How to add a Unicode symbol to a Microsoft teams tab title - microsoft-graph-api

I am creating a app for Microsoft Teams. I am trying to create a tab using microsoft graph post api.
/teams/${teamId}/channels/${channelId}/tabs payload is an object with following params:
{
displayName: 'My Tab'
'teamsApp#odata.bind': 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/appCatalogs/teamsApps/com.microsoft.teamspace.tab.web',
configuration: {…},
};
Currently creating Tab with tab name 'My Tab'. How can I prepend a unicode logo along with name. e.g. '+unicode-logo + My Tab'. Unicode logo is available to a particular font file.

There doesn't seem to be any way to add unicode logo along with name while creating tab using Graph API. Supported type is string.

Sentence dictionary in Azure cognitive services

I'm having trouble to find the right way to create sentence dictionary using new portal
There is still a way to create one in legacy portal, but no clear examples. Also I'm curious if sentences would take into account grammar. I want to create some translations fron English to Polish which has quite complex grammar and depending on grammatical case and context different output is expected.
We can you the translator dictionary from the new portal too. But we need to take the keys generated from the new portal to custom language translator portal. Let’s walk through the solution.
Part 1: Language translation using Azure portal. Inbuild grammar (not complete)
Go to azure portal and search for a translator
Fill in the details according to the subscription
The above block will convert the English language into Polish according to the requirement. Below is the python code generated for translation. Fill in the details required according to the subscription.
import requests, uuid, json
# Add your key and endpoint
key = "<your-translator-key>"
endpoint = "https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com"
# location, also known as region.
# required if you're using a multi-service or regional (not global) resource. It can be found in the Azure portal on the Keys and Endpoint page.
location = "<YOUR-RESOURCE-LOCATION>"
path = '/translate'
constructed_url = endpoint + path
params = {
'api-version': '3.0',
'from': 'en',
'to': ['fr', 'zu']
}
headers = {
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': key,
# location required if you're using a multi-service or regional (not global) resource.
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region': location,
'Content-type': 'application/json',
'X-ClientTraceId': str(uuid.uuid4())
}
# You can pass more than one object in body.
body = [{
'text': 'I would really like to drive your car around the block a few times!'
}]
request = requests.post(constructed_url, params=params, headers=headers, json=body)
response = request.json()
print(json.dumps(response, sort_keys=True, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4, separators=(',', ': ')))
Get the keys before going to part 2
Part 2: To add sentence dictionary. Use the custom translator services studio
https://language.cognitive.azure.com/home -> Check into this link
This will create a project where we can choose the language to convert and start the translation with sentence dictionary. By default, sentence dictionary is application in new language translation.

How to add a image to a Microsoft teams tab title

There is no way to add image with displayName in Teams Tab.
This is by design.

PowerApps Custom Connector: How to POST binary data in request body?

Using Postman to test an API, I'm able to select Body/binary then choose an image file stored locally. Postman inserts binary data somehow into the request and I get a favorable response:
When trying to build this as a Custom Connector in PowerApps, I can't find any info on what the schema for the Body of the request should be.
When I try to add a generic {"body": ""} body to the connector with a string type of binary, I receive this error:
Specified swagger has the following errors: 'Definition is not valid. Error: 'Error : paths/~1prebuilt~1analyze/post/parameters/2/schema/properties/body : A schema with type/format 'string/binary' can only be at the top level of a body or formData parameter. '
I was running into the same problem.
Body:
""
When you have clicked Import, go to the request -> body -> body and click the three dots -> Edit.
Under Body, it will say "key-body-output". Click the three dots and click Edit.
Change Type to String (if not already) and change Format to Binary. Change Is required to Yes.
Update the connector and you can now use the custom connector with PowerApps by using ImageX.Image for the body property for example.

uploading a file from iOS mobile application to SharePoint

I'm working on a SharePoint mobile solution where I'm using the web services exposed in server/_vti_bin/sitedata.asmx, server/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx and server/_vti_bin/copy.asmx.
I'm able to successfully fetch the list of sites, document libraries and files using the services defined in server/_vti_bin/sitedata.asmx.
Now I'm actually trying to upload an image file from Photo Albums available in iOS to SharePoint. For this, I tried using CopyIntoItems web service, where in I'm getting the following error response.
<CopyResult ErrorCode="DestinationInvalid" ErrorMessage="The Copy web service method must be called on the same domain that contains the destination url." DestinationUrl="http://xxxxserveripxxxxxx/Shared Documents/image1.png"/>
But came to know that this service is used only if the file to be uploaded is also from the same source(i.e., from sharepoint).
Is there any other way to upload a file available in iPhone to SharePoint.
Also tired addAttachment service defiend in server/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx but I'm unable to identify the input parameters which requires list name and list Item ID.
I'm trying to upload a file to Shared Documents, so I've List Name value which is the one in curly braces of Shared Documents but now what should be the List Item Id value?
These are the details I've with regard to "Shared Documents" document library.
{
AllowAnonymousAccess = false;
AnonymousViewListItems = false;
BaseTemplate = DocumentLibrary;
BaseType = DocumentLibrary;
DefaultViewUrl = "/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx";
Description = "Share a document with the team by adding it to this document library.";
InheritedSecurity = true;
InternalName = "{425F837A-F110-4876-98DE-C92902446935}";
LastModified = "2013-07-26 20:09:58Z";
ReadSecurity = 1;
Title = "Shared Documents";
},
So, I'm using the using InternalName value for listName tag.
What should be the value of listItemID?
Am I going in the right way or is there any other approach to upload a local file from mobile to SharePoint?
Thanks
Sudheer
Are you actually calling a URL or are you using the IP (you x'ed it out and said server IP)? If you don't have Alternate Access Mappings defined for the IP, uploads will fail but the GET requests will generally work ok.

Facebook UI call in ASP.NET MVC does not return the picture it should

Does anyone know why the picture attribute is not working in following Facebook UI call?
function postToWallUsingFBUi()
{
var data=
{
method: 'stream.publish',
message: "Posted using FB.ui and picture.",
display: 'iframe',
caption: "Caption",
name: "Name",
//ver 1 picture: 'http://www.somedomain.com/albums/s339/rockaja/fb-520.png',
//ver 2 picture: '#Url.Action("Action", "Controller", new { PageId = Model.PageTabId }, Request.Url.Scheme)',
picture: 'https://localhost/MyVirtualDirectory/Controller/Action/283659015078395',
link: "http://www.mydomain.com/", // Go here if user click the picture
description: "Description field",
actions: [{ name: 'action_links text!', link: 'http://www.mydomain.com' }]
}
FB.ui(data, onPostToWallCompleted);
}
As you can see the picture attribute uses a picture from localhost. If i paste this URL into the browsers's Address field, i get the picture as expected.
I also commented out other two versions:
version 1 is working properly as expected, but
version 2 is not working (this is an ASP.NET MVC call, but that fact does not affect the result).
May be it is due to the fact that i request a localhost-ed picture?!
I have never worked on FB API so take my suggestion with a pinch of salt.
Based on my understanding of how Facebook works, whatever pictures you share on user's wall go into FB's data store first and are always pulled from that store.
Here, The Facebook API may be downloading the picture from the URL you have provided and push it into it's own store before publishing it on user's walls. When you use a localhost url, then the call to download the picture would obviously fail.
There must be another version of the API where you should be able to send the picture content as byte array. If there is, then you can load the picture from disk yourself and send the byte array in the API
