I was wonder if anyone can help me with this. I've been looking everywhere for this information, but I want to make a web application using dascode rss. I know that you can't link external sources. Does anyone know a way I can get around it. From what I understand a little php can get around this, but I'm unsure where to look.
OK, first thing no PHP. Dashcode is limited to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Although having said that there are a whole range of system calls that cna be made using the functionality provided by various parts of the x-cde system.
Second yes you can link to external sources such as other web sites, api on say Twitter, google etc. RSS feeds and so on, not sure where you got the idea to the contrary.
If you want to learn how to do a Dashcode RSS then open up Dashcode, start a new project, either web based or Dsashboard based and choose the RSS project. This will give you an out of the box template to add you own information and then see how it works. Then customise it.
In the above i am assuming Snow Leopard and the latest Dashcode/X-code but it will still gove you most of what you want on earlier version.

I am looking for the ability to enhance the appearance of the directory listing pages of a very basic corporate intranet I developed for use by our employees. I am using Windows Server 2012 R2, and the site is deployed in Internet Information Services.
I did not use anything like Visual Studio to create this, and I have already handwritten all of the CSS and HTML for the index page that serves as a jump-off point for the rest of the site so that users can get to the content they need; however, the directory listings pages where the users land leave quite a bit to be desired to say the least.
I just want to be able to add some quick styles to these directories, such as modifying the font family and perhaps the link styles. Nothing major, really. The site already functions perfectly for what it was designed to do, and has been for years. This is just something that's always kind of bugged me but I never devoted any time to it. I'd like to do that now. Ideally I'd be able to just add something in the web.config file like inline CSS, or perhaps link it to a .css file that will house the styles. The latter is probably preferred, actually, but any way is fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated. To get this out of the way early: yes, I have done lots and lots and lots of searching on this topic — I'm talking hours. I have not been able to find a solution that seems to meet my needs. I consider posting here as somewhat of a last resort because I understand that it's a free resource and users here are usually quick to let other users know when they didn't find a particular article that seems to offer the solution they're seeking — which is usually a result of not knowing exactly what keywords to use — and I don't want to waste anyone's time. Just know that I have tried everything I know to find the solution, and that I'm genuinely stumped and looking for help from some pros.
Thank you!
Since the directory page is not HTML, you can't directly style it with CSS. However, there are a few options for changing the way it looks.
Write a script to point to your own, custom-styled, directory page. See this forum thread for tips on how to do that and a sample script.
Create a custom page using this module that you can further customize yourself.
Use the DirectoryListing open source app, which allows for customization of the directory page.
Either one of those solutions should give you more control over how the directory page looks.
I need to make a website for my hockey club. My main purpose for this site is allowing people to sign in and post articles and training schedules in their section. Eg Mens, Womens, Juniors and Masters. I want to have some kind of upload manager that will allow them to choose where they post the info too (eg, Mens, Masters and Homepage).
This is the main functionality I'm looking for at the moment.
The clubs previous website used Joombla which I have hated. I found it to be way to restrictive. Its on a old version of it so there are probably many improvements in the new version but from what I've read it seems like it still has a lot of restrictions in how content is managed. I am open to trying it again tho.
I've used Wordpress before and liked it but that was on a small scale projects and I'm not sure it really fits what I'll be trying to do here, since it mostly deals with blog posts and I'll need to have functionality to upload and display files.
I've had a look around at some other ones like Squarespace and Silverstripe. I'm really liking the simplicity of silverstrip(one thing I hate about Joombla is the clutter on the opening page) and am leaning towards it right now if I can find a nice way to have people post news to multiple pages at once.
If anyone has any suggestions they'd be very welcome. I know html, css, javascript and a bit of php. I'm learning Ruby atm so wouldn't be against using it so I could learn more but it might be a bit much for a sports website.
First off, its nice to see someone that likes hockey too :) You can't use Squarespace, you'll need an Apache server for what you want. You will need some way to store information, so you'll need a MySQL database, probably some advanced knowledge of PHP (I'm assuming you don't know how to connect to databases and do some other functions). Wordpress is too limited, so you can't use that. I have never used Silverstripe personally, but it seems like the best of your options here. You'll probably need some more knowledge of PHP before you attempt to make a members system.
I am interested to implement Facebook way of link sharing feature in my web application. In FB when we paste a link it shows the content of link as thumbnail,few text etc.
How can I do that?
I know its Open Graph Protocol but how to implement it in my web application(based on spring MVC)?
What are the technology needed for this? I am a java,jquery guy.
Is it necessary to use facebook for this?
Open Graph isn't a library or a script you can use to build an application that is capable of doing what you want. Open Graph is a Protocol that follows a set of rules that provide a convinient scheme of building social applications.
By doing so, it's made sure that there is a standarized way to work with that data.
So the short answer: OG does not provide such a functionality, you have to build it by yourself (though there are pretty good links and scripts that make your life much easier: http://ogp.me/ scroll to the very bottom). Instead by using OG, you make sure that every application that works with OG (facebook and google to name a few examples) can work with your data properly.
It might not be the answer you searched for, but I think it should give you a little information on what OG really is.
The function of the plugin is to print the page contents as a PDF.
I can find a bunch that connect to an external service in a popup to generate the PDF, but I can't seem to find one that produces the PDF on the server where the PDF needs to be generated.
The reason I don't want to use these external services is because of branding, and because most of them have advertising. If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't mind using these plugins either.
I'm OK with paying money if the plugin is good enough.
P.S. On an unrelated note, Wordpress' plugin search sucks :( I can't filter by version number, compatibility, etc.
I've found this http://www.investintech.com/resources/blog/archives/167-top-10-handy-wordpress-pdf-plugins.html
Should help you find what you need.
I already tried Print Friendly, and I think it could work in your situation.
I am trying to integrate one of my websites with facebook connect.
I have developed the code and it works as expected.
I want to integrate the code into a wordpress page utilizing the php-exec plugin to parse php.
When i do as can be seen at gua.com/testing it simply does not work. Seemingly the session etc is registered but it simply displays the connect box again..
Any ideas?
Thanks
Does your code use global variables? Php-exec works using eval() and eval() has different rules for globals.
But I've got more ideas...
There are a few different versions of the facebook connect api, but all of the ones I've used used also required a lump of javascript to be included in the site, I don't see that on your page. Make sure it isn't needed.
If that's not the problem, try including the facebook lib in wp-config.php, then call it from php-exec. I'm not really sure if that'll work or not but it's worth a shot.
