I have this code to embed a bot as a live chat using direct Line API instead of the usual iframe but when i put in my directline secrete key, the Bot is occupying the whole web page. I need it to appear by the bottom right of the web page and pop up as a life chat when a user clicks on it. Please someone should guide me in achieving this. Thanks

Your problem is about the way you are displaying your div including the bot: <div id="bot"/>
You can style this div to appear like you want; there are several samples provided on the bot Webchat Github project:
For sidebar display: https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/blob/master/samples/sidebar/index.html
For fullwindow : https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/tree/master/samples/fullwindow
I would highly suggest to take a look at the 1st sample which has a demo of narrow, normal and wide div

As Nicolas R suggested, you can style the container div <div id="bot"/> to position it at bottom right corner of web page. I achieved same requirement in a project, the following sample code works for me, you can refer to it.

Microsoft Bot Framework Unable to get the passed username in the bot from webchat UI

I am using the latest version of the web chat as below
``
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
html, body { height: 100% }
body { margin: 0 }
#webchat {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="webchat" role="main"></div>
<script src="https://cdn.botframework.com/botframework-webchat/master/webchat.js"></script>
<script>
window.WebChat.renderWebChat({
directLine: window.WebChat.createDirectLine({ token: 'MY_TOKEN_FROM_AZURE' }),
userID: '1234',
username: 'Chinni',
locale: 'en-US',
botAvatarInitials: 'WC',
userAvatarInitials: 'WW'
}, document.getElementById('webchat'));
</script>
</body>
</html>
``
I sent a username from the renderwebchat() but the same is not accessible in the bot
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(MessageFactory.Text(turnContext.Activity.From.Name), cancellationToken);
The output is null in the web chat. Can someone help me over here.
Thanks!
You may have a mistake somewhere in your implementation, because I confirm that it is working. As you can see, I have the values available:
On the bot side, here is how I send those messages:
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(turnContext.Activity));
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync($"Value of 'turnContext.Activity.From.Id': '{turnContext.Activity.From.Id}', 'turnContext.Activity.From.Name': '{turnContext.Activity.From.Name}'");
And on the webchat demo page, I used the same code as yours (except that I used my own token)

I clone this repo https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat and I managed to edit css in local.
I would like to know what I need to deploy to use webchat online ?
Thanks you for you help

After you customize&build your own web chat, to embed web chat in your website, you should include your built botchat.css and botchat.js file in your project and reference botchat.css and botchat.js in your web page.
I want to add a widget like this to open my chatbot, what I need to do?
It seems that you’d like to display the chat icon in your web page to allow user dynamically open/collapse your web chat, to achieve the requirement, you need not to modify the botchat.js file, the following code sample work for me , you can refer to it.

document.getElementsByClassName("wc-header")[0].setAttribute("id", "chatbotheader");
document.querySelector('body').addEventListener('click', function (e) {
e.target.matches = e.target.matches || e.target.msMatchesSelector;

How to have an application like in this post?
if you want to use iframe then you can't customize the design . for customize design you need to use Direct line by you can change design as well as make bot fully responsive.
Here is the code i am using working fine for me:

To deploy your bot follow those steps:
Create an Azure account.
You can create free trial Azure subscription from here.
Deploying the a MS Bot framework code to Azure:
You can see this video deploying a MS Bot framework code to Azure
WebChat channel using Visual Studio.
Also you can check this tutorial. (However, this tutorial use old version of Azure portal).
After connecting the bot with WebChat channel, you can use the Embed code in your HTML code.

Open kendo window in maximize mode as default

I want to open kendo windows in maximize as default when click on button.
i have achieve using
$("#window").data("kendoWindow").maximize().open();
with actions: [ "Maximize", "Close"] and when i click on close button of kendo window and reopen the kendo window then it duplicates the restore button.
I know this question was asked 11 months ago but for those who came to this page looking for a solution, you simply need to open the window first and then maximize it.
$("#window").data("kendoWindow").open().maximize();
That simple!
I'm using UI for ASP.NET MVC, v.2016.2.714 and it works for me.
I'm posting this sample that is working here. Please try in this Kendo release.
$("#dialog").kendoWindow({
actions: [ "Maximize", "Close"],
draggable: false,
height: "300px",
modal: true,
pinned: false,
position: {
top: 100,
left: 100
},
resizable: false,
title: "Modal Window",
width: "500px"
});
$( "#target" ).click(function() {
$("#dialog").data("kendoWindow").maximize().open();
});

how to ajax a Google maps using phone gap or cordova

I've created a PHP file named maps.php that contains a simple Google Maps API that works on the iPad's default browser.
But when I call it using Ajax, the page loads itself but not the map. If I open the link in a desktop or mobile browser it works fine.
You can show google maps by accessing google's javascript api.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css">
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#map_canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&sensor=SET_TO_TRUE_OR_FALSE">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>
</body>
</html>
Or you can load any php page directly in webView by using window.location="http://www.mourady.me/alhokair/iphone/maps.php" javascript method, as your php page contain google map in canvas tag, you can not load that in div through ajax call, better way used iframe tag to the job.
<html>
<body onload="bodyload()">
<button onclick="bodyload()">Ajax call</button>
<iframe id="mapDiv" height=500px width=700px src="http://www.mourady.me/alhokair/iphone/maps.php"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
