I'm using Orchard 1.8 and I want to manage a blog with Windows Live Writer 2012.
Is there any simple solution to add a field image to the blog post content type and let the user fill it in Writer?
My idea is show a widget like [image - title - some text] so any advice is welcome.
Thank you.
Windows Live Writer only allows for simple blog post editing. It does not do structured data beyond what's provided by standard blogging APIs. It is trivial however to add images inside of a blog post's body.

Recently I have create a fullstack bloging website here. For writing blog I used react-quill because its extensible architecture and an expressive API, I can completely customize it to fulfill my needs. But Now I feeling that I need something which can handle markdown and LaTeX also. I was wondering is there any library which can handle both or at least LaTeX one with an expressive API?
And one more question, How stackoverflow give preview system(live preview of our markdown/LaTex code) when we ask a question? Because it's a really an important functionality when you writing a blog. It will be great help if anyone let me informed anything related with this.
I found react-latex and react-markdown to handle markdown and LaTex seperately. But still hanging on how to setup preview functionality. Any idea will be appreciated.
Input the text to react-markdown and preview the output in a div element.
You can check the source code of some open-source online markdown editor. They support latex also.
Reference:
stackedit
I would like to display the Graph API output for the Facebook Feed using the Facebook style, as it appears on the web and mobile app. Is there available reference code/layouts for this? Thanks!
OK. If your requirement is about the Layout and Desing that looks in Facebook sdk/ app then you must have to made such type of design for yours.
There is nothing like to develope such type of layout. Yes there are some Demo example that can be useful to develop such type of UI integration.
So hope you got the point.
For any query comment here.
Enjoy Coding. :)
Hi
I'm looking for a tool (free/paid) like a program that help me in reviewing my website style and interface such as explain the content of the home page (footer, header ..... ) taking snapshots and write comment on them ... I know this can be done using (print screen) and the MS paint but I need a more professional tool to use .
thank you in advance
I'm not sure if I understand well, but conceptshare may be the tool you looking for.
There's a firefox extension called Screengrab that can capture an entire page. You could add annotations to that quite easily in a DTP tool.
I'm not sure about the type of review you're looking for.
If you want to have people using the website and giving you their feedback in terms of navigation, layout, design and content, you can use a www.usertesting.com services.
They'll enroll users to test out the website and them give you a URl to review a video/audio recording of each user test. It's a great way to validate your website.
Hope this is what you were looking for...
I want to get a good list of image gallery engines of all flavours: Stand alone, plugins for Wordpress or Rails, AJAX, no AJAX, using simple folders or a database on the server.
Please state what is needed (eg MySQL and Django) to run each item if possible. Thanks!
[I asked a similar question a while back but had limited responses. Hopefully with more users and a small bounty this will pick up more steam. EDIT - can't attach a bounty for two days. Hold tight.]
These are the ones I recall at the moment, they are all easy to integrate and they don't require much implementation to use. They all have a good and appealing design. Hope it helps.
Cooliris: Runs on flash, uses an
RSS feed to show the images
FancyBox: Jquery Plugin, you
just need to have create an < a
ref... arround the < img src...
LightBox: jQuery plugin, also
easy to use.
Photo Slider: jQuery plugin, as
some thumbnails bellow which you can
use to slide through the images
SimpleViewer: Nice Design, shows
thumbnails and images
HighSlide JS: Javascript viewer
I like Gallery the best of any I've seen. It requires PHP and a database). It can be plugged in to WordPress and other CMSish things
Take a look at SourceForge
If you are looking for a gallery application I recommend the open source project 'Gallery2'.
Lytebox is easy to use and very nice. It's enhanced version of LightBox.
Here is a nice photogallery using silverlight. Slide.Show is another slick Silverlight gallery. There are many gallery modules available for DotNetNuke, and an official module. There are also a great many available on Codeplex.
What are your thoughts on using Windows Live Writer communicating with your website as the content editing system?
Windows Live Writer supports multiple category blogs (i.e. can be news, articles, and blogs), multiple category pages, tagging, XHTML WYSIWYG editing, image and file uploading via services or ftp, and the client has a "Insert HTML" plug-in library with a lot of already developed plug-ins for popular sites.
The trickiest part is implementing all of the XmlRpc methods in your services, but some digging with Reflector has exposed them as being pretty simple to implement the features.
I've considered it, but it's kind of like putting a triangle into a round hole. It will fit, but not quite right. Since the primary focus is around blogging, the page editing would be counter intuitive if you presented to someone as a page editor.
Well in the case where a web site's normal update pattern is to post new "news" a.k.a. blog posts, the page editing then becomes secondary to update the static content.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Using Windows Live Writer or MS Word 2007 (it supports Atom Publishing as well) to edit web materials on a site would be awesome (in theory), right?
I tried looking into creating an AtomPub Server, (using Google Data API, Apache Abdera, or Project ROME), to create a simple atom publication server backend on Java Google App Engine. It would save entities and images into the GAE datastore. The saved data could be shown via a simple front end on the site. All editing would be done in MS Word.
But creating a custom Atom pub server turned out overwhelmingly hard for me. I'll throw in the towel for now, at least for the AtomPub protocol. Something dead-simple like a CRUD entity interface might still be possible for Windows Live Writer, as it supports simpler protocols.
As far as I know, it hasn't been done for GAE. Umbraco ASP.net CMS supports it though.
