I'd like a more capable search for my website. My current search is unable to ignore spelling mistakes and since our site is a multi lingual we really need this capability. Google has a great way of doing this.
I'm aware of the Google custom search, how do I install this to drupal without installing a module?
Thanks in advance!
Here is the documentation for how to add GCS to your web site by pasting some code into your template (or a block or node)
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/element.
I did this method on http://www.greens.org.nz/ so see that web site for a working example.

I have a WordPress site, and I teach python on it and I want to share some code on it. I want a code editor that users can see my code and run it.
Please if you know any plugin that can do this help me.
I really do not think that there is such kind of a plugin available as of now. However, you can always search for such a plugin inside the official WordPress plugin repository.
Still, my recommendation would be to consider building your custom website ( not based on WordPress at all ) in order to achieve that using a different application or framework that has already developed a tool for that purpose.
So I am trying to customize my already running website via custom code
for better user experience etc.
I see a lot of people developing for WordPress via the code editor
and I simply can't find any information on how I can access my website
via a code editor and customize it with customer HTML, CSS, and javascript (or react.js)
and of course, PHP if necessary.
Could anyone please help me where I can find that information?
I would be very grateful!
Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I go to CPanel on my host and open File Manager. Scroll down to the public_html folder and the web site below that. Select a PHP file and click Edit. Beware, though, that updating the theme will wipe out any changes when taking this approach.
I am trying to use the wordpress API to retrieve recent blog posts from a wordpress blog, and display them on a non-wordpress site.
I have read a bunch of tutorials and the documentation on implementing the API, all of which state that you must install wordpress on your server in order to use the API.
Is this definitely the only use case? Is there an implementation I can use which does not require us to install wordpress on the server?
All I want to do is retrieve recent posts and display them in a list which will link out to the actual wordpress blog.
The folks commenting are confused by your statement, because they all assume (as highly technical individuals do), you're referring to a self-hosted WordPress.
No. You do NOT have to have a WordPress install to use the WordPress**.COM** API.
Example:
https://public-api.wordpress.com/wp/v2
Documentation:
https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/
Good luck!
Can anyone recommend an xml rpc library or client for wordpress using java?
I've run into migration hell moving a joomla install to wordpress.
Main reason for wanting to use rpc now is because i will be using it as my primary way of posting to the blog so i'm putting a simple client together and it needs to be configurable enough to allow me to port my joomla posts.
Some posts in future will just be reports generated from a java program as well so, its kinda essential i get something now if possible.
BTW if anyone understands the current wordpress table structure and can advise on how to do direct mysql inserts then i'm open to that too.
thanks in advance.
Have a look at http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-java , I've just added a few features.
I've just posted this link on a different WordPress question:
Database Description from WordPress Codex. That will help you understand WordPress' table structure.
Your project sounds pretty interesting. A quick google search shows some info on Java and XML-RPC: 1, 2 (javax.xml.rpc ).
Second link belongs to Apache XML-RPC, probably a good option for your project.
Relatively simple question, but I can't find the answer: How can I edit static pages (or posts) with my own editor instead of using WordPress? I'm not asking about the details of how to FTP, but instead where can I actually find the pages I created using WordPress in the WordPress directory?
Thanks.
The content of the pages you create are stored in the mySQL database rather than as static files so you cannot just see them if you look through the directory. The software reads out the data from the db when requested and renders it according to various settings.
As for editing your wordpress pages/entries using an external editor, wordpress supports an XML RPC interface which can be used to communicate with it. For an example of an emacs extension to edit WP articles, check out http://www.tolchz.net/2008/01/06/posting-to-wordpress-with-emacs-webloggerel/. I'm sure many other editors have this facility as well (including, I'm led to believe, Microsoft Word).
Finally, if you want to use the web interface but use your own editor for the textboxes where you edit pages/articles, check out the it's all text plugin for Firefox.
Windows Live Writer is an excellent editor for this purpose. The latest version (2011) surprisingly better than the first, which was already more than I expected for a freebie, and a small project team.
Make sure you avoid all the extra "Live" options and just leave the Writer checked for install. And in WP admin settings, enable XML RPC.
wp generates dynamic pages - that means the pages only exist the moment they are requested. You would first need to "statify" them - simply downlowding would do, but there's also plugins that can do this.. Usually needed for optimizing speed/cache
Looking for "wordpress static pages plugin" might help..
PS: this would do the job of making wp 'static'
