I am working on my first Windows 8 Metro app. I have worked a LOT with Silverlight and I am familiar with the Metro concepts. My challenge is, I know I want to create a "Section" page as defined here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh761500.aspx. Or, to put it another way, like the sample "Finance" app where "TODAY", "INDICES", "NEWS", etc. represent sections. But, I can't figure out how a "Section" page is defined in XAML.
I was expecting it to be similar to a tab control where each section is defined as a child of the parent control in the "Items" collection. However, I can't seem to find a solid example. Does anyone know an example they can point me to? Or a walkthrough online?
Thank you!
Try using a frame in your "master" page, and then adding other pages to that frame. A section in this paradigm is just a normal page. Most of the samples here in MSDN uses this type of design, with a master page displaying different sections, based on a selected item in a listview.

I've created an alternative layout for one of my articles which can be applied successfully, but as has been highlighted in various forums: if you view the article using the Single Article menu type the alternative layout doesn't get applied because of an XML override.
I have a Joomla site that is setup for Sales and Support where the article info such as date, hits etc is useful but on the marketing side none of that is needed, hence an alternative layout would work well.
I want to know how to enable my alternative layout using the Single Article menu type - I've already got the layout how I want it (testing it by having it overwrite default.php) but want to set it up as marketing.php instead and only have it applied to what is needed.
You're probably not going to like this answer because you have already written you're alternate view. If you were rewriting it to begin with, why would you not write in a way that the side bar parameters (date, hits, ect) are within a container that is only loaded conditionally. This way you would only have one view to worry about and a lot less headaches.
I’m trying to display the menu title text (example “Home”) in the header area of my Joomla 2.5 website.
Joomla’s default (when activated) is to place it in the Component area.
I’m not sure the best way to accomplish this. By default Joomla wraps the menu title with an H1 tag but doesn’t wrap it with a div and class.
The ways I’ve thought might be best to do this are:
Somehow wrap all menu titles with a div and class so I could reposition them up into the header with css .
Add some php code to my template. Something like:
php
$menuTitle = $this->params->get(‘fieldNameOfMenuTitle’);
php
echo = $menuTitle;
Any ideas, suggestions, or answers would greatly appreciated
Thanks
Never found an exact answer but found a work around.
Used a modified version of the below demo/plug-in to create a custom field (named it: "Title that displays on the Web Page") in the articles menu. By default, the table that is created and displayed in the web page is in the component area and is wrapped in a w/ a class. Repositioned the with CSS up into the header/banner area.

How can i implement a Section View(like in IOS) in Windows8 ListView ?
I want to break down the Listview into different Sections.
Any Directions ?
ListViews have a property called groupDataSource that lets you define how the items are grouped. You might want to look at the Grid App template in Visual Studio, which has data already set up in this way. You can also take a look at this tutorial: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465464.aspx
If you want any more info, you will have to be a bit more specific with your line of questioning.
In my Netflix post on codefoster.com I tried to show grouping in its simplest form. When you have a JS array, you simply make a Binding.List out of it and then you just call createGrouped sending it two lambda functions telling it how to group. Then like #Paul said, you'll get those different sections automatically in your ListView. Hope that helps.
Two years ago I made a website to learn Flash, but these days Flash is loosing it's popularity. (the website never went online, was just for testing) Now I want to try making this test website with Drupal + Ajax...
Take a look at the Flash website
I have a collection of handbags, with different types and sizes. So I use taxonomy for that. (content type: handbag, with taxonomy terms "type" and "size" - small, medium and large)
The visitor should choose a type in the navigation. (Silver Medallion or Silver Jewel) Then he sees a page (made with views) that shows all available sizes. (The type 'Jewel' doesn't have sizes, so this type should show all bags.)
After the visitor clicks a size, he sees all available items of that type and size. With views, this is quite simple... But now I want to do this with Ajax, so the page doesn't have to reload... I also want the path to change, so people can add a page to the favortites.
I found an answer that helped me a bit further, but I have no idea where to put the code...

I think you need to create a custom module to create the view and add the configuration in setting file, then create a js file and add to drupal project.
Take a look at this. It seems to provide what you want: http://drupal.org/project/quicktabs/
I have a basic app I'm creating with a Top Nav button Bar a bottom button Bar and a Viewstack for content in the middle. The catch is the content, and skins are completely dynamic based on XML I'm loading. Therefore I have to create the ViewStack dynamically (because I don't know how many children it could have) and the same goes for the top and bottom Nav button bars. Now, I could handle this very neatly with Flex 3 , however I want to to do this with Flex 4 and would like to take advantage of its new logic and skinning separation architecture. I have seen many tutorials on this as far as components known at compile time but not for custom class creation. Can anyone list some good tutorials? thx - Mike
I could not find any tutorials , so I figured I would create my components dynamically as I would in Flex 3, the only difference would be that if I have a component I need to skin, in my case a button, and I'm creating it dynamically I would use :
btn_nav.setStyle("skinClass",skins.NavMainToggleButtonSkin);
Where the host component is : [HostComponent("spark.components.ToggleButton")]
I also am using custom Spark Viewstack that a developer wrote:
spark Viewstack
Also this article helped me with creating a custom component and connecting wih a skin class and how it relates to the component lifecycle:
