My boss is convinced that an InDesign mockup can be moved to the web with a click of a button. Can someone please confirm or deny this? As far as I know, InDesign is for text publications and can only be used to create a DESIGN and not an actual website itself.
maybe not exactly what you want but try DPS to make a web app from InDesign:

You can only export images and text, no links, drawings, lines, etc.

I am coding some basic html code just to display an image banner to our OBIEE dashboard but failed to do so. I am a newbie in terms of programming so feel free to correct me in anyway. So, here's the detail.
I am currently working in the static text layout where the old banner was coded, I remove them and replace with a basic code that only import an image see here.
*Oracle Business Intelligence 12.2.1.4.0
I have tried coding it thru HTML,CSS, & Javascript those only the few I basically know. I did my research and follow some tutorials but no glimpse of hope to it, it does work when I relay the output in a browser while coding it in Visual Studio.
What I want is just to display it successfully and not to show a image icon. Hope someone can help me out. Thank You :)
I am struggling to comprehend where Visual Studio comes into this but assuming you want to just have an image on a dashboard then there are lots of options
It looks like you are trying to insert a remote image which is going to cause all sorts of security issues that are likely to mean it will get blocked.
The simplest is to just add a "link or Image" object and use a local image. If you click on the select image button there is an option to upload image and select it for display.
If you want to use html then you just need to add a text object and add the img html
<img src="https://someurl.com/img.jpg" />
but you are going to need to change lot of security policies to allow the content to be displayed.
There are other options to host the file locally such as a shared folder (https://gianniceresa.com/2017/02/obiee-12c-custom-style-using-shared-folder/) but the upload is far simpler.
If you insist of using a remote image you will need to understand security policies (CSP, XSS etc.) which aren't OBIEE specific but standard web server
I have an issue with Ves Contentslider of VenusTheme as it dose not load properly on backend. It still works fine on front end but we cannot do any configuration as it's control panel does not load the content. This is pretty weird as we have not changed any thing in our site recently. Please have a look at the screen shot below to have better understanding. Thank you in advance.
Screen shot
I just fixed this issue and thanks to the Venus Theme team for the quick and accurate suggestion. I did compress the js&css files and it stop the website rendering the js&css codes properly. That is why the configaration panel did not load on the admin site. So, I just need to go to the back end and navigate to Configuration/Advanced/Developers/JavaScript Settings(CSS Settings) and chose No option for the Merge JavaScript Files(Merge CSS Files). Then everything work perfectly again. This is good to know when we consider compress our CSS and JavaScript files. Cheers
I'm creating some project using HippoCMS 10 and I need to add RichText editor as part of the page, so that customer can use it and fill something there. This editor must act exactly the same way as in Document Editor (customer can click Image button in toolbar and select image from ImagePicker dialog box).
Can't find anything about it in HippoCMS official documentation. I learned how to create custom plugins and how to integrate CKEditor into page separately, but for image picking, I need default behaviour as in Hippo.
How can I achieve this? Any help will be appreciated!
I think your question was answered on the community group. The answer there was:
"it should be quite easy to have a CKEditor in the website.
However, it doesn't really make sense to me to have site visitors able to pick CMS documents and images from the site. The picker dialogs are designed to work inside the CMS only. You should be able to create your own picker dialog that can read from a REST service that exposes the images/documents.
I don't think it will be possible to reuse the CMS picker dialog in the site."
and
"your use case is fine, when I said "it doesn't really make sense", I was really referring to the technical limitations of the pickers. You should be able to achieve what you want with a custom dialog that plugs into a REST service though. Unfortunately there is no quick solution for this that I can think of."
Just adding this for future reference.
I have to use Adobe InDesign for creating documents. We basically need to have a couple variables throughout the document (company name, project name, etc) that need to be filled in.
I was wondering if there is a way to take an existing template and maybe programmatically fill these in using a language I'm comfortable with (Ruby, Python, etc). I have tried to open the Adobe InDesign file using a text editor - but when I make modifications using Notepad++ and then open the file in InDesign, it tells me the file is corrupted.
If you have any insight with programmatically building InDesign documents or know of any tutorials that would be much appreciated.
P.S. I tried to check out Adobe's ExtendScript but wasn't finding much documentation applying to InDesign.
Thanks for the help!
There is no (legal) way to do this in Ruby/Python. Theoretically it is possible to edit InDesign documents directly using any language but:
It's nowhere near as easy as just making some text modifications, you would have to figure out more about the format, and
It's in direct violation of the InDesign license agreement meaning you could face legal action if Adobe finds out.
ExtendScript is perfect for doing small things like this. If you open up ExtendScript Toolkit and set the target to InDesign you can browse and search the entire API easily. Doing search/replace for simple text variables is not hard at all.
An alternative would be exporting the documents to the .idml language which is easier and legal to edit outside of InDesign.
You can use the DataMerge-feature of Indesign --> https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/data-merge.html
I think this is exactly what you are looking for.
Or you can use the Indesign API. Have a look at Extendscript-Toolkit especially the ObjectModell-Viewer.
You need to convert your .indd file to .idml and unzi it.
In /Stories/Story_*.idml you may found all text variables.
And no easy ways to change text variables in .indd without Adobe products.
I am building a PHP application where the user upload Powerpoint files. I want the other users to view it online instead of downloading. (Using a third party apps like google docs might be a little cumbersome for the users) Is it possible to write a powerpoint viewer code in PHP?
You could automate the process of using google docs with php.
Google provides a ppt viewer that can be embed into webpages using the following code
<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.domainname.come/presentation.ppt&embedded=true" style="width:550px; height:450px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Now im assuming php handles the uploads your users make, thus it would be easy to find the url to the specific ppt file. You could store this url either in a variable or a database, fetch it when needed and place it in the code above.
I hope I have been able to explain the logic im trying to apply, do let me know if you need more specifications.
I suspect it would be much easier to reduce the powerpoint slides to .PNG files, and build a simple PHP script to cycle through the images.
You want to re-write Powerpoint in PHP? I'm gonna say... very difficult at best. There are, however, tools out there that make your life easier. Also, there's a "Save as web page" option in Powerpoint, so maybe you could have your uploaders save the powerpoint as a web page, and upload that output, which I would imagine would be pretty easy for you to subsequently put up on the web.
Alternatively, if you're feeling more ambitious, you could read up on the Google docs APIs, and possibly create a portal to upload to Google docs for the contributors, and view Google docs for your visitors. Your PHP frontend could leverage the power of Google docs, but eliminate the cumbersomeness (I'm kind of surprised that's a real word).
"Is it possible to write a powerpoint viewer code in PHP?"
Yes. Unfortunately, if you are asking this question, you probably won't be able to do it yourself.
If you want to try it anyways, here's a good place to start:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc313106(office.12).aspx
Or you can look for a library that does that. They are probably out there, just Google it.
EDIT: Found one here:
http://phppowerpoint.codeplex.com/
Powerpoint files can be embedded on a webpage using the API provided by Microsoft.
