Is there any way for Kentico Media Library application to search the sub folders of selected folder?
Files copied from FTP need to be "imported" into Kentico. If they were separated by folders/sub folders, you have to go to every single folder and "import" that folder's files.
I should not have to use Kentico API to do this simple task.
I am afraid but the search is looking into the current folder only. You can send a request to productmanagement#kentico.com as a feature request.
For the import - I see your point but there could be also the opposite need - what if someone wants to import only certain files from certain folder(s). It is the same as if you would upload the files through the UI - you need to do it per folder. But I hear what you are saying maybe there could be some setting for this. Again, you can send the feature request directly to the product managers.
I have several books in Gitbook and am bouncing users from the Sharepoint based intranet to documentation in Gitbook. Is there a way to automatically embed the Gitbook content into Sharepoint so it looks like it is integrated within the intranet?
I have successfully integrated Gitbook into Sharepoint. Initially I tried the answer provided above, but that rendered my gitbook inside a window within Sharepoint which looked bad to me.
Here is the way I accomplished it:
Using the Gitbook CLI Toolchain installed on a linux computer, issue the gitbook build command.
Take the output from this command, which is a folder called _book, and upload its contents to your Sharepoint documents folder.
Take care to replicate the folder structure exactly. This is a bit tedious since Sharepoint doesn't allow you to upload folders (at least not my instance).
Rename every .html document in the _book folder to .aspx. This allows Users to visit a page when they click a link rather than downloading the page. If i'm not mistaken, I also had to edit the links to my books pages inside the index.aspx page from .html to .aspx as well.
Here comes the cool part... visit the link provided for the (now) index.aspx. Get the link by clicking the ... button next to the file in Sharepoint. And...bingo, Sharepoint will serve your entire gitbook as a static site.
Hope this helps
Can you copy a Composite C1 website? I would like to create a copy of an existing website as a new website.
I start by creating Site A. Then I want to copy it and create Site B.
For example: copy the pages, functions, data, content, layouts, css from website A to website B. The only difference between the two would be the name.
It would infringe copywrites and may get you sued, but yes, its possible with a scraper, which basicly get all of the site, and download it to you, such things are used by google and search engines for a cache of sites.
Some exaples:

or just google "web scrapers"
If you own the site however, and have access to the ftp, just simply copy the files to a folder called /b and it can become www.a.com/b or you can set up an addon domain to point to /b and make the addon domain.... say www.b.com
The answer to your question "can you copy a website?"
Is Yes....you can.
Provided you have access to all the files/folders, its no different then copying a bunch of folders on your computer, to another folder.
So if you're using a shared host....and everything is in your public_html folder.
Just put the whole website in one folder, then copy it over to another folder.
And then just simply point your new domain to that folder, through your hosting platform.
The process to do this is different for different hosts, but the actual answer to your question is...
YES....YOU CAN COPY A WEBSITE FROM ONE FOLDER TO ANOTHER
IF you have access to the files on the server you can simply copy it to the other desired location...
But remember you have to update links and other paths (if they are absolute).
If you don't have the access you could maybe use the developer tools like firebug, or using F12 on chrome or IE and copy each file and source code you have by hand. This approach is a little more time consuming than the last one but at least it can be made.
Cheers
As far as I know the easiest way would be use use Internet Explorers save to offline webpage function (if it is still there) - this will copy all the resources of the currently open webpage and recode the HTML to use them, as for an entire website..I dont think it will be easy, for legal reasons.
If it's your own site, sure why not! Who is there to stop you?
But if it's someone elses site, of course you have to worry about copyright and most of the time the website uses server side scripts which are not downloabeable.
You can duplicate a Composite C1 website by copying the entire file structure to a new folder and then update the installation id in the folder ~/App_Data/Composite/Configuration/InstallationInformation.xml (put in a new random GUID). Then point a new IIS site into this new folder.
If your site is using SQL Server as a backend you also need to create a copy of your database, create a new user account with dbo access for this database and update the connection string in ~/web.config.
If you wish to duplicate an entire page structure inside the existing instance of the CMS and share media files, templates etc. this could be done, but no tooling is available. This would be a coding task.
Copy the the directory(website physical path) where the website is pointing to and paste it somewhere...create a new website and point it to that copied directory....
I am working on a problem where I have to login to a website (through a form on the webpage), which has many folders displayed on the page and these folders contains many files under them.DO I understand correctly that these folders are not same as folders present on our PC which has a physical location? These folders on the website are just a link which opens a list of files upon clicking.
So, I am struggling to write a code which can login to the site and download all folders and the contents(files) and arrange it in same fashion on the PC in the same hierarchy in which it is arranged in the website. I am thinking about using httpwebrequest for logging in the site, but I have no idea how to download the folders and the contents in the same form as in website.
can anyone help me to develop the code?? I am using C# as my language with .net 4.0
Before thinking about reinventing the wheel, why not ask your hosting provider about ftp access to the site. If you have that then problem solved ... use one of the numerous ftp clients to download all the website content in one click.
Good luck
I have a silverlight application inserted in a SharePoint page. The SilverLight application runs on a different server thatn that of SharePoint. From an event in the SilverLight, I generate a document on the server side from SQL Server. I can generate the doc on the server hosting the silverlight application and also copy it to the SharePoint server. I wanted to know if I can include this file in a sharepoint document library automatically. I was thinking if like emailing to a list allows us to copy the file into the library, can we configure the reverse, means copying the file make it part of the list.
Update:
I wanted to avoid uploading. For me uploading is sending the file from one location to the target location. But what I am saying is, if I copy the file into the folder where SharePoint keeps the file physically for the particular list, can it be added to the list automatically?
I am not sure, how well I am being able to describe the point. Please elaborate if required or I can answer your queries.
SharePoint stores the files in a database, not a folder.
WebDAV access may be what you're looking for - it's a backbone of the the Explorer View feature that allows a user to access a document library as if you were accessing a file system through a Windows Explorer window.
You can configure "incoming e-mail" properties for the document library, and assign an e-mail address.
After that, when you e-mail a document as attached to e-mail to this e-mail address, then attachment will be saved to that library by sharepoint automatically.
