I found the case in which I have to send 1 email to several recipients. I have the names stored into a Sharepoint list. Using REST API and a call into my Workflow I’ve been able to get a list of login names (using $expand=MyUserField and $select=MyUserField/Name), then you just need to concatenate them separate […]

When I want to update my phpBB forum I get this annoying message because I’m using a homemade auth file where $_SERVER is used. I found the solution on the phpBB forum: Modified /forums/config/parameters.yml. Set core.disable_super_globals to false and delete the cache

For a project I needed to get the events from a Google Calendar, as well as the colors from it. It’s been a pain, but after a couple of days I’ve been able to create a PHP page to do so. It will use the server-to-server auth mechanism. I’ll try to provide the different steps […]

On a remote PC it was another logon name that appeared by default… In that case I had to click on “Switch User”, then “Other User”, and finally enter my username and password. Very frustrating.

This guy created a Firefox extension to force the CORS (access-control) headers from a call. This is very useful when you want to do a JavaScript/AJAX query over another website that doesn’t allow the cross domain calls. His code is on github.

Lorsqu’on regarde ses fichiers de logs Apache (par exemple), on peut se retrouver face à des caractères dont l’encodage est bizarre… par exemple “là” donnera “l\xe0”.
