Navigate to custompage with Freshmvvm - xamarin.forms

Im implementing Facebook login in an app, where I'm using FreshMvvm. The login is implemented using a PageRenderer in each platform combined with Xamarin.Auth component. The issue is how I shold navigate to to this new page. Previously using MvvmHelpers, I did a PushAsync. Doing the same with FreshMvvm where I also made an empty PageModel, I get a LoginPagePage as the result, which was not what it should be. So my question is, how should I navigate to my CustomPage? Can it be done with CoreMethods.xxxx?
Best regards

Solved by encapsulating the page inside its own navigationservice and replacing it when needed.

Single-Page Website with Ajax NAvigation

I am planing a simple website layout: Header with navigation, sidebar and a content block.
The whole site should be a single-page application because I am using a Cesium Visualization and a page reload would delete the current JS objects that are displayed in the Viewer.
Therefore I would like to reload the content container using AJAX to display my different "pages" and therefore keep all the JS Objects in the browser.
My question is:
Do you know a way to add a url-based navigation to this architecture?
For example: I am on the index page /index/ and enter the new url /content1/. The new url reloads the content container using AJAX and keeps the rest as it is. Therefore I would also be able to use the forward and backwards buttons of the browser.
May this be possible with ASP.net MVC routing?
I am pretty new to this so I hope I discribed my problem well enough.
Thanks a lot!
Try Pjax which uses ajax to load content dynamically via ajax
and pushState to maintain url history i.e is a HTML5 api. You shall find more details in the link below
https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax
If you are familiar with angularjs then using ngRoute is a better alternative to Pjax as it has an effective url management through the routing service, please check the below link for more details on ngRoute

Options for creating custom dialogs in Sitecore

I need to implement some pop-up dialogs in sitecore. The popups are used in an existing angular site and I would like to reuse as much as possible.
Use case: From a sitecore form activate the dialog, init the dialog with data from the sitecore field. If the user presses OK, then write back the new value to the site core field.
I know that sitecore has an IFrame type but I know that the browser will not allow me to write back to the parent window from a site in another domain.
So what options do I have?
It is possible to communicate cross iframes and cross domains by posting it between, see example here

Custom Google Form? Example of Google Form API?

I'm trying to make a google form look like my own site. I found examples of how to do this on How to style Google Forms and google-custom-form (GitHub project), but I tried both of the examples they give and they seem to fail now.
I had a look at Class Form - Google Apps Script which seems to be like an API, but I can't get my head around the documentation. Does anyone have an example of it working. Or has found another way of getting this to work? It would be really handy to do as embedded forms look really out of sync with the rest of the site.
The API you're linking to is an apps script API. This is needed if you want to create dynamic forms (dynamic amount of questions, dynamic answers,...) but not for custom styling. An intro to appscript can be found on this page: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/
You could just create a form manually on https://www.google.com/forms/about/
You can change the styling and colors in the top-right of the page. When you are ready to embed the form on your own page you have to press "SEND", an select the embed icon <> at the top.
I've worked with this a ton, and still have issues with it. Been learning the new api v4 for sheets but still having trouble, it is still in beta too. For now I can recommend this solution though by heaversm on github.
https://github.com/heaversm/google-custom-form
The example fully works as long as you find the entry.xxxxxxx for each field and replace in the appropriate js. To avoid the embed issues, give your form submit on a click function that has the event as the input and then preventDefault on the event like so:
$('#submit-button').on('click', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
// continue code from heaversm
});
Hope this works for you. Cheers

Can I submit a form with google's recaptcha in it from my app?

I'm writing an app which involves letting users to share comments on a website, which has a comment form with Google's reCAPTCHA embeded. I would like to load this page via HTTP and display CAPTCHA within my app, so that user can post comments from my app. Is it easy to implement or should I rather try other solution?
EDIT:
I've red reCAPTCHA developer guide. If I would like to embed captcha inside my form, I'd need to insert div element with a proper class, and make a ajax request in order to render captcha. This call would insert an iframe into a given div. What I need is to know how to access that iframe's content without using AJAX.
Turns out we are not supposed to do that kind of tricks with reCAPTCHA.
There is no support for that in API. It seems that it was part of Google's design to prevent that kind of usage.
The only walkaround I could come up with is to implement a WebView widget with JavaScript support, get website via http, and load it into this webview, centering this view around the form we want to post.
It seems like a lot of work though, thus I'm going to simply skip this, if someone successfuly manages to figure it out I'd appreciate a hint :)

How do I login in with facebook connect in a flex application

I've been checking out facebook connect stuff from the new actionscript 3 library from Adobe. I have been trying to figure out how to use the facebook connect button inside of a flex app.
In an html page you would us the fbml and it would automatically put the facebook connect button on your page and when the user clicks on it it pops up the face div and lets the user login. Well you can't use that in flex. So I could put it on the page containing the swf but, that's why I'm using flex and not html. I've seen it done by the guys at Universal Mind so I know it's possible. I just need a little direction.
I know the function to use in the facebook connect api to cause that login dialog to come up I just can't figure the correct combination.
Chcek out the Create your first Facebook application with Flex tutorial and in particular the section on Add Facebook login.
This should be applicable to Flex. This would be done using the ExternalInterface calls from within Flash.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html
In Adobe facebook-actionscript-api there is a class LoginWindow which you can use.
When you need it this window will open like small flash popup window and it will display facebook login page and enable user to login. All needed events will be raised and you should be connected after that. I didn't tested it but from the code looks like what you need.
this developer created this js/flash bridge you are talking about using the ExternalInterface classes. you can download all source files as well. i found it very useful.
http://www.wellconsidered.be/blog/2009/01/04/facebook-connect-to-actionscript-3/
There is also a very clean and elegant solution/tutorial at:
http://www.stevenvh.be/blog/?p=57
Use this API:
http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/
Look at ConnectDemo.
The sample kind of sucks... it forces you to connect before showing the Flex app.
You need to tweek the example to get it to do what you want.
Also, FB depreciated some of the methods, so you have to look up new methods that aren't depreciated.
I'd love to update the sample, but I don't have the time to dedicated to another project.
