Share widgets not showing on wordpress - html

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.

Accessing the CSS and HTML on wordpress version 4.8.1

I'm having a hard time trying to access my CSS & HTML files on my WordPress blog.
I posted a screenshot of what I CAN access, but it's not super straight forward,
However, I need to get into these settings so that I can change the display settings or screen dimensions?
My issue is that whenever someone goes onto my webpage: RobertNolfiRoofing.com
and they resize the window- it moves my content all around. What I want is a fixed setting so that if someone were to resize the browser window it would have a scroll bar, rather than moving content around.
Thanks!

In Wordpress 4.8.1, you can use (in almost any theme) the "Customizer" to add your own CSS: In the backend dashboard, choose menu Design > Customizer, which opens the customizer in a column at the left side. There, the last line is "custom CSS", where you can add CSS rules which either are additional or can overwrite existing CSS.

Remove widgets from p:dashboard via dragging out

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!

Menu Items in Windows 8?

Am trying to design my metro app like, In my homepage I need to display list of items in a menu on the left side of page and when we click on each item,every item will need to navigate separate page and contains some data.Can anyone suggest me which control should you I take to start my scenario?Working examples are really helpful to me.
Thank you.
Navigation in a WinRT App doesn't use the Menu/Menu-Item metaphor. You can add an App Bar that swipes up from the bottom of the screen that you place contextual controls such as buttons related to the current page or selected item(s). You can also add global settings to the Settings charm that swipes in from the right.
What you are describing sounds like the "Split App" template that comes out of the box with Visual Studio 2012. It consists of a list of items along the left-hand side of the screen which, when selected, change the content on the right-hand side of the screen. Try creating a new Split App and see if that helps.
This is not a completed worked example, but I would recommend looking at two items:
MSDN Documentation for WinJS.Navigation
MSDN Sample for navigation application
These should get you the solution you need -- the sample is quite complete, and can be tailored to your needs.
It sounds to me like what you are talking about is the SplitApp view. Check out this link, the second template listed, just below GridView:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh768232.aspx
You'll find that in Modern/Metro things like menus are handled through contextual listviews in the window content area, or through charms (read icons) on the AppBar. Many people hear menu now and cringe, just due to the style guidelines for Chrome/Menu free applications.
If you don't want the content to display next to the links, as the SplitApp view does, you should consider a regular listview for your links, styled however you like and set to display vertically, with click events that take you to whatever detailed page view you want to go to. Navigation is dead simple in a Metro App.
C# Example:
this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(MyDetailPage),myContentId);
Then on your details page, you can get the argument when it's navigated to:
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
var myContentId = e.Parameter;
...
}
And if absolutely none of the above was helpful, try checking out these examples. I know you probably aren't making an RSS reader, but they will take you through the basics of the various views and navigation.

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.

PyGTK: Packing widgets before tabs in a gtk.Notebook

Basically, what I want to do is put some buttons before the tabs in a gtk.Notebook. I tried making my own notebook type widget and it worked well, but it would have required lots more work to make it as flexible as I would like, also it wasn't as efficient.
Here is a mock-up of what I'm trying to achieve: http://imagebin.ca/view/84SC0d.html
Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.
Ben.
You might be interested to know that this functionality has been added in GTK 2.20, see "Changes in GtkNotebook" in the following announcement: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2010-March/msg00132.html
It's a hack, but you can put your widgets on a separate tab, and then prevent the tab from being clicked by registering the following switch-page event for the notebook:
def onTabsSwitchPage(self, notebook, page_notUsableInPython, pageNumber):
# Don't allow to switch to the dummy tab containing widgets
if pageNumber == <put correct tab number here>:
notebook.stop_emission("switch-page")
Note that this doesn't look good with all GTK themes, but it works...
I don't think there's any way to do it without making your own notebook widget. There are a couple of hacks. One was posted by AndiDog. Another is to hide the tabs altogether (notebook.set_show_tabs(False)) and make a toolbar with buttons above the widget, with your buttons on the left, plus one button for each tab in the notebook that switches to that page.
Instead of making your own notebook-type widget from scratch, you could inherit from gtk.Notebook, overriding some of the methods like expose_event, size_request, and size_allocate, in order to deal with two types of container children: pages and buttons. I don't know how to do this in PyGTK though, only in C.
You might also consider whether the buttons in the tab space are really what you want. What if the user resizes your notebook small enough that some of the tabs disappear? Where do the previous tab/next tab arrows go? What happens to the buttons?
