Disable activex alert popup - plugins

This security alert popup is getting triggered every time when we use ActiveX in our page, preventing it from displaying in the browser.
I want to disable this alert popup. It should allow the page to load without this prompt. How can I change my settings to stop this alert?

Tools -> Options -> Advanced [Tab]
Scroll Down to
Security
And check
Allow active content to run files n my Computer.
Are you going to do this in all of your user's PC? Hope it is an intranet application and you have control over the user's PC. If it is an internet website. Forget it! :)

Connect-PnPOnline -UseWebLogin Login popup doesn't load when IE Security Level Zone is High

I have a PowerShell script that is supposed to open the web login popup, since the SharePoint site requires MFA. The script opens the popup, however, it does not load the Microsoft login page content. It loads just a blank page.
After some hours of troubleshooting, we identified that this is due to the security settings of the Internet Explorer. When the Security Level Setting is set to High in IE, neither the browser nor the popup loads the login page(presume the popup also loads IE).
Due to server restrictions,it is not possible to change the IE settings to a lower level.
Is there any other way of using Connect-PnPOnline in MFA environments/connect to SharePoint Online using MFA
OR is there a way to specify the browser opened by the popup(Edge loads the login page without an issue)?
Found that IE was automatically logged in to our Intranet (SharePoint Online). Logged out of IE, and got the webdialog back again.
I had the same. What helped for me was running PowerShell under administrative privileges...
I understand that you are not able to lower down the IE browser security settings level.
I suggest you add the SharePoint site to the trusted site list and configure the User Authentication setting may help you to fix the issue.
You can refer to the steps below to add the site to the trusted site list.
Go to Tools(ALT + X)-> Internet options-> Security tab.
Click on Trusted sites and click on sites button.
Insert the site URL and click on Add button.
Click on the Close button.
You can refer to the steps below to configure the User Authentication setting.
In the Security tab click on Trusted sites and then click on the Custom level button.
Scroll to the bottom and find User Authentication.
Select the Prompt for username and password option for logon setting.
Apply the settings and restart the IE browser.
Then after again try to check for the issue.

Don't open intercom messenger on load

I am integrating Intercom into my website, but when a user loads the page, the chat window automatically opens up. I have gone through their documentation, adding things like Intercom('hide'), turning off and removing auto messaging, etc, but the messenger still opens up. I have reached out to their customer support (on their own chat app) and no one has responded back or reached out. Kind of bad UX to have it open without anyone clicking the chat button. Anyone know how to disable this feature?
The answer is in one of their guides Customize the Intercom Messenger (technical) rather than the technical documentation:
First, you’ll need to hide the Messenger for all of your customers. Just visit your Messenger settings and deselect the options for turning the Messenger on.
Next, you’ll need to think about which users you’d like to show the Messenger to (for example, your VIP customers).
Finally, add the hide_default_launcher attribute to your intercomSettings object on your site. The value of thehide_default_launcher attribute should be true or false, depending on if you want to hide or show the launcher.
So hide_default_launcher is the key.
You can go to App Settings > Messenger Settings section and blank Welcome Message:
click to open an image

Allowe location services again programmatically

I have disabled location services on Safari (iphone) when I load my web clicking on "Not allow". How can I allow it again for the same web page (programmatically)
Best regards
You can not change user preferences programmatically. You can simply check if location services are on and your application has access to services if not prompt user to allow location services to use this feature in your app.
You can't, you will have to go in to the settings app and enable it there.
(if you want your app on Appstore) Programmatically you can not call that dialog which asks you for location services permission.
manually go to Settings -> General, scroll to the bottom and go to Reset-> Reset Location & Privacy.

Browser blocking popup Facebook permissions

I have been creating Facebook apps for sometime now. I use the javascript SDK to trigger a popup to ask for the user's permissions. The popup is activated when the user clicks a button, so not on page load or by an event other than a click. Now recently browsers have been blocking the permissions popup where this NEVER used to be a problem in the past. Any ideas?
Thanks
Tyrone
For Facebook applications, there are several different options for display modes. popup is simply one of them.
You may be interested in using any of the following: page, popup, touch (mobile devices), and iframe. page may be the most convenient for you as iframe is disallowed for certain dialog functionality.

Enjoy and good luck!

iOS, CLLocationManager: Displaying the "reenable Location Services" Popup

if location services are turned off (after the user once did allow the service) and you then start location updates, a system popup should appear. (the documentation says so in the description of [CLLocationmanager locationServicesEnabled])
But if I setup a test project, which just initialises a CLLocationManager and then calls startLocationUpdates, the popup does NOT appear on every app start. But it should if I understand the documentation right?
I am not talking about the first popup, which asks the user to allow or deny location use for that app. I am talking about the popup, which asks the user to reenable the location services in the settings. That popup has a direct button to the settings application. You can see it, if you disable location services and than open up the maps app. Everytime you press the locate-me button now, the popup appears. Screenshot:
I want it to show up reliably on every app start in case the services are disabled. (other apps do it the same way, e.g. aroundme)
Thanks, Markus
The Popup will only appear once (in some cases twice) for the lifetime of an app!
That is the result of my tests. If anyone has additional information, feel free to write / contact me!
Thanks.
