I need to generate gift vouchers from PHP code and was looking at PDF libraries to accomplish this. Stumbled upon LiveDocx http://www.livedocx.com/ which looks like an excellent service and then found http://www.phplivedocx.org/ which looks like the natural choice for PHP. Problem is I'm using Zend Framework 1.6 still. Is there a way to get phplivedocx to work with Zend 1.6 or is there another template based php generation library that I can use?
Any other suggestions on accomplishing my original goal of generating vouchers is welcome although I must say that I've gone the programmatic approach before using TCPDF. It works well but is just too much work to get nice pdf design.
I ended up generating an HTML file and converting it with the wkhtmltopdf (Webkit HTML to Pdf) tool: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
If using a WYSIWYG editor to generate the HTML then I guess one is almost at the kind of functionality that livedocx brings i.e. to allow templates to be created with an editor.
The zend framework is loosely coupled. You should try downloaded the latest copy and placing the Zend_Service_LiveDocX folder in your Zend library in the Zend_Services folder and if you have autoloading enabled, your application should be able to find it and use it... it's worth a try and certainly a better idea than sourcing another third party application. I too have used all the various pdf libraries out there for php and you know what, I hated every one of them.

This may seem like an odd request, but I'd like to know a way to convert a .chm file to .hlp. Is that at all possible? If so, is there any method I can follow or software I can use to achieve that?
I'm not sure if there are automatic converters for this.
There are CHM decompiler tools, should not be hard to find. This will give you a bunch of HTML files and perhaps some topic/index files. Even the official Microsoft HTML help workshop can help you with this.
To create a .hlp you need to (manually?) convert the HTML files to .rtf if you want to use the official Microsoft compiler. You can probably find it in older SDKs or here or there.
You have to ask yourself, is there any point in doing this? The .hlp format is no longer supported and Windows has not included a viewer for a long time.
If the help file belongs to an application instead of a generic manual or book then there are other things you need to deal with, a different API in the application and you need to port over all topics so they retain their correct id etc. If the HTML included Javascript then you might have a hard time porting those features.
If you are looking for a generic tool, Halibut can generate HLP, CHM and PDF from the same source files. Requires its own input format though.

I am writing a Laravel application. this application needs to a CMS.
my application have something like user membership,newsletter emails, authentication,advanced searches etc, depend on posts.
a CMS can not handle my application alone.
I need to an extendable CMS that resolves my requests.
I saw October CMS gallery and I think it is for blog or simple sites not an extendable application.
What extendable CMS or package (in Laravel) can resolve my requests?
I think all you can do it with OctoberCMS, it is not pure CMS, it is developer first CMS, you can extends this as you want, there is no restriction in extending this, as per my opinion, all things you can do with laravel is possible with OctoberCMS.
Please double check its features https://octobercms.com/features
what you can do is you can keep Laravel and OctoberCMS in one project, for CMS part use OctoberCMS.
October is pretty much amazing. I think you can do anything with it. When I saw their website the first time on a recommendation of a friend I also saw it as a simple CMS - but look at the documentation- and resources-page: You can create your own plugins, it has a very intricate and easy to understand databse-handling that also manages complicated relationships like "many to many polymorphic" and there is an easy way to create backend-pages that contain forms with those relations. In my opinion its really amazingly thought through and it can serve as CMS-part for almost anything.
i heard talking about Platform by cartalyst but i never try it.
take look if you want and i think it responds to your needs.

I want to generate API documentation for my open source project on Github. I'd like to create them automatically from my XML Documentation Comments in my C# projects. My feeble googling has turned up bubkiss. Is there a way to do this?
I'd prefer it be in Github-style Markdown.
Here's an online C# XML doc to Markdown converter: http://varus.io/vsdoc-2-md/
It is based on #formixian's algorithm.
After searching around a bit, I found this gem of a gist:
Generates Markdown from VS XML documentation file
It prints to the C# XML -> markdown to the console. I'm sure it can be refined further, but this is a really great start. I've tested it, and it's totally working.
I ended up using Sandcastle to generate plain HTML and using that. Inevitably, I'll just write my own parser or a custom template for Sandcastle.
I didn't like the learning curve for Doxygen or QDoc.
I would recommend Doxygen. By configuring Doxygen using the configure files and XSLT you can pretty much do anything with it. http://www.doxygen.nl/
Set the source files and output in the configuration files, then use XSLT to customize the output.
For Doxygen there is a parser tool (http://code.google.com/p/doxygenxmlparser/) already prepared to do much of the work with C#
if(youDoNotLikeThisIdea == true)
Another tool that is highly configurable would be QDoc (part of the Qt API) # http://qt-project.org. Of course, using QDoc would require you to build Qt and QDoc in particular.
Good luck!

I have a blog on Wordpress in which I need to serve contents in several different languages. I don't want to translate the articles, I just want to have some in each of the languages and just have a way of switching between them. I was looking for a wordpress plugin that allows such functionality but so far I found only xLanguage but it's not what I intend to use if for, although it's pretty close.
What this plugin allows is to have a contents in the post that is localized for one specific language and it's not displayed in other languages. However it's main flaws are
you cannot translate post titles
if I define the post in just some of the languages my site supports the post will appear blank (I would like that it won't appear at all in this language)
Does anyone knows if there is a plugin that I could use or I should start thinking of developing one myself. As I mentioned I don't really need a translation functionality, just the ability to mark the post to appear in only one selected language.
I guess I could also set up several instances of wordpress, each for every language but then I will need to replicate every configuration change in all the instances and that's something I would really like to avoid.
Update
Actually I just noticed that I can hide untranslated messages by specifying a parameter in options but there is still one problem.
The rest of the page (links, other text generated by Wordpress) doesn't get translated while switching the page. So I have my contents translated by still see default language in navigation etc.
Gengo looked interesting, but development seems to have stopped.
But the qtranslate plugin (author's page, plugin page) offers the things you need. It not only manages article translations but also switches the complete site (“user interface”) language.
Articles (including titles) can be stored in several languages. If you need a translation elsewhere (i.e. a widget title), you can use special markup (language tags): <!--:en-->english<!--:--><!--:de-->Deutsch<!--:-->
I'm still testing it myself, but it mostly works alright. There may be surprised (e.g. date fields), so better test it on a offline copy of your site.
Also, check this older stackoverflow question
I have built several multilingual sites and I use the WPML plugin and have found it to be best option out there. http://wpml.org/

After seeing a friend using RapidWeaver and producing wonderful results in a few clicks, I was astonished and started searching if a tool like that exists for Windows. Unfortunately, so far my search yielded no result, so I'm writing here the criteria I'm using hoping that anybody will come up with a relevant suggestion:
WYSIWYG HTML editor
Must work (well!) on Windows (Vista/7)
Must not be web based (I don't care about webapps allowing me to create sites off of crappy templates)
Template-based (and possibly with many templates available)
Pretty flexible (nothing like Dreamweaver, but I wouldn't like being stuck with just entering text into some prebuilt templates)
Intuitive (and possibly good looking) UI
Producing standards-compliant markup (office-like HTML is not an option)
Here is what I don't care about:
Price/License (if it's commercial it's probably even better for my purpose, as if the tool is good I will want fast, quality support)
Good code editing features (when I'll get my hands dirty with the markup I want things to be looking already pretty good so I'll just have to improve certain areas based on my requirements...)
Server-side scripting (I'm handling that otherwise, for this tool I just care about the design part)
Here's a list of commonly recommended tools I consider unfit for my needs:
NVU
KompoZer
Microsoft Expression Web
Microsoft Visual Web Designer
Adobe Dreamweaver (good, but too good for my needs. At this stage, I'd prefer something quicker, even if it means having lower quality html)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Probably too late, and not sure if this helps you anyway:
