the same problem before and developed a simple solution with PHP using Flock to write into a shared file on disk. Only request from one team gets the chance to write into that file. Stick to not to use WebSocket, the web page on client site does some polling to receive the "restart" signal from the server for the new question/round. It can run in LAN, different team gets different site, i.e. http://[server-ip]/team1, http://[server-ip]/team2.
You can have control over the round: allow them to press button/ restart, start a new question in http://[server-ip]/admin.
Further improvement can be made in several ways to facilitate your needs (i.e. assign team name, register team, use database instead of a flock file). The code is available here : https://github.com/minhhn2910/buzzergameshow
I would like to create one website. This website will have behave differently if I am viewing it at a specific event via a kiosk. The kiosk, will just be an iPad. I believe I can figure out how to lock down the iPad to act like a kiosk and just show my website based on this http://www.webascender.com/Blog/ID/447/How-to-Setup-Kiosk-Mode-Lock-Your-iPad-to-Just-One-App#.U9Fx3oBdVX4
But what I am asking is, in code, is there a way to detect that I am in 'kiosk' mode and show different pages? For example, if you are at home(or anywhere that is NOT the event) you should be able to hit my website to find out all about my company and to view your existing profile. You should be able to see these same pages on the 'kiosk'(the iPad while at an event) but you will now see additional pages such as pages dealing with the specific event and payment pages. Vice-versa you might be able to see additional pages on the website while at home that you will not see while in 'kiosk' mode.
I do not know if the solution is tools/language dependent as we have not settled yet on all tools/languages/frameworks we will be using to build the site and so I am open to all but we will definitely have some javascript/css/html.
I believe you will need to write a native app in order to detect whether you are in 'guided access' aka 'kiosk' mode.
Taken from Detect or react to Guided Access?
NSLog(#"Accessabilitiy enabled: %#", UIAccessibilityIsGuidedAccessEnabled() ? #"YES" : #"NO");
if (!UIAccessibilityIsGuidedAccessEnabled()) {
// show something since I'm not in guided access
}
If you want to know when it changes...
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(guidedAccessChanged) name:UIAccessibilityGuidedAccessStatusDidChangeNotification object:nil];
- (void)guidedAccessChanged
{
// do something when guided access changes
}
If you must work with a website then what you can do is write a native app that embeds a UIWebView. This class allows you to show websites within a native app. So, what you could do with this method is pass along the guided access setting to your website so that it can adjust itself accordingly.
If you know the IP address you can direct views using PHP (and probably a host of other programs). Or you can lock the iPad to only open a specific URL (http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com) and only have pages that you want viewed by the kiosk. I'm sure there are a mess of other ways too.
OK. So first, I will try my best to explain so good. My friend has gotten cursed out on this forum for not explaining, so I will explain. :)
Ok so I have my program built and all. But then it hit me! Wouldn't it be better to add a news feature? One teeny tiny problem? I cant? How would I implement a interactive code into an HTML page.
Like can i connect a button to a URL that will make the program do something. Almost like you can open cydia tweaks with there identifier and url EXAMPLE: http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/cydia And then i can add urls so i can update the program, without updating the files.
Or even just a featured news thing would be nice. But how would i implement this perfectly. I tryed a webrowser, but the page is too big for it. I am good at html, not much at css, i mostly use Adobe Muse http://www.adobe.com/Muse
Last question. Kinda defies the first thing i said about having my program finished.
Is there a way i can add a plus button and make it add more buttons and more labels and all?
This would help with allowing users to customize more then what the program can handle. By The Way, its a winter board Theme Maker. So I have a bunch of icons with there bundle identifiers and I create the folders with VB.net and all that stuff. But i want users to be able to click a plus button to add MORE text boxes and file browsers.
Any ideas? Maybe DIM 1 as NewFileBrowser? But i need to move all the buttons and i need it to be able to be clicked an infinity amount of times. I can do the coding for all of these buttons, but i jest need to know how to create them <1 Move them and the button so that the button goes further down each time, and more boxes will go further down. Much help apreciated. THANKS:)
EDIT:
Are you trying to say that you're wondering how to have a web browser control in a vb.net >app, which displays a web page, and when a button is clicked on the page, your app detects >it and does something? – Thraka
That sums up the top part. I am using windows forms, and it is coded in VB.net
If you get the object you want, like the button, you can hook the event and have it call code in your form.
Find the object using the Browser.Document.GetElementById method.
With that object, add an event handler to the Click event.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.htmlelementeventhandler(v=vs.110).aspx for information about the event handler used
I want to set up my view controllers like the Find My Friends iPad app. Based on what I've found so far, I believe that I need to:
Use a container view controller
Make the tab bar controller the root view controller of the container view controller
Add other view controllers, such as split view controller, as child view controllers to tab bar controller
Add some sort of callback methods to forward messages from the parent to the child view controllers (for rotation and appearance)
Can someone please confirm that I am on the right track? Also, if you can point to or add some sample code to help me get started, I will appreciate it.
Thank you.
You are correct. All 4 tabs on the "Find my Friends" iPad app are split views. It is actually very simple to get started with an app like that. I'm not sure what direction you are planning to take as far as content, but at least for the layout. Start a new project in Xcode and then choose master-detail application. It will automatically setup a split view with the left side as a table view and the rightside as a detail view. it will also presetup some editing methods and what nots. If you will be using core data at all, i would also highly suggest starting that with the checkmark as well. Good luck with your app!
This is more of a best practices question rater than something technical.
I'm working on a mobile app using the Flex 4.5 SDK and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle notification windows. In most cases these windows will be alerting the user to when something goes wrong. Ex: bad login, no data, cannot resolve server.
I'm using a singleton design pattern, I have a Requests class that handles server calls. Most popups will be originating from this class (IOErrorEvents from my loader being used to access the API). Since this class is a singleton and is used from all Views inside the app it is not aware of applications current view. I'm also not sure having this class keep track of the current view and having it push popups on top of it would be best practice.
I'm hoping that I can use PopUpManager to keep track of where to add popups and what popups are currently on the stage. Though all examples I've seen online about this show static Components being used in a views Declarations tag.
I'm really just looking for any examples or input on how you would solve this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I had the same problem, and sorted it by making an Alert popup component that you can call from anywhere in the code base, and it will pop up in the currently active window. It also has an always visible scrollbar text area which is handy

It works for a view navigator application, but if your using a tabbed navigator application, you can add a call for that, or simply change the code to
mainTabbedNavigator = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.tabbedNavigator;
currentTab = mainTabbedNavigator.selectedNavigator as ViewNavigator;
