chrome fails to export crm 2013 solution - export

I have been exporting and importing CRM 2013 solutions for our project over the last year with Chrome.
All of a sudden from this week, this now fails.
I go through all the prompts to select Managed solution, select version, etc. And when I click Export, the screen just closes and then nothing.
Anyone else experiencing this recently?

The latest Google Chrome version (37) removed the showModalDialog API.
You need to enable it again using a Group Policy or use another browser.
Details here: The (browser compatibility) cake is a lie
Also a registry fix is available: Google Chrome registry fix for Dynamics CRM 2011/2013

Google Data Studio report not refreshing from MySql

I have experimented with connecting Google Data Studio to one of our Mysql servers (Amazon RDS) and created a couple of reports. Everything is working great except that the reports are not refreshing automatically. I have to do it manually by pressing the "refresh data" button on the report.
Have anyone else experienced similar issues?
Luckely, I've found the workaround solution:
Install a plugin Data Studio Auto Refresh
Configure plugin on regular update (e.g. each 5 min)
Open Datastudio report in the background
After each 5 min - connections will be automatically refreshed.
Hooray! Use up-to-date reports.
P.S. IN GDS tracker - opened bug to resolve autoupdate issue without any timelines :(

DotNetNuke ControlBar not showing

Windows Server 2008 R2
IIS 7.5
DNN 7.2.1
Application Pool - .NET Framework Version = v4.0
After fresh install I get the problem when ControlBar is showing like this in IE10:
and does not respond to any actions.
And Google Chrome shows the website like:
Start by checking to see why your IIS site isn't serving up STATIC Files. Looks like your CSS and Images aren't loading.
Also, make sure the site is not running in Compatibility Mode or you didn't accidentally place the site on the Compatibility list.
You can also try hitting F12, going to the Network tab and refreshing the site. This will let you see if any resources (css/js) aren't getting loaded (404).

Opening Liferay portal w/ Glassfish sends Octet/stream 32bytes in some browsers

I've been working with liferay for a while, and currently i'm trying to build a company's intranet but I'm facing this weird problem.
There's some "co-workers" here in the company that can't open this Liferay portal in some of their browsers. The thing is when they write the url on their browsers and press Enter key, a file called "home" gets downloaded instead of opening the liferay web page.
This happens for some users in Mozilla Firefox, for others in Google Chrome, for other in both of them. Some of these users use Windows 7 O.S, some others use Ubuntu 12.04.
We're using Liferay Portal Community Edition 6.0.5 CE (Bunyan / Build 6005 / August 16, 2010)
with Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1.2.2 (build 5).
We've worked with prior Glassfish versions like 2.1 and 2.1.1, but we had never faced an issue like this one.
As I said this happens for some users, for some others it works fine.
Does anyone know what's the cause of this behaviour? How could I fix this?
Thanks in advance!
This sounds a lot like an ancient problem that has been found all over the internet - a problem in the gzip filter (Liferay also had it).
You state that you're using 6.0.5, odds are that it wasn't fixed in that release. I can't find it, but this issue is close. After all, the best recommendation is: Please update to the latest version to be back at a current version that gets more updates. Alternatively, deactivate gzip on Liferay (you can activate it on an Apache httpd sitting in front of Liferay)

Google App Engine not updating deployed files

I'm getting some strange issues with google app engine serving old versions of files. I have included some logging in one of my servlets and deployed to google app engine several times over the last 24 hours. However, instead of seeing the logging i added, I'm seeing logs from a previous version of the file every time the servlet runs.
I've tried changing versions and redeploying but this doesnt seem to fix the problem.
I'm using Eclipse Juno with the app engine plugin if that makes a difference.
Any ideas what I can try or what I might be doing wrong?
I had a similar problem recently, and that I fixed by logging into appengine.google.com>MyAppIdentifier>(Main)>Versions and selecting the current version as the default.
This should not only serve your latest version, but also use the latest version for log viewing and other administrative tasks.
In the logs, make sure that you're checking the correct version:
Otherwise redeploy to a brand new version and check that version explicitly directly from the version url that can be found under the Versions section.
Make sure that before redeploying your APP after making changes you Remove Launch and Remove All Terminated launches by pressing the double cross buttons next to the "clear console" buttons on the console window in Eclipse...I hope this solve your problem.
December 2020 Answer
Not sure if this is an account or billing specific setting, but I found that App Engine started not updating to my latest app deploy once I reached 50 Versions in my App Engine list.
After deleting a bunch of old versions (taking down to 30) on next deploy it picked up my latest changes immediately.
It could be due to caching issue. Try reloading the website by adding a query parameter . Eg <website-url>?q=1 and see if changes are reflected
Open the url -> latest-version-number-dot-website-url . Latest version number can be obtained by clicking on version menu item on the side bar as seen below
If you have app.yaml file in your source code. Try removing headers related to caching and deploy and check to confirm its a caching issue. Caching headers could be of below form
Cache-Control: public, max-age=604800, immutable
Also make sure your project compiles correctly and doesn't contain any errors. I had this problem basically because I was deploying old compiled code, while it gave me an error "you have errors in your project, are you sure you want to deploy?"
I tried all the suggestions on SO, but ultimately, I found the best fix.
Because I transferred domain names and web hosting, I neglected to change my Domain's Resource Records. After making sure my code worked properly with the application (appname.appspot.com), I created a Custom Domain found in Console menu > App Engine > Settings > Custom domains
After you add the custom domain, make sure you change your Domain setting's CNAME www alias to the prescribed value (for me it was ghs.googlehosted.com).
Since changing that CNAME value, all of my subsequent deploys updated immediately. Hope this works for you and all others. Happy coding!
The gcloud (at list in python) has problem with line 'skip_files' in app.yaml,
So you can try the old method of deploying app with app engine,
use appcfg.py instead of gcloud.
see how in https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/tools/uploadinganapp

Chrome Extension: retrieve AD credentials from session to auto-login on Wordpress

I need to create a Chrome extension that will allow us to get the user's credentials so that he will be automatically loging into the intranet (heavily-modified Wordpress).
I know for sure that Firefox can access Registry and AD credentials, but with the erratic updates and extensions that are constantly disabled by those, we can't afford to manually check every time firefox has an update.
I've searched on Google and so far I haven't found any answer. I've checked on Google labs and also on the Chrome extension store to see if there was a similar extension, but I found nothing either.
I've seen ADM released by chrome but this is for network administrators who want to centralize settings.
Any one has a clue on this?
This is not well documented, but after some research I found that this capability is built into Chrome. All you need to do is add the Wordpress site to the "Intranet" zone on a Windows PC.
The setting is accessible from Chrome (even though it is a Windows setting):
Settings/Advanced/Change Proxy Settings/Security/Local Intranet/Sites
