Modify Css of Microsoft Qna Maker - css

So I have QnA maker set up and connected to our Azure (I am totally new to Azure). I need to change the CSS of the Iframe from QNA maker, it is currently blue (as the default). I am following this guide to make it our company's colors:
https://blog.botframework.com/2017/10/11/customize-web-chat-websites/
I need to be able to clone this: https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/tree/master/src (which I already forked) into the current Azure build, which I am ultimately having a problem with.
I am sure I am overlooking something simple in Azure, but I just need to clone the source code to properly add the .css files I need to be able to edit the bot.
Currently, I have tried to grab the Iframe and change the CSS that way, but no dice (of course). All I need to do is change blue, to red, any way to do that will be helpful, whether that is changing the Iframe after it loads or by getting this guide to work for us. Thank you!

Refer to the github readme for more detail: https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat
There are options:
Easiest: In any website, IFRAME the standard Web Chat channel
Easy: In your non-React website, run Web Chat inline
Easyish: In any website, IFRAME your Web Chat instance
Medium: In your React website, incorporate the Web Chat React
component
According to your requirements; running the bot in an iframe with custom style, you should read the Easyish section:
You can isolate your instance of Web Chat by running it inside an
IFRAME. This involves creating two web pages:
Your Web Chat instance, as shown above. (refer to Easy)
The hosting page, adding <iframe src="/path/to/your/webchat/instance" height="height" width="width" />
Based on the Easyish section (step 1), you need to first complete the Easy section. In your existing web app, add a new page with the following code (enable directline on Azure Bot settings):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="https://cdn.botframework.com/botframework-webchat/latest/botchat.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="bot"/>
<script src="https://cdn.botframework.com/botframework-webchat/latest/botchat.js"></script>
<script>
BotChat.App({
directLine: { secret: direct_line_secret },
user: { id: 'userid' },
bot: { id: 'botid' },
resize: 'detect'
}, document.getElementById("bot"));
</script>
</body>
</html>
CUSTOMIZE your chat box style by editing the botchat.css file. You make a copy from https://cdn.botframework.com/botframework-webchat/latest/botchat.css and edit to your liking and put your own customized botchat.css to somewhere in your web app and change the href in the header instead of using the default one.
Finally for Easyish section step 2, you can create an iframe (content is step 1 web chat page) and embed that in your hosting page.

Feather Icons do not appear in Blazor Shared Component

The HTML design that I'm using in my WASM application uses feathericons, I linked the css and the js files in wwwroot/index.html. When I want to use the icons, for example:
<i data-feather="grid"></i>
if I use it inside wwwroot/index.html the icon appears, but if I use it in shared component MainLayout.razor the icon doesn't appear.
How can I solve this?
I have been battling with this myself in my own Blazor app. I suspect that it may be attempting to run the feather.replace() before the page is loaded.
My solution for now has been to add in a timeout as I saw used in another post.
At the end of your body in index.html add:
<script>
setTimeout(function () {
feather.replace();
}, 3000)
</script>
If I have issues with this or something changes as I'm developing my site then I'll update this post with details.

DOXFX using Application Insights end-user user analytics

How can you add Application insights end-user user analytics to DocFx to track the usage of every documentation page?
The Application Insights documentation states you need to insert the JavaScript snippet listed below immediately before the closing tag, but I'm not sure if this is possible in DocFx or the best way to accomplish.
Would you need a postprocessor, or could you use a custom template?
<!--
To collect end-user usage analytics about your application,
insert the following script into each page you want to track.
Place this code immediately before the closing </head> tag,
and before any other scripts. Your first data will appear
automatically in just a few seconds.
-->
<script type="text/javascript">
var appInsights=window.appInsights||function(config){
function i(config){t[config]=function(){var
i=arguments;t.queue.push(function(){t[config].apply(t,i)})}}var t={config:config},u=document,e=window,o="script",s="AuthenticatedUserContext",h="start",c="stop",l="Track",a=l+"Event",v=l+"Page",y=u.createElement(o),r,f;y.src=config.url||"https://az416426.vo.msecnd.net/scripts/a/ai.0.js";u.getElementsByTagName(o)[0].parentNode.appendChild(y);try{t.cookie=u.cookie}catch(p){}for(t.queue=[],t.version="1.0",r=["Event","Exception","Metric","PageView","Trace","Dependency"];r.length;)i("track"+r.pop());return i("set"+s),i("clear"+s),i(h+a),i(c+a),i(h+v),i(c+v),i("flush"),config.disableExceptionTracking||(r="onerror",i("_"+r),f=e[r],e[r]=function(config,i,u,e,o){var s=f&&f(config,i,u,e,o);return s!==!0&&t["_"+r](config,i,u,e,o),s}),t
}({
instrumentationKey:"###-###-###-##"
});
window.appInsights=appInsights;
appInsights.trackPageView();
</script>
No PostProcessor is needed. You can achieve this by customizing the template. More information can be found in official tutorial or this question. You can add your code in partials/head.tmpl.partial. It will affect all the generated page.

Meteor: localhost:3000/?_escaped_fragment_= is blank

I'm trying to make my meteor app visible to crawlers.
I've added the Spiderable package and installed Phantom.js.
When I to go localhost:3000/?_escaped_fragment_=, it's blank.
When I view the source, it's almost empty, and it ends right before the <script> tag that loads the Google Maps API:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/eecc60f7c55db2915697d4beb05274f355ad19e4.css">
<title></title>
<!-- Google Maps -->
</head></html>
I haven't encountered any issues with this before, but it got me thinking that maybe I shouldn't be including custom <scrpit> (or <link>) tags in the app's <head>. If this is true - what is the correct way to load external assets? If it's not related to the issue, I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
In relation to your first question, I am not 100% sure about this being the cause of your problem, but to answer the second, you shouldn't be including scripts/stylesheets in the head of your Meteor application.
Meteor combines all of the client-side js, css, and html for your app, and sends it all together to the client. This means you can just include your stylesheet and scripts in your app's client folder. I would try putting your stylesheets/scripts in the correct place and removing the links in your head and see if that solves your issue.
You can find more detailed descriptions of meteor here.

How to include HTML contents from another site? I have access to both sites

I have a site which is using DNN (DotNetNuke) as a content management system. I am using another site for my event registrations. I have sent them my template; which displays the basics including a hover menu with many different items in it.
Issue is - as I update the menu on my site using DNN, I need it to be reflected on the site using my template - without me having to send them a new file. Anyone have suggetsions on how to approach this?
I don't want to send the events provider all of the DNN DLLs as well as my database login information in order to render the menu.
I created a page on my site that is something like 'menu.aspx' - this produces the menu in HTML format, however it has tags like in it that I'd like to remove before serving it to them.
What is the best approach for this? Do I need to write a custom server control using XMLHttp? Can I accomplish this in Javascript?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thank you!
If both sites are hosted on the same domain (eg site1.domain.com and site2.domain.com) you can use JavaScript and XmlHttpRequest to insert code from one site to another. Otherwise, the Same Origin Policy prevents you from using AJAX.
If they're not on the same domain but you have access to the page on their website, you can simply include there a JS script from your site :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yoursite.com/code.js"></script>
In the JS, simply document.write() what you want on the page. This way, you can easily change the content of the page on their site without having to send them a new file.
Finally, you can also use an iframe on their site, pointing to a page on yours.
EDIT: As Vincent E. pointed out, this will only work if they're on the same domain - my bad.
If you are unwilling or unable to use frames, then I would set up an ashx on your DNN server which renders the menu (if you've got it in a user control all the better, as you can just instatiate it and Render it directly to the output stream) and then just make an Ajax call to that from your events page and insert it directly into the DOM.
Here's a quick and hacky jquery-based example of the events page end of things:
<script type="text/javascript">
function RenderMenu(data)
{
$('#Menu').html(data);
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type : 'GET',
url : 'http://localhost/AjaxHandlers/Menu.ashx',
data : '',
success : RenderMenu,
});
});
</script>
You'll want an empty div with the ID 'Menu' on the page where you want your menu to sit, but apart from that you're good to go.
If for whatever reason you can't get the menu HTML in an isolated way, then you'll need to do some text processing in RenderMenu, but it's still do-able.
I am not a web expert, so don't shoot me.
Can't you just put their registration form into an iFrame in DNN ?

How to acquire request parameter from url from Oracle Porta HTML Page Skin?

I hope any of Oracle Portal experts here could help me out regarding this question.
I have a portal template/page that is using a HTML Page Skin. The skin may looks like:
<html>
<head>
<title>#TITLE#</title>
</head>
<body>
#BODY#
</body>
</html>
By using Oracle Portal, I could add portlets (PL/SQL and Java portlet) to the body section, in its respective template/page. However there is no way that I am aware of that could enable me to add portlets to other section in the HTML Skin, eg in section.
I need to dynamically change the title with some value that I get from the page URL and query string.
eg. if the page's url is http://www.example.com/portal/page/portal/examplepagegroup/page1?param1=paramvalue
so that the title will be 'param1', and it should be done without javascript technique.
How could I get the request parameter param1 from the URL so that it will be available to the head section? I am thinking of PL/SQL code to be used here, but, I do not how to access query string of current page.
Please comment here if clarification to the question is needed. Thanks.
The page title is a static attribute of the Portal page. There is no supported way for a portlet to change the page title dynamically at runtime. The rendering engine combines the HTML from each portlet with some HTML it builds itself, and the title is part of what the renderer builds.
What is possible is to dynamically build pages with specific names by calling WWSBR_API.ADD_FOLDER (a folder is the same as a page). See So your portlet could build a page and then redirect to it.
You find the Portal 10.1.4 API at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1014/index.html
