I use the info button to display a settings page. This page is a modal. I need another button from here to display "About" info, since I've already used "info" for something. I have a search form that is accessed only from the modal. On the search form, I need a help icon. I can use the info button but that seems confusing, since I already use the info button from the main view to access the modal. What else can I do for help and about icons/buttons?
An old saying in user interface design: "a word is worth a thousand icons". Just use "About" and "Help", or are you that cramped for space?
A question mark (?) is a pretty safe bet for "Help".

Can someone point me to the right direction of how to show options(copy, forward...) when I long press an element (a message in this case) like wtsapp/FB messenger?
I don't even know what keywords should I be searching...(tried modal, popover, action sheet)
Thanks.
Update:
I understand that I should use the on-hold gesture...I am specifically looking for the black option bubble to be shown. I don't know what it is called(not modal/pop up/ action sheet/popover/alert). Thanks.
you can use on-hold="myFunction()", check the link below
http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/directive/onHold/
and then use the $ionicActionSheet Service to do your logic, check the link below
http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/service/$ionicActionSheet/
on-hold event is your friend : http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/directive/onHold/
I think following Codepen example would help in accomplishing what you want to do:
Actionsheet : http://codepen.io/ionic/pen/jLylA
Also, have a look this thread on Ionic Forum before you start implementing, just to avoid any similar issue, plus, this thread got some CodePen examples, that your might find useful :
https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/displaying-actionsheet-on-a-long-press-aka-hold-event-problem/5663
You can implement long press with either on-hold and if you want to implement long press for buttons, try this directive from this link and a note on directive can be found here . You may need to use a custom action sheet ($ionicActionSheet) to implement the UIMenuController (iOS component) like feature.
.selectable{
-webkit-user-select: auto;
}
for selection and ion-content to overflow-scroll="true"

Can't post the image on the site but there it is.
I have been trying to find if this is a template or a separate nib file ala the page turn animation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That is called a UIActionSheet. It is created entirely in code, so it's limited to some pretty simple stuff (i.e. a few buttons, one of which is the cancel button, and one of which can be marked "destructive"). Just consult the documentation for the UIActionSheet class; it tells you all there is to know about it.
Also, here's the discussion in my book:

Basically as above,
I have a Virtuemart 2 online site with Add to Cart pop up enabled when it pops up all is well apart form the
View Cart and Continue Browsing links they have no separator in between them, I would like to have
View Cart | Continue Browsing
Ive looked at vmprices.js but have no clue :(
Can some one shed some light please?
Thank you!
Nick
You have to look into these files to customize that popup:
com_virtuemart/controllers/cart.php
components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/vmprices.js
Thanks

The actual text that is shown to the visitor is located in:
mysite.com/languages/en-GB.com_virtuemart.ini
Which can be changed, but should ideally be overridden.
This is harder to find than it should be because Dreamweaver does not search .ini files. Use the OS to search.
Additionally, the link for the "continue shopping" button can be changed by overriding the:
components/com_virtuemart/views/cart/tmpl/padded.php
file.
In my app I have two tabs. The first tab just controller with some functions.
The second tab has MapView with showUserLocation property YES.
As I know in general UIAlert message "app would like to use your current location" is displayed when app is launching, but in my raw app this message has time when I do the firs tap on my second tab.
Would you clarify me how can I manage this issue?
P.S.Sorry, but I didn't find any info about.
Thanks
It's actually better to only request location access when it's necessary. In many apps, some users might not even use the location-based features. Having it only pop up when they hit the second tab is perfectly fine.
Is there a function that allow me to select text when the extension
stays open. Normally when I Use the extension popup and I Click outside the
extension the extension close. Is there a wat to avoid this.
Thank you so much
Unfortunately there is currently no way to keep the popup open once you focus out of it. This is by design.
If you would like to always show something while interacting with the page, perhaps the experimental Info bars or even Desktop Notifications would work?
Hope that helped!
The only way to keep it open is to right click over the extension icon (button) and select "Inspect popup" the extension popup then show up and remain open but of course the debugger window show and this not a fix obviously still it will maybe inspire a hack... if someone is skilled enough and share the solution with all of us.
I encountered the same problem and I've thought of a possible solution (though not tested it):
Use your background.html to store the content of the popup action and upon loading the popup, you fetch the content via the default messaging for chrome extensions.
When doing all kinds of other stuff, like XHR's or something, I think you should do that in background.html too, so the requests won't abort if you close and you can do something with the result. Then when a user re-opens the popup, he'll see the result of his previous action instead of the default screen.
Anyone tried something like did already?
As far as I know you can't persist a pop up menu but my workaround has been using a content script to append a menu on page load. After the menu is appended you can toggle the menu via messaging between the background script and the content script.
If you want to encapsulate the menu from the page it's deployed on you could wrap your menu in an iframe. This could add complexity to your project since you would have to deal with cross origin issues and permissions.
There is an alternative hack for this. You can make use of chrome local storage to store the metadata as needed. Upon restart you can read that metadata and render the desired content. You will also probably clear that metadata after you have completed performing the operations based on that.
