I have a website that shows all the posts from Yammer regarding a particular topic in the Yammer Embedded Feed. However, the feed does not show the profile picture of the User who has posted in that topic.
Is there any way I can achieve this feature? Thanks in advance.
Make sure your container is at least 400 pixels wide. Otherwise, I believe it uses a "skinny" version of the display which does not include the profile photos. See this page for more info: https://developer.yammer.com/docs/feed-events (paragraph Skinny mode).

See the one that comes back from
https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/id=1337:(id,name,logo-url)
it's quite small! https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/p/6/005/056/054/057ffb7.png
Would be great if could get a larger version
(note, the apigee console here may be helpful)
The information you're looking for is in the member profile field documentation on LinkedIn's developer website: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/fields/basic-profile
picture-urls::(original)
A URL to the member's original unformatted profile picture. This
image is usually larger than the picture-url value above.
I am currently working on a site where the client would like to have a blog where in list view their is a custom sized image and then the image changes size on the detail page. I decided it was best to use a web app for this feature as the blog section of business catalyst doesn't have an image field I can pull from however, the customer also wants comments is there a way to have comments with web apps without it being overly hard for the client to handle.
Or is there a way to use the blog feature in bc and have the image resize to a larger size on the detail page?
Your help is greatly Appreciated
Thank you.
I would recommend the following;
As previously stated above you can use the Disqus comment module to
manage the comments. Here is a great video from Dave Haggblad doing a BC Sandpile that
will show you how to integrate this.

If you create the blog as a WebApp you can get BC to dynamically resize your images to achieve the smaller thumbnail on the listview and larger image on the details page by adding some simple code. Follow the link to the BC documentation below to see it in action. https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2145
Hope this helped.

I have designed a small (403 pixels wide) informational dashboard (jQuery, HTML) and subscription app. I wish to be able for the user to install the app and place it onto their TimeLine, however I am clueless as to how to do that.
Can someone explain to me how that is achieved? I see how users can put fluffy stuff on the TimeLine (pics, links, etc.) but how to you get an actual app in there?
My app is no wider than the pics that my (potential) customers display on their Timeline.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm afraid that your approach is wrong and you can't display an application on Facebook's Timeline per se.
Your App can post content (text, images, etc) to a user's timeline and it can also have a dedicated section (collection) on Timeline (you need to explicitly ask the user to add it after they activate your application, it's not automatic).
A prerequisite to having sections is that your App has custom actions and a custom collection (see detailed description in the later link), which can be displayed in one of the three custom collection types supported by Facebook - List, Gallery or Map.
Note that your custom collection will require a review.
Unfortunately it seems you will have to rework your application to fit the Facebook framework.
I'm currently designing a website for a client and the client is requesting to display the author picture and name on every article. I searched but, can't find an option to do that.
Is there a way to display the author picture on each article?
There are a number of extensions that will let you integrate with Gravatar and other services.
In terms of the Joomla core, you can already link an author to a contact page with an image (when the author is the linked user) and you could write a plugin to pull the image from the contact record since you already have the record id. You could also store the image location as part of the user profile and write a plugin for that.
It's been few days I'm looking for a solution and I can't figure out why it's still not working.
Here is my goal:
I have a website with a sideshow. The images are dynamically changed (with previous and next buttons). I just want to share an image on social networks (facebook, google+ and twitter) and actually see the image in my wall with a little description and the link to a page.
Precision:
The image is a thumbnail (so, not the same url) of the main image and the link I want to publish is neither the page I'm on (which is static due to Ajax) nor the image one.
My tries:
I have almost got it on facebook but the image loading failed and it was with a share button (which seems to be deprecated in favor of like) and for google+, the +1 button become red after I click it... I tried XFBML and OpenGraph, but the problem is with Ajax (url is the one of the page or is not changed even with createElement("
Questions:
1. Is there any packaged solution (like addthis, but working the way I want)?
2. Or do you have one (or a clue) for me please?
3. Am I the only one to think that offical facebook and google+ ajax documentation are lame?
Thanks a lot.

PS: if I could have a fly-out to edit a comment with the content I'm about to share, it would be fantastic!
One way to accomplish this is with cloaking.
Setup a page which provides the image, title, and description to the social application (aka. facebook, google+). You can then use Javascript to redirect the user to the page you actually want the user to see. For users without Javascript the page should display a link to the target page with a "Click here if you are not automatically redirected". The image should exist on the page but you can place it in a div with style="display: none;" so the user doesn't actually see it.
A more advanced technique would be to use the IP address and browser name (user agent) to determine if the visitor is a user or a social network robot and using a 502 temporary redirect to the page you want the user to see if the visitor is not a social robot. The social robots would be shown a page which has the image, title and description.
The social sharing buttons that you're using all have one thing in common: they all work best when there's a URL representation for the object that you're sharing. Some of them, namely Facebook's like button and Google's +1 button, use the contents of that page to create the snippet that's shared.
This isn't a new problem, though. This is the same problem faced with search indexing of AJAX applications. Sadly there's no easy solution. Here are a couple of challenging ones:
Programmatic Solution
You can improve your back end so that it's capable of rendering pages for each shareable step in the state of your slide show: one page per image. As you step through the slide show you can destroy and re-create the social sharing plugins each time targeting them to this machine accessible version of that image.
Snapshot Solution
You can use a crawler tool that is capable of executing JavaScript to make snapshots of the different states of your application. You can then target the social sharing buttons to the snapshot of the current state.
This might require less back end work but may be challenging to keep up to date.
