Remove widgets from p:dashboard via dragging out - primefaces

I'd like to add support to removing the widgets from p:dashboard via dragging the panel out of dashboard, such as in WordPress admin panel.
I've found out the examples of dragging the widgets between 2 dashboards, but in my case I need to have callback when the element is dragged out of dashboard, no matter where. The widget would be than removed. However, I couldn't find any example for such behaviour.
What components/tools to use to implement such functionality? I'm using PrimeFaces 3.4.

Use draggable component with dashboard keyword;
<p:draggable for="widget" dashboard=":dbForm:dashboard"/>
And check this solutions on forum page of primefaces: Dashboard Drag and Drop
Hope it'll help you.
Good Luck!

How do I hook paper-tabs and core-animated-pages together?

I've been going over Rob Dudson's I/O talk (at 27:00) and trying to use core-animated-pages with paper-tabs.
When I click the tab, I would like some respective content to be shown, with the animation.
I tried to follow Rob's approach of using the designer, but somehow I do not get the 'selected' property in the properties panel.
The polymer docs cover tabs and animated-pages separately, so I don't know how I can get them to work together.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
There is a bug in the currently deployed designer tool that prevents certain bindable attributes from being displayed in the properties pane. It has been fixed in master, so the next time the Polymer team deploys the tool, it should fix your problem.
In the meantime, you could install the tool using bower install Polymer/designer#master to get the fixed version locally.
core-animated-pages works with div tags. Then just add addEventListener to select the page.
Here is a working example (jsfiddle): Click here.

Is it possible to bind a command directly to an app bar button?

I'm creating an MVVM style application for windows phone. With a regular button, you can bind anything that inherits from ICommand to the Command property on a xaml button, like so:
The command property does not seem to exist for buttons in the phones app bar ("shell:ApplicationBarIconButton"). Has anyone figured out how to bind their click event to a Command yet?
It's not possible from the SDK directly, but the AppBarUtils library ( http://nuget.org/packages/AppBarUtils or http://appbarutils.codeplex.com/ ) works nicely.
The codeplex site has example code for different scenarios such as reusing or switching the app bar in a page.
I didn't understand how to use the chosen solution so I went for another one. You just add the library via nuget. It's BindableApplicationBar
Then you just add the following instead of your normal application bar.
<bindableApplicationBar:Bindable.ApplicationBar>
<bindableApplicationBar:BindableApplicationBar >
<bindableApplicationBar:BindableApplicationBarButton
Text="Refresh"
IconUri="/Images/refresh.png"
Command="{Binding RefreshCommand}" />
</bindableApplicationBar:BindableApplicationBar>
It's just a shame that intellisense doesn't reconize the tags. Otherwise, it works like a charm.

Share widgets not showing on wordpress

Could someone tell me why social sharing widgets won't appear on the following blog:
http://geckomonitor.com/blog/
I've added them in wp-admin and activated etc. I've tried to add sharethis and addthis.
Thanks
Most of the time, when you install a widget, apart from activating it, you also need to place it in a certain area on your site.
To do that, login to your Wordpress backend, and select Appearance > Widgets.
If you can't see that menu-item, that means the theme you're using doesn't support widgets. You'll have to make sure it supports it before you can use your widget.
If you can see that menu-item, you'll probably see your widget in the list of 'Available widgets'. Just drag it to a region on the right and it will appear on your site.
You can find more info on Wordpress widgets here: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets

using PopUpManager in a Flex 4.5 Mobile 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;

Monodevelop: can't drag widgets

I am trying to use monodevelop. Just at the beginning I came across an issue:
I was following a tutorial on building a Gtk application (http://monodevelop.com/Stetic_GUI_Designer). I was trying to drag a button from the Widgets Palette. Nothing happened. I'd been trying quite a few times without any luck.
After a break I launched monodevelop again and I simply placed a button on the window of the application. After that I removed it, dragged VBox container, and placed menu bar on the window, according to the tutorial instructions. I was pleasantly surprised.
By the second try the same problem occurred - I was not able to drag any widgets. Dragging was beginning, there was a “+” sign at the cursor and then - nothing was happening. I cannot figure out what happened by the first time, what the difference was. Have anyone had a similar problem? Monodevelop looks promising, but I can't go on with it. (I tried placing 'Fixed' container on the window, with no result - I could not drag it.)
(monodevelop v. 2.4, ubuntu 11.04, Polish language.
I did look for an answer to my problem, without much luck, that is why I post this question. The problem is described quite precisely. There is a probability that others encountered the same issue.)
You need to drag a container on the form first before you can add widgets to it. The VBox container is an example of a place where you can put your widgets.
If you want to place widgets where ever you want you can use the Fixed container. If you want things to align you can use the VBox, HBox or Table containers. Placing in a widget in one of the fields will automatically adjust the size of this field to fit the widget you have dragged into it.
So basically,
Create a form
Drag a container on the form
Drag a widget inside the container.
These widgets are not to be confused with the custom made widgets (in your Solution browser, right click the folder User Interfaces and click Add Widget...). These are like forms. I use these to create GUI's in advance so I can call these while the program is running.
FYI: if you want to create code for a widget (like a button) you can't just double click it like in Visual Studio. You need to select it, the go to the properties pane, and change the tab from Properties to Signals. You can then double click the "signal" to create the event for which you want to create code. For a button this is usually the Clicked event (somewhere at the bottom of the list, you'll need to open the Button Signals)
You can always visit the IRC channel of Monodevelop on irc://irc.gimp.org/monodevelop (IRC.Gimp.org #monodevelop)
I also sit in this channel and can help with smaller problems and I also still use Monodevelop 2.4.
