According to Laravel Documentation
In other frameworks, pagination can be very painful. Laravel makes it a breeze. Laravel can quickly generate an intelligent "range" of links based on the current page, and the generated HTML is compatible with the Bootstrap CSS framework.
My question is Foundation also compatible with Laravel's pagination?
There is nothing to stop Laravel pagination working with Foundation but the default HTML generated by Laravel is Bootstrap specific. There is no mention in the docs or API to suggest that it can generate Foundation-specific code.
You have two choices. One is to write your own custom code (covered elsewhere on Stack Overflow, although not specifically for Foundation)
The other option is to pull in a specific package that someone else has written:
Laravel 4
https://github.com/binarix/Laravel-Foundation-Pagination
Laravel 5
https://github.com/etcinit/foundation-pagination
You can easily pass the paginator data to your own view of a paginator. - Meaning you can do the following:
Create a folder named components in your views folder and then create a pagination view; after pass the pagination data to the component created and include it as shown below in any of your views.
Getting a paginated data set:
$yourPaginationData = App\YourModel::orderBy('id', 'desc')->with(['relation'])->paginate(15)
Including the pagination:
#include('components.pagination', ['paginator' => $yourPaginationData])
In the view, one can manipulate the pagination data as needed and create their own design and idea of pagination.
You can also find something open-source for foundation that was custom built to work with laravel here.
My website is an ajax single page application with serverside rendering. What are some javascript framework i can use for made a better organization of my javascript code?
BreezeJS you can use for rich data centric apps, which can be used with knockout or angularJS.
I prefer u to use HotTowel SPA template and take a look on this link
http://www.johnpapa.net/spa/
And before asking any questions You should be clear for what you need and why u need. So take your time and look around you will get.
You can look into breezeJS which is used to build rich Data-Centric application, for DOM manipulation you can use some JQueryUI or KendoUI, for dynamic Data bindings which will allow you to change the content of your Views you can prefer Knockout or Angular. Using AngularJS will be much appreciated as it provides rich AngularUI which helps you to change your view to manipulate DOM. Based on type of application you want to develop, you can select from the above suggestions.
I'm new to django and I'm trying to figure out how to create custom actions inside admin site.
Let's say I want to create some sort of custom form with fancy ajax based ui.
What I would normally do in .NET/PHP/Ruby is prepare some js code and a service that will be called via ajax and return json or even html.
A more concrete example could be an auto complete box to manage a many to one relationship. What should I do to build such a system inside the django admin site? (I know there are a couple of ready to use solution for this. But I'm not interested: just for study purposes).
In this particular case (a fancier widget), ModelAdmin has several useful hooks like ModelAdmin.form and ModelAdmin.formfield_overrides.
Creating a custom Django Form Widget is more elegant, but if the widget is pure JS (like many jQuery widgets), most of the time it is not worth - just override the change_form.html admin template for the Model in question.
You can easily change the form and the template of the ModelAdmin.
So you're free to inject any CSS and JS you like. Take look at this presentation to get the basic idea.
I have a component for Joomla which I need to add an admin editable field to in order to display custom html. This needs to be multi-lingual and my idea is to display and article in the component so that it is easily maintainable.
How would I do that without external plugins? Or, what is a better way of doing it?
The best way, if you want to avoid php-programming, would be to use Joom!Fish. This way you will have full multi-lingual support.
I want to create my own form that are submitted and values of that form will be stored in joomla database. How can i used the Joomla connection code to interacte with the joomla database.
If you just want to get your work done, there are some components already avaiable in Joomla Extension's website to your form's needs. CkForms is a good one, you can create simple forms with it that are automatically saved in the database (supports upload of files too).
If you want to learn how to write extensions in Joomla, you should read Joomla Official Documentation website.
Extensions in Joomla are divided in "Components", "Modules" and "Plugins". More informations about these differences can be found here and here.
What you're trying to achieve sounds a "component" to me. Downloading the CkForms and reading it's source code should get you started to Joomla's way of writing components.
EDIT: Joomla has a huge API with a lot of features. It has a database module of it's own, with insert methods and such. Reading Joomla's API website before implementing your component it's a good idea to avoid "reinventing the wheel" and it's a good practice since those methods are extensively tested by all Joomla users.
The JForm class helps you build forms.
Documentation can be found here:
joomla CMS: http://docs.joomla.org/API16:JForm
joomla API: http://api.joomla.org/11.4/Joomla-Platform/Form/JForm.html
This class provides you with ready to use form elements and form loading and/or processing methods
This class includes validation methods, date picker control, color picker, etc.
Of course, as another mentioned above, if you are building a module, component, or application, you will need to learn how to to develop a module, component or application. Of these three, the module is the easiest to implement.
The application gives you much freedom b/c you are not constrained to the CMS paradigm, front and back end complexities. However, there is little documentation about how to develop applications with Joomla framework b/c joomla as a framework is relatively new
This tutorial gets you started understanding how to use JForm to create a form in Joomla: http://www.ostraining.com/blog/how-tos/development/getting-started-with-jform/
Or you could just create add a html module to any position and then write the form in html i.e.
<form method="post" action="mycreatedpage.php"> <input type="text"/> <input type="submit">
Now just create a page that handles the code by emailing or inserting into db. I havent tried it but i think it should work.
Looks like everyone already told you almost everything I know except for the component creator. Very easy to use, and it follows Joomla standards. Will get you up and running within minutes.
I have got good working experience with Joomla RSForm Pro. It has got options for

Take a look at the Chronoforms extension - does more than you want.
You have two options:
Use an already built custom form extension
Create your own custom form extension (or outsource it)
Now if you only want to modify the user registration form, then you can do some PHP customization to accomplish your goal.
Making forms in Joomla can be done in a couple of ways.
If you just wanted a contact us, you can just create a page with a menu item for the User contact form. This gives you a page with a Members address and contact form. So all you would need to do was add the user as the company of the websites home address and email. But the form is very basic, name, title, textarea for message.
Next up from that you could just make a Custom HTML module add add a form to it in plain HTML like +Sean said above this, you would need to code in PHP your own form process script. You would not get error in form data checking unless you also wrote it.
Next you might rather look on the Joomla Extension Directory JED for one of the good extensions for 3 and 2.5 Joomla RSForms!Pro is good, and can do all we have needed. This lets you add fields one by one and move your form around. Then can auto generate or custom the html of the form.
You can easily create your own forms with Fabrik
Chronoforms are now a days a very popular solution for custom forms in joomla. Chornoforms support twitter bootstrap also. In simple 5 steps you can create a contact form with unlimited fields and also embed various function like DB save, Email, Thanks Message, Redirection on any page. There is events and events will have particular events.
Also possibility of extension of Normal joomla registeration. It will not extend the core registration but at the time of registration you can take various information from users.
I would use Chrono Forms, they work really well and are easy to use.
