Windows Phone - static articles with images result in a weird layout
See screenshot; it is a group with one article containing one 500x500px image as well as some long text. Tried with the 512 MB Emulator for now;
also the text isn't displayed correctly when first accessing the article (huge chunks are missing), but when coming back to the page again it appears correctly ... hence no screenshot :(
Answered below by David, please let us know if this doesn't fix you issue.
You can embed Iframes in static pages... But it's not obvious. Write your iframe code in a browser. Open the HTML file in a browser. Select the I frame, paste into the static article in ZipApp. Alternatively you could add iframe support the app in Visual studio.
Validate URLs
It would be great if you could validate the links used in groups to check we have put in the correct URL. Blogs all use different syntax, Flickr uses a weird syntax, do i include http://?
Putting a green tick if the link is good would be cool. Also a "test link" button would be handy too
edit data
How do I edit the info into the articles and groups after building in Visual Studio. I have an app that I've redesigned in blend but I now want to edit the text in the articles. Let me know if that's possible. I new to Visual Studio and programing all together and love your app.
There are a few ways. One is to edit the files that are stored in js/cache/ the easiest way is to make changes to the static content on the zip app website. Download the new app and then copy the js/cache folder from the new app to the old one overwritting the data.
Twitter using #hashtags doesn't work
If you use a #hashtag then it searches for the text, rather than #text. Example, I set up a Twitter group to use #astonmartin, but instead of returning all tweets with #astonmartin in them, it returns tweets from users with names like 'iloveastonmartins' or 'astonmartin_owner', in other words it ignores the # when it submits the JSON query to Twitter :-)
This is sadly harder than you might think As a compromise we have now enabled the users to preview their data sources. But have no plans to produce a full preview.
Images not included in download
We have created an app through the website and downloaded it today. The app seems to be referencing the images from the images folder, but the images aren't being put in the folder. Not sure if this is expected behaviour (ie. we are supposed to copy the images in manually) or not.
This is not expected behaviour. We think the images bug you had here might relate to another bug we fixed last month so this should no longer be an issue as I can't reproduce your issue.
Article not removed from list when deleted
If you delete an article from the list of Articles, it is not removed and you get the "Crikey" message if you click on it.
RSS Content not displayed correctly
The Detail page of the following Feeds isn't displayed correctly - it's just empty not showing the article on the Detail page even though W3C Validator says it's a valid feed: http://research.microsoft.com/rss/news.xml , http://feeds.feedburner.com/dmxrss all blogs.msdn.com blogs I found. Any hints?
