Im very new to kentico development wise and I'm trying to work to a design given to me.
I'm currently trying to tie up the smart search web part to show as a text input with a font awesome search icon as the button (with no button text). Is there any easy way to do this? Or should I resort to making a copy of the Smart search control and extending it out?
The html designed has just
<button type="submit"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
is there an easy way to put this into a new layout for Smart search?
Thank you Andrew
You could use a web part before and after to wrap web part code html and class wrapper and than apply the style to the button via CSS
In most of the cases, you could benefit from custom web part layout:
https://docs.kentico.com/k11/custom-development/developing-web-parts/using-custom-web-part-layouts
But smart search in this case does consist of two controls which are kinda buried inside so to insert this to control directly (CMSModules\SmartSearch\Controls\SearchDialog).
Solution 1: you can apply this by adding a custom layout for the smart search but I am not sure this will work
Solution 2: clone the web part and modify the Html as needed

I have created a webpage using Backbone.js and Marionette.js that mostly consists of a bootstrap accordion view that displays a list of items when the accordion header is clicked. Each item can also be clicked, which will show a hidden div of detailed information that pertains to that particular item.
I would like to make this site accessible to people who might not be using a mouse (Maybe they're visually impaired and using a screen reader? Maybe they just don't like clicking things? Either way.) I'm thinking that this would mean being able to press the Tab key to get to the accordion, pressing Space or Enter to open the accordion, Tabbing down (or down arrow key?) through the list items, and then using Space or Enter to show the selected item's hidden div.
I'm finding it difficult to find information on how to add a feature like this, since searches like "How to make an accessible website that can be used without a mouse" mostly turns up blogs on what a developer should do to add accessibility to a page, and not much on how to do it.
Currently, the page doesn't really respond to any keyboard buttons. Any tips or resources you could share would be extremely appreciated. I've been fiddling with ARIA role tags, but I'm either not doing it right or it's not the answer here.
You have to use tabindex

Screen readers automatically read whatever element is the activeElement
Iwould like to add a button at the end of a listView in the same way as the bing apps do (see picture for example).
I looked for hours in google and in the microsoft documentation but canøt find anything that can give me an idea of how to do this.
Did anyone achieved this?
thanks
If you run that app (Health & Fitness), then run Visual Studio and use Debug > Attach to Process, you can open the DOM Explorer and examine how that UI is implemented.
What you'll see in this case is that it's not using a ListView at all, but rather it's own custom control that's just based on a CSS grid. That is, just because there's a grid-like view doesn't mean it's a ListView. You can always use straight HTML/CSS layout to achieve these sorts of things, which is all that's happening here. As such, it just makes separate div's for those two "More" elements.
Now if you do want to use a ListView, there are a few things you can do. First of all, if you want to render any item in a ListView differently than others, you have to make sure to use a different template. What this means is that you use an item rendering function rather than a declarative template, which then enables you to examine the item data and programmatically decide what kind of rendering to perform.
Second, if you want to have items of different sizes, then you need to use cell spanning. In Windows 8.0/WinJS 1.0 this is a property of the GridLayout. In Windows 8.1/WinJS 2.0 you instead use the CellSpanningLayout.
I have all the details for both rending functions and cell spanning written up in Chapter 7 of my second edition preview of Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which is a free ebook from Microsoft Press so it doesn't cost you anything. :)
Is it possible to integrate CKEditor to SharePoint2010's EDIT ITEM or ADD ITEM page without using CKEditor for SharePoint?
If you want to replace the default editor with CKEditor, it is going to be hard. Remember that the default editor is integrated in the ribbon. If you want to use it for some reason in a webpart or on specific situations like in a page layout you can follow something along the lines of this:

I'm using the Domino 8.5.3 <xe:inputRichText> control for end-users to add web content. The control has the basic feature to add an image, but no "align" settings to float text around the image (ex. <img align="right"> ), which is so common with basic HTML.
One work-around tried is to use a 2-column table, which works, but not as well (especially, when re-sizing the window).
Any ideas for a work-around? Is there anything similar to 'Pass-thru HTML' in a inputRichText control?
Try to set toolbar style to large and then simply switch to HTML source (the last but one button) and change it whatever You like:

I am working on SharePoint Branding project, where i need to change the whole sharepoint look and feel according to Clients design guidelines/Visual Designs.
happy part, most of the branding is done but still i am facing problem with SEARCH BUTTON of sharepoint. Ia m not able to replace this default button with my designed button.
any direction ll be great help
What we did was replace the delegate control of the search button with our own, using a feature. In that feature we specified our custom image for the button.
This might help - http://labs.steveottenad.com/reskin-restyle-a-sharepoint-2010-search-box/
When we customised the search box we hide the default img for the search button using css and replaced it with a new background image.
You can't replace the default button with you own search button. You can however customize it to your needs using CSS styles. I have done the same thing. You can create your custom style to override the styles from the corev15.css file.
Create you custom styles css file, reference it in your page layout and just use it.
Hope that helps.
