Basically what I'm trying to do is to be able to add my own "search engine" (based on PHP and Mod_rewrite) to any browser automatically.
Somewhere on the Internet I found that I need to declare a search provider. How can I do this? <link>, manifest or some JavaScript?
A couple of steps. First, create an XML file with the information for the search provider. This is an example for Wikipedia: (Named: Wikipedia.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>Wikipedia</ShortName>
<Description>Wikipedia Search</Description>
<InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
<Url type="text/html" template="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={searchTerms}" />
</OpenSearchDescription>
Then you need to call the Windows method to add it. I do it with a button element like so but you could call the method how ever you prefer.
<input type="button" value="Add Wikipedia Search Provider" onClick='window.external.AddSearchProvider("Wikipedia.xml");'>

Our site have Google Custom Search set up. Instructions from Google have been followed, including downloading the CSE.xml file and adding “a new attribute enable_nocontent_tag="true" to the CustomSearchEngine tag”. The rest of the CSE file is left to default. The Search engine keywords field have been left empty. The “nocontent” class have been added to the menu and the underlying menu items which exists on all pages. The page have been running with the “nocontent” class on the menu for 2 weeks.
The problem is that if the searchterm occurs in the menu it will then appear in the results.
This is an example of our menu html:
<header class="nocontent page-head">
<nav class="main-nav-section">
<ul>
<li class="nocontent">
###
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
When we go to Google Search Console under the menu item “Crawl” and use Fetch as Google, then the html comes up as expected with the “nocontent” class on the menu.
This is our cse.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CustomSearchEngine id="###" creator="###" language="da" encoding="UTF-8" enable_suggest="true" enable_nocontent_tag="true">
<Title>###</Title>

Note: I'm assuming that your question is the following statement:
The problem is that if the searchterm occurs in the menu it will then appear in the results.
I think you might be misinterpreting the purpose of the nocontent class. The documentation says:
When Google Custom Search sees this tag, we'll ignore any keywords it contains and won't take them into account when calculating ranking for your Custom Search engine.
At the end of that document is also the following section:
Using nocontent won't impact your site's performance in Google Web Search, or our crawling of your site, in any way. We'll continue to follow any links in tagged content; we just won't use keywords to calculate ranking for your Custom Search engine.
So, the purpose of nocontent is not to prevent the included content from appearing in your CSE results but just to prevent any keywords in the included content from influencing the ranking of the results.
You can find some more discussion on this topic in the Google Custom Search support forums, for example in this thread.
P.S. There is a different product, the Google Search Appliance, which does support excluding content from indexing via googleoff/googleon tags.
I'm trying to add a sidebar gadget to Gmail using the guidance given in https://developers.google.com/gmail/sidebar_gadgets. To get started, I've taken a copy of the Hello World file, changed the text a bit and placed it in http://bachtrack.com/mygooglegadget.xml. I've added it to the list of gadgets in my Gmail settings, as specified - it's visible on the settings page.
Trouble is, nothing else happens at all. There's no visible gadget anywhere in my sidebar as a result of this, in any of a variety of screens.
What am I doing wrong? Here's the code - I really don't think I changed anything other than the text, and it appears to parse OK...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="Google gadget example from Bachtrack" />
<Content type="html">
<![CDATA[
Hello from my Bachtrack Gmail gadget!
]]>
</Content>
</Module>
By the way, I think this is the same as the unanswered https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21378334/gmail-gadget-doesnt-appear-sidebar but I'm posting it separately to include the tag google-bigquery.
We use one theme for our desktop web page and another for responsive/mobile version of the site. But for mobile we don't always want to show images and it would be good if we can restrict it from the template, not just hiding it with CSS (because it still loads the image, just does not show it).
For that I need to get liferay current active theme ID or name so I can add simple if statement in the template.
#if(${themename} == "desktopTheme")
<img src="foo.jpg"/>
#end
Does anyone has ideas how to get it? I searched and checked lots of liferay's forums, but didn't find anything.
Thanks!
My advice would be to not hardcode the theme's name, but use theme settings that are readily available. Just configure your theme to be "desktop" or "mobile" style and check for this property. This way you can cover many different themes without hardcoding particular ones.
Also, the various ThemeDisplay.getTheme*() methods will help you to get the required information almost anywhere you are.
Here's some untested pseudo code for your themes (I just typed it here, never compiled/deployed, you might want to add null-checks for the VM stuff)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE look-and-feel PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Look and Feel 6.0.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-look-and-feel_6_0_0.dtd">
<look-and-feel>
<compatibility>
<version>6.1.0+</version>
</compatibility>
<theme id="my-desktop-1" name="My First Desktop Theme">
<settings>
<setting key="mobile" value="false" />
</settings>
</theme>
</look-and-feel>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE look-and-feel PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Look and Feel 6.0.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-look-and-feel_6_0_0.dtd">
<look-and-feel>
<compatibility>
<version>6.1.0+</version>
</compatibility>
<theme id="my-mobile-1" name="My First Mobile Theme">
<settings>
<setting key="mobile" value="true" />
</settings>
</theme>
</look-and-feel>
And then, in VM or JSPs or other code:
#if( ! $themeDisplay.getSetting("mobile"))
## more resources, desktop only, here.
#end
#if( $themeDisplay.getSetting("mobile")
## mobile only stuff here.
#end
And finally you might also want to consider to use the Device Detection API to determine the current device's actual capabilities on a far finer granularity
Suggest you to use themeId whis is also unique. its something the following:
xxx_WAR_xxxtheme
#if($themeDisplay.getThemeId().equalsIgnoreCase("<dektop theme id>"))
### your logic here
#end

I was wondering if someone could help me out with Sharepoint 2007. What I want to do is to add a custom menu item to a context menu (the menu that opens when you click a document or another item).
Right now, the menu looks like this:
picture
I want to add an item, "Do stuff" for example, to this menu. Major problems:
I wish this item to appear only in menus for a certain file type (e.g. only for .html but not for .doc);
When I click this item ("Do stuff"), I want to call custom external code (written in C#, either an exe or a DLL), which accepts the name of the clicked file as an input parameter.
I understand the way to achieve this is by using Custom Actions (no javascript editing required in 2007, right?). But since I'm quite new to MOSS, I'm a bit lost and not sure what exactly to do and where to start, so any help is greatly appreciated.
You have to implement a CustomAction like this:
<CustomAction
Id="YourUniqueId"
Location="EditControlBlock"
RegistrationType="FileType"
RegistrationId="html"
Sequence="20"
Title="The text you want">
<UrlAction Url="~site/_layouts/company/ActionPage.aspx?List={ListId}&ID={ItemId}" />
</CustomAction>
What you put in the Url of UrlAction depends on what you want to do. It can be JavaScript or the url of a Page or Handler.
In my example it's a Page which gets the QueryParameters so that SPContext.Current.ListItem will contain the selected documents listitem.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements Id="d0574a32-59ce-4561-9496-ccf17da37a35" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction Id="Test2"
Location="EditControlBlock"
RegistrationType="FileType"
//docx = documents, txt = text files, html = html files**
RegistrationId="docx" Sequence="10"
Title="View Item Properties">
<UrlAction Url="~site/_layouts/WSSHOL/ViewPageRedirect.aspx?listid={ListId}&itemid={ItemId}" />
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
I have this feature
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Feature Id="c54f20d8-1ad1-49b8-aff7-2c874dd2f45a"
Title="MyCompany Content Types"
Description="Content Types required for MyCompany Provided Applications and Functionality"
Version="12.0.0.0"
Hidden="FALSE"
Scope="Site"
DefaultResourceFile="core"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ElementManifests>
<ElementManifest Location="siteColumns.xml"/>
</ElementManifests>
</Feature>
Here is the contents of siteColumns.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Field
ID="{1F343F02-22D9-45b8-A2A8-CEB2619A28C4}"
Name="AllowSubstDelivery"
DisplayName="AllowSubstDelivery"
Type="Boolean"
Format="TRUE"
Group="MyCustomGroup"
/>
</Elements>
The feature installs and activates, without producing an error, but the siteColumn is nowhere to be found, any ideas why this site column is not visible?
I checked the logs, no errors reported either.
Hmmm... it looks like you have done everything correctly. Did you copy and paste the ID for the Field from anywhere? If so, the ID may already be in use causing your Field provision to be ignored.
I find the best way to create a Feature defining Site Columns and Content Types is to prototype everything using the Web interface and then copy and paste the generated CAML into your Visual Studio projects. I recorded a short video demonstrating the process that you may find valuable.
SharePoint Site Columns and Content Types via a Feature
What does Format="TRUE" mean?
Doesn't look like it's according to documentation.
Field Element Documentation doesn't tell you much about those properties, however there is much in common with FieldRef element and it has documentation about Format attribute.
Maybe you wanted to use DefaultValue attribute?
