Sitecore Social Connected 1.3.0 Add Account issue (fixed)

Image
While configuring the Sitecore Social Connected module ( v1.3.0 rev.121016) in a new installation, I bumped into the following problem. When I try to add a new network account, the wizard page that allows me to select the application is empty: After struggling for a while, I figured out that the form is not initializing well and noticed that the Back button is enabled. It turns out that the option to  "Always skip the first page of wizards" is interfering. You need to click the Back button and you're taken to the Welcome page:    Now you click Next and the form initializes correctly with the network selected and applications drop down loaded: Update Dec 4, 2012: The issue is fixed in Sitecore Social Connected 1.3.1 rev. 121129 released on Nov 29. The bullet states: A network account couldn't be created using the wizard if 'Always skip the first page of wizards' check box was selected (375796).

Nokia 6120 classic with Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3

DISCLAIMER: The information provided in this article is strictly for educational purposes! I cannot guarantee that the described files work for everybody. My Nokia 6120 classic has just regained its smartphone title in my eyes :) After installing iON BatteryTimer FREE v1.05 (which I recommend to everybody) from Ovi Store a month ago, today I managed to update the very limited Nokia Maps 2.0 software to Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.01 :) The sudden impulse to look again for an update of the Maps software, although several unsuccessful attempts to update it through Nokia Ovi Suite, came after reading the following discussion: http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Nokia-Maps-2-0-3-0-Install-Error-Nokia-6120-Navigator-DENY/td-p/462375 Someone has managed to update the program by changing the certificate with a self-signed and going around the limitation imposed on Nokia 6120 classic. The first step was to get the .sis file. I didn't want to bother hacking Ovi
