Seems like Popfly automagically figured out that I don't have Silverlight installed. But when I click da button to install it my anti-vious software says it has a virus.Any thoughts?
I have noticed that when using IE 7, on two different systems (one a dell laptop with XP SP2, the other an iMac dual-booting Vista) PopFly works fine for about 15 mins and then will totally freeze my system and force a hard boot. The freeze happens in the mashup creator, but is inconsistent in ...
I'm trying to create a mashup that will display thumbnail images and have each image link to a different url. I used the image scraper to extract a list of all the images i want to use (i had to create such a page on my web site. meaning a page with all the thumbnails). Then connect it to the ...

I understand why you might want to use code blocks to create AJAX-like interfaces to XML data streams, but I'm wondering why you don't offer an option to process a pure XML stream that might have been pre-processed by an XSLT file. I recently built some nice mashups of employee population ...
I have an idea for a few Blocks but I am stumbling on getting the block SDK up and running. I try to open the .sln file in visual studio as well as the tester.csproj BUT I get that the files cannot be open since they are not supported by this installation. Im using Visual studio Express ...

Hi, I am a new user on Popfly, and am really enjoying it. I was fidelling around with the colour schemes, and cannot get back to the black UI scheme - it is not on the list. A tiny UI bug, but it would be great if it could be fixed. Many thanks, Iain

I was creating a block using JS and XML. As a newbie, I wrote down the code using Visual Studio 2005 and copy/pasted it to popfly block editor. Then I thought popfly explorer would be much easier then copy/paste method. But I had no idea that it is possible to create projects using C# or VB.NET ...
It would be extremely convenient to be able to point to sections of videos rather than a complete video to be able to only show Region Of Interest in some videos, rather than having viewers go through the whole video. Also, would it be possible to have the video block output the time position ...

When I try to run the Popfly Explorer in Visual Express 2005 for VB or C#, it keeps telling me the Connection has timed out. I know I'm connected, because I'm posting now; I can get into Popfly without a problem. Could this be because I have VB.NET Orcas installed too? Popfly Explorer ...

I can't seem to figure out how to work with a boolean output. I have two block going into a RegExp block and checking to see if the info matches. But I can't figure out how to set something up if its true, or something else if its false. Any help?
I've just started using popfly and installed the explorer (vs 2005 team dev ed). I can connect okay, but do not see my projects (I created one block and one mashup). Is there anything I need to do to make the project available to VS2005? Mike
I've only just recieved access to Popfly and I love it!!! I did have a suggestions, maybe this is already in the feature set and I just don't know about it yet but I think there are two features that jump out in my mind: 1. Grouping or catagorizing blocks in to folders or bigger blocks. I'm ...
Great work Popfliers. I like your app. I just blogged about how I built a Popfly Mashup that consumes a JSON data feed. This included a custom built Data Block, the Flickr Block, and the Slideshow Block. Peter Laird Blog Entry - Building a Data Driven Mashup with Microsoft Popfly Comments ...

I don't admit to having formed a PopFly mental model yet but it seems navigation of the general site is missing. A breadcrumbs model (or more strictly, a Homeware Path approach http://www.visiblearea.com/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Patterns/Homeward_path) might be worth consideration? Good luck with ...

Trulia ( http://developer.trulia.com/) would be a great site to have a block for. They have a well defined API, etc., and it would give a lot of geodata. Unfortunately, it's a bit beyond me to build the block. Anyone want to give it a go? M. ...

Yesterday and today when I tried to use Popfly it literally crashed my computer (IBM T41 Thinkpad laptop). It actually caused the laptop to power off! No blue screen -- just a dark screen. This happened in both Firefox 2.0.0.3 and IE 6. The funny thing is that I used Popfly last week for about ...
I would like to be able to create mashups that finds my list of Facebook friends, and a) puts their profile photo into one of the photo apps (like tiles, or sphere) and 2) places their photos onto a map based on their city. If anyone has a list of steps, or video tutorial that would be great!
Vorrei salutare tutti quelli che si stanno impegnando in questo grande progetto, ringraziarli e dare loro buona fortuna. Questo progetto mi piace molto! Siete grandi!! <img src="/library/msdn/images/emoticons/smile_teeth.gif">
I've noticed that sometimes when I rip someone else's project some of the blocks are off my screen. I assume that's because my screen size or resolution is smaller than theirs? (I'm on a Dell laptop at the maximum resolution for my screen -- 1280x800). M.
Is anyone implementing any form of data storage in their blocks? If so how are you going about it. Hopefully this isn't a stupid question <img src=" http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif"> Have a nice day, Tim

When I clicked on the header image in the web page builder and it popped up the editor I wanted to put a tab before the text. Instead of inserting a tab in the text box it went to the next tab stop on the web page (in my case it selected the bold button in the editor.) It would be nice to be ...

How about only showing the blue <em>output</em> connectors for block that actually have an output? And how about indicating that the block has self-render capabilities by changing the colour? Actually, that would be a good inclusion in the icon in the block library too...
How can the User Input be used with Virtual Earth. Whenever I use it, it ends up on the top and you can't click in the boxes. Is there something that can make it ask for the input first before displaying the map or something to separate them?
