After basic knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS and Jquery, I got myself into WordPress. In order to save time and not build things from zero, I would use pre-made templates, and modify them according to the built of the desired future webpage. There might be a huge misconception in my head, but so far I havent found reply for this solution.
I have a locally running WordPress webpage with the help of WAMP. My webpage would consist 3 separate HTML files, lets say "index.html, contact.html, about.html". My issue is that after generating those pages in WordPress, I dont find any way to modify the HTML file of those sites. Nor locally in my computer, nor in the surface of WordPress. I found the "editor" function in WP, but apparently it lets me to edit only the CSS file.
My main goal is to generate the file with a template, than import it to BRACKETS / ATOM / etc and custom-shape the HTML and CSS on it. What am I missing ?
Thanks,
Wordpress only has templates it uses according to the type of content (page, blog post or any other custom post type you define in the theme) requested. All your actual data is stored in the mysql database. This data is retrieved and inserted into the template and then the generated file is sent to the client. So, you wont find any .html files in the wordpress core. My suggestion is to view the source in the browser, copy, paste and edit in your favourite editor.
I think you are using HTML files as a template which are not dynamically converted into wordpress theme. that's why you can't edit these files. You need to follow these steps.
1. your index file must be in index.php not index.html
2. style.css file with valid codes and most important thing is you need to know wordpress theme development. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-files/ This will help you

I'm using electron-build to transform a "website" into an "app" and it's pretty awesome! But the compilation process obviously transforms the HTML pages into other types of files.
Is there any compilation option, flag or anything that can allow me to keep the html files and resources so that a curious user can click on index.html and use the app in their favorite web browser?
I havent found anything, so I'm considering simply copy pasting the source files in the output folder, but that's a lot of duplicate data :)
Thanks!
I am making SharePoint spaces for various departments in insurance company. One of them wants to save and share their outputs via SharePoint. That outputs are maps with risk areas. Because maps includes many data layers, all the files are in one folder.
I have uploaded a folder with CSS, JSON, JS and HTML files to the library in SharePoint, but when I doubleclicked on HTML file, the page will not load. I think it's due to the JSON files.
What I need is to run whole page correctly with simple doubleclick.
Can anyone give me advice how to run other files supporting HTML with doubleclicking on HTML file?
Thank you.
I've had this same issue. To get the HTML to play in the browser (without SharePoint trying to make you download it), you need to rename the HTML file to an ASPX file.
To do this, you need to be in the Windows Explorer view (from a document library, go Library > Open with Explorer). Then change the file name from index.html to index.aspx.
However, if you're also using JSON files, that could be an issue. SharePoint prohibits you from uploading JSON files unfortunately.
When I create a new .sikuli file, for example Dummy.sikuli.
It will create a Dummy.py and a Dummy.html file in this .sikuli directory.
If I add new code to Dummy.py, it automaticly updates the Dummy.html as well.
But what exactly is the purpose of that html file?
This html file is only created when you save a script using Sikuli IDE. Originally the intention was so that users can share their scripts on the web (have a look here). Not sure if many users do that however.
I'm new to Joomla.
I'm having a small doubt coming to creating Joomla templates. In the file structure provided by joomla I can see only index.php file. My doubt is can we create a Joomla template using HTML also. so that in the file structure it reads index.html.
Thanks in Advance and Merry Christmas.
It is important here to distinguish between "can" and "should" here. I believe you "can" make a template in an html file without losing all of the Joomla functionality because Joomla places modules using tags like <jdoc:include type="modules" name="user4" /> which it will parse. I'm not positive, but fairly certain that the template does require a php to bootstrap it, but you could just have the php file include the html you want to use. The major drawback is that you will be losing all of the php helper methods that Joomla makes available for you, like JURI::base() for dealing with paths for your scripts/css, etc.
You definitely should take advantage of Joomla's capabilities with php, so use the php file. If you want to include some html files into that document, that's just fine.
I don't think you can do that. The index.php file you are referring to is the root index file, while each template has its own index.php file inside their folder inside templates folder. For example templates/beez3/index.php Joomla includes the index.php file of the chosen template during it's execution cycle. Failing to find such a file it will fall back to a preinstalled template throwing an error: The template for this display is not available. Also the frontend requests start by loading the root index.php file first and then proceed to other calls and <jdoc:include type="component" /> won't load anything as it won't have any framework loaded or any joomla functionality at all. Finally no extension will work since they all require the _JEXEC constant to be defined as it's being defined in the root index.php file:
/**
* Constant that is checked in included files to prevent direct access.
* define() is used in the installation folder rather than "const" to not error for PHP 5.2 and lower
*/
define('_JEXEC', 1);
It must be written in php and you can certainly keep your theme that you created within the template folder, as for keeping .html you can always use htaccess to serve whichever extension you want.
I have created a rrdcgi script to display information about the system performance with graphs. Now I would like to add an option for the users to create PDF on the fly with the details on current page (images and information) and header and footer. I also want the generated PDF files to be saved in some location so that that can be easily accessed next time. Is this possible to do with rrdcgi or any Perl code would be really appreciated.
I need this options
You need to consider what you want to put in the PDF: Do you want an exact replica of the web page the user is viewing (too hard to be close to impossible without having the user's browser installed on your side and using its print output) or do you want the same information in a roughly similar layout?
An important issue is how you are generating the HTML: I did something similar once to generate PDF receipts for experiment participants (now, I just output HTML with print styles).
The HTML is generated using HTML::Template although Template.pm would be just as fine.
It is then trivial to write another template, one that generates a LATEX document which can be processed using pdflatex. If you save the data the time the snapshot is requested, you can add the snapshot to a queue that generates documents asynchronously so that requests do not tie up the web server.
Update: Looking at rrdcgi, I now realize that it already does use a template. That is perfect: Instead of putting HTML in the template, put LATEX code in the template and run rrdcgi with the --filter option to create a LATEX source file which you can run through pdflatex. I guess the problem to solve there is to be able to use the exact same data that was used to generate the page the user is looking at.
If it is not possible to re-run rrdcgi with the exact same data, consider adding some JavaScript that submits the HTML source of the page the user is reviewing (or some JSON representation thereof) to a CGI script that parses the HTML and outputs LATEX. Writing clean HTML in the original template and judicious use of class and id attributes would help there.
I do not have time to test any of these ideas right now, but I will take a look again within the next couple of days.
Is it worth the effort?
Why don't you add a FAQ explaining how to setup a PDF-printer on Windows/MAC/Linux and provide a 'clean' page that can then be printed?
Since you apparently have to create the PDF,
take a look at this (what-is-the-best-perl-module-to-use-for-creating-a-pdf-from-scratch) post here on SO.
There is also this post, that could combine the 'clean' HTML page and a server-side print.
Regarding the LaTeX route, if you have rrdcgi generate graphs in pdf format, pdflatex will be able to integrate them directly into the document, producing super quality pdf with graphs ... very slick. Sorry, no code.
