I was using UserVoice and noted that flash messages are like StackOverflow. Is there any common library to build something like this? <div class="uservoice-component"> <div id="flashes" class="has-layout"> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ setTimeout("$$('.message').each(function(element){ new Effect.Appear(elemen...
I'm writing a piece of software over on github. It's basically a tray icon with some extra features. I want to provide a working piece of code without actually having to make the user install what are essentially dependencies for optional features and I don't actually want to import things I'm not going to use so I thought code like this...
Anyone have any ideas on how to test for something specific for IE6 (and not IE7) using jquery.support? My problem is that IE6 supports :hover psuedo-class only for anchor elements and IE7 does support it for all elements (as FF, Chrome, etc). So I want to do something special in case the browser does not support :hover for all elements...
In my day to day activities I often find myself wishing I could go into the source code of something and change it so that it was more intuitive or to add a feature which would be easy to implement, but for some reason was never added. What are some projects you wish you could contribute to but haven't or can't? Highest on my list is m...
I've developed a custom web part. I would like to create a feature that when activated via STSADM adds the web part to the default page of a WSS Site. Hopefully this can be done without writing code. This webpart is meant to de deployed to the web application's bin directory and featurereceiver must be installed to the GAC. The AllU...
I want to select features based on certain properties' values. Similar to this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/246329/wix-how-to-select-features-from-command-line It seems that setting the ADDLOCAL property value is one way to do it, but is this the right way? Microsoft seems to warn against doing it in this article: htt...
I have some really good ideas for this project but I'm not working on it personally. I don't have much pull in this company, so how do I get my features (good ideas) implemented in this project? Please help re-tag this. ...
How do you determine what features are enough for launching? Should we launch with the "bare functionality" without goodies? Or should we add "bells and whistles"? How do you decide? Is it true we can "get burnt" of suddden exposure, or is sudden exposure rather a myth, and exposure is slow and gradual. Your suggestions are welcome. ...
I seem to see a number of people who seem to overcomplicate things both on here and even when I'm coding. I'm wondering if people have a facination with the latest features and attempt to incorporate these into their coding to help them learn more or use the 'funky' latest features at the expense of performance or complexity. I think a ...
I am not sure how foolish I am being here! I have a solution that packages up some master pages and layouts etc which I can deploy fine and the feature appears in the "Site Collection Features" list fine. However I would like to put a custom icon next to my feature. I would like the icon to be in the solution package and so require the ...
Recently I've been requested to add on something for the administrator of a site where he can 'feature' something. For this discussion let's say it's a 'featured article'. So naturally we already have a database model of 'articles' and it has ~20 columns as it is so I really do not feel like bloating it anymore than it already is. My ...

What are the "latest" news about the next big release of the Eclipse IDE? (3.5 Galileo could also be of interest) ...
I know that the default answer is "it depends", but I want to know the feature list you are working from in developing a good application. I'm particularly interested in features that need to be cared about at design time because adding them late will cost us a lot. Please list one feature per answer so we can vote for the most importa...

I have a custom SharePoint solution which requires several list instances on a particular site (SPWeb). Now some of these lists are generic, for example a 'Pages' document library, wheras others are highly specific custom lists. My question is which (if any) apsects of customisations should be cleaned up on feature deactivation. My in...
Does anyone have a tutorial for building a custom Eclipse IDE with only a select set of plugins? I am assuming I would need: eclipse.exe some plugins from the plugins directory, some folders from the features directory. My goal is to only include the basic text editor and maybe a couple of other utilities. (Yes, I could just use notep...
I'm a computer science student designing a project and I've started wondering what are good examples or software, or even hardware that are toeing the line between being feature rich with good usable features for regular users and being too intimidating for new users. Also could anyone recommend any good tips/books for designing good qua...
Here's my situation: I'm working in SharePoint 2007 Enterprise, I have a feature that creates a list for me when I deploy and activate it. My usual workflow thus far has been to deploy the solution, activate it, then open up SharePoint Designer to customize the list. My customizations are typically pretty complex, but I'll keep things ...
