I am having trouble figuring out how to do even the simplest things in Alfresco, like typing a simple document. I've been Googling and noticed that customizations can be done through HTML documents. I need help and decided to post a question to a knowledgeable user platform. THe following customizations I would like are WAY far fetched and most likely not even achievable, but any help that can be provided I would really appreciate.
*list items in bold are most important
Anyone could be assigned a login and when they logged in they would have access to and easily view all of the contents of the site (or multiple sites that make up one accessible website?)
All of the items on the website would be a hierarchy, the user facing contents of the site would be a list of links with thumbnails, when one link was clicked it would be another list of links with large thumbnails, when one of those links was clicked a text document would be brought up, that document would contain clickable sections, when one of those sections was clicked it would bring up a page only containing the section clicked:
Links (crafts)
2nd layer of links (modules)
Text and image document with clickable links (single module containing clickable sections)
Section (single sections of module)
The module and section text would also contain images and tables throughout and mixed in the text
If a link (module or section) was used in multiple places all instances of the link would be linked to each other. If on instance was edited, the other would also change. THis setting could be turned off for any individual link if necessary.
Every document should have an easy to use live commenting system (something simple like Disqus would work) The comments are the most important on the single section pages but would also be good on the module page
An advanced tagging system that would be part of the entire site/website environment. A user could type anything they wanted as a tag and use multiple tags. The tags would be used for their comments on the content (text, sections) but the tags could be searched (most importantly by the administrators of the site) at any time in the whole environment. A popularity of any tag could also be viewed (I'm not sure how that would work, possibly another section of the site or an easy to see column on any text/image document?)
A user could edit their own comment if they wished but would not be able to delete it entirely. Comments would also be date and time stamped.
I know all of this is most likely impossible but if anyone has an idea of Alfresco customizations that could pull any of this off, or of an entirely different secure platform or site that would perform anything similar to this please let me know.
Thank you!
It sounds like you are looking for a Web Content Management (WCM) System. Alfresco is a Document Management (DM) System. You can use Alfresco as a back-end for a custom content-centric solution, but if you are expecting to install it, start it up, and have anything close to what you've listed above, you are barking up the wrong tree.
Everything you've listed is a front-end concern. You can use whatever you want to develop that functionality, but none of it will leverage Alfresco unless you choose to store some of the data in the Alfresco back-end.
You might be better off looking at something in the WCM space, such as Drupal or Wordpress. Or if you want something Java-based, look at Magnolia CMS or Hippo CMS.

I have recently inherited a web app using the EXTjs framework. I'm not really that familiar with it, but I have been learning it the best I can over the last few months. I have recently been given an assignment to update the entire application to comply with 508 Compliance, that is to say, make the application accessible for those with vision issues. I was given a deficiency list that gives examples where the software doesn't comply for various reasons. I guess I need a little help in understanding how this works. I've looked at the EXTjs documentation and it does say that it has accessibility features available in it, but I haven't really been successful in finding what to do. Those using the application are using the JAWS screen reader if that makes any difference.
A few of the things I know that I need to fix are:
Some elements need to be tagged as a heading so the screen reader can read it programmatically an to give the web page some structure.
When tabbing around a table/grid the data is read without any context/header information.
Color is used as a visual cue to indicate action(ie required field). I'm supposing this is for color blindness and some other visual cue needs to be added.
Modal windows can't be resized or moved by the keyboard.
Needs a mechanism to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on multiple pages.
Pages do not have titles(this is a single page app).
Keyboard operable UI elements do not have a visible indication of focus(radio button group doesn't show focus, even if selected one does).
Name/State of UI elements in the product can't be understood(ie the name of expand and collapse buttons are read as expand panel or collapse panel by assistive tech without context to what is being expanded or collapsed).
There are many other issues, but this gives some idea of the scope of the changes required. As I have stated above, I've done a lot of examination of the EXTjs documentation at their site as well as google searches on how to make applications more accessible. But I'm not really seeing what I need. Much of this application is just configuring EXTjs templates and then loading them with much of the meat of the application being handled by the EXTjs built in js code.
I would appreciate any help, useful sites with examples, or code snippets on how to accomplish some of this. I'm hoping that once I get started with some examples, I can just go on from there.
Thanks.
Most items come with aria support. Personally I would add look into each component and add an automated aria support. E.g. button ==> aria.label = button.text
Take a look at ariaAttributes, ariaDescribedBy, ariaLabel and ariaLabelledBy. Some have ariaErrorText, ariaHelp.
Next take a look at tabIndex. You want to ensure that you can use TAB to jump through the fields, buttons, ...
Sorry if this question sounds stupid but im a noob with wordpress.
I am a javascript developer, and I want make a little game (or games) with wordpress. Opening main page there is a sliding puzzle. After complete, a button appears and clicking there you pass to another page. This is basically the same to all pages.
But I can't find were i put my javascript or HTML code. I create the pages but I can't edit them the way I want, everytime i try to do it i only can edit like word. I cant create, change or edit divs attibutes or tags. To be honest the only thing i can edit is CSS in stylesheet, but is too limited.
I have done the search, try found a solutions or ways to done it but when i look to tutorials is all diferent from what i see.
to give you an ideia I want to do a mix of this:
-> http://www.rustylake.com/room-escape-games/cube-escape-case-23.html
and this
-> https://ebonyriddle.com/
but i don't know how to edit page to page.
can you help me?
Thanks for everything
PS: I know I can do it without Wordpress, but I want use it anyway to learn more about the CMS (because of work) maintain website structure and later learn how to do my own templates or plugins.
To answer your question directly, yes it is possible (and easy, relatively speaking) to add custom code to every page / post of a Wordpress site.
More generally, you’re talking about creating a custom Wordpress theme, which you can find out more about here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
and here:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/ (Good suggestion from #ItsGeorge)
Regarding adding custom JavaScript to a theme, your files will need to be enqueued as per these instructions.
Outlining the steps involved in Wordpress theme development would go beyond the scope of your question, but there are plenty of resources online and answers to Wordpress specific questions on wordpress.stackexchange.com. You will need to familiarise yourself with php as well as JavaScript, to take full control of Wordpress.
I would say that developing a game feels like an odd fit... If learning Wordpress is your objective, a blog or personal website might be a better place to start, then you could move onto a game once you are familiar with the concepts involved, e.g. the loop, which plays a huge part in how Wordpress works
Good luck!
The primary focus of WordPress is to put HTML code and JS out of the user. You might manage your extra JavaScript files with your theme customization. If you want to get more control about how your pages are rendering, you should use action hooks and filters. The simplest way for you is to override each page template like this
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#single-page
The preferable resource to ask Wordpress related questions is https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/
I'm trying to set up a page which will have multiple elements in it. Could be something like books galery where when you click on the thumbnail a modal opens up with the picture of the book, link to publisher (or personal book page) and a description.
I was wondering whether it's more prudent to generate 1 modal per thumbnail (no js needed to manage anything and quick setup) or to setup one modal in which that data would be overwritten depending on which thumbnail you're clicking (less html generated but more complex to set up requiring js and storing information somewhere like data attribute).
I've seen a lot of topics and coverage regarding modals but haven't seen question like that asked so far. Everyone seems to be spamming countless modal "elements" without question.
Could someone shed some light on this for me?
The more efficient and future proof approach would be to incorporate JavaScript. As you would only be storing the data for each book and a single template modal this would conserve bandwidth. Additionally, what if you wanted to add more books? Just adding the data to the "books" array would be much easier in the future rather than having to create a new modal for each new entry.
However, if the gallery size is very small it may not be worth the time and effort to do this.
Hence, this is a design choice, it's up to you to decide what would be the ideal approach for your project.
I am currently building a website but in an effort to prevent not necessary data to be loaded i decided to split but the website into serveral divs and load the content inside the div.
Because of this when i click on the back button i dont go to the previous location on the site but to where i was browsing before. Is there a way to solve this without rewriting the entire site? So for instance on my site there would be a members page that would be called upon using javascript by loading $('#content').load('members.php?id=$id');
For instance by creating a fake location...index.php#fakelocation (which contains the specific content i just loaded)
Can anyone give me a push in the right direction (or if this is impossible id like to hear it to)
I think what you're looking for is a combination of the History API and AJAX.
Lucky for you, there's a great library called PJAX that combines these technologies.
Without knowing more about how your backend works, I can't comment on additional steps to optimize the whole application, but PJAX is friendly with any number of server-side technologies.
Hi
my web site provides instant filtering of articles via JavaScript.
Initially, 12 most fresh summaries for articles are displayed.
Summaries of ALL articles are putted into JavaScript cache-object (rendered by server in script tags).
When user click on tags, corresponding summaries for articles will be taken from JS cache-object and inserted into the page as HTML pieces.
Does it have some negative impact on how SEO-friendly my web site is.
The main problem is clear: only 12 "static" URL's are displayed and another will appear programmatically only on user interaction.
How to make the site SEO-friendly, keeping this nice filtering feature ?
When i will add a link "all articles" that will load separate page with all articles, will it solve the SEO problems ?
The way to make this work for Search Engines, user who don't have JavaScript and also in your funky way is to write this feature in stages.
Stage 1: Get a working "Paged" version of this page working, so it shows 12 results and you can click on "next page" and "last page" and maybe even on various page numbers.
Stage 2: Implement the filter using a form-post and have it change the results shown in the page view.
Stage 3: Add JavaScript over the top of the working form and have it display the results the normal post would display. You can also replace the full-page-reload for paging with JavaScript safe in the knowledge that it all works without JavaScript.
Most people use an AJAX request rather than storing an ever-increasing list in a JavaScript array.
Crawlers (or most of them) don't enable javascript while crawling. therefore, all javascript powered content won't be referenced. And your site will be considered smaller as it is by search engines. this will be penalizing for your pages.
Making a "directory" page can be a solution. But if you do so, search engines will send user to these static pages, and not through your javascript viewer homepage.
Anyway, I would not recommend to make a javascript-only viewable content:
First it's not SEO friendly
then it's not javascript-disabled
friendly
imposibillity to use history
functions (back and next)
middle click "open in a new
tab/window" won't be working.
Also you can't bookmark javascript
generated content
so is your nice feature nice enough to lose the points mentionned above?
There are ways to conciliate your feature + all those points but that's far from easy to do.
