Edit / personalize PirateBox's HTML file? - html

So I have made a PirateBox, but I wish to make edits to the HTML file - to give more functionality and a new look to the webpage. I am confident that I can edit it - but I can't find it. I have looked online and on this site for answers, to no avail.
An additional inquiry: Do I need to re-flash the router / firmware once I edit the HTML file? This question really isn't too much of a concern at this point, though.
Thanks to all that can help me out!

So I found a great guide to personalize the PirateBox - including the HTML file. Here is the page.
To quote the page:
Change the index.html page
I don’t really like the index.html page as it does not show the files available, more over the english language is not adapted of every one, so I prefer a frame organization mixing files, local text and chat area.
The index.html file can be changed by replacing it: create a new one and copy it to the following place: /opt/piratebox/www/index.html
It also includes a guide to change the SSID and the Chat settings.

Add html to a site in a site (proxy)

I imported a web proxy from github known as rhodium on to replit, and, after some editing was satisfied with the results, but i cant seem to add HTML to a site that is proxied. Example: You use rhodium to navigate your way to www.discord.com, but you want HTML added to the page, "yourdomain.example/service/https://discord.com/". I looked at the files and online, but I wasn't able to find a way to edit the index.html of that specific page, but frankly I am extremely new to html. (and to a lot of things web-development).

Any help available?
Based on what i know, you can't. Because of the security parameters. You can't attach or redirect a website which isn't on the same directory/server.
You can, however redirect to that site, inside or outside, freely.

Why isn't my HTML page loading completely?

I recently started my first HTML project with the help of Youtube. I'm a beginner and only saw the basics of Javascript in college.
Just finished writing my HTML project and wanted to upload it for free using Google Drive and drv.tw.
The only problem is that certain images and icons do not load (irregularly) enter image description hereand/or the pages on the navigation bar take too long to switch.
My question would be, is it because of the free domain or did I do something wrong in HTML?
When I open the HTML file in Safari everything works fine.
Since I'm new to the community, I don't know exactly what and how much I have to upload to get help. So have mercy on me :'D.
To help troubleshoot, use your browsers "developer" (F12) mode. Look at the Network view to see why the images aren't displayed. For example: It might be "not found", "not authorized", or other reasons.
From your comment, it would appear that at times the page is rendering before the images are available to display or something else is limiting image files from being presented at all.
Once we know why the browser can't display the images, then the cause can be addressed.
Post the .html .js and .css code
Please update your question and show the folder structure. It should look something like:
-site-
|
-js
-css
-images
Copy and paste in the code below the folder structure and list the images and their size.
I am not familiar with google drive's capabilities.
It is important to use a web host. There are plenty of free or low cost sites available, so I won't go into it.

How can I access/edit the HTML file on Shopify?

I know this is probably a very basic/obvious thing, but I'm new to Shopify and trying to assist a client while a colleague is on vacation. I know what I need to change and how to change it, but not how to access it. When I go to Online Store and click Edit Code, I see all the Liquid, JSON, and even CSS files, but I can't find the HTML file I need to edit, nor can I find any of the HTML I need to edit within the theme.liquid file. The resources I'm finding are all either outdated (there is no "Edit HTML/CSS" option on the dropdown anymore) or unhelpful (like this). I can see the HTML in the console and upon clicking View Page Source, but I don't know how to get to it through Shopify. I feel like I'm losing my mind because this HAS to be very simple and obvious. If someone could please tell me how to access and edit the HTML file on Shopify I would be VERY grateful!
The html files are the liquid files.
There are no actual HTML files since this is a Shopify theme.
Depending on your theme, your files are located in:
theme.liquid - here are the header and footer
templates/*.liquid - all liquid files here are the main templates for the different pages
sections/*.liquid - the files here are usually used on the homepage and other pages as well
snippets/*.liquid - these are the reusable code snippets
So depending on your changes you will need to go through these files and update them for the specific changes.
Please have in mind that these files may be used on multiply pages and if you change one of them there is a possibility that this will affect other pages as well.

How do websites keep the header on every page if the header is in html?

So, I'm trying to make a website, but the problem is I can't find the most effective way to keep the header on every single page. My header is HTML code, and it is the most important source of navigation on the website. The tabs navigate using links to other HTML files (all located locally on my computer) and so every single new page is another separate HTML file. Here are the many different methods I used that all fell short in one way or another:
The most basic way: Copying the header code to EVERY HTML page on the website. I am currently using this method, and it is probably the most ineffective and stupid method ever. The downside (which is pretty obvious) is that not only is it tedious but every time I make a change to the header (like maybe add different menus, add another tab, change the image, etc.) I have to copy the new header code to everything else. That is ridiculous!!
I tried using the w3schools method of implementing a separate HTML file (with only the HTML code) onto the page HTML files. So, I have this 1 HTML file for the header that every page uses so I make a change in that one file and it automatically applies to everything else. However, it didn't let me organize the numerous HTML files effectively because unlike referencing a stylesheet like some file named 'style.css', it doesn't let me put the HTML sheet in a folder that doesn't share the same parent folder as the referencing HTML page files. Hopefully that made sense, but basically, I couldn't get a folder that separated the HTML menu tab files ("pages") and the HTML content files ("posts") without the w3school code failing. Here's the link: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_html_include.asp
I've seen other options on Stackoverflow, like getting around the "can't implement HTML files" by using js files with html code in a document.write(), but this to me is very hard to use because of all my progress so far. Also, I am very uncomfortable with the idea of using document.write because it is probably still very different from a true html file. Seriously, why is there no HTML implementing system that stylesheets and scripts have??? (script src="b.js" script and link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css")
Using jQuery. I understand this the least (being an amateur programmer) but I've heard it isn't consistent either. It doesn't seem to work on a local file, and that sounds like a nightmare. Though, if there are good suggestions, having a jquery file tag along seems not the best solution but still a plausible solution.
So, I'm in great trouble. How do other websites do this? Do they use different files??? Do they use PHP files?? Am I going to have to scrap all my hard header HTML work and styling because PHP is another language?? Do I have to use Angular.js??? This is so complicated!
Hopefully, this question made some sense. Please ask if you have questions. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
After checking numerous other posts on Stackoverflow suggesting PHP, I got my HTML files and then renamed it from "index.html" to "index.php", and holy macro it actually still behaved like an HTML file even if it wasn't!! Now I need to find a way to put:
include("header.php");
into my page PHP files that are actually in HTML code to reference a separate PHP file that has my header. How do I do that? Does it belong in like script tags or something? How do I add PHP code in a PHP file written in HTML code? Thanks for the answers to my previous question, I'm so sorry I should've read the answers on Stackoverflow more thoroughly first.
So I know it's been awhile since I asked the question and probably nobody cares anymore, but I just want to post an update after finding a solution to my question about using php code and how it all works.
First, I learned that in order for this to work, all my files had to be in php format. So I pulled up my folder of my local HTML files and literally just renamed it from something like "index.html" to "index.php". Then, without changing the HTML code, I opened it up in my browser and it was like nothing happened, except it was better! Now it can not only read HTML and style and script codes, but also php codes as well! I added:
<?php
include("header.php");
?>
to the top of my index.php file, for example, and then converted the rest of the files into php format like I did for this. I copied over my header html and css code and saved it in a separate php file in the same folder, and - there was no header. I was confused. What?? Why is it not doing anything? The header.php itself is working, why is the include function not??
Then, I learned that this php include code can't be executed on my local drive, so it doesn't work on my local drive but works when it is public and on a real website hosting service. I then installed XAMPP, which is a commonly used PHP development environment that is an Apache distribution and is totally free. It runs a sort of local hosting service that will support this php code and cause it to execute the way I intended it to. I'm sorry I'm not good at explaining how this works, as I just find it and use it. Anyways, XAMPP did make the php code included above actually do its job and I finally got the header-system I always wanted. Happily ever after, right?
Nope. Now that fundamental stuff is gone, I have to face other problems like formatting (a real pain in the a** considering how I have to find css problems in tons and tons of overlapping code), creating an entire personal search system (having to figure out how to make a php file actually use my brand new MySQL database, which is also run by XAMPP), and lots of other things. But, that sounds like a great adventure that I am willing and definitely eager to go through. Now, finally I am done blabbing for the day...I wonder how many hours of other people's time I just wasted.
Oh yeah..I forgot to mention, happy Fourth of July! (and happy birthday to the beloved Captain America)
Using JavaScript and jQuery is a very easy way to accomplish this. First, just build a sample JavaScript file. Inside, make functions that are run on page load. For example,
function buildPage() {
var html = ' ';
//Build the html through the function
//In the end...
$('html-id').empty().append(html);
}
This way each time the html is built you can just empty(clear whatever is in the id 'html-id') and then add your specific html. For example,
<html>
<head>Put header here!</head>
<body>
<div>Put tabs with onclick events here</div>
<div id="html-id"></div>
</body>
</html>
Each time a different tab is clicked, the buildPage() function should be called in order to build the page accordingly. No multiple html headers needed!
Write something like that
<html>
<head>
<title>First page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include ("header.php"); ?>
<!-- rest of your code -->
?php include ("footer.php"); ?>
</body>
</html>
It's recommended to do with that way. Wordpress is working like that too. Include files to main php file.
**Notice all your files have to be .php
Maybe this can help:
Include another HTML file in a HTML file
You can make one header.html and include it in all other html files of your website.

Use environment variable in link in email

I want to generate links that can be pasted in emails so I can show people folders in their directory structure such as where to edit their email signature manually.
I'm trying to put a link to the folder in an email but make it generic enough that when they forward it, everyone who opens it will get the link into their own directory structure properly so I need to use environment variables.
I type the text I want the link to say then highlight and CTRL-K then put %CSIDL_APPDATA%\Microsoft\Signatures\ in the link but Outlook changes my % symbols to %25's. I'd ask how to escape a % but it shouldn't be escaped I don't think since it's actually part of a link.
Environment variable list FYI:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560744(v=ws.10).aspx
Simple answer, you can't. When you're linking like that, the current directory looks like root / to the html. So you could look at a subfolder of current directory (which you aren't guaranteed to know since it could be different on different OS's or even per user configuration) but that won't really help you.
This project will let you edit the actual HTML of your email by adding an Advanced tab but even with full control of the HTML, it can't be done. "It would open up a security hole the size of Denver."
Here's a lot of quality info on Relative Addressing which is what you're trying to do.
this is because outlook parse your input as HTML link.
I did not test it but you should give a try to this file://%CSIDL_APPDATA%/Microsoft/Signatures/
