How to edit properties of webpart on an App page - spfx

Since SPFx 1.8 was release there is new type of pages - App pages. There is no edit mode on these pages. How i can change webpart properties without switching page into article and back?

You could probably use the Set-PnPWebPartProperty powershell command.
(https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-PowerShell/blob/master/Commands/WebParts/SetWebPartProperty.cs)
Or, you could - like you said - change it to Article and back, and only publish your changes after modifying the properties. This way visitors will never see the "article page" version

How do I set a default static page for a ASP.Net Core Web API Project when start debug in VS2015?

I'm using VS 2015 and have a ASP.Net Core 1.1 Web API Project.
If I start debug it will launch Edge with the following url: http://localhost:XXXXX/api/values
I have since long removed this controller but it still tries to find it.
I have read the docs and made the appropriate changes to be able to show a static file.
In my wwwroot folder i have a Index.html file.
If i manually navigates to http://localhost:XXXXX the file is displayed.
My question is: How can I make VS2015 show my Index page when I start debugging.
I found the option when right clicking the project and selecting properties. Then under the tab Debug, enabled Launch URL and entered the value.
Edit Properties/launchSettings.json - it stores launch url which VS use.

Linking article pages on joomla that do not exist as a menu item

How do we link an article page on Joomla without it being published as a menu item? We have tried using the ID number, but it does not work.
For example, within one of our published pages we want to link to another article page but this page does not exist as a menu item- so there is not an url to use.
Please provide step-by-step instructions.
If you prefer to NOT have to create URLs manually you can try switching the editor that Joomla uses by default (TinyMCE). Personally I find JCE Editor much more useful. With that you can quickly generate links to menu items, content or even contacts all from their 'Insert/Edit Link' modal popup. It also has a more robust image manager. JCE Editor can even be installed from the 'Install from Web' tab of the Extension Manager Install page.

AEM 6.2 How to switch from classic UI to Touch

How can we switch from classic UI to Touch UI in AEM 6.2. I see documentation to switch from touch ui to classic but not other way round.
Site Wide
In system console (http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr) there is an OSGi configuration for WCM Authoring UI Mode Service. You can change the property of Default authoring UI mode to TOUCH.
Per User
Login as the user, navigate to Projects (http://localhost:4502/projects.html/content/projects), select the user icon in the top right hand corner, select the settings icon, ensure that Authoring Mode has Touch-Optimized selected.
Other Items
You should also ensure the OSGi config for Day CQ Root Mapping has the property Target Path set to /projects.html
Here is a short cut to switch between the two UI modes:
Open any page from Site Admin by default it will load in Touch UI Mode. The URL will be say http://localhost:4502/cf#/content/test.html. Now to switch to classic UI you would write http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/test.html. Replace 'cf#' in the URL with 'editor.html'.
Three methods to do so are:-
[User Level]
[Global Level]Go to:-http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr
and choose WCM Authoring UI Mode Service
using cf# or editor.html
If your site is :- http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html
then
Classic UI :- http://localhost:4502/cf#/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html
Touch UI :- http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html

Unfortunately, Classic UI has been more or less abandoned since 6.1 and won't likely be updated anymore as Adobe is trying to move away from ExtJS.
That said what you could do is add a custom button to the sidekick that would navigate to the TouchUI, which would involves adding the editor.html at the root of the URL of the page (and removing the #cf if it's there)
You can follow this link that gives an example on how to add a new function to the Classic UI sidekick.

Frontpage modules appear on article pages

I have a very weird problem with a JS Jobs installation on Joomla 3.2.3.
http://bartenders4hire.net/index.php
I'm using some modules on the main page: new jobs, new resumes and jobs by city and when i click on a link within the modules the info will show up at the bottom of the front page, still showing all the modules. Obviously this is not the desired effect. I need to have those modules to be shown only on the front page.
I'm using a theme by rockettheme, already tried to adjust settings on the back end, but without any solution. Anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?
Articles without menu items are shown in the home page template by default. One solution is to create a hidden menu (simply an menu that's not published via a module) and create links to your articles in it. You can also create blog layouts to account for entire categories of articles in the same manner.

Get preview link to article before publishing

In Joomla 1.5, I created an article. Before publishing it, I want to send a preview URL to my colleagues (they are not registered to Joomla).
I'm looking for something like adding task=preview to the URL and it would show the article.
It would be enough if the article would be normally published but would not be displayed on the main page in the latest news. I tried to set "Front Page" to "No" but without success.
How can I solve the problem?
Joomla! 1.5 doesn't have a feature like this and from the way it's built I'm not sure it's possible without modifying the core com_content files. You could try a search of the Joomla! Extension Directory to see if someone has implemented what you're after.
In the meantime if the article is turning up on the websites front page even when you've set it not to - then the front page must be using a Section/Category Blog page style rather than a Joomla Frontpage page. In this case you could find out which category is set to show on the menu item being used for the front page and then temporarily change your article to another that doesn't appear there.
Once you've got it in another Category you should be able to get a link to the article by doing a search from the front end (assuming you don't want to create a menu link).
try creating a new category called Preview and since that wouldn't have been assigned to any pages yet, it should not appear. If you have trouble finding the article then, you could temporarily publish it either on the home page or somewhere in the menu. Then when you have found and copied the url, you can remove the article from the home page or menu or wherever you temporarily have it appear.
If you should ever want several 'preview' articles appearing on one page, create a new menu item, assign it to the Preview category you made, and in System Parameters, click on Show Title: 'No' so it doesn't appear in the menu. I don't know about what shows up in Google for example so if it's sensitive data I can't say it won't show in search engines, it probably will.
It probably appears on the Front Page because as you say it's part of the 'latest news' module. You could also try removing it from the module feed, but a new category is what I'd do.

I just selected Section: "Uncategorised" and the article went out from the latest news. Hope it's not accessible any other way in the current setup (there is no search function hopefully). It's not a cleanest solution, but it seems to work.
