Is there a way to connect thunderbird/lightning to the redmine's calendar? - redmine

I just started my adventure with the Redmine 3.0, the project manager.
I can't Google out if there is an option to export its calendar to e.g. thunderbird-ligthning. There are some plugins, but they are not compatible with current Redmine 3.0. I couldn't find out anything relevant in the changelog, too.
Can anyone tell me from their own experience, if (and how) this feature is available?

Generally, anything that exports to the ics format can be made available to Thunderbird/Lightning, or any other calendaring program. The other option is to make use of the caldav protocol, which is also standardized.
I have heard reports that this fork of the redmime ics export plugin works for 3.x, but I haven't tested it myself. Maybe you can give it a try.
If you would like to create your own, I'd suggest adapting sabreDAV to use redmime as a backend. As an example for how to write a custom sabre frontend for a different service, check out this work.

How to use a Swagger UI plugin?

I am working on a project that, among other things, automatically generates Swagger APIs for Python projects. One thing that I have noticed is that the curl text exposes passwords if the API requires those. Since there's no way to mask the passwords as of now (https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/issues/5025), it seems like the easiest thing to do is to simply disable the curl text so that I can screenshare my Swagger API without exposing my password.
In another issue (https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/issues/5020), a plugin is shown that can disable the curl text.
However, I'm totally stumped on how to actually import and use this plugin. There's lots of documentation about how to write plugins, and none on how to import them. I can see that I can load plugins using the plugins option in https://swagger.io/docs/open-source-tools/swagger-ui/usage/configuration/, but I don't know how where to put the code.
As Helen alludes to, the answer to your question depends on your setup. However, I would hazard to guess that you will need to configure the SwaggerUI object by running an "unbundled" version of the app. You might think of this as creating a custom entrypoint to a docker container, say.
For example, the link you provide shows suggestions for running a customised version of SwaggerUI. Those customisations are written in JavaScript, so any old HTML page with the necessary dependencies in place which loads the script you write to configure SwaggerUI would answer the question of "where to put that code".
The details would depend on any frameworks you are or are not using.

How can develop module in Sitecore?

I have started Sitecore learning few months ago.That time first question come in my mind is that how can I develop module? but can not able to find documentation. Can anybody provide me documentation how can I develop custom module?
If you mean you would like to create a module for the Sitecore marketplace, as others have done, then the process is fairly simple.
Write your code (ASCX, ASPX, CS, JS, etc.)
Create your Sitecore items (Layouts, renderings/sublayouts, custom buttons, etc.)
Create your configuration files (if necessary) for the App_Config\Include folder.
Build your solution and test it in a Sitecore instance locally.
Package the published files and item together using the Sitecore packaging utility.
Contribute your module on the marketplace and upload the package for review.
What you are hoping to achieve here is that another person could grab your package, install it on their system, and be able to use it without needing to recompile your source code.
If you want to develop a module, come up with the idea and then build it.
You can then submit it to the Sitecore a Marketplace under the contribute section.
https://marketplace.sitecore.net/Contribute.aspx?sc_lang=en
Typically you'll submit a package to this section and documentation on how to setup and use the module.
Sitecore will then test the module and inform you whether it is suitable for the marketplace. Your module will then be published on the marketplace ready for others to download.
When developing your module you should consider compatibility with Sitecore versions, and you should also test it thoroughly.
Here's some more info on best practices when building modules:

Accessing Google related resources using QT Creator

So I've done some digging, but came up with nothing thus far because I feel that this would be a close to impossible task. But I am more than willing to look on my own, I wanted to know if it was possible to access Google related resources using QT Creator. So For example if I wanted to use say Google analytics, what would I need to research? Would I need to have some sort of app-engine side?
Thanks!
You can access most of the Google products by using the corresponding API (AppEngine is not required for that). This link lists all available Google APIs. You can then access it using the Google API Client for C++, but the C++ binding seems to be in alpha.
Edit:
It seems that Google stopped the development and support of the C++ binding for their APIs. The library source code can still be found on Github.

Recording Audio on the browser

I have basic website I developed in Django and SQL lite.
I want to add this feature to it.
A user should be able to click a button and record a message that is no longer than 10 seconds and save it.
It can be saved on server as an audio file or can be saved on the database if that is more efficient and possible.
Can you please let me know if Django already has any component or plugin or something that I can use?
If it doesn't exist, what are my best options. If I need to write from the scratch, can you point me to any tutorials/blogs, etc?
Thanks for your time

As far as I know there's no such plugin for django. But it's not mainly django's work to do this. You can record audio via javascript using Web Audio API, or by using one of several projects (see this answer). Also if you have to support older browsers I think that your best bet is to use flash for this purpose (but some mobile browsers don't support it). So the best thing is to use some sort of fallback mode with html5&javascript implementation for browsers that support Audio API and use flash for others.

Is there a handy GUI for REST manual services testing?

While developing a REST service I want to be able to manually submit some data (e.g. by PUT or POST method) to a specific URL and see the response. The only tool I know is SoapUI, which is not only a commercial product, but a bit overcomplicated while my task is so simple. There is a question about SoapUI alternatives, but all the discussion there is about SOAP services, while what I need is just some REST :-) Any ideas? I know I can write such a tool myself pretty easily, but I'd prefer not to reinvent a bicycle if there is one.
UPDATE: Mark Cidade's answer is ok, but I'd wish the tool could run on Linux too...
UPDATE 2: The solution of my choice came to be HttpRequester Firefox extension.
I have just discovered and installed RESTClient, which is a Firefox add-on (it's ideal for me as I do most development on FF, both on Windows and Linux). No idea if it's any good yet. :)
EDIT: I've started it using extensively since, and it's very good, it really gives back a lot of data about the response and the request.
My favorite is WizTools RESTClient which is written in Java. A nice feature is that it lets you save requests and responses to file if you want to reload them later. It's also cross-platform thanks to Java.
There is yet another free handy application called Postman which will let you do this. It was initially launched as a Chrome plugin and since then is available on the Mac.
I use the Chrome plugin extensively on Windows, Linux and Mac. What I find most useful is the fact that, when signed in, all your requests can be synced across all machines. I use the Mac at the office and when I get home, I pick up where I left of on a Windows machine.
Cross platform insomnia you must test it.
If you use mac then paw another option
Any HTTP request tester will do. Fiddler is a good one.
You can try this online testing tool https://reqbin.com/
For Mac and Linux there is Charles http://www.charlesproxy.com/ but it is not free.
If you need tool, which you can run on Linux, try WebScarab, it is written on Java.
https://restclientgui.codeplex.com
Download it from the downloads section
I'm Only Resting works for me.
I'm quite fond of either Fiddler (if you need to dig into things deeper) or Insomnia (if you're trying to get to grips with a particular REST API).
Fiddler runs on Linux using the Mono runtime. Insomnia provides Linux packages. I like that Insomnia has a scaffolding generator for the most popular languages, so when you made a particular REST API call work in Insomnia, you can generate code for many languages from that. Neat!
Telerik now has a new standalone software to test API's: Telerik Test Studio for APIs
http://www.telerik.com/download/teststudio-apis
If you are just looking for a lite rest client and have tried all the others here and did not like them!
I finally rested on Restlet a Chrome plugin.
It is commercial software, but "appears" to be free to use if you are only making requests, which is all I need now.
I may try the trial in the future.
cURL is free and runs on almost everything.
