I bought the O'Reilly Dojo book by Matthew Russell. It says "in your toolkit checkout, you can find a theme tester at dijit/themes/themeTester.html.
I downloaded 1.3.2 from here: http://dojotoolkit.com/downloads
and cannot find such a file. I would like to see each of the three themes in action.
How can I do that?
Thanks,
Neal Walters
themeTester isn't in the release (minified) version. You need to download the *-src ones. For example this one: http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.3.2/dojo-release-1.3.2-src.tar.gz. These are available off of the 'More downloads' link on the downloads page.
Besides what Wahnfireden said, you can also check out Dojocampus docs. It has examples embedded where you can dynamically change the theme applied to individual widgets (as well as change the version of dojo that is used). For example, dijit.form.Button has a bunch of examples to look at.
Dijit Theme Tester
Another great place to test out Dijit and DojoX widgets is to look at their tests. Dijit tests are here, and DojoX tests are within each individual folder here.
Note that these links are to the nightly build, not 1.3.2, so there may be small differences. I'd suggest using the Dojo nightly though, personally.

I understand that CKEDITOR doesn't work on smart phones. Someone provided a workaround that required editing the ckeditor.js. The statement he said to look for isn't in my copy of ckeditor.js so I'm stuck.
Also, ckeditor.js cannot be easily edited as it is all strung together in one big line. Is there a way to 1) get a copy of ckeditor that can be edited and 2) what do I have to do so it can be used on smart phones
Thanks in advance,
Paul
CKEditor 4 is compatible with mobile environments - refer to the official compatibility documentation. If you are using some antique version like CKEditor 3 (that predates most mobile environments), upgrade to latest CKEditor 4.
ckeditor.js is minified for better performance on production environments, but you can grab the source version any time directly from the GitHub repository or through CKEditor Online Builder (check "Source (Big N’Slow)" at the bottom).
I wrote a Javascript (jQuery) plugin. Now I want to write a documentation site for it. Is there a good tool to create such a site out of some offline file formats or works like a CMS?
I know this answer has been asked before, but the last answers are from 2011. Is there anything new that does an awesome job in writing documentation?
There are a few new tools for generating websites or blogs from code/directory.
Bootstrap v3 just switched to jekyll for documentation. jekyll knows how to process Markdown or Liquid (markdown flavours)
Grunt.js is also used for all sorts of automated task. One of these being documentation generation. Search their plugin list for doc
assemble.io is another tool for generating documentation pages
I'll extend if I bump into others. I am not sure if this is exactly what you need, but they are general purpose so I am sure a jQuery plugin can fit in.
I've been looking around at some CSS frameworks and I really like the look of the Groundwork CSS framework because it has a nice responsive layout. However I downloaded the source code and I'm a bit lost. I'm used to using Twitter Bootstrap and and I really love it's documentation (the instructions on scaffolding are helpful to beginners), bit I don't really know how to use Groundwork.
How do I get started with using the Groundwork CSS framework?
Groundwork, like Bootstrap, is a web-development framework, not just a set of CSS docs. They both include a set of style-sheets, java-script files, misc icons etc, and one or more HTML docs to bring it all together.Installation is simple; download the framework, rename the folder to "MyCoolNewSite", start editing.
As Michal stated, the "index/html" doc that comes with the framework has lots to look at to help you get started. They also have what looks to be pretty solid documentation on their site, starting here: http://groundwork.sidereel.com/?url=grid
The site has now changed to: http://groundworkcss.github.io/
I'm playing with Joomla 2.5.9 (The latest 2.X download). Do you know how you can add additional menu's to the "Article Manager: Edit Article" page? (This is in the Administration)
Their API gives me some hint on several things but I am don't know what this right "Slide Down Option Area" is called in the Administration.
In the right area there are things such as:
Publishing options
Article Options
Configure Edit Screen
Images and Links
etc..
I want to know where to start to add my own, or where they are already built in the system so I can base mine off it -- Is this a plugin, module, or something else? :)
As i say don't change any of the core file in Joomla. If you want to add any functionality into the article manager you can make your own plugin to add functionality in it. For doing this see this link :
Creating a content plugin
I hope this is what you looking for.Good luck.
There are some extensions that allow you to do that.
I recommend (although somewhat buggy and a code mess) this one:
FieldsAttach
It does exactly what you want.
Or, you could make your own as Toretto suggests, there are some tutorials on creating a plugin for extra items in the article form, but the already-made-extension route seems to make more sence.
I've been using FieldsAttach for this sort of thing, for a few years, the code is often a little messy, that is true, but the the concepts are clean and eloquent. Brian Teeman explains it well from an integrator point of view in his talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2WLKWbRj5U but in some ways it is even more compelling from a developer's perspective.
However, after watching Marco Ding's Joomla Day UK 2016 talk on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDh1IPuZAVA I think DPFields may be a better choice. The architecture is perhaps more rugged and neater, but also because it may well end up being a core extension in Joomla in the near future. More info on DPFields is at http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/dpfields , https://joomla.digital-peak.com/products/dpfields and https://joomla.digital-peak.com/documentation/162-dpfields .
basically, my question is pretty much similar and has been asked numerous times. Which WYSIWYG editor is better now that Telerik has released their MVC editor, would it be wise to purchase the entire suite instead?
Selections:
TinyMCE
CKEditor
Telerik MVC Editor
Disclaimer: As part of the Telerik MVC team (and one of the editor developers), my opinion is quite biased, yet I can shed some light on the differences between the editors.
All of them are open source
Despite Todd's answer, the Telerik MVC editor is open-source, under GPLv2 license (with a commercial license available). Our support is well known, so I guess this is where we stand out (though it is paid). On the other hand, both TinyMCE and CKEditor have huge communities, which may help quickly, too.
Different feature set
This has been the first release of the Telerik MVC editor, while CK and TinyMCE have been around the block for a very long time. We have mixed feelings about this -- while we are missing out on quite a few tools/features, we have invested a lot of time in polishing the existing ones (converting list items to headings, pasting from MS Word). Our bet is on cleaner, more robust code (4k LoC vs 14k LoC in TinyMCE without plug-ins).
It depends on your requirements
After all, with the Telerik suite, you get... well... a suite of components with common code and themes. So if you need the dedicated support and the other components and the limited feature set does not make a difference, Telerik would be a nice choice. If you need a full-scale editor and want to bet on more feature-complete products, TinyMCE and CKEditor are the wiser choice.
I hope this helps and does not contain much happy talk.
Some Background:
While there are some very good third-party components for ASP.NET I tend to stay away from them for the open source alternative. The reason goes back to an issue I has with a chart component a few years ago. It had a bug that the company would not fix in the current version and instead wanted us to purchase an upgrade while not guaranteeing that would fix the problem.
They did offer a demo that we could not use in production (which was the only place we were getting the problem) so the problem continued until the component was replaced.
My Answer
From My experience I would recommend going with the open source alternative. I have used CKEditor and TinyMCE with success in PHP projects. CKEditor can be styled nicely and TinyMCE has tons of documentation from the millions of people who use it daily.
The greatest benefit to open source is being able to change the code to meet your needs or fix a problem specific to your environment.
My last ASP.NET MVC app required all components to be open source for the same reason as mentioned above with the end result being more stable than the previous that included some purchased components.
Hope this helps.
Wordpress uses TinyMCE, so I am very familiar with using it (though getting it to look like wordpress is a little bit of an undertaking).
I have successfully implemented TinyMCE into 2 of my Asp.Net MVC websites with very little effort.
As with any, there is a ramp up time, but TinyMCE has never disappointed me.
We are using CKEditor_3.x in our MVC 2 app.
It works great.
On save:
Just 1 important note, in your CKEditor config file be sure to set:
config.htmlEncodeOutput = true;
Or you will get an error message.
Later on display
You will need to decode is like:
<%=HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Description).ToHtmlString())%>
Good luck!
