I am looking for a Wiki written on ASP.NET (preferably open source and free) similar to the one on http://wiki.asp.net/.
The main feature that I like on http://wiki.asp.net/ is a hierarchical table of contents - something which is totally absent in most Wikis - which are just collections of pages connected via hyperlinks, with no place where you can see the "sitemap" of the Wiki. What I need is a more structured Wiki, with pages organized like in a file system.
Does anyone know such Wiki?
Thank you.
Try ScrewTurn wiki it is very good and open source
http://www.screwturn.eu/MainPage.ashx
Check out Deki wiki:
developer.mindtouch.com/Deki
You can see the auto generated table of contents on the left hand side. There is also a link to a full page table of contents.
Open source and very feature rich, I've used it on a few projects. There is a paid version as well, but I've never tried it.

I am Waseem Ahmed. I really liked your documentation page (https://aframe.io/docs/1.3.0/introduction/#getting-started). Specifically the way all the documents arranged in the left hand side panel and ability to select any topic and move to the next document from footer link. Would you please let me know which documentation portal you are using for your documents? I would like to create similar documentation for my website. Thank you.
There's a github repo for their website. It's mentioned that they built the website using the Hexo framework.
This site is built using hexo. Site content is written in Markdown (and located in the src/ directory). Pull requests are welcome!
Although, you don't necessarily need to use Hexo. There are plenty of static site generators (SSGs) you can use to generate your documentation.
I need to present Word and PDF documents in a read-only preview, via an ASPX/HTML page to my internal users. In a related requirement, I need to present editable Word documents, via ab ASPX/HTML page, to parties outside of our network - effectively the public.
We cannot rely upon Word or Adobe-type PDF plugins being available on the destination PC.
Can anyone suggest a way to do this?
Edit - For clarity, the document/data would ideally stay on our own servers.
What about using Google Docs API? You could use either their word-like doc or a form to get the data you need, and then present that internally.
Not sure if this meets all of your requirements, or is an available option.
For our company, we have a few tools that utilize Google Docs. We upload data dynamically to them for specific needs.
Based on your requirements, maybe it's best to just write your own. I haven't created a Rich Text Editor. But it looks like there are quite a few tutorials online. Here is a basic tutorial for a rich text editor. It's using javascript, HTML, & CSS. If you prefer to not use js, then you may need to look for other tutorials.
This isn't the most glamorous solution, as it looks like the users view would be HTML. I'd think you could have it updating dynamically off to the side with an actual rich text view (similar to how Stack Overflow has theirs below an answer or question being written).
Update
Over the weekend I was exploring HTML5's contenteditable attribute, I came across an editor that builds off of that called Aloha Editor. It's a WYSIWYG type editor. But if that's something that you desire for your clients, than this would probably be a pretty simple integration. I have yet to use it, but it seems like it would be a great fit - if you decide to go the route of building your own editor.
You could use the Zoho API or, if you need to keep all data on your own servers and validated clients at all times, you could try the Aspose components.
If you're interested to provide documents in a view-only way then you can try GroupDocs as well: http://groupdocs.com/. They offer viewers for different file types which you can add to your website very easily: http://groupdocs.com/apps/viewer.
Since you need to keep data on your own server, aceoffix can be one of your alternative. It is a plugin installed on your own server and save all data on your server too.
I did lot of R & D to implement website internal search in asp.net.
I have found a good article in code project
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/SearchDotnet.aspx
It has some limitations
Search with special characters is not working.
Pdf and word documents are not searching.
Not able to high light the searched text.
If I am implementing this in master page then child title is not displayed in result page.
Requirement:
I need to implement search result should be like this http://www.google.com/search?q=internal+search+in+asp.net&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8
In description the search text must be highlighted.
Note: I need to implement this with coding not any 3rd party tool (I know lots of 3rd party website which do free hosting but they will post there adds and logo). Moreover i dont want to use any database for this internal searching
Please suggested and provide me some good links.
You could look at using Lucene.Net (http://lucene.apache.org/lucene.net/) to index your site. This is a tool but it is open source and requires you to do some of the work so I'm not sure if this meets your criteria or not.
For an example of how it works you can try searching on their site:)
Given your requirements there aren't too many options.
The only one I can think of is using Microsoft Indexing Service. Here is an example for using that to search a website in .net
https://web.archive.org/web/20211020134956/https://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/033005-1.aspx
If you have content in a database you could use Microsoft Full Text Indexing to create a search table and go from there.
I downloaded GraffitiCMS the other day(now open source and free), and like a lot of what I see, but what I really want to use it for, is to add CMS capabilities to an existing asp.net database/application.
Without getting bogged down with all the details of my app, can someone give me the basic 'approach' that should be taken to add custom content to Graffiti; content that won't be a 'post'?
I've seen for example, how to add custom-widgets to Graffiti - basically inherit from the widget class, compile your dll and plop it into the correct directory and it becomes part of the system. Is there a way to do something similar for the main content areas?
For simplicity sake, pretend I have a non-graffiti database with gig's of data that I want to display on the website using standard asp.net grid's and forms. I realize I could just go in and hack apart the source code to integrate my existing app, but that is likely not the correct approach.
Not looking for a complete solution her, just a pointer and what areas to investigate...thanks.
If you check out the latest source of Graffiti (or the 1.3 branch that was recently created), support was added to put widgets anywhere you want on any page. There is a new chalk function - $macros.Widget - that provides you with this ability. Dan Hounshell wrote a blog post on how you can use this new functionality:
http://danhounshell.com/blog/graffiti-cms-1-3-add-a-widget-anywhere-in-a-view-with-new-widget-macro/
If you're looking for something different than that, just let me know - we're working to make Graffiti even better for situations just like you are currently in.
What we have done to be able to integrate Graffiti CMS with our current ASP.NET projects is to create a post in Graffiti called "hidden" and then with our standard .ASPX pages we call a class in our Render Override that pulls the "hidden" post (ie: site.com/hidden/) and uses the header and footer to wrap the Graffiti theme around our custom .ASPX page. We use some HTML comments in the "hidden" post to be able to parse the header and the footer. It is kind of a hack, but has worked out really well for us.
I think you're trying to put the cart before the horse - depending on the size and amount of functionality, I would be looking to rebuild it after learning the development platform of my CMS system of choice.
I'm pretty much in the same boat right now. I have avoided Graffiti because I have to learn "Chalk" (whatever that is) and Umbraco (using XSLT for layouts is retarded). So far, this leaves me with Sitefinity at the top of my list and Telerik have just pulled the free version!
I may end up grabbing a very basic CMS which is easier to customize. I know this doesn't directly answer your question, but it may give you some food for thought :-)
I would like to use an asp.net based wiki. However it needs to have the capability where when a user creates or edits a page, certain information needs to be in the page and be in the same section (fixed) of the page.
For example if I want to use a wiki to create a restaurants review site, I want the name of the restaurant, address, hours of operations be entered and they always show up in the same place in the page so all the pages have a standard look.
Is there such a wiki software that can handle this? The wiki needs to be open source so I can make modifications (hopefully not much)
I know ScrewTurn is popular. Can it handle my needs?
(don't just list a few asp.net wiki's without picking one which accomplishes what I want)
If you don't want to use Screwturn, I think that you could use Phlanger to run Mediawiki under ASP.net. It is open source, and it is easy to customize the pages to have a standard look.
