I am new to Microsoft Dynamics. I managed to create new solution and know how to add web resource to particular page like Contacts. Also, I have added few buttons to Ribbon control with their actions.
Now my problem is, I want to add a button either to ribbon control or anywhere in page, which I can access in complete CRM (like I can do in Master Page of asp.net), and which will help me open my web resource.
For example, if I click on Charts bar, web resource should be visible, otherwise it should be hidden.
My question may be lame, because I am very new to CRM Dynamics, kindly suggest my way is correct or I need to take some different approach?
If I understand it correctly you're looking for a way to add a button to multiple screens without need to modify each of them separately. (To avoid the pain when modifying all the ribbons or all the forms.)
In that case I'd suggest creating a separate JS web resource with code that adds a button with desired functionality, styling etc. And use Form Libraries Manager from XrmToolbox to bulk add the resource to all the forms.

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
I have implemented New UI SiteEdit in Tridion 2011 SP1. When I have created a page without components in it ,I am able to edit the page. If I am inserting the component I am not able to edit the page. Please help on this issue?
When changing a Page in New UI (Experience Manager or XPM), the page is checked-out. What you might be seeing for other users is expected behavior--other users should not be able to edit the page in the CME or within XPM.
Also, you should be restricted from editing content page for even the same user that has a different session (e.g. viewing the page from another browser).
When editing the page with the same user and session, you should be able to add multiple components. The page is checked out. Editing content on the page should be "editing components," rather than the page itself.
Let us know if you're seeing something else.
This can be a result of having an syntax error in your inline editing commands (i.e. the JSON syntax inside HTML comments). Normally you would use the OOTB building blocks that generate this for you, however, in some extreme scenarios, this syntax is written out by hand. I suspect that you may have the latter scenario. Verify your component and component field command syntax.
I want to move standard button override (Clone) on custom object through Outbound change Sets, but I'm unable to find this position in possible changes.
In which category Button Overrides are stored?
Custom buttons and links are listed in change sets under 'Button or Link'. To deploy the Page Layouts to which they are assigned, be sure to add it to the change set under 'Page Layouts'.
If you want to deploy a button overridden with a Visualforce page, you will need to deploy the whole object, the Visualforce page, its Apex Classes, and any components that are in the Visualforce page. In addition, once you have deployed the pages and classes, you will need to go into the new environment and give the appropriate profiles access to them, otherwise navigating to the page will give them an 'Insufficient Privileges' error.
If you want more finely-grained control over what specific metadata components you are deploying (and you don't simply want to do it manually in the target org) then you should consider using the ANT-based metadata migration tool that Salesforce provides. It has some more power and flexibility in terms of migrating sub-components of metadata. Here is a link with a little getting started video for that, and here is the documentation.
I'm using Views in Drupal to show node teasers. I would like now to show the complete node on the left side of my page, nearby the Views, and update it when the user click on a different teaser (better using AJAX).
what's the best method to implement it. I was considering to use a lightbox, but it a bit complex (a lot of complications... such as parsing the content with javascript again.. etc).
See screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72686/viewsAndNode.png
Thanks
A quick and dirty approach would be to use an iframe to hold the node content. Users would then be able to switch between nodes without reloading the page, which is I assume your goal. I don't think there is away to achieve what you are trying to do with views out of the box. Have you looked into using panels?
Here's what might be a clean way to do it, of course in drupal there's always many ways to accomplish things.
Providing the content for the ajax call
Install the services module
Setup a service that provides your node as you want it to be displayed
Create the placeholder for your content
Install the Panels Module
Create a empty fixed width panel to contain the node you want to load
Load the view into an adjacent panel
In your controlling view
Add a PHP view header and use (drupal_add_js('script.js')) to add a custom js file to the page. or add this to a custom module, or even your theme.
Re-Write your view node links to help put the js events together
Setup your javascript events
Use add_js to add a custom javascript js file to the page
In the custom js add an event to the view links that will poll the services module and load the node into the placeholder panel
I've solved using the lightbox, and just removing the html code I don't need from the node template with php if the parameter "lightbox=true" is passed with the link.
I'm trying to display content from anther site on to mine using an iframe. I'm just wondering if its possible to only display certain parts (divs) of this external page in the iframe.
Thanks!
You could try and use some jQuery on your site to dynamically alter the styles of the external site. I did something similar with SSRS where we had an iframe containing SSRS reports which we wanted to style. We used jQuery in the master page to find the matching elements inside the frame target and alter them as required.
As long as the external site is well marked up (plenty of ids, good semantic structure) you may be able to hide/re-arrange elements as you require. You may also need to delay the jQuery execution as the frame contents may not be completely loaded by the time your JavaScript executes.
You can find a VERY simple example here.
BUT, be careful of the legalities involved with showing partial content from someone else's site. If you're presenting their site as your own or without identifying information, you could be infringing on their copyright.
