Is there Launcher or Chooser to show Settings->Application->Background Tasks? - windows-phone-8

I want to open Settings->Application->Background Tasks page in my wp8 app, can I do that? Thank you!

According to the official MSDN documentation, there is no URI mapping for the background tasks.
Maybe you can add it on the User Voice page: http://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-dev-platform.

Create a HTML project in GitLab

I am trying to host a static web page in gitlab. But the problem is that the main page appears in a url like this:
https://anycustomname.gitlab.io/tutorials/
But I don't want the /tutorials/ at the end of the URL.
I want people to visit my website by entering the following:
https://anycustomname.gitlab.io
And not this:
https://anycustomname.gitlab.io/tutorials
I know it is possible.
I just don't know how to configure this.
Google and YouTube were not much of a help.
Thanks
This is covered in the documentation.
You need to name your project anycustomname.gitlab.io instead of tutorials.

How to set referer when user comes from Google Chrome app icon?

I have a chrome app which basically is just a visual bookmark which sends the visitors to my website.
Currently it doesn't show any referer because technically the user came directly to the website.
Is there a way to detect this?
I understand I can append some query parameters in the URL of the chrome app but I am wondering if there's a cleaner solution than this.
The chrome.webRequest property should allow you to set the information you need. I couldn't find exact details that would help but there is an Auth option which you may be able to use as a referrer.
Hope this helps. Sorry I could not help further.

Is there anyway to install an extention without visiting to google app store?

Is there anyway to install an extention without visiting to google app store?
For example I want visitors, can install my extention just one clicking a facebook ad or a banner?
Is it possible?
I read some article that mentioning about to verified site ownership to do this. But I want to make advertisement on facebook so I wouldn't be owner of the web page...
Does anyone have information on this subject?
Thanks.
Right click on the Chrome shortcut
In the Target field, add --enable-easy-off-store-extension-install after what's already there, let a space before
Save and start Chrome
You're probably looking for inline installation, performed via chrome.webstore.install.
In your webpage:
include <link rel="chrome-webstore-item" href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/itemID">, where the URL is the address of your extension
then. call chrome.webstore.install().
Unfortunately, you can't do either of those things on a basic Facebook page, but you could do it on a web page you can fully control.

how I can personalize the chrome contextmenu?

I would like, when I select a word in web page and I do a right-clic, have in the contextmenu the possibility :
1) start a program of me (script perl)
and / or
2) can do a seek with the selection in a web page (like google or OPAC ...)
Sorry for my english (can you be very explicit, please)
Thanks, marc
If you are writing an extension, there is a contentMenu API that allows extensions to add this functionality. If you're just an end user, you can try looking for what you want in the Chrome Web Store.

Opening iBook File on iPad from HTML Link

This is a bit of a strange question, but I have a client who's employees will be accessing an intranet site using company provided iPads. All of these iPads will have an book loaded into iBooks. They want us to link to that book from the intranet site. I can't find a way that this can be done. Does anyone know how it might be done? If not, do you know of a way that we can link to the iBooks application so that it will launch and at least give the user the menu of iBooks available on the device? Thanks in advance.
You can open directly to iBooks by using the url:
My Link
This is a possible duplicate of How do I launch iBooks e-reader programmatically on iPad?
You can open iBooks to a specific book now by including the assetid of the book you want to open. Example:
ibooks://assetid/1396541327
