EPub viewer for Flex - apache-flex

Does any such control exist out of the box for Flex?
I see people say things like "EPUB is just a zip file of XML and HTML files, so it shouldn't be too hard"... yeah, I get that... but if such a control exists, I wouldn't have to write it.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

Check out the walflower project, it needs updating to the new TLF though.

How to search the specific text from the files in Magnolia?

I am not able to search the text directly from the Search Box of Magnolia Admin-central.
For Example I need to search specific style(class names.. etc) from the css files which are available in App STK/Resources/Themes/css. How can we do it directly?
Magnolia Version :5.3.9.
Is it available for Latest versions of Magnolia?
Thanks,
Vijay Kodali.
Seems to work just fine for me. ("textColor" is inside of the using-freemarker.css file) Double check that you don't have any error in the logs or that your index is not corrupted. AFAIK you can search only for whole words not partial text.
HTH,

Meteor markdown editor with embedded images / files

I want to be able to insert a file or image into a post written in markdown. I have a decent idea of how to do this using collectionFS and inserting the appropriate markdown text, but I was hoping that someone else has done this in a convenient smart-package.
Do any of these do what you're looking for?

I'm with you. I want to know if there's already something out there.
I've ended up implementing something I need only to find out there's already a smart package in atmosphere that does it better too many times! lol
It's possible to reference images stored directly in your server. Place any images you want in the Public folder of your Meteor project. Even better Public/Images.
In your page, reference these images without the Public directory, e.g. <img src="/Images/pic1.png">

Modyfy .doc file in ASP.NET

I'm trying to find any code working in the ASP.NET project that would be able to read, change the font, save the DOC file. Does anyone know any code to modify a DOC file format ?
You need a 3rd party control for that, like Aspose.Words. Without a control you would need to use server-side Office automation which is highly not recommended.

seam-gen and flex

I have integrated seam and flex with FlamingoDS
I got html file from mxml file and I stored it in WebContent folder it's fine
then I want to create link named as 'Plan' in menu.xhtml
My aim is to get that html file when i clicked on this button I don't know what to do for that
so, I have created some test.xhtml in that top element is the
for the template attribute this element I have given the template.html
and I used
then for 'Plan' link I gave the view="/test.xhtml"
It's fine when I clicked on that link I am getting the test.seam file which includes our html file but this html file is coming in some fixed area with scroll bars only eventhough there is a lot of space to fit
Please help...... me
First of all, it is very difficult to read your post. Please format it more readable.
Secondly, we can only guess what's wrong when we cannot see any code. But my hunch is that you are using s:decorate that includes some formating you are not aware of. This comes in standard seam-gen. Try removing that s:decorate stuff or point to another style you wish to use.

How can I modify a CSS file programmatically?

I have a legacy application that I needed to implement a configuration page for to change text colors, fonts, etc.
This applications output is also replicated with a PHP web application, where the fonts, colors, etc. are configured in a style sheet.
I've not worked with CSS previously.
Is there a programatic way to modify the CSS and save it without resorting to string parsing or regex?
The application is VB6, but I could write a .net tool that would do the css manipulation if that was the only way.
You don't need to edit the existing one. You could have a new one that overrides the other -- you include this one after the other in your HTML. That's what the "Cascading" means.
It looks like someone's already done a VB.NET CSS parser which is F/OSS, so you could probably adapt it to your needs if you're comfortable with the license.
http://vbcssparser.sourceforge.net/
One hack is to create a PHP script that all output is passed through, which then replaces certain parts of CSS with configurable alternatives. If you use .htaccess you can make all output go through the script.
the best way i can think of solving this problem is creating an application that will get some values ( through the URL query ) and generate the appropriate css output based on a css templates
Check this out, it uses ASP.NET and C#.
In my work with the IE control (shadocvw.dll), it has an interesting ability to let you easily manage the CSS of a page and show the effects of modified CSS on a page in realtime. I've never dealt with the details of such implementations myself, but I recommend that as a possible solution worth looking at. Seeing as pretty much everyone is on IE 6 or later nowadays, you can skip the explanations about handling those who only have IE 5,4,3 or 2 installed.
Maybe the problem's solution, which is most simple for the programmer and a user is to edit css via html form, maybe. I suppose, to create css-file, which would be "default" or "standart" for this application, and just to read it, for example, by perl script, edit in html and to write it down. Here is just the simple example.
In css-file we have string like:
border-color: #008a77;
we have to to read this string, split it up, and send to a file, which will write it down. Get something like this in Perl:
tr/ / /s;
($vari, $value) = split(/:/, _$);
# # While you read file, you can just at the time to put this into html form
echo($vari.":<input type = text name = ".$vari." value = ".$value.">");
And here it is, you've got just simple html-form-data, you just shoul overwrite your css-file with new data like this:
...
print $vari[i].": ".$value.";\n";
...
and voila - you've got programmatical way of changing css. Ofcourse, you have to make it more universal, and more close to your particular problem.
Depending on how technically oriented your CSS editors are going to be, you could do it very simply by loading the whole thing up into a TextEdit field to let them edit it - then write it back to the file.
Parsing and creating an interface for all the possibilities of CSS would be an astronomical pain. :-)
