I'm trying to find a library that can handle autocompletion with tokened (grouped) texts.
There are some very nice libraries out there for autocompletion such as:
https://github.com/EddyBorja/MLPAutoCompleteTextField
https://github.com/hoteltonight/HTAutocompleteTextField
https://github.com/TarasRoshko/TRAutocompleteView
The problem here is, I want to make the selection look like names tagging at SMS or Facebook app. So when the user tries to delete, he should delete all the text.
There are good jQuery implementations, one of them is this:
http://loopj.com/jquery-tokeninput/
I couldn't find any for iOS, perhaps the keywords are very generic, thus Google does not show any related results. Is there any library for this or can you provide any code examples?
What you're trying to achieve can't be done using the public SDK.
However, there exist some nice third party solutions.
I found this question, Is there an iPhone equivalent to the NSTokenField control?, which includes links to controls you could use.

I want to link my personal webpage on parse.com, so that I can implement the verify_email_success.html file. But I don't find a text field where this works.
Any ideas how to achieve this?
Looks like you need to first sign up at Parse.com and then create a new application (which will represent your website).
From quick Googling, I've found this tutorial which looks to focus on the type of thing you are trying to do:
http://blog.bizzi-body.com/2015/05/17/adding-email-verification-to-the-parse-com-sign-up-process/
UPDATE:
From looking into this a bit more, it appears that Parse.com works very much like many other web-based services/APIs, in that to "link" your application (website in your case) with Parse.com, you need to specify the Application Key that Parse provides when you create a new application via their website.
Untested example based on Parse.com documentation:
Parse.initialize("APPLICATION ID", "JAVASCRIPT KEY");

I have some basic questions that I couldn't figure out after searching for quite some time now. All tutorials and guides I've come across have the code already set up and I can't find them of much use. For instance, the Friend Smash example has the code integrated with buttons and other scripts that I can't use it in my own game.
I used Parse to upload my game and test it on facebook and it's working fine, but I want to add the social features to it (login, share, score etc.)
Picking up the code snippets that I'm supposed to use either brings me up errors (undefined variables etc.) or messes things up (I get the not-working, bugged login window on top of the running game inside Unity, while nothing happens if I build and run it).
Where am I supposed to put the code? For example:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/reference/current/FB.Init
In the "Example" part, where am I supposed to put this line?
FB.Init(SetInit, OnHideUnity);
Same thing here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/reference/current/FB.Feed
If I use the "Example" code as it is I get errors.
Do I have to use specific names for the scripts?
This is my first time uploading a game and trying to add social features to it so these questions may seem simple, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere.
You should create your own class instead of "Example" class, where you put all your Facebook specific functions. Then you should invoke your methods with your own components, buttons, triggers, whatever.
It is also you, who should take care of pausing the game while running social functions (login, share etc.).
I found this question on SO where someone gave a quick tutorial for how to use SLComposeViewController directly.
Everyone wants to implement sharing features in their apps and I can imagine there is a framework which already implemented a configurable share sheet that offers the user a lot of different options?
I can't imagine everyone is reinventing this wheel all the time. But I wasn't lucky finding an alternative to doing it myself either.
All I need is an overlay or action sheet which pops up with various share options. Then the user taps one, and the appropriate SLComposeViewController (or similar) will be shown.
Check share kit which is an opensource framework: http://getsharekit.com or addthis which is not open but gives you the desired result http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381270-addthis-for-ios-quick-start-guide
My problem is very similar to the one posted here:
http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Plotting-Addresses-Maps-t1968130.html
except that thread never found any solutions. Basically, I'm working on an Access form that has a datasheet as a subform. Upon clicking a button on the main form I'm trying to make it so that a browser window opens up and, using the address columns from the spreadsheet data in the subform, plot all the address markers listed. I've looked up a lot of ways to attempt this but I've yet to find a way that seems to work.
I'm not even sure if it's possible to plot multiple markers on Google Maps, but according to research (and after trying it myself) it seems like it isn't, although I don't want to rule it out entirely because I'm still not 100% sure. However I know both Google Earth and batchgeo.com do allow this. I still want to try and do this on Google Maps, but if that doesn't work I want to try to do it using batchgeo.com and if that still doesn't work, then Google Earth (I don't want to make the user download external software if possible).
If it helps, from what I've read API's seem like a useful tool, though I'm not sure how to apply it to an Access form, it seems more like a way to embed to already existing websites.
I'd really appreciate if someone could help me figure out how to approach this problem!
Maybe this would help?

It is Excel but should be translatable.
Here is another example, this time using Access:

embed to already existing websites.
You're right. There's no way, that I'm aware of, to embed a Google Maps object in a form (like an ActiveX control). Microsoft MapPoint is a software product that lets you do Map integration by way of an ActiveX control (no need to use HTML and/or javascript).
What I usually do on a project like you're working on is I get my HTML page working the way I want it to, outside and independent of MS Access. You should be able to program and test the HTML file locally without having to use an actual web server. Just use something like NotePad++ or Sublime Text Editor 2 to write your HTML and Javascript and then open the file in your browser to see if it works. I'm quite sure you'll need to use Javascript in your HTML page to make this work. That's what the Google Maps API is all about.
After you have your webpage working, then you will have to go into Access and write code to create that web page on the fly with the address data for the current data set. You can just write it out to the Windows Temp folder and then open your browser control that that web page.
Julian Knight's answer links to more specifics on how to create the HTML page on the fly. It looks like gobble-de-gook, mostly because it is. Outputting HTML/Javascript/CSS from VBA is far less than optimal. This is why you troubleshoot it outside of Access, as much as you can.
I get the following errors from the Google Rich Snippet Tool for my website http://iancrowther.co.uk/
hcard
Warning: This information will not appear as a rich snippet in search results results, because it seems to describe an organization. Google does not currently display organization information in rich snippets
Warning: At least one field must be set for Hcard.
Warning: Missing required field "name (fn)".
Im experimenting with vcard and Schema.org and am wondering if I'm missing something or the validator is playing up. I have added vcard and Schema.org markup to the body which may be causing confusion. Also, I am making the assumption I can use both methods to markup my code.
Update:
I guess with the body tag, I'm just trying to let Google discover the elements which make up the schema object within the page. I'm not sure if this is a good / bad way to approach things? However it lets my markup be free of specific blocks of markup. I guess this is open to discussion but I like the idea of having a natural flow to the content that's decorated in the background. Do you think there is any negative impact? I'm undecided.
I am in favour of the Person structure, this was a good call as this is more representative of the current site content. I am a freelance developer and as such use this page as my Organisation landing page, so I guess I have to make a stronger decision of the sites goals and tailor the content accordingly, ie Organisation or Person.
I understand that there is no immediate rich snippet gains, but im a web guy so have a keen interest in these kind of things.
With schema testing, I find it easiest to start from the most obvious problem, and try to work our way deeper from there. Note, I have zero experience with hcard, but I don't believe the error you mentioned actually has anything to do with your hcard properties.
The most obvious problem I see, is that your body tag has an itemtype of schema.org\Organization. When you set an itemtype on a dom element, you are saying that everything inside of that element is going to help describe that itemtype. Since you've placed this on your body element, you are quite literally telling Google that your entire page is about an organization.
From the content of your page, I would recommend changing that itemtype to schema.org\Person. This would seem to be a more accurate description. Once you make that change and run the scanner again, you may see more errors relating to the schema and we can work through those too (for example, you'll probably need to set familname and givenName).
With all of that said, you should know that currently there are no rich snippets that you will gain from adding this schema data. Properly setting this up on your page, is only good to do, especially since we don't know what rich snippets Google or others will expose in the future, but currently you won't see any additional rich snippets in Google search results from adding these tags. I don't want to discourage you from setting this up properly but I just want to set your expectations.
