In my Rails webapp I would like to have a view that only gets its css from a specific css/scss file. I have tried several suggested solutions on here but none to my avail.
However, would I be able to place the example.css.scss file outside of the assets/stylesheets directory and restrict the view file example.html.erb to the example.css.scss styling only for example.html.erb?
From what I understand by reading rails asset pipeline all files in the myapp/app/assets directory inherits its css rules from the application.css file and as well the corresponding css file when the controller is generated creating a view file, css file, etc. etc.
I've created a webapp using Ruby on Rails. The app is almost done and is staged. I had an idea that a landing page would be a nice opener to the webapp.
My goal is to create a landing page for webapp. The landing page consists of a background image with a text centered link, which I would like to link to the home page of the webapp and not receive any styling from the application.css file.
Basically I want this view file to have nothing to do with the application.css file.
Thanks in advance.
While there may be reasons to use a totally different css file that's not part of the asset pipeline (e.g. landing page working while rails is restarting, keeping landing page lightweight, etc.), my guess is that you're more motivated by getting something to work.
I'm assuming you've got styles for most of your app that would conflict with the landing page, so if the styles from app apply also to the landing page, the landing page looks funny, and vice versa. So my guess is that you're looking for a way to have some styles apply to the app, and other styles apply to the landing page.
For this, I would first of all bypass your regular layout - see bypass application.html.erb in Rails app
Then, I would update your regular layout to somehow indicate that it is the app and not the landing page. There are any number of ways to do this, but I might do the following:
application.html.erb:
<body class='app'><!-- etc. -->
landing_page.html.erb:
<body class='landing_page'><!-- etc. -->
Then, in your scss files, update it thus:
application.css.scss:
body.app {
/* All your regular app styles */
}
body.landing_page {
/* All your landing page styles */
}
Of course you can split those into multiple files, etc..
TL;DR
Unless you're running into loading time issues or you have some other reason why you really really don't want app styles loading for the landing page, then just put it all together but scope the styles so that they don't apply when they shouldn't.
You are already working in the Rails domain, so it would probably be easier to continue to stay in that domain.
In my opinion, the best/easiest thing to do would be to create a welcome controller. Create an empty index action in the controller and a view for that action. The view you are creating seems rather simple, so you can just prefix the class/id names (which don't seem like many) with welcome_ and this will differentiate them from your normal class/id names. The link for the homepage text will point to the index action of that particular controller.
Then you can create the root route in your routes.rb file to point to welcome#index.

I like to know how you would go about creating a home page in plain html and have WordPress run the other pages?
The reason is I’d like to create a solely plain html website but I need WordPress for my contact page it has a large form on it and I use a plugin to generate it and forms are a bit beyond my knowledge at the moment to create a contact page myself.
(I have tried creating a template page but then WordPress adds unnecessary code [from plugins ] and makes the AMP invalid)
Honestly I'd try and keep it self contained in WordPress itself.
If for some reason you really want a separate HTML/PHP Homepage, follow these steps:
Add a my-homepage.php file to your /wp-content/themes/ACTIVE-THEME directory
Inside that file put the following code:
Add a new page (Pages > Add New)
Give it a recognizable name like "My Homepage"
In the "Template" selector on the right hand side, pick "My HTML Homepage" and click Publish
Go to Settings > Reading, change Your homepage displays to A static page and pick the page you just made
Now you can add your own code as you see fit. Nothing "WordPress" related will get loaded or hooked in since there's no functions on that file - so you're free to code HTML (or PHP) to your heart's content.

I want to implement static HTML website with multiple languages using Hakyll framework. I didn't come up with better solution than just put default language under website.com route and any other custom language at website.com/en route. Because I'm using static HTML and having multiple languages I should have multiple versions of every page, for example about.html. Such pages are generated automatically, so that's not a problem. But currently I have a problem with jumping those pages...
I have such link in my website.com/index.html:
<a href=about.html>
When I open this link from website.com/en I want to jump to website.com/en/about.html instead of website.com/about.html. But in reality I'm jumping from website.com/en to website.com/about.html. If I instead jump from website.com/en/index.html I go to website.com/en/about.html as I want. So I'm inserested in one of two possible solutions:
When I go to website.com/en I want to be redirected to website.com/en/index.html. I can see content of index.html from website.com/en but somehow I can't jump to relative link :(
Replace href=about.html with something more smart so I can automatically go folder/about.html from any folder.
Any help appreciated!
I have a scenario in which I want to test four different versions of a page, each with different javascript content loaded in the HTML head section.
I would like switching between the templates to behave as though the page has been re-loaded, clearing the state and re-running the JS in the head and body of the HTML file.
Can I do this with four different Meteor templates?
The way I'd do this is to append the JS to the head from within the template's onRendered method, like so:
Template.templateName.onRendered(function() {
$('head').append("insert your script here");
});
So I'd keep the default head free of any of these js files, and just add them in depending on what template the user is on. You can also manipulate the user experience from within the onRendered method as well, using things like $(window).scrollTop(0) to make it appear as though the page has refreshed.
I'm working on a company site that's hosted on a separate server from the main site. So, for example, I'm working on guest.company.com, and the main company website is www.company.com, and the two sites are hosted on different servers (and different development solutions).
The project I'm working on has a copy of the css from the main site, and has a shared layout with html copied from the main site. This shared layout is used for the top and bottom (header and footer) of the site I'm working on. However, I don't want to use a copy of that layout and html -- I want to actually pull in the layout & css from www.company.com so that when a change is made to that content on www.company.com, it's reflected on guest.company.com.
So, for example, the bottom "footer" area of www.company.com is contained in a footer html tag, and I want to display that content on guest.company.com.
How can this be done in MVC4 EF?
There is no quick fool-proof way to do this.
The quick way to get the HTML is making a webrequest call from your code and get the html and take what you need from it (i.e. header and footer). Have a look at this msdn link for an example of how to perform this. With that, you don't need "the other side" to do anything.
Having said that, it's potentially more complicated than that. As mentioned in the comments, css path should be made absolute. But there could be images (both within html and css). Also, if header and footer run any javascript, they need to be included in the page as well. You could of course include every single JS file that is referenced in the www.company.com page but there are sometimes JS run on the page. Your webrequest call wouldn't run the JS. In order to make sure all the javascript is run and the FINAL HTML is produced, you can use PhantomJS.
As you have probably noted, it could turn into a lot of work depending on what's on the header/footer. In my experience, a potential solution would be to have an FTP location that www.company.com copies the header/footer and their assets in. You can pull it from there every 24 hours or something.
I have made a homepage in Joomla 2.5, and I need my front page to be different then the page made in Joomla.
My best solution then, is to make the front page in pure HMTL, and then redirect to the site made in Joomla. Is this possible? or is there an easier way to do it? for example with a plugin or something?
Create a custom html page and create it an article and then assign this article to front page. In this way you can display your custom html page to hope page of joomla.
Further if you want to remove even the headers and footers of the joomla page for home page this can be done in various ways
Make module positions and display the header and footer in it an
then in admin do not publish these modules for home page
We have
variable in template index.php which give us flags weather this is
home page you can use this flag and put a condition like if this is
home page dont display the header and footer.
Hope it will help you.
I can't really understand your question. If you want to load HTML only use custom HTML module rendered in your homepage
What are you trying to achieve? Without knowing more, I have two thoughts.
a. Joomla uses index.php. A lot of the time web servers look for index.html first. So if you create an index.html file and upload it to your root folder, it will display that first and not read your Joomla! site. If that doesn't work, check your web server to see the order that it looks for your start page. That is a setting that can be changed. (Depending on your hosting situation)
or b. You can set different templates for a single Joomla! site. you could set a different template for the homepage compared to the rest of the site. (I just need to know more on what you are trying to accomplish)
Have a great one.
