I wanted to know, I have a SaaS(Software-as-a-service) product that is open source... I dont distribute the source code to anyone.
Can i use google code and create a new project for this software. I want to use the Bug Tracker functionality.
I want to use Google Code without distributing the source code of my software to any one.
Per http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/FAQ#Hosting_Your_Open_Source_Project_on_Google_Code
As long is it's open source and you're in a country where google conducts business--you're in luck.

I'm familiar with VBA and C++, but not with Java. Now wanting to delve into Office Scripts.
However, I want to know if I can achieve the same as in VBA:
I am logging into niche websites and fetching data in tables using VBA Internet Controls (getElementByID()), etc.
As far as I know, these niche websites do not have an API, as the sample scenario of webscraping on the Microsoft website does:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/scripts/resources/scenarios/noaa-data-fetch
I would like to know if I can log onto these websites, and then fetch information using HTML (getElementByID()) or similar?
I am just unsure if I can use Office Scripts directly, or if I require to include some library or something.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Currently, there is no way to do this through Office Scripts alone. The fetch command and REST APIs are the only ways to get data in a script directly from webservices. If you'd like to request the addition of a specific library, please use the Send feedback button in the Office Scripts Code Editor.
The discussion in the comments about using Power Automate is a reasonable path to pursue. The linked video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O9eEotCT0U) is a good place to start.
I have searched the internet for 2 days having found no answer to the below requirement. What i found most were GeckoFX and CefSharp which are external packages and not installed libraries. How can this be done?
I have been asked to do the following:
Use a suitable library function out of the set of libraries installed with the .NET platform. You must not use the C# WebBrowser class but perform the required HTTP-level communication directly from within your code. The code must clearly identify the HTTP-level client-server communication and must explicitly manage Home page, Favourite, History Lists and Tabs.
Optionally, you may add functionality to render a web page, but there must be an option to disable this functionality and to show only the raw HTML that has been retrieved.
Thanks
What have you attempted so far and what problem are you encountering?
Maybe read this first :)
Currently it sounds like you have been given an interview or homework task that you dont know how to solve. If so, then you should have some idea on where to start or you are in the wrong course or job interview. If you want help, then try to solve the question yourself and ask for help when you are stuck. Tell us what you have tried, show the code you currently have and let us know where you are stuck or what doesnt work as expected.
Where are you stuck? Fetching the webpage? Building the user interface?
Does anyone know a web crawler tool for collecting contact details from a website? Say I have a www.website/contact.. I want to pull out the address, phone number, etc.. There are 2 tools I've been looking at: cralwer4j opensource jar for java and Scrapy opensource in Python. But I am finding it a bit hard to use for my scenario.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
You might google for "simple web crawler" to find a solution that fits you best. In the net there are plenty "pure python" based web crawlers. Based on sceleton code you add db wrap up. I think the most problem would be db setting and saving data in it.
What if there are 1000000s of websites to crawl.. Is there a way to crawl all websites in my are?
No problem for scripting. Just put millions addresses in a file (or files), open it for reading in python or other script. Then get link by link from it and crawl/scrape to your pleasure. Result you might also want to save in file (csv, json).
I'd also recommend you a ready simple python crawler.
I need to build a website that can be downloaded to a CD.
I'd like to use some CMS (wordpress,Kentico, MojoPortal) to setup my site, and then download it to a cd.
There are many program that know how to download a website to a local drive, but how to make the search work is beyond my understanding.
Any idea???
The project is supposed to be an index of Local community services, for communities without proper internet connection.
If you need to make something that can be viewed from a CD, the best approach is to use only HTML.
WordPress, for example, needs Apache and MySQL to run. And although somebody can "install" the website on his own computer if you supply the content via a CD, most of your users will not be knowledgeable enough to do this task.
Assuming you are just after the content of the site .. in general you should be able to find a tool to "crawl" or mirror most sites and create an offline version that can be burned on a CD (for example, using wget).
This will not produce offline versions of application functionality like search or login, so you would need to design your site with those limitations in mind.
For example:
Make sure your site can be fully navigated without JavaScript (most "crawl" tools will discover pages by following links in the html and will have limited or no JavaScript support).
Include some pages which are directory listings of resources on the site (rather than relying on a search).
Possibly implement your search using a client-side technology like JavaScript that would work offline as well.
Use relative html links for images/javascript, and between pages. The tool you use to create the offline version of the site should ideally be able to rewrite/correct internal links for the site, but it would be best to minimise any need to do so.
Another approach you could consider is distributing using a clientside wiki format, such as TiddlyWiki.
Blurb from the TiddlyWiki site:
TiddlyWiki allows anyone to create personal SelfContained hypertext
documents that can be published to a WebServer, sent by email,
stored in a DropBox or kept on a USB thumb drive to make a WikiOnAStick.
I think you need to clarify what you would like be downloaded to the CD. As Stennie said, you could download the content and anything else you would need to create the site either with a "crawler" or TiddlyWiki, but otherwise I think what you're wanting to develop is actually an application, in which case you would need to do more development than what standard CMS packages would provide. I'm not happy to, but would suggest you look into something like the SalesForce platform. Its a cloud based platform that may facilitate what you're really working towards.
You could create the working CMS on a small web/db server image using VirtualBox and put the virtual disk in a downloadable place. The end user would need the VirtualBox client (free!) and the downloaded virtual disk, but you could configure it to run with minimal effort for the creation, deployment and running phases.
I have a private project, and i want it hosted on google code. this project is just for project members. How to enable browsing and submitting SVN code only for project members? I don't want other people to be able to do this.
How to disable public access to the source code in Google Code?
There are no read restrictions on Google Code, so there's no way to create a project that's completely private.
If you want a private code repository, I recommend you check this question:
Free version control server provider for non-public projects
You can't...
We only intend to host projects that
are open source software projects,
documentation projects directly
related to open source software
development, and projects for the
development and maintenance of open
standards.

I think you can't.
Projects hosted at googleCode must be public!
Check FAQ
You can't, but you can hide some tabs
There are of course alternatives to Google Code. BitBucket has free hosting and allows private repositories for free. There are some limits, but for a reasonably small project with few team members you might be OK.
It's currently not possible.
However, there are currently 1663 stars on this feature request. Since this is a feature that you want, you should go along and star it too.
The more stars the feature request gets, the higher the priority it gets. (Well, at least that's to be expected.)
