Currently our content editors creates a flowchart in visio - and now we're trying to figure out the best way of allowing them to embed that in a kentico website.
We get them currently to export and add as a media library image which doesn't allow the content editor to hyperlink items in the flowchart to pages which could have more information.
Some other options we have considered:
exporting visio flowchart to pdf and displaying that pdf in the browser instead of the image.
third party tool that would host the flowchart content which we then embed into the kentico website using an iframe.
visio exporting the flowchart as html - but that includes a folder and various files which seems painful to integrate with our kentico website.
Just wondering if anyone else has any recommended approaches that we might not be considering?
Essentially there are many ways to solve this issue. You can go with a classic way (image with set of areas defined)
Use some online tools like http://www.image-maps.com/ to create an image map. You can use static text web part and paste your html there:
<img alt="someImage" src="~/Images/someimage.jpg" usemap="#ImageMap" />
<map name="ImageMap" id="ImageMap">
<area shape="rect" coords="727,25,907,89" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" alt="Your Alt Text Here..." />
<area shape="rect" coords="309,25,646,98" href="home.aspx" alt="Your Alt Text Here..." />
</map>
You can even clone for example editable image web part, adjust its properties to your needs (i.e. to area map property), but you still have to use outside tools to create an image map.

Using K12SP and its MVC model, I would like adding embedded YouTube videos in my views. I saw that in the CKEditor, there is a widget for doing so and it adds corresponding customized HTMl tags such as :
{^widget|(name)YouTubeVideo|(VideoURL)https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fwatch%3fv%3diwqgcxc0r5gfTzgw%26list%3dPLKeH-azh54PWS4kozV421JGVhCd5yw9Ia|(Width)425|(Height)355|(AutoPlay)False|(widget_displayname)YouTube+video^}
However, in my view, I now need to process theis syntax to actually embed the video as for the time being, it is just showing the raw code. How can I do this? I searched for some tutorial but didn't find any.
Is there a place where front-end code for these default widgets of the rich editor is made available?
Thank you for your help

Why don't you use regular embed markup? E.g.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GkagBXZQvOI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
HTML is the same for all the videos, you'll need to inject video URL into it.
The inline widgets are not supported in the MVC approach. You still have the toolbar buttons in the CKEditor on the Content tab - but this is because you can also have a portal engine site in the same instance. So, this means, if you want to use the inline widgets, you will need to parse the text value when getting it from Kentico, extract the Youtube URL and basically replace the widget code with the HTML markup mentioned by Roman. It may be just easier to hide the toolbar buttons for widgets for your editors and let them just to insert the URL directly.
I need to make a footer in Liferay and use theme for it. What's the simpliest way to do it?
I have created new theme, filled _diffs folder with other folders, but it's empty and I couldn't find relevant docs about this. Should I copy all basic files there? What should I change to create footer?
In Liferay, theme's portal_normal.vm serves as the template to
construct HTML structure of the page. There you define your header,
body and footer includes.
When you will look at the portal_normal.vm of classic theme, you will observe following HTML snippet:
<footer id="footer" role="contentinfo">
<p class="powered-by">
#language ("powered-by")
Liferay
</p>
</footer>
This is the footer of the page. This is what you need to implement. However, it's not necessary to use footer tag at all, as you can simply use div or table based structure with bootstrap or customized CSS classes for your footer, it's upto your requirement.
Remember! Classic theme is just like a sample provided by Liferay, so, it's not good idea to directly customize it.
Everybody needs a whole customized view of the site, and for this the best idea is to create a custom theme (that's what you are doing!), that will give you full control over your look-n-feel.
To kick-start, you can initially copy required folders from classic theme to your customized theme's (_diffs folder) and start changing bit by bit.
I am creating an ASP.NET web application. In one of my webpages (an ASCX control) I am placing a fusion chart inside a <div> tag. I want to provide an option for the client to download this fusion chart.
Is there any way that I can download
the fusion chart present in the Div
tag, as an image (Using javascript
because the div tag is a client side
control).
The request is that my client could save this fusion chart present in the <div> tag as an image when he visits the webpage.
The target browser is IE.
Please help me.
I can confirm that it is not possible to 'Export the chart as image' when using FusionCharts Free. However, as mentioned by Larsenal, you will be able to use FusionCharts v3.2.1 and it's updated JavaScript API to export pure JavaScript charts to JPEG, PNG, PDF, SVG formats.
Ref.- http://www.fusioncharts.com/docs/?ECPureJS.html
Furthermore, you may even export your Flash charts, if required, in a similar manner. DO check out the link below for a more detailed account of the same.
Ref.- http://www.fusioncharts.com/docs/?ECOverview.html
Hope this helps.
It is currently not possible to generate an image from a section of a webpage with JavaScript. Quoting myself from another question:
Firefox added something similar to
this to their canvas implementation.
You can find
CanvasRenderingContext2D.drawWindow()
documented in their wiki. It is
restricted to being used by plugins,
for security purposes, and isn't
supported by any other browsers.
There is
talk
of adding support to other browsers,
and perhaps removing some of the
security restrictions, but that is
probably a long way off. For now,
there isn't a good JavaScript solution
to your problem.
Sorry, there's no way to do it with Javascript.
I don't know about the Fusion controls, but some graphing libraries include a way to render to an image or PDF. Start looking there, not Javascript.
Update: FusionCharts claims to have the ability to export to JPG, PNG, PDF and CSV. Start with this page about exporting pure JS charts in their documentation.
I want to create tool tips for each part in a form which employees have to fill in a share point web page. When users move the mouse cursor on each field (Title, description, department etc.) the related tip will be automatically became visible as a simple pop-up (tool tip) and summarize what they should write there. and when the mouse cursor is not on one of these fields there is no tool tip.
How can I design such a system via share point designer? I am not able use any add ons. I can't upload any additional things to the server. I have to make page based design.
I would be glad if you kindly help me.
Have you considered using field description?
This is SharePoint's default way of adding additional information to fields.
I couldn't find the ToolTip control in my SharePoint Designer 2007 Toolbox, so I looked on W3Schools.com for a standard HTML option and found that you can use the <ABBR> tag.
See http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_abbr.asp for the reference, but here's an example of a tooltip implemented on a SharePoint field title in a display form:
<td valign="top" class="ms-formlabel" style="width: 50px">
<H3 class="ms-standardheader">
<nobr><abbr title="The actual number of man-days effort expended.">Man-days (Actual)</abbr></nobr>
</H3>
</td>
Open up the aspx page for the form in SharePoint designer. Then you can use SharePoint designer just like Visual Studio to see the code. Try adding the "tooltip" attribute to the field controls within the form. There is a small possibility these controls will actually be written using XSLT instead of ASP, so be prepared to do some studying.
By default the display name of the site column becomes the tool tip for that field.
When a list item has an attachment, SharePoint automatically renders a paperclip image for that particular row, which indicates that the item has an attachment. Is there any way to change the image that is rendered?
The site is in a shared hosting environment, so I can't simply replace the image on the file system. Also, there are other lists that are part of the same site that should use the default image.
Is there any way to change the image that is rendered for items with an attachment on an individual list basis?
EDIT: Following is the HTML that is rendered:
<td class="ms-vb2">
<img align="absbottom" src="http://devsandbox/_layouts/images/attach.gif" alt="Attachment"/>
</td>
The only real way you'll be able to do this is to use jQuery (or some other javascript library). You'll need to locate the elements you want to update on the page and change the URL's
$('img[src*=attach.gif]').each(function() {
$(this).attr('src', '/path/to/new/image.png');
}
My jQuery may be a touch wrong but that should be near enough to give you an idea of what to do
Edit - The best way to have this down would be via a custom WebPart which renders the JavaScript. This way it can easily be dropped into any page you want
i don't know which element off the top, but I would look for it in one of the stylesheets and use SharePoint designer to do the replacement work for a specific list.
Use Firebug to inspect the element that you want to revert. This will tell you the css class and other properties used by that element. Then write your own class and add it to the core.css file or if you want, add it to the css for the Site/Site Collection through the MasterPages link in Site Settings.
EDIT
I used firebug to look at an image in SharePoint and here is how it is rendering.
<img id="img_1-2_" class="rpo-gif rpo-gif-2" border="0" style="padding: 0px;" alt="Expand/Collapse" src="/_layouts/images/minus.gif"/>
As you can see it is using a class and setting a src to '/_layouts/images/minus.gif'. Well you can go find that file in the 12Hive directory and then replace it with an image of your choice that has the same name.
