Configure Pagelets/PivotGrids in a WorkCenter Dashboard - peoplesoft

I am new to developing Work Center Dashboards in PeopleSoft so I have experimented with my own sandbox to learn more. One thing I have not figured out is how / where to configure the pagelet/pivot grids that I added from the "Manage WorkCenter Dashboards" page. I've added the PeopleSoft delivered pagelet for "PO Spend Analysis As Of" and "Dispatched Purchase Orders" however when I actually view the work center I get no data returned, and I do not see an option for adding/changing filters for them (even though there is a filters panel).

What People tools and patch version you are on? There is an issue with 8.55.11 and below
You have to be in PT8.55.12 and above.

When I use preview mode in google tag manger it opens a new tab for a beta version of tag assistant, how do I get rid of that?

Tag manager is acting weird whenever I use preview mode.
It opens up a new tab called tag assistant and then it asks me for the link.
Before it would appear below in the site, but now it covers the entire page and it opens a new page. How do I get back to the old loved version when the debugger showed below?
You don't, apparently (get the old one back, I mean). This is the new debug/preview mode that seems to be here to stay. To be fair, it comes with a number of new features (no longer dependent on third party cookies, follows interactions across pages etc).
These seemed to be geared towards developer types rather than casual users, so the new features might not make up for the changed user experience (for starters, you need a multiple monitor arrangement for this to make sense), but as far as I can tell this is just something you have to live with.

WP Full Calendar not displaying Modern Tribe Events

Quite new and a beginner with most of this but I can usually problem solve and follow along well enough to fix most minor errors although I'm having some trouble with this one. I'm building a WordPress site and using The Events Manager by Modern Tribe for a calendar because it has most of the functions I need. However, without paying for an upgrade there's no way to sort by category or display on another page other than the default hat it puts it on. I was hoping to use WP Full Calendar to do both of these since it seems simple and really I just want the prior for fetching/creating the events not the calendar. Problem is WP Full Calendar isn't displaying any of the events although it is able to fetch the categories for them for use in sorting in the settings and seems to function properly aside form no events actually appear.
Wondering if anyone else has tried this and had similar hangups and it's something inherently about those two plugins that don't agree or if it's just me.
I've been doing this very thing and the only option I found was to actually modify the plugin itself. By default, fullcalendar expects dates from ACF or integration with Events Manager. The fundamental problem is that Modern Tribe Events has it's own API for getting date information (like tribe_get_start_date() for the start date) and fullcalendar does not support it out of the box.

Event Listing Wordpress Plugin

I'm seeking a very specific event plugin for wordpress (if it exists), if you can suggest one please let me know! Or if there's another easy workaround, I'd appreciate it!
Basically I want to list my events as 4 column square images at the top of a page under the UPCOMING EVENTS section - just like this screenshot:
Screenshot 1 - Upcoming Events
But after the event passes I'd like it to drop down to the PAST EVENTS section (automatically if possible) - if manually, I'd like the images to stack so if there's an odd number of past events the most recent would be at the top and the single event would be at the bottom. The only workaround I've found is for the single event to be at the top and I keep adding rows to the top of the PAST EVENTS section. See the next screenshot for clarification. Thanks so much for taking a look!
Screenshot 2- Past Events
Events Manger does this, you would obviously have to use styling in order to make it appear across the top but their easy widget implementation allows you to select how many events display. You then just need to style the widget.
You can also then enable in the settings archive events, once enabled you will be able to display past events.
If you purchase the pro version you can also take payment for tickets online if you so wish.

This website isn't mean't to be used for looking for recommendations due to certain reasons of favouritism and much more. However, I did need a similar plugin to what you require and this was the one I used. It should fit your needs.

trouble with creating a breadcrumb in asp classic

I need advice on how to do breadcrumbs in asp classic
I have a company detail page - the thing is it could have been gotten to by a number of ways - through a area or through a list of categories and then companies
I want to show the breadcrumb that this user came to it
(and the same page can be gotten to in many ways)
I tried to build a session variable but if a user clicks the back key then it messed it up
any ideas?
When you design your site you need to work out, in your own mind (best to use a pencil and paper), just how the site links together and which pages can be considered to be related. I know this sounds pretty grey, but this is more a design principal than set in stone.
Word is a good tool to work this out. Flick into Outline View and use this to build up the structure. The arrows on the ribbon at the top left allow you to indent and outdent your structure, and the markers at the beginning of the line allow you to drag and drop sections from one place to another.
Once you're happy about the structure you can update your pages to contain the stepped breadcrumb. Unless you have heavily automated pages that change their structure vastly, or a site that is very fluid (changing it's structure frequently), I would simply hard code the breadcrumb in using an unordered list (<ul>).
It gets more complicated for Classic ASP if you want to be able to automate the breadcrumb. Firstly you'd need to decide what type of automation you want to use; for instance XML, like the .NET version, or a global.asa string/array version, or something that's read from your database... The list goes on.
If you still find it difficult to get around the user's landing page train of thought, try using the search page on a site like the NHS Data Dictionary, or even try navigating using the links on the left. The breadcrumb for this site is in the top banner - watch what happens when you switch between different links.
Hope this helps, but remember there's no right or wrong way to code up your links, it simply depends on the application or site you're creating.

WordPress pluggin not working with multiple instances of shortcode on the page (Social Discount Press)

The problem can be seen this page: http://ignitingthesixthsense.com/pre-launch-1
The issue is with the pluggin called Social Discount Press. The purpose of this pluggin is that it prompts the user to share your webpage via social media, and if they do so a link will then appear giving them access to restricted content.
There are actually 2 problems, but I am not sure if they stem from the same issue or not.
1) The first issue is that I have placed the social share buttons on the page twice using this shortcode:
[social_sharing_discount index="2"]
And the second instance of the share buttons (towards the bottom of the page) do not work properly. The Facebook and Twitter button activate the share box when clicked, but after sharing, the "instant access" button does not appear beneath the share button as it should. And the Google button does nothing at all when clicked. I have found that if I remove the 1st instance of the share buttons (at the top of the page), then the second instance of them starts working, so in other words it only seems to work properly if there is one instance on the page at a time.
2) The second and much much smaller issue, is that when the Google share button is clicked, the access button appears before the person actually shares.
And assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
I have found that the main cause of the issue was due to the pluggin being built mainly on ID's which need to be unique across the page. And having multiple instances of the same ID was causing many errors.
The solution was to rewrite some of the php and js to use Classes instead of ID's. This allowed for two instances of the pluggin to work on the same page, thus solving problem number one.
The reason why the google one is so inaccurate is because the author simply opens up a popup to the google share page in a popup, this doesn't allow us to see the JS events such as when we share.
On the other hand because the twitter and facebook jssdk are loaded into the page, we know the exact moment when there has been either of those have been shared and thus accurately display the instant access button.
Due to this the author of the pluggin is just doing a best guess as to when the user is likely to have shared. It this case the author is guessing that when the javascript onunload event fires, that logically the user has shared on google. Now the onunload event can be fired in multiple ways, one is when the user closes the popup, i.e the best guess scenario as to if the user has shared. However the onunload event also fires when the form loses focus, a user naviagtes a way or a link is clicked.
Furthermore the onunload event is only properly supported in IE, FF and Safari, not Chrome and Opera. Which in the end gives it differeing behaviour in different browsers.
All of this can lead to unpredicatable behaviour, such as what you are noticing.
A better solution would be for google to have a jssdk for the the google plus share that let's us create a share box on the fly, however it's lacking that functionality as of now.
