Most badge creators just creates static image and force us to download the graphic. shields.io is only for projects. We need to show dynamic badges with just a number on it on our articles pages in our mediawiki. Mediawiki has an extension which uses OpenBadges for users only, but we need to show badges with only numbers on it on our mediawiki articles pages. How is it possible?

These days, I decided to abandon WordPress and create my own website through Bootstrap3. But, I stopped in a point where I could not add new posts without manipulating an html page (to add a new title for my new article) and link it to another html page (where the whole article is). I asked a few friends who are much better than me in web development, and they told me the only way to make a new post is through making and uploading a new html page to your server.
So, is what my friends told me true?
There are a few websites that get updated every week like this one here: https://pythonprogramming.net
Does the website's owner append new html pages only to his website? That is impossible!
So you dicthed a CMS and created a static website which should act like a CMS?
Wordpress is a CMS, Content Management System, which for example gives you those dynamic links after you create content in the Dashboard.
Bootstrap is a framework which gives you the building blocks to create a template but it doesn't have any automation etc. what comes to publishing content.
If you're using static pages, ie. index.html & news.html, you need to create a new file for every new page (article) you're about to publish, ie. news-article-1.html and link to that file from the news.html. That's where your friends are correct. If you're planning to create a complex website with tens of pages & articles I'd recommend using some CMS, Wordpress is good for that. If you can't find a theme you like you can always create your own.
You can always build your own simplified CMS with dynamic links etc. but why bother when there's dozens to choose form.
The page you're linking, Python Programming, is using a CMS. I would guess one built with Django because of the folder structure.
I want to show the article views for each of my blogspot article. For now, I can show only Total PageViews in my blog which is the count of views of all my pages but now I want to show view of each article. Is it possible in blogspot?
By default, blogger doesn't have the option to display post views to public. It will only show the total blog view count. But, you can still see it in your blogger dashboard.
External widgets are available to serve your needs. You have to add external scripts to your page to show individual post views. Add any one of the external widgets available,which is suitable to your requirements.
Mediawiki has the great {{Special:Recent pages}} template that you can transclude to just show a certain number of pages. However, I'd like a simple list of the latest pages created by users to display on the home page. Is there a way to do this easily? Perhaps something with the dynamic lists extension?
Have you looked at answers to this question ?
Embedding Recent Changes on Main Page on MediaWiki
You have several options :
The Dynamic Article List extension
The News extension
Use the Semantic Media Wiki extension and query your pages using the Modified Date property
I'm playing around with adding some Facebook Open Graph meta tags to my web site, to help with Facebook sharing of my website content.
One of the tags is this:
fb:admins or fb:app_id
A comma-separated list of either Facebook user IDs or a Facebook
Platform application ID that administers this page. It is valid to
include both fb:admins and fb:app_id on your page.
Questions:
What is the importance of this property?
Administers what page?
Why do we need to administer some page?
I already answered on Facebook Dev Forum :
As described here : http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Your page will appear in the "Likes and Interests" section of the user's profile, and you have the ability to publish updates to the user
Without this property you'll loose admin right on the Open Graph Facebook Page
Yep, when users likes your website's page, it'll generate an Open Graph Facebook Page :
When users will try to go on it (by cliking on publications, or searching), it will redirect to your website's page.
To publish status updates to users news feed, create events, or add pictures related to this page.
Also, having admins or an app_id means that the insights for that web page will show when you are logged in as that user, or looking at that app's insights. It is important to link everything together properly so you get a full overview of your interactions and users etc.
I am trying to use Joomla to create a website that allows users to do the following:
submit links to external html
search through the external websites based on category, rankings, etc.
display the websites in multiple iframes simultaneously ( like google gadgets)
limit access to certain external websites by user
customize users homepage (like igoogle)
I am trying to pull the right joomla plugin and component pieces together.
For i-frame display I am looking at:
http://www.joomlaclub.gr/joomla-free-downloads.html?func=fileinfo&id=46
http://www.cmsmarket.com/extensions-directory/external+content/frames+%26+external+html/praiseframe+module
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-&-design/popups-&-iframes/3116/details
Can you think of any extensions, plugins, or components that would help me build the aforementioned functionality.
Thanks
By default, Joomla allows users to submit a link after they register / login.
Make sure the 'login module' is published. Then in the Menu Manager, User Menu, make sure the menu items for submitting links are there.
I'm not really sure what you mean by 'search through the external websites based on category, rankings, etc.'
Displaying the web sites in multiple iframes simultaneously could easily be handled by publishing modules which contain iframes in the postion you desire.
In Joomla 1.6, still in beta, there is a fairly robust ACL. But in 1.5, you'd need to use some extension. I've had good luck with the ACL component CorePHP sells.
Good luck with your project !
