JavaScript file manager with column view - javascript

I would like to share documents on my homepage in column-view, so it feels like browsing in Marlin or Finder. How would I start out to do this with JavaScript? Possibly any JS libraries?
I do not have access to any serverside coding, though the server supports PHP5.

You can use UI library. Alternatives with similar UI controls are Sencha, jQWidgets, KendoUI, Wijmo.
For example you can use the jqxMenu by jQWidgets.
The file browsing can be done using the File API but probably you'll need already defined list of files (the use of the File API will be for extra file information).

the guys at sencha make a cracking library which could mimick the Finder style/look, have a look at some of their examples at http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/example but would require some serverside coding to return the file data you wish to display...

an api for searching packages/libraries in unpkg like the cdnjsAPI?

pardon if it is a silly question, I am trying to make a Javascript code editor React app and I have come across the need to add external javascript libraries as dependencies to the editor(not for the app to run, but for the editor inside it). I found the cdnjs API https://api.cdnjs.com/ which would have been perfect except for the fact that certain libraries like ml5js are not to be found in here. However if there was some way I could search unpkg like this, I could add particular libraries according to the user's choice. So, is there some api like that which could return a json object containing the list of libraries with their unpkg cdns, matching the queries sent for the library names?
Or, is there any other way I could get search from a list of javascript libraries other than unpkg?
There is no official way to search for UNPKG packages but there is a third part website https://www.unpkgsearch.com/
You can search for packages and directly copy the unpkg link

Need to find this script

I'm trying to do new stuff for my websites (based on PHP - Linux server) and I wanted to do something like this website
http://equ.com.au/
I love the fact that each content load and it changes the URL directory.
What's the script used? I tried to google a lot of words combination but the only thing that came out were images slider, or page loaders (all those stuff that I can't find when I need them).
Hope to get an answer soon.
C YA
as mentioned reference site ( http://equ.com.au ), this is single-page application. you need to try google for building single-page app.
But you want to change URL you need to write custom code in 'JavaScript'. Like this .
location.hash = "contact-us";
You should reefer http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_loc_hash.asp
and use any 'Jquery' plugin for make slider.
Let me know if any query, Enjoy :)
You can use javascript history plugin to achieve this because it very difficult to manage data with browser hashes. You can use this https://github.com/browserstate/history.js

Combine CKEditor into 1 file

Thought I would open this question to the javascript community. Does anyone know if its possible to combine CKEditor into 1 file? I want to try and integrate it in one of my desktop applications which uses a web viewer - I can execute one flat file in my web viewer internally in my application otherwise I'll have to reference to the CDN which I'm hoping to avoid. I want to develop an app that does not require external web service.
Performance should not be an issue as the file would be in my application running locally - I would include all the licenses/readme etc etc.
Is there a tool out there that can help me to achieve this, and has anyone done it or is not possible due to the architecture - the way CKEditor has been written?
Thanks
CKEditor loads some JS files on demand (i.e. dialog definitions). There are also several skin CSS files, sprites with icons and separate langfiles. I hardly think there's any reasonable way to combine all these resources into a working JS bundle without architectural changes.

How can i change the language of my Html5 hybrid application using java script and jQuery?

In my application i have a option of language selection.
When I select an option, the entire application language should be changed.
I have already tried using Google and Microsoft api but guess that is paid. Is there any free api using javascript that can help me regarding this problem.
This post might be what you are looking for. They are talking about:
A wordpress, change language plugin widget.
A jQuery handler to change language by directing to another url.
Have a nice day!
Two options:
#1
Have a look here. Click "Options" top right and select another langauges. Open a datebox plugin widget and it will be in the language you specified.
I like the way it's done using Crowdin, although you will end up with all your text in .js files. If you check out one of the languages sample files this will be a lot of meat to load if your site becomes more complex.
#2
Do this server side. I'm (using Coldfusion) loading a langauge object on first page load and cache this until the user selects a new language. My langauge object is about 60k with 2000 entries. You could also send this to the page from server via json and store it in the page, then you could reference it from Jquery/Javascript.
I will probably end up trying to switch from server side to using the first approach and will try to see if I can split up my language .js files according to JQM page and then load them together with require, which would mean only a few ks per page. If you don't mind having a bunch of langauge files for each language and page, this would probably be the best "Mobile" approach.

blogengine without php or asp.net etc

Is there a way to have a blog directly integrated into my HTML/javascript-only website, without having to have something like a SQL-database and a dynamic engine like PHP or MySQL?
Maybe there is some service in the web that offers this (hopefully without ads :) ). Or maybe I can have a blog engine entirely written in javasript?
Entirely written in JavaScript? Surely that defeats the entire point of having a "blog-engine" in the first place? The point being that the data is stored somewhere and dynamically retrieved. To avoid using anything server-side (which seems to be your intent), and only use HTML/JavaScript, you'd have to store all the data for the blog in files that are served up to each visitor, and then retrieve the data from the particular, local, locations using JavaScript.
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the point here... but this seems to be an utterly useless way of trying to go about things. Blogs are, in general, either written statically (in HTML [even though this is rare]), or are dynamically generated from a database by a server-side scripting language (most common).
Edit: As an additional point, I suppose you could include some third-party blog feed, or service, in your page, via use of JavaScript... but I'm unsure as to which (if any) blogging services would directly support this method of working. Additionally, this is quite an unreliable way of including third-party data in a page...
Here's a thought. It's not really a blog engine - but a wiki.
Entirely javascript/html/css. All lives in a single html file:
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/
not sure how it would work on a real live site, but their site is using it:
* A personal notebook
* A GTD ("Getting Things Done") productivity tool
* A collaboration tool
* For building websites (this site is a TiddlyWiki file!)
* For rapid prototyping
* ...and much more!
You could use github pages. You will get a generated blog with version control.
Other option is to use a Desktop blog tool and then update your site.
You can user iWeb if you have a Mac or CityDesk on Windows or you may try this open source tool
Edit Today I came across this tool: Zeta producer that may help.

Blog engine written in just JS and XML [v0.6] {JavaScript, XML}
So, what you want is to have a blog where you're website provider doesn't provide a way to serve dynamic content?
The only way I see that you can do it in that case is writing html-files (or text-files if you prefer) and adding them to the site. After that you can have some JavaScript to add them to your "blog-page".
You of course need to upload them to the website in the same way as you do for the other files, and then have a way for the JavaScript to know which pages it should fetch.
I am not aware of any JavaScript blog-engines, but you can have a look at the templating functions in for instance Prototype
Of course, that means that you will have to fetch both the template and the content through Ajax and let the client do all the processing (could be slow and possibly insecure), and you still need to have a place to upload the content and update it.
Your best bet is going to be using a generator to create the HTML/CSS/JS to upload to your server, take a look at Webby: http://webby.rubyforge.org/
IF you really need to you can use a public api for a service that lets you post small bits of info and retrieve it using javascript.
for example if you only need small posts you can make a blog in html.javascript that utilizes twitter as the engine. of course you will be limited to 140 chars. I am sure there are other services that will allow a similar idea but with less restrictions.
And of course the best option - Get a blog software or host your blog with a service provider and link to it from you site.
Good luck
One solution would be to use some application that generates the static web pages of your blog, and uploads them to your web server. This way you'd have a blog with static content that could all be managed in javascript alongside your existing site, without needing to install database, daemon software, or additional dynamic web programming languages on your server. The static content generation could happen directly on your server if possible, or you could run the html generation tool locally and upload the output.
MoveableType has a tool like this. You still need somewhere to store the content of your blog, and for this MoveableType uses MySQL by default, so you'd still need to install a database somewhere, but the database could simply be one your local desktop.
MoveableType also has support via plugins or older versions that can retrieve data from a sqlite or other database. The advantage of sqlite is that it doesn't require installing daemons like MySQL does, you can just put a sqlite file on disk somewhere, give MoveableType the path to the file, and run the script to generate your static content.
There are likely other tools like MoveableType, and I have in the past generated blog-like web pages simply by writing small scripts to generate HTML. The main issue is just that you need somewhere for these scripts to fetch data from.
Another option might be to develop your blog using XSLT, ... with XSLT, you'd put the content of your pages in XML files, and then write a template in XSL that converts your XML to HTML.
If you google for 'static blog site generation' you might find other ideas/options, including Jekyll/github mentioned in one of the other responses.
