TV Schedule or Channel Guide Extension for Joomla? - joomla

Has anyone seen a TV schedule or channel guide extension for Joomla?

Couldn't this be done with an events management component, such as Jevents?

I investigated all of the event management and calendar extensions. Nothing comes out of the box with a an hourly layout for a week. I may have to alter Jevents, Jcal or create one from scratch.
Gcalendar uses Google Calendar and looks promising, but I need to test it fully to make sure I have full control over the look and feel of the layout.

Using CompositionTarget.SurfaceContentsLost Event in UWP for managing RenderTargetBitmap?

I was reading up on RenderTargetBitmap for a bug in one of my UWPs where a captured image wasn't displaying correctly. Came across a remark from Microsoft stating RenderTargetBitmap can lose data for some reason or another and that we should be attempting to render the bitmap a second time using CompositionTarget.SurfaceContentsLost event. But I haven't been able to find an example of this event online. And I can't seem to request feedback from Microsoft at this time on their Knowledge base site. Does anyone have some sample code they would be willing to share?
Thank you.
But I haven't been able to find an example of this event online.
There's a ImageSourceUpdateRegion sample in Win2D-UWP-Samples. It registers the CompositionTarget.SurfaceContentsLost event in UserControl_Loaded. You could check this sample to learn how to use this event for your UWP app.

Programmatically create tabs in MSTeams

I am trying to discover if it is possible using Powershell, Graph API or similar to create a Microsoft Teams tab (say with Pllanner or OneNote app associated with it) for every channel in a Team without needing to manually create it for every channel in a Team ?
Not yet. It's definitely on the roadmap, but we don't have a date to share publicly.
Looks like there is a beta API endpoint to add a tab to channel but it is not yet documented.
Configure the built in tab types
This is the way to do it and it is GA and not a beta endpoint anymore . Also use Graph explorer to try and test things out. Enjoy!

How to best author a Apple Helpbook for a macOS app?

macOS apps, e.g. Photos.app, provide a help panel to the user
Is there a way to author such a Help Book in your own macOS app?
Is there a way to at least provide a toolbar to be used for a table of contents?
I am asking specifically about the UI and all the user interactions. Not how to generally create and register a helpbook.
Update
Here is what I’ve been able to find/gather/learn from others. A Help Book appears to run on a separate app/process called “HelpViewer”. Any Apple macOS app displaying a help makes use of a DDMViewerController that isn’t public.
There is an “app.css” and an “app.js” being used by the Apple macOS app “index.html” of the Apple Help Book. The Javascript one manipulates the DOM to create the “show-hide” link that toggles the Sidebar. Haven’t been able to find how to instruct HelpViewer to use a sidebar.
There is a WWDC talk from back in 2014, “Introducing the Modern WebKit API” that talks about “User Scripts” and “Script Messages” which allow communication between a Webview and Cocoa. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2014/206/
AFAICS, there is no way to have HelpViewer display a custom view or have a sidebar. My guess is that you would have to implement everything yourself. That is an NSSplitViewController, NSToolbar, NSOutlineView, any Javascript alongside the “app.css” to get the look and feel.
Currently it's not possible to implement the sidebar as shown in the Maps and other built-in macOS applications from 10.13 onward.
Versions of macOS from 10.10 (built-in applications) implement sidebar navigation with HTML and JavaScript, and Apple Help Viewer itself offers a window.HelpViewer object with some hooks that enable/disable the Help Viewer's table of contents button. Once enabled, it will callback into your own JavaScript where you can show/hide TOC via CSS or JS.
From approximately 10.10, Apple's non-built-in applications have also been using this technique. For example, iTunes and Xcode help both do this.
From 10.13, macOS has a newer version of Help Viewer that provides an actual Cocoa-native table of contents and windows splitter, as well as some new properties on window.HelpViewer; presumably these can be used to enable/disable the Cocoa sidebar and populate the TOC, but these are undocumented and I'm not sure anyone outside of Apple has been able to reverse-engineer this functionality yet.
And in any case, it wouldn't work if you offer Help Books to pre-10.13 users, and the use of undocumented API's restricts applications from the App Store (although, I'm not certain that Apple scans Help Book JavaScripts for API usage as part of their review).
(There are also a lot of other changes to how Apple's built-in application Help works now, too, but that's another topic entirely.)
Thus the answer for now is we can't, or shouldn't, or just don't know how. Alternatives include using something like using jekyll-apple-help (no affiliation) or Middlemac 3 (my project), or just rolling your own.
For those interested in knowing how Apple does it, I've documented a lot of it here (disclosure: link to my own website).
I'm not sure whether Apple's current applications still use it, but there is a very old API on macOS for Help Books. Apple has documentation on how to create them and some introduction. In short: Help books are standard HTML files with additional proprietary anchors. Those anchors are accessible via the class NSHelpManager, e.g. to open the help book at a specific page.

How to track events in extension?

Most iOS analytics tools (flurry, new relics) use the standard uiapplication delegate methods to upload events in batch, every minute or when the application terminate. I haven't seen any dedicated solution for extension (today, photo...) from these guys. What do you do for analytics in extension in ios8?
For now, I used two work arounds
1 - I used app group shared data https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/ExtensionScenarios.html and I log the event when the user open the containing app
2 - My today extension allow user to openURL to open the containing app, I pass data in the params of the url.
In my WatchKit app, I use openParentApplication:reply: to pass a request to the host app and log my analytics from there.
Flurry has announced support for Apple Watch extensions. You can find out more in the developer documentation here:
https://developer.yahoo.com/flurry/docs/analytics/gettingstarted/technicalquickstart/applewatch/
It's possible that this will open the door for tracking activity within other extensions, but I haven't seen anything about it yet.
