What does it mean when someone assign me an issue on GitHub? - github

I have submitted a pull request to an issue. Afterwards, I received an email informing me that I was being assigned to that particular issue. What does this mean and what am I supposed to do? Should I continue to improvise that issue??

These are the general steps you need to take
read carefully your email, see what its title and content is
click on the View on GitHub link, so the page will be opened
look for comments and history on the page
look for further commits that may have been pushed to this branch, if you are not the author, then you will probably need to look into them
if still unclear, reread your code and see what may be the problem
if still unclear, ask the person who assigned it back

How can I link an issue when am I filling out a pull request form on GitHub?

There is a manual https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-your-work-on-github/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue
and I cannot complete the 4th step because I cannot find "Linked issues".
just write #issue number in pull request description to link the isuue
you can also write fixes #issue number closes #issue number to automatically close an issue when your pull request is accepted and merged
if you are the owner of the repository you can link an issue by clicking the setting icon in the Linked Issues on the right sidebar but if you are an outside contributor then you cant use it to change or link any issue you can only see which issues are linked

How to view detailed activities of a repo on GitHub?

I was able to see all details of activities on GitHub, such as who made a pull request, who put a comment on the pull request, etc. But for some reason, once I navigated out of that page a few days ago, I was never able to get back to such a page and find it again on GitHub.
(The "pulse" doesn't have such info as it is a higher level summary.)
How can the detailed activities page be shown on GitHub?
P.S. with the greatest effort to find it, it turns out the page might simply be https://github.com but it lists all repos that I was involved in previously, instead of just the repo I want to look at. So I wonder if there is a way to see what https://github.com is listing except it is for a particular repo only.
That pretty much sounds like the "Notifications" page. When logged in, click on the "Bell" symbol top right; you'll be taken to
https://github.com/notifications

GitHub Username Change Breaks GitHub Page

I had a GitHub account named "ericthelam73" and a subsequent website along with it (at ericthelam73.github.io). I set up A Records to link it and ericblam.com, as specified on GitHub's help page.
Recently, I changed my username to "ericblam". I moved the repo ericthelam73.github.io to ericblam.github.io as well. It seemed to have worked.
Every now and then, when I try going to ericblam.com or even ericblam.github.io, nothing happens. It is like I entered nothing into the browser. The other day this happened, but after a little while I was once again able to access my web page.
Is there a reason for this behavior? Did I forget to change something during the migration from one username to another?

What do you do when Facebook blocks your URL?

To reproduce:
Go to: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
Type in allprowebtools.com
Submit
Error: This link is blocked, or you have triggered an excessive amount of scrapes. If you think you're seeing this by mistake, please let us know.
I am hoping someone out there can help me. Things I have done in efforts to correct this:
Clicked the "let us know" link
Talked to one of Facebook's sales representatives, she said she see's no obvious reason why this is happening
Perfected our open graph html tags
Registered and monitor for all major blacklisting companies, we have a good status on all I can find
Changed our IP address, for the record you can use the IP as the URL (http://54.68.7.197/) and the error changes to: Failed to get composer template data.
Opened Bug Ticket with Facebook was told to put this on this site: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/460783617337306/
If anyone has anything that can help, please help a fellow frustrated programmer out!
I solved it! Since the time of my question I have:
Wrote a letter pleading to Facebook
Deleted an old hacked account
Asked 20 people to click the "let us know" link that appears when
banned
Final solution that worked....
I started paying for post advertising on my page, nothing that went to the website. One of the posts I really wanted to promote our new blog post so when I posted it I put the IP address in the URL instead of the TLD. Posted it, advertised it for $5, 10 minutes later we were unbanned!
Hopefully this answer helps someone else that is going through this hell!

Open Graph Action and Object Resubmission

As I submit an application for "read" action on Open Graph I received the following response.
Status: Changes needed
Unfortunately, your article.read built-in submission does not meet the read requirements specified at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/#read. You must give users the ability to turn sharing off/on globally as well as remove an article that was shared within the app. In addition, read actions should only be generated when there is a strong indication that the user is actually reading the article. Please note that we cannot accept resubmission as this time due to technical limitations, so you will need to create a new submission. We plan to have this resolved within the next couple of weeks. We suggest making the required changes and checking back. We appreciate your patience. Note: If you are creating an aggregation based on the object, you need to add 6-7 unique sample objects, and then create a corresponding sample action acting on each of these unique objects. (You can not just create 6-7 sample actions pointing to the same sample object). Submission Checklist: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/checklist
Please make changes below and resubmit for review.
Unfortunately, this "guide" is not helping with anything. Firstly, I have no idea where to do this:
You must give users the ability to turn sharing off/on globally as well as remove an article that was shared within the app.
Second of all, I don't even know how to "resubmit"!
Any help would be appreciated.
I was experiencing the same thing. You have to click on the name of your action that you submitted. Once you do that, Facebook provides detailed instructions why they didn't approve the action and what you need to do before you resubmit. Once you review the message, you can make the necessary changes and save the action again. Then you'll have the option to resubmit. In my case Facebook said that I need to provide more detailed instructions what the user needs to do to get an action published. They provided this example: "User must create an account, enable Timeline sharing in the settings, view a product within the app and then click the “want” button underneath the product image to trigger a story". I did that and resubmitted. Hopefully it works this time around. Good luck.
To resubmit, just delete the rejected action and create a new one. You can use the same action name as before. You then go through the submission process again as you did the first time.
Facebook have recently updated their guide to implementing their built-in action types. For the Read action type, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/#read. You will see a sample application that meets the following criteria required for the use of this action type:
Turn sharing on/off globally on each page an article appears.
Remove articles they shared within your app on each page an article appears.
Only generate read actions when you're sure someone is interested in reading the article.
Built-In actions can't be resubmitted. It is a FB Bug:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/364663400220101?browse=search_4f44876aabaef7501649601
From this answer on FB tools and support I got this:
You can start a new submission at the bottom of the "Items in Review" page:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/337449599791917/review-status/items-in-review/
That link didn't work for me.. so I just went to the app dashboard and clicked on status and review
clicking on the start a new submission button loaded a dialog that prompted me to select which items to "re-review".. so I only selected the problematic one:
after that it loads a form for you to resubmit, so here you gotta re-upload the iOS simulator build etc..
and that's it!
