Post-email-verification hook - stormpath

In express-stormpath, what's the best way to run some code after a successful email verification?
postRegistrationHandler comes close, but it gets called before email verification.

We don't yet have a hook for this, although we're working on writing a new events system at some point in the future, at which point this will get added =)
If you'd like to get us to add this feature, leave a comment on our Github tracker here: https://github.com/stormpath/express-stormpath/issues (we listen to feedback!)

How to generate log in service now when a browser is closed?

I need to generate logs in service now whenever the browser is closed or the session is expired. I tried using global business rule but couldnt achieve it. It will be greatfull if i can if i get an idea to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
I assume you already know how to generate a log and such in ServiceNow, and the problem you're having, is how to run code when the user closed their browser.
The best solution would probably be to create an onload client script which sets onbeforeunload to a function that triggers a log.
More on that here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowEventHandlers/onbeforeunload
For the second part of your question, user sessions are tracked in a "user sessions" table. If you want to also log when theirs expires, you can do so with a business rule on that table.
You can use
GlideAjax to call from your client script to a server side script include.
Look at GSLog
Try this one
var gl = new GSLog("com.snc.sla.tasksla.log", "TaskSLA");

powershell exchange 2010 grab body of email and set to variable

i am trying to get the body of an email and set it to a variable with powershell by using get-mailbox. the reason im not doing it an easier was is it is blocked on the network to get the body from outlook. im completly lost. ive tried export but thats to pst. ive tried doing a search query with logging but thats a bust also. im pretty lost anything to point me in the direction would be great.
As far as I know, Get-Mailbox won't do that, unfortunately. It'll get you information about the mailbox, but not it's contents. If you want to work w/ the contents of a mailbox, and you can't use Outlook, your best bet is probably the Exchange Web Service (EWS).
There is a way to do this but it really depends on how much you are willing to work to make it possible.
The best way that I could think of is using the EWS API. It's messy and it takes a while to learn so you will probably need to put some time and effort into making the script (unless you can find someone else who has).
Basically I got all of these links by doing a google search for "Powershell EWS API"
Here is another similar question:

Windows store - certification failed because 'didn't seem useful'

I tried publish my app: http://pomidoro.codeplex.com/ on Windows Store and certification failed because:
'Your app doesn't meet requirement 1.1.
Comment from tester: This app didn't appear to provide value or didn't seem useful to the reviewer.'
Is that means that I do not have any chances to publish it anymore?
No, you can make some tweaks and publish again. Here are some thoughts:
It may be an issue of marketing, and modifying the description that you submit with your application will fix the issue. Your description at http://pomidoro.codeplex.com is pretty good, but maybe you could add some data around how it helps you work more efficiently in case the reviewers aren't familiar with Pomodoro. There are tips on writing a good description/app listing here.
Otherwise, you could add some extra features to the app so it's more than just a timer. Can the user record their whole To Do list in the app, and then choose what to focus on during the pomodoro from that? Or, allow them to rank each pomodoro as effective/not effective after the timer goes off and keep historical data so they can see what times of day they are most effective? And so on...
Here is the first post in a blog post series on common certification failures for the Windows Store and how to fix them which might also be useful.
Good luck!

When would I register a crm 2011 online plugin for pre-validation stage?

I understand that a plugin registered for pre-validation executes outside of the database transaction but I'm not sure I can think of a scenario when this would be preferable to pre-operation. Can someone give me an example of where pre-validation registration might be useful?
We have a few plugins registered on the 'PreValidation' event although this is on premise, not online.
I did not write these specific plugins myself but I can describe one and give the justification for using 'PreValidation' rather than 'PreOperation'.
Entity: Account
Event: Delete
Logic: Plugin runs pre validation. Checks that there are no contacts referencing any of the account's addresses. If any are found, stop execution. If not, delete account.
e.g.
Account 'Stackoverflow' has address 'Jeff Attwood's House' and Contact 'glosrob'. 'glosrob' is referencing 'Jeff Attwood's House' through a customisation. If a user selects to delete 'StackOverflow', we should detect 'glosrob' is referencing an address and prevent the delete.
The reasoning behind this was the developer found that at the PreOperation stage, some aspects of the delete had already happened, namely the cascade deletes. The logic of the plugin requires us to check all contacts - by registering at PreOperation, contacts under the account had already been deleted, rendering the check obsolete.
In our previous scenario, when the user selected to delete 'StackOverflow' Account, the Contact 'glosrob' would be deleted before the plugin runs. Therefore when the plugin did run afterwards, it would allow the delete.
As with most things in CRM, it all comes down to requirements and solutions, but I think that gives you an idea of why/when you might use a PreValidation stage. We have a few others with similar reasoning that run on the 'Delete' event.
I know its very old post, came here while digging for an answer for the same question...
Later I found one key point from MSDN on the same topic and i thought it would be helpful If I post the infromation over here for all..
The Prevalidation plugin would happen prior to the security checks. For ex: If an account is "VIP" account and you dont want this account record to be deleted (no matter even he is a super user/admin), then this better can happen in pre validation. Because at that time you are not really bothered about who the user is and what sort of permissions he has (even he may not have any permissions to delete any records in the system), CRM will go and check the database for the user's security roles during the pre operation and that is where the first database hit would happen.. before that it self, we can stop the exucution of the plugin based on our validation rules..
I hope that make sense...
Thank you

TFS 2010 Email Alerts

I found this post, which seems to be an exact duplicate, but I can't figure out how to get the answer to work for me so I'm posting again...
TFS2010: Set up an alert that will email a member in the team when a work item is assigned to them
I want anyone (not everyone) using TFS to receive an email when they are assigned an item or when an item assigned to them changes. So, when the alert happens, the person who is currently assigned the item will receive an email.
I know I can set up this on a per-person basis with Alerts Explorer, but I can't figure out how to do this for everyone at once.
I looked at https://tfsalerts.codeplex.com/, but it looks like it's used to send alerts to groups of people...I only want to send the alert to a single relevant person (the equivalent of #Me). If this tool can do that, I'm not sure how to make it do so.
what you want to do is write a TFS Server Plugin. This plugin will fire whenever a certain event occurs. In your case, you will want to catch the WorkItemChangedEvent. In the notification, you will find old and new values of each field. By checking whether the assigned to field changed, you will know whether the WI has been reassigned.
Once you determined that the WI has been reassigned, you can take the New Value, and go to Active Directory (assuming you're using it), and get the email address. Finally, send a message.
For a code example of writing a robust server plugin (that happens to target the WorkItemChangedEvent, check out this blog post: How to Write a Robust TFS Server Plugin
