Hi I am currently working on porting over an application to a new server and I each time I move the application to a new directory I have to manually go in and change all of the img, src, and script tags within the html pages. This is becoming very tedious because there are over 30 different pages.
Is the anyway to create a configuration file that holds global variables that can then be included at the top of every HTML file? For example, if I change the path to a script, the only change I would have to make is in the configuration file and not every separate html file.
edit to clarify:
Currently I have hard coded scipt/img/scr tags that look like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/app/returning/html/returning.css" />
I was hoping I could make the href value a variable in a separate file that can be included at the top of every page and it would look something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="(variable from configuration file here)" />
You can create another javascript file with an object with all settings/configurations, and include it in every HTML page.
Something like:
var settings = {
applicationName : "TEST",
IsInDebug : true
};
I want to generate a pdf (an invoice as letter) out of a twig template. The template uses a css and contains a header with a logo (png-image) and a footer, which should appear at the bottom of the document.
I tried it with the KnpSnappyBundle, but this doesn't work (css only works inline, images are not rendered..., etc.). Are there any other tools to generate a pdf?
With Java I used jasper-reports (really cool), isn't there anything similar for php?
I have used KnpSnappyBundle to generate pdf before, and it worked with external css files, thought there's is some diffrence bettween regular tempaltes:
When linking asset you have to provide absolute path:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/css.css', null, true) }}" />
I didn't needed images files, but I think it should work the same, also you need to use "renderView" method instead of "render".
$pdf = $this->renderView('**:**:tempalte.html.twig', array());
After that you just simple use:
$file = $this->container->get('knp_snappy.pdf')->getOutputFromHtml(pdf);
The answer is: The server startet via
php app/console server:run
is single-threaded, so there is no chance, to get a response, when requesting an image or css-file...
I'm not sure if I'm going about this the right way, however this is what I need to do. I have common .tpl.html files that I want to use both for an angular template and a template to generate a static .html file. What I want is a system (grunt-related) that will take the junk in .tpl.html and insert it in a outer .html file and create a static .html file.
For example, say I have:
stuff.tpl.html
<div> I want this stuff in my overall template </div>
stuff2.tpl.html
<div> I want this stuff in my overall template to create another html</div>
outer.html
<head>
stuff
</head>
<body>
{{insert}}
</body>
where I can make stuff.html (or stuff2.html) by inserting stuff.tpl.html (or stuff2.tpl.html) into outer.html.
I know how to do the angular side, just not the static side.
If I'm not mistaken you need to concatenate multiple static files in to a one single file.
You can use grunt-contrib-concat to do the job. See the below link grunt-contrib-concat
If you need to implement the template with angularJs, you can use grunt-html2js which will convert your static html to angular template. Then you can use grunt-contrib-concat to concat all the angular template and create one js which you can add to your index.html subequently.
Hope this might help you.
To apply a CSS to an existing html page I need to add a link that links to the css file, I am asked to include a link in the webpage that I am building that would link to the same html page but with a different css file, I am thinking I need to create a different css file, then create another .html page by copy the exact content from the first page and only change the link of the css file, but it doesn't seem so efficient and I am assuming there should be a standard method to do this.
thanks
you can use a JAVAscript to documet.write a link
If you can use a server-side language like PHP, I would do it something like this:
<?php
$allowed_stylesheets = array("red", "white", "blue", "green", "mobile");
$default_stylesheet = "red";
$stylesheet =
(in_array($_GET["stylesheet"]) ? $_GET["stylesheet"] : $default_stylesheet);
?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $stylesheet; ?>">
you would then be able to call your page, and switch the style sheet like so:
www.example.com/page.php?stylesheet=mobile
note that to make a .html page run in PHP, there is probably some server setup necessary, by default only .php pages are parsed in PHP. Depending on your situation, that may be too much hassle than it's worth. However, I don't know any pure HTML way of switching style sheets reliably.
Also, this way, you will have to repeat the style sheet command every time you call the page.
I'm sure this topic comes up all the time,
But I can't seem to fine a concise answer.
I've got a vertical menu bar that I want to reuse in webpages (>20).
The Menu Bar is coded in HTML and uses uses: UL, LI, A, <Div> tags, and CSS. We need this:
Reusable
Maintainable
Scalable
So we don't have to modify all pages every time we add a page.
We'd rather avoid a coding approach if possible. We could live with just one master file that we edit as needed. Since we're using CSS and <div>s, I don't think frames scale for us. What can we do?
Server side includes are the way to go if you don't want to use a programming language.
They take this form:
<!--#include virtual="menu.html" -->
and will be inserted in the page wherever you put that tag in your HTML. It requires server side parsing, so your web server must have server side includes enabled. You can try it out, and if it doesn't work, contact your server host to see if you can get them enabled. If it's Apache, there's a method of enabling them via .htaccess files as well.
In order to do this, you'll have to use some server side technology. For instance you could...
include them in php
put them in the master page in .net
put this in a partial or a layout page in rails

Another solution would be to create all this using Javascript, but please don't do it like that :)
html:
<script type="text/javascript" src="hack.js"></script>
<div id="mymenu">
</div>
hack.js:
function createMenu(){
$("#mymenu").html("all the html of your menu");
}
Without any server side script or Javascript you can use object or iframe tags.

The only thing to care is to indicate target="parent" in links.
Hope it helps
Using a w3 script..
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="http://www.w3schools.com/lib/w3data.js"></script>
<body>
<div w3-include-html="header.html"></div>
<div w3-include-html="nav.html"></div>
<script>
w3IncludeHTML();
</script>
</body>
</html>
header.html
<h1>Title</h1>
nav.html
<h2>Your nav</h2>

And don't forget to test this code on your localhost.
I've done this two separate ways - one using server side (PHP) and one using Javascript includes (for demos that need to be able to run without any internet connection or server capabilities).
For PHP includes your pages will have to end with .php rather than .htm or .html, and these are very ideal to replace your header, footer, navigation, etc. Anything that is repeated on multiple pages.
Basically you would create your normal code then copy and paste the code you want to break out - in this example, your navigation - and save it in another file called (for example) inc_navigation.htm (this page can be called .htm).
Then in your actual pages you'd use the following code:
<?php include('inc_navigation.htm') ?>
That would insert your navigation at that point, if you had a change to make you'd make it to the .htm file and it would propagate to any page with that included.
For javascript includes you will have to include the following line at the top of every document where you want to include your navigation:
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes.js"></script>
Then you'll create a document called includes.js.
At the top of this document you'll declare your navigation variable:
var navigation = new Array(); // This is for the navigation.
Then a little ways down in that same document you need to actually outline your navigation code (the line numbers in the square brackets are crucial - keep them in order and start with 0 - you cannot have line breaks in this code so every line of code has to be a new line):
// ==================== Navigation ==================== //
navigation[0] = '<div id="tab_navigation">';
navigation[1] = '<ul id="dropline">';
navigation[2] = '<li><b>Home</b></li>';
navigation[3] = '<li><b>About Us</b></li>';
navigation[4] = '</ul>';
navigation[5] = '</div><!-- Close TAB NAVIGATION -->';
Then a little ways after that you'll actually insert the javascript that will put that code into your page (it doesn't actually put it there but rather makes it accessible in the page without actually altering the code of the .htm page - so if you view source you'll see the reference to the code not the code itself).
function show(i)
{
for (x in i)
{
document.write(i[x]+'\n')
}
}
Finally - in your .htm document, say for your index.htm page, you'll replace your navigation code (that you put in the above block called navigation) with this:
<script type="text/javascript">show(navigation);</script>
Where that name after SHOW and in the parenthesis is the name of your variable (declared earlier).
I have sites showing both methods in use if you'd like to see them just send me a message.
I was facing the same thing. Then, I created a new file for storing the html of the navigation bar.
I created a file navbar.html which had all my navigation bar code.
Then, in your main html file where you want navigation bar, just include this file by using jquery.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#navigation').load('navbar.html');
});
Then at the place where you want navigation bar, just add this line:
<div id="navigation"></div>
As a modern answer to a six year old question: Web Components are specifically reusable HTML components, and Polymer is possibly the most popular implementation of it at the moment. Currently virtually no browser has native support for Web Components, so at the very least a Javascript polyfill is required.
If you would use PHP, all you have to do is use the include command, no coding beyond this one command.
Also, check out server side includes
So far one of the best solutions I have found is to model the menus after the Son of Suckerfish XHTML/CSS solution that is pretty well documented on the internet now combined with some logic on the server to render the unordered list. By using unordered lists you have a couple different options on how to output the results, but as long as the menu has some basic hierarchy you can generate it. Then for the actual page all you need to do is include a reference to the menu generating function.
I was searching for a way to write a reusable navigation menu that toggled(show/hide) when clicking a button. I want to share a solution that worked for me in case anyone else is looking to do the same. This solution uses jQuery, html, and css.
Add this line of code to your head tag in your main index.html file:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
Add div for your nav in body tag:
<div id="mySidenav" class="sidenav"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("#mySidenav").load("nav.html").toggle().width("400pt");
});
});
</script>
Create a html file that will be where your navigation menu resides. My file is called nav.html and inside the file the contents look like this:
have you found your one true musubi?`
item2
item3
