We have started exploring SiteEdit. We could enable and use it for html pages but can anybody guide us whether we can use it if content is published as XML Document. We have tried doing this but the SiteEdit button is not appearing on the published XML page when accessed through the SiteEdit proxy (on port 84).
SiteEdit allows you to edit your content in the HTML of your web site. So if you render the content into (valid) HTML and add the correct SiteEdit commands to that HTML, you can edit it.
SiteEdit will not enable editing of raw XML you publish. Normally I'd expect to find that same content as HTML somewhere else on the web site and enable SiteEdit there.
If you really think there is value in editing the content in an XML-like view, I suggest finding an XSLT that converts the XML to an HTML view (like Internet Explorer shows it) and add that as a Dynamic Component Template to Tridion. If you then embed the necessary SiteEdit commands into that HTML, you can edit the result in SiteEdit. It will of course have become HTML, but it will still look like you are editing the original XML.

I am using ckeditor in a drupal 7 site. I want to put iframe tag inside the editor.
Currently what happen when we put iframe in ckeditor.
<iframe src="http://www.lipsum.com/"></iframe>
It convert that iframe tag with a img tag with some special attribute and URL.
<img class="cke_iframe" data-cke-realelement="%3Ciframe%20src%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lipsum.com%2F%22%20class%3D%22placeholder-tool%20helpTool-placeholder%22%20scrolling%3D%22no%22%20frameborder%3D%220%22%3E%3C%2Fiframe%3E" data-cke-real-node-type="1" alt="IFrame" title="IFrame" align="" src="http://testsite.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/images/spacer.gif?t=C9A85WF" data-cke-real-element-type="iframe" data-cke-resizable="true">
Which I do not want. I want to make the ckeditor to print exact iframe tag there not the img tag like this.
<iframe src="http://www.lipsum.com/"></iframe>
So that If I want to perform a task in iframe so I can do that inside the editor.
Thank you in advance
Addition 2:
I need the iframe should work in editor itself. It should not convert iframe to img on node add or edit page also.
It should like this
Not like this
Finally, I have to make one line change in ckeditor.js at line number 8194:
return m.createFakeParserElement(p, 'cke_iframe', 'iframe', true);
To
return p;
So it is not creating FakeParser for iframe. And when I put a iframe in edit mode so I see the iframe exactly not the image in place of that.
It is a little hack I used for this functionality.
Thank you Darko for help on this.
Problem solution:
In current newest release of CKEditor (4.5.8) there is a minified file ckeditor.js. In order to have iframe enabled in edit mode you will have to change next line in that file:
return a.createFakeParserElement(b,"cke_iframe","iframe",!0)
into:
return (b)
Due to security reasons that option is by default disabled and this is the way how you can override it.
That is solution for this particular problem. Below are some of possible problem solutions if you have problems with iframe in CKEditor in drupal 7.
Addition:
Go on:
admin/config/content/formats/filtered_html (assuming you use that text format) and add <iframe> in Filter settings (in Allowed HTML tags).
When you post iframe in ckeditor now make sure you don't post it inside any other tag.
ex.:
<p some text <iframe src="http://www.lipsum.com/"></iframe> <br> </p>
that will not work.
<p>some text </p> <iframe src="http://www.lipsum.com/"></iframe>
that will work
Best way is to go on "source" mode in ckeditor and insert iframe there on place you want.
Addition 2:
From your comments i assume you trying all this on online ckeditor? You can't see final result there (node page view) because there is showed only edit view (which is temporary).
Ckeditor converts all your content based on settings (not just basic settings in texts format). For instance ckeditor converts some HTML reserved characters in they entity names or entity numbers because ckeditor itself using HTML to show you preview in edit mode.
ex:
<iframe src="http://www.lipsum.com/"></iframe>
is converted in:
<p><iframe src="http://www.lipsum.com/"></iframe></p>
You can see there that "<" is converted in "<" and ">" is converted in >. Browser need "< >" in source to properly load iframe. So solution is to using "source" option in ckeditor.
So i will repeat once more. Enter text, pictures and all content you need in ckeditor edit mode. When you want to add iframe you go on source mode and put it in content (in that way ckeditor will not convert HTML reserved characters, or maybe some else in your url).
Of course you can edit your iframe there and format size, border, scrolling etc...After saving your content you should see iframe properly loaded. In your case:
Addition 3:
Due to security reasons, to prevent users from breaking site layout and/or to avoid posting invalid HTML that possibility is disabled (like iframe working inside editor). If you are so determent to achieve that you can always go with old modules because in new ones that doesn't work.
In new library there is an option you can try:
admin/config/content/ckeditor
There you can edit Full profile and under ADVANCED CONTENT FILTER you can try disable Advanced content filter. Flush the cache after that. If that not working go with old modules.
Go disable module ckeditor
Install wysiwyg
Install old ckeditor library (just copy old library in /sites/all/libraries )
You need CKEditor 3.3.1 and older
Go on admin/config/content/wysiwyg and select that library
When you do this you should considering all the risks. Hope this post will be helpful for someone else too. Cheers.
In Dreamweaver Templating we can access the fields of a component in two ways.
1.##Component.Field.FieldName##
2.##RenderComponentField("FieldName",0)##
similarly to access the Component Presentation
1.RenderComponentPresentation()
Is there way to access it in another way.
You should really consider editing your question and clarifying it a
bit to make it more clear of what you are asking. Reading all the
answers you dismiss and their comments, I think what you are trying to
accomplish is to have some Component Presentations on the Page editable
and others not.
Depending on the version of SiteEdit you are using there are two solutions:
SiteEdit 2009 SP3 - You should remove the inline editing TBB from the Component Template which you do not want editable, the Page will still generate a hover-over the Component Presentation so it can be moved.
UI 2012 (the new UI or Experience Manager) - You can disable inline editing per Component Template, through the checkbox in the Component Template.
If you also need to have the hover-over on the Component Presentations removed, then I think the only solution is to remove the Inline Editing features of the Page Template (for SE 2009 SP3, remove the TBB and for UI 2012 disable it on the Page Template) and generate all the required SiteEdit marking yourself in the Page Template.
An interesting question to all this would be "why?", what is your requirement exactly to have the need for only enabling inline editing on some of the content on the Page. Since you could also accomplish that through (editing) permissions for certain user groups.
The default TBBs that ship with Tridion, SiteEdit 2009 and the new UI/Experience Manager all insist on generating markup around Component Presentations and Component Fields. You can control the markup elements they generate, but there is currently no way to turn them off.
To gain such full control, I created a simple extension function for use in DWT templates. You can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/tridion-practice/wiki/TridionUI2012FunctionsForUseInHtmlTemplates
RenderComponentPresentation would be from the Page Template, and the first examples are from the Component Template, or within e.g. a repeating region:
<!-- TemplateBeginRepeat name="Components" -->
Fields.*FieldName*
<!-- TemplateEndRepeat -->
But either way, why are you asking?
You can also call RenderComponentPresentation from within another Component Template, using this code:
##RenderComponentPresentation(Component.ID, ComponentTemplate.ID)##
Where the arguments are the tcm ids of the component you wish to render, and the template to render it with.
For dynamic component presentations you can use the following in a page template:
<tcdl:ComponentPresentation type="Dynamic" componentURI="${ComponentID}" templateURI="${DynamicComponentTemplateID}" />
But in this case these dynamic component presentations won't be published during the publishing page. So, you should publish them before publishing page.
My page is showing regular component presentations very well.
I have a flash/video file in my local machine and i want to upload this file on my page.
How can I achieve this?
I have this code snippet for rendering components on my page:
<!-- TemplateBeginRepeat name="Components" -->
<!-- TemplateBeginIf cond="ComponentTemplate == 'HomePageCT'" -->
##RenderComponentPresentation()##
<!-- TemplateEndIf -->
<!-- TemplateEndRepeat -->
Please provide all details related to flash files and video files.
Placing a Flash file on a page follows exactly the same process as placing any image in the output of your templates. The steps are outlined below:
Create a Multimedia Schema which allows the Flash multimedia type (e.g. Flash Video Schema)
Upload your Flash file using your new Schema
Create a Component Template to render the HTML you want to use to display the Flash file, and actually publish the binary itself. (e.g. Display Flash CT)
Create a page template (you seem to have done this part) which renders the Page, and renders the Components on the page using ##RenderComponentPresentation()##
Create a Page, and place your Flash file on it using the Display Flash CT
Publish the Page
Without details of the output you want to produce, it is hard to provide the sample Dreamweaver Template Building Block code for the DisplayFlash CT, but it might look something like this:
<embed src="##Component.Id##" allowFullScreen="true" width="540"
height="438" bgcolor="#000000" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
Make sure you use the Default Finish Actions TBB after this in your Component Template so that the src link is processed and the binary is published.
There is nothing special about Flash files with Tridion. They can be treated just like any other Multimedia Component. You can upload them into the CME (or by using Webdav) and thus you will have a Multimedia Component. Make sure of course, that you Multimedia Schema allows the Flash (and extension) as Multimedia Type.
Regarding how you put the Flash file on the Page - again just like a normal Multimedia Component. In your CT you have to generate the output that will make use of your Flash file URL somewhere. You will have to publish your Flash MMC in order to get its URL. You can use Engine.AddBinary or RenderedItem.AddBinary methods for that, or use the Publish Binaries in Package Default TBB, if your MMC is in the package. Then you can simply refer to your Flash URL as package item. Have a look at this URLs for some inspiration: http://yatb.mitza.net/2012/03/publishing-images-as-variants.html (your case doesn't have to be that complex) and http://yatb.mitza.net/2012/04/referencing-image-variants-from.html.
There are several approaches to rendering Multimedia with a Tridion-managed page.
Multimedia components can be:
Part of a component presentation, added to a page with a template selected
As a linked-to multimedia component within a "container" component, which is added to a page
In a rich text format (RTF) area within another component
You could also just publish binaries with dynamic component templates and handle the markup and links outside of Tridion. Get creative with the above basic scenarios depending on the markup and/or metadata you need.
Chris addresses #1 and Mihai explains schema setup and .AddBinary. The second option would be similar, except you'd have to get the referenced ID rather than the component on the page. The third option requires you to parse multimedia within RTF which depends on your templating language and multimedia type.
I've seen XSLT (<xsl:template match="">), grep, and various .replace options to parse specific markup such as Flash videos.
So far all the XML / XSLT I've worked with takes an XML document and transforms it to a standalone HTML webpage using an XSLT file.
In my web application, I'm using a web service to retrieve the XML document, which I need to render and make human-readable, and then insert that formatted content into a content placeholder in my master page.
The easiest way would be to append the XSLT to the retrieved XML file and link that to the content placeholder, but something tells me I can't just do that.
I took a look at these Stack Overflow pages, but they just want to render the straight XML whereas I want a transformed XML. Also, I need to be able to put it into my master page template.

I hope any of Oracle Portal experts here could help me out regarding this question.
I have a portal template/page that is using a HTML Page Skin. The skin may looks like:
<html>
<head>
<title>#TITLE#</title>
</head>
<body>
#BODY#
</body>
</html>
By using Oracle Portal, I could add portlets (PL/SQL and Java portlet) to the body section, in its respective template/page. However there is no way that I am aware of that could enable me to add portlets to other section in the HTML Skin, eg in section.
I need to dynamically change the title with some value that I get from the page URL and query string.
eg. if the page's url is http://www.example.com/portal/page/portal/examplepagegroup/page1?param1=paramvalue
so that the title will be 'param1', and it should be done without javascript technique.
How could I get the request parameter param1 from the URL so that it will be available to the head section? I am thinking of PL/SQL code to be used here, but, I do not how to access query string of current page.
Please comment here if clarification to the question is needed. Thanks.
The page title is a static attribute of the Portal page. There is no supported way for a portlet to change the page title dynamically at runtime. The rendering engine combines the HTML from each portlet with some HTML it builds itself, and the title is part of what the renderer builds.
What is possible is to dynamically build pages with specific names by calling WWSBR_API.ADD_FOLDER (a folder is the same as a page). See So your portlet could build a page and then redirect to it.
