HipChat People Menu on Left - hipchat

This may well be a profoundly stupid question, but in HipChat how do I add people who are already on my team (and accessing rooms in HipChat) to the People menu on the left (below the Rooms list)? I can invite new team members, but I just want to chat directly with one person already using the app.

When you start a private chat with a member, it will automatically add them on the left hand side(under the
People Group) which is located underneath the ROOMS you are a member of already.
Optionally you can hover over an existing member and click the "x' to remove them.
That list of people, on the left hand side, from what i gather is recently contacted users.
hope that helps

how to find who created an appointment in a shared outlook calendar?

We are using a shared outlook calendar to which many people can add appointments. I am trying to figure out who added an appointment programmatically. This information will show up at the right-bottom corner of the appointment information window if I double-click the item, suppose it has not been changed by someone else. So it should be stored somewhere.
However, I cannot find it in the AppointmentItem object. The Organizer seems what I want, but on the late version of outlook, it always stores the name of the shared account, rather the name of the person who created the item.
Any suggestion is welcome.
The OutlookSpy gave me the hint for the following solution:
AppointmentItem.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x4038001F")
The input to GetProperty method is so-called MAPITags. The meaning of above tag is PR_CreatorSimpleDispName_W

Cannot See Navigation Pane in Dynamics 365

Core need:
Using an on-premise installation of Dynamics 365, I want to use a form to create a new Person and associate that Person with the each Book they have read. This is a N:N relationship
Yak shaving:
I have created the relevant entities and the N:N relationship but could not figure out how to link them. I watched this YouTube video.
This makes it appear that all I need to do is add the relationship to the navigation page in the form editor and it will appear on the form for users. However, the navigation pane is only visible in the form editor and not when trying to use the form.
I cannot find anything on the web that appears to address this issue so I think I've got something seriously backwards. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
That video is for 2011 - Older version.
In recent CRM, once you open the record form - on top navigation, you will see small down arrow (caret) icon. Click that to see Associated records navigation.

App Not available in some countries

I just released one app yesterday. It's showing up in my country.
But I found out that it's not showing in some countries. How I can check that it's available in all the countries or not. What I need to do if I want to make int available in all the countries >
Depends on your app, maybe this helps. Otherwiese, have you read the localiaztion guidlines (like it is suggested by google to do so before releasing an app)? As far as I remember you are asked in the developer console in which country you want to rlease you app, but maybe this was only for payed apps.
Maybe this question is related to this one: This item isn't available in your country
quoting durbnpoisn answer:
Check your listing in the Developer control panel.
There is a listing for where the app is available (Pricing &
Distribution section - Manage Countries). The checkbox for whatever
country needs to be checked on. Otherwise, it's locked out.
For convenience, there is a box at the top that says "SELECT ALL
COUNTRIES".
For what it's worth, if the country in question is not on the list,
there is nothing you can do about that. There are a number of rules
and regulations about where Google Play can distribute stuff. You have
no control over that.

Prevent "direct access" to menu items but keep them accessible when embedded in articles

I've been building a Joomla website for a couple of weeks now and having started with virtually zero Joomla and PHP knowledge I have to say I've been kind of fumbling my way through all of this. Anyway, I'm having a small "problem" and hope you guys can help me sort it out:
I'm using Plugin Include Component to embed content inside articles. Naturally, this content is associated with menu items. The thing is, I want these menu items to be accessible only through the articles in which they are embedded. This means that I want to somehow restrict direct access to the menu items, but still allowing users to see their content inside the articles.
For the sake of comprehension I'll try to be more graphic:
I have a Category Blog associated with menu item A.
By means of the plugin I mentioned above, I have A embedded inside article B. So far so good! When B is displayed, the category blog in A is also shown as a part of it. But I don't want users to be able to type B's url into the browser and access it directly, because it's detrimental to my site's structure and navigation. Obviously, unpublishing the menu item wouldn't help at all because it would cease to be visible inside the article.
My apologies if I didn't make myself clear. Any hints or tips?
Ok, as far as not being able to directly access the menu items for item A, just publish the menu item in a new menu that is not added to any module position. This way there are no direct links that the user can access through the front end.
As far as a user TYPING in the url for item A, you are out of luck. There is no way to prevent that. Once you have created the menu item, there is a URL which necessarily must be accessible. Using the hidden menu trick, the user would have to know that the URL exists to be able to get there, but it will be there if they know it. The way you are putting the site together the user shouldn't be to see the url so they will likely never type it in, but it would be possible.

Collaborative Choose-Your-Own-Adventure system... how do i build it?

I've had this idea bouncing around in my head, and I decided I'm going to do it and learn a little in the process.
Okay, if you don't mind, I'm going to pitch my website project to you.
It is based on collaboration, so I thought MediaWiki would be the best place to start, but I don't know where to go from here. I also checked out SemanticMediaWiki and SemanticForms, but it doesn't seem to do what I want.
My project is a site revolving around Multiple Choice Adventures. There are already sites that do this, like http://editthis.info/choose_your_own_adventure/Main_Page but I aim to have it entirely user friendly.
On that site, users must employ wiki markup effectively and set up the links manually. That's functional and effective, but I want it to be totally user friendly.
I want the links and content submission to be a fluid process with no worrying about wiki markup.
Here's what I want:
A user creates a top level page. A new story. (Possibly a category?) He titles it "Knights and Princesses".
He is asked to fill in the story text. He writes, "You are a handsome knight with a brand new sword. A dragon is swooping towards you."
He saves the page.
The page now contains the title, the story text, and a link/button saying "Add a new story branch".
A second user comes along. He reads this page, and clicks "Add a new story branch".
He is prompted to fill in a form. Absolutely no technical markup or manual editing.
He fills in his chosen title "Run Away".
He fills in his story text "The dragon chases you as you flee, but you concentrate on running as fast as you can. You notice a rabbit hopping along side you."
He saves the page.
Two things happen.
1: The previous page is automatically updated. Above the link "Add a new story branch" a new link appears, titled "Run Away". This new button links to the new page.
2: The new page is published with the title, the story text, and also a link/button saying "Add a new story branch".
Anyone can come along, click that button, write a new page, and the links will be added seamlessly. No need for messing with editing the page and adding wiki markup or URLs.
In addition, I hope to have the ability to categorize stories by adult content,and have a method to police and filter that.
I hope to have the ability for the original authors of a new story to define what the permissions will be, i.e. "Authorized users only", "anyone can edit", "only registered users".
I hope to have the ability for only original authors to lock certain pages from being edited.
I hope to have the ability for authors to make stories private for a select group of users.
I hope to enable users to edit story text without seeing nasty code and markup.
Am I dreaming here, or is this possible with MediaWiki? I am only experienced in Joomla and MediaWiki.
Do I need to learn a web framework? (Rails, Django, Pylons, etc) Where do I start? Are there solutions that are already geared toward my project?
Thanks for the advice!
This definitely sounds doable. Did you know that one of the original iterations of Mahalo.com was built on mediawiki? Mediawiki is very flexible software, and with a little bit of technical know-how and time you will have no problem accomplishing this.
In fact, I bet if you made it an open source project others would help you.
If you want heavy access control (access control lists, extra privileges for the creator of the pages etc.) then MediaWiki is not a good match.
If you want easy-to-use WYSIWYG editing which does not hinder collaboration, then it is again not a good match (though it is coming along, and I am not sure there is a good match currently).
For the automatic creation of links, I think Semantic MediaWiki is the right tool. You need to define a precedes-follows relationship, use semantic forms or something similar to create new pages which reference the current page as predecessor, and list the names of following pages on the bottom of each page.
