I’m just wondering if anyone knows of any screen sharing packages out there that will integrate into a HTML5 based line of business app. The use case is if a user calls in they can just click share screen with support and the support person in here will be able to see and take hold of their screen.
I know there is a lot of packages out there that do this but they all seem to require some type of plugin to run them.
Any advice is appreciated.

Is there are a way (a library) with which a web page can detect a screen reader being used on it? This can be just for a reporting/analytics purpose.
PS: A Drupal 8 website.
No. It is not possible. Screen readers operate as an application on the computer - this would be similar to trying to find out if someone viewing your website also had their calculator open - it is a privacy restriction. Also many of these users may be using Voiceover or Talkback on their mobile devices and there is no way to detect that either.
Your website should instead strive to follow web standards and work equally for all users.
I'm also curious as to what your specific goal is in detecting this, as screen readers are only one part of the accessibility tools that many people use - and focusing on just the screen reader user will not make your site accessible.
No. You can't. Definitely not.
One thing you can do is detecting if a user uses his mouse. This does not mean that he uses a screenreader or that he doesn't but is quite an indicator (but this should be categorized as "keyboard only users" not "screenreader users"). And that's, in my opinion, a question more interesting than knowing if a user uses a screenreader.
There are a lot of discussions about the wrongdoing of detecting screenreaders :

I have a few problems with understanding of android tv development. First of all when i had launched android tv project and was trying to create custom interface for new activity, unfortunately i couldn't find any xml elements which could help me. From the example i got some ideas that whole interface provided by android SDK collected in many fragments. I just can modify colors, fonts, fonts size, transparency maybe animation and etc. But if i really need to customize structure of controls and WTF i wanna output "Hello World" inside label!!! Is it possible? I read all articles from this link https://developer.android.com/training/tv/index.html but it is still useless for me (maybe I am unique :) ). After this suffering with google guide, i have done a conclusion that the platform so new and there is no way to do some thing except only way that was provided by google. Am i right? If not, what should i do to find successful way?
The fragments provided by Google as part of the "leanback" framework are templates designed to make it easy for content providers to start publishing to Android TV without having to worry about the technical details of building a TV UI. The idea is that a content provider can create a channel just by feeding in their video content. This ease of use comes at a cost, customization is difficult or impossible with these templates.
However there is nothing preventing you from creating your own Activities and Fragments from scratch and implementing a completely custom UI for the TV, it works just like any other Android device. Add "android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" to your manifest and see for yourself.
I will explain exactly what I am trying to do, and maybe someone can tell me a simple way that I can do it.
I want to track the amount of money pledged on a Kickstarter project page. The amount pledged is consistently kept within a certain tag. What are all the ways I can do this programatically?
I am just starting out to learn how to develop on the web, so that should be a good context to allow you to better help me. (I've learned bits and peices of C, Python, VB, JS, HTML/CSS)
Is there a simple hack way to do this with free tools? How would I do it all on my own? Extending this idea further, how would I notify my android device when the amount has surpassed a predefined threshold? Is this the process known as scraping? What tool do I need at my disposal to accomplish this? What language do I need to use? Do I need my own web space?
If I eventually made this concept into an android app, is there a way to only load a small portion of a website (maybe even just enough source to get to the tag I am looking for) so that I can get the data I want on the page but not have to waste a bunch of my smartphone data loading the rest of the stuff that I didn't want?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
I'm not familiar with Kickstarter's API -- do they have one? -- but here is how I'd approach this problem:
You want to "ping" the Kickstarter periodically for information. One way to do it on Android is using BuzzBox SDK
With each execution of the background task:
Load a portion of the Kickstarter page with jQuery into your own HTML document.
Compare it with a threshold and possibly the previous stored value. Should be doable with basic <= unless you want to go anal-retentive with parsing and stuff.
Use notification in Android to notify the user once the amount is updated.
Wrap all this into an app.
I'm currently working on a site which provides information about local hotels and resturents.We have decide to integrate a external system which provide rating and comments.We though Google plus local is a good one to integrate
Ex : https://plus.google.com/112054268577917984776/about?hl=en
The issue was we could not find a widget for WP which provide a UI as the above link.
Appreciate if some one could explain the better approaches to achieve this.
I think you need to check Google Plus Apis section for this as they are still limited (really dont know if any plugin available for this feature or not)
Good link to follow, I think need to create plugin for that on your own or customize somewhat similar to your requirement Places
You can also check their Business Map APIs if its fit in your requirement.
I am building a website both mobile and pc version.But I am in a fix what should be used to do it.I have some question for which I am confused :
1. make a website with separate mobile version and pc version and render page depending on the device users use ?
2. Another is a single version website that would be all device compatible.this can adapt the layout according to the device resolution ?
3. if I do the thing I mentioned at point 1 , Can I built a site with wordpress and mobile version with jquery mobile ?
4. If I use a mobile compatible wordpress template I mentioned in point 2, can I use all other plugin form outside?
Please Help me.Thanks in advance.
So what should I do? building two different version ?? if yes, Can I
use the wordpress for both? do you know any plugin or way to make both
pc and mobile version in wordpress ?
This is what I did to achieve what you are aiming for:
Install WordPress as normal.
Add the Mobile Smart plugin - or possibly mobile smart pro.
Create a theme for regular desktop browsers and activate it in WordPress
Create a completely separate theme for mobile browsers. You may wish to use the sample code supplied with the plugin; I created my own from scratch.
Change the settings of Mobile Smart so that it knows which is your mobile theme
Add content and enjoy!
Please read the documentation with Mobile Smart. It is important to understand what it is doing.
Also, remember that your two themes are completely separate, in completely separate directories, so you can use completely different functions.php, headers, footers, scripts, etc. as necessary.
Quote from https://github.com/ChristianPeters/crispy-mobile that I agree with:
CSS media queries are nice. But not for mobile.
They just add up code you send to your clients instead of reducing it for mobile devices.
Imagine you want to make a responsive product page.
Do you really want to deliver a big 90KB product photo, if a 15KB photo would already fill the mobile screen?
Do you really want to compute personalized product recommendations if they are just hidden afterwards?
Do you really want mobile devices to download and interpret your whole stylesheet if half of the interface elements are going to be hidden anyway?
You don't.
If you start mobile-first, don't let your mobile performance be affected by additional desktop features.
Be kind, serve the clients exactly what they need.
If the mobile internet was fast enough and limits weren't as low as they are, I would probably think the other way. But we have to wait few years for that. For now in my opinion it is better to build seperate mobile website. But it is also very useful to have responsive design - that can't hurt even with separate mobile design.
I'm going to avoid too much subjectivity here, as everyone will have a different opinion.
Yes, I have this approach working well on my company website (www.achaleon.com). I was involved in the beta testing for a WordPress plugin called Mobile Smart Pro. It implements elements from a bigger open source project to detect mobile devices and apply a completely different theme to the mobile site. It has the advantage that you can create two completely separate themes and optimise every aspect of them for the device and the context in which it is being used. You can even serve up different content if you wish in the two versions.
This approach requires careful planning and thorough testing. It is also more demanding for the designer. I have friends in the WP community who have built sites this way. My understanding is that this requires stronger programming skills (you need to plan far more carefully than with a standard 'static' css implementation). They used cssgrid.net as a start point
