Is there a place (website) where I can the the standalone parts of jQuery Mobile? I'm interested in the radiobutton.
I don't want to use jQuery Mobile as I'm already using jQTouch.
jQM is now decoupled:

Widgets: Now decoupled for flexible builds
We’ve wanted to decouple all our widgets from the page plugin for a
long time now and we’re happy to announce that we finally landed this
change. So what exactly does decoupled mean anyway? Well, the
individual widgets and utilities have always been broken out into
separate script files. However, the page plugin was responsible for
handling the auto-initialization all of the official plugins found in
the markup at page creation. This situation made it impossible to
remove plugins you don’t need without causing errors, and generally
set a bad precedent for future widget additions.
Now, pretty much all the UI widgets in the jQuery Mobile library are
completely decoupled so they can simply be deleted if not needed for a
particular project. This change allows you to dramatically reduce the
size of the library by only including the specific set of widgets or
features you need, in addition to the handful of required, core files.
While we still plan to do more decoupling and cleanup, the following
files are now decoupled and can safely be removed from the make file
before you do a custom build:
page header/content/footer
collapsible
controlgroup
fieldcontain
fixheaderfooter
button
checkboxradio
select
slider
textinput
links theming
listview
navbar
grid
We will work on a dependency map because a few widgets rely on others
to work. For example, the button markup plugin is called by many of
the widgets above, so it can only be excluded but if you’re not using
any of the widgets that depend on buttons.
We’re still working out our recommendations for mapping plugin
dependencies and decoupling things even further. Ultimately, this will
be surfaced in a download builder tool, so stay tuned!
You can head over to their GIT Repo and just download what you want:

I know that this question is not more coding based. But this can cause many problems practically.
I have a website with 10 pages. Each page has the same navigation. Now if I want to change the navigation a little to include a hamburger menu, I will have to make this change in each page one by one. Is there any way in which I can make this common change to all the pages at the same time?
I browsed for this on SO but the answers to a similar question asked to use PHP or WordPress. Is there any method or tool other than them for my requirements?
With HTML, I don't think there's any support for that kind of dynamic feature yet.
However, if you seek to want to make changes on a portion of your website and see it apply to every other page on your website that has the same portion, there are frameworks, libraries and even template engines that support such.
You may need to use HTML alongside these tools or just use them to replace HTML. For instance, when building a website with Node and Express, there are a good number of template engines that you can make use of that can be used alongside HTML to make your website dynamic. I would recommend that you try out one of the following: pug, ejs, handlebars. I believe you can achieve that level of dynamism with one of them.
You can also decide to use front end libraries or frameworks like react, vue and angular. These tech tools enable you to create a portion of a website(called a component) once and reuse it on as many pages as you want. Anytime you make a change to that component, it automatically adjust itself on every other page it has been inserted.
I have been developing a VueJS website for a few weeks, and realised my design skills were not good enough to design a proper landing page. I came across this stunning Bootstrap open source template and really would like to use it.
However, I would like to stick to VueJS since I need it for some other dynamic pages. What would be the best way to integrate this template into a VueJS component? It uses Bootstrap and a bit of JavaScript as well. I know of Vue Framework such as BootstrapVue, but they would require rewriting the whole page using its custom components (such as b-nav or b-nav-item).
I have tried just copying and pasting the HTML into a component but I then have the problem of the CSS and JavaScript. Is using a bootstrap.css file in Vue JS a good practice ?
I am not asking anyone to do some boring job for me, but it seems to me like tweaking such a template so that it fits to a VueJS component always has some side effects, and I wanted to make sure there were no easiest, more elegant and reliable solution for this.
The whole point of BootstrapVue is to drop Bootstrap's dependency on jQuery.
It only uses Bootstrap's scss and the jQuery part is replaced with BV's own JS (provided via Vue components).
At first glance, it doesn't look like that would be your case, since you want some additional jQuery code (the theme's own JS) - currently written in jQuery.
However, when looking closer, the theme's own jQuery script is quite small. It basically does three things:
routes the page URLs when you navigate between sections (which could/should be replaced by Vue Router calls in your case),
implements scrollSpy (which has a Vue alternative) - it does it for the same purpose - knowing when to change the page URL,
implements magnificPopup (which also has a Vue alternative).
So it looks like the jQuery dependency could be fairly easily dropped, provided it's replaced by Vue code.
You basically seem to want a Vue variant of the Bootstrap theme. Or, to be more exact, a BootstrapVue variant of it.
If we were to look for the best possible candidate for the job, it would probably be found somewhere in the pool of Vue or BootstrapVue experts, as well as the creators of the Bootstrap theme (chances are they shouldn't find BootstrapVue difficult to use - considering the quality of their template).
Whether or not this is a job fit for your abilities is a question only you can answer but, unless you're purely interested in the functional part (getting the job done[1]), it is definitely a good opportunity to learn more about both Vue and Bootstrap.
To provide a helpful estimate, a senior FE developer would take anywhere between 8 to 20 hrs to create this template, provided they know Vue.
[1] Getting the job done with the least amount of effort would mean to simply inject the entire template as a page into your existing Vue app, making sure you import everything it needs (jQuery, jQuery.easing, Bootstrap, magnificPopup & scrollSpy) - roughly estimated at ~4 hours - could be less but you have to account for testing and any potential bug fixing.
I strongly advise against this approach as it's likely to significantly increase the size of your app while reducing its scalability and flexibility. This approach produces applications nobody wants to touch as, in time, the probability that any modification will break some existing functionality increases exponentially.
Since SO questions are supposed to take no longer than 15 minutes to answer, it should be obvious none of the above described tasks is feasible as a Stack Overflow question. Besides, you need to show some of your own coding effort up so far and provide a minimal reproducible example.
Does anyone know if I can integrate GrapeJS into my own website so clients could build their own websites using it? IF anyone has done this, how easy is it and are there downsides?
This question is pretty open ended, but I'll take a shot at it.
The short answer is yes, you can use Grapesjs to allow clients to make their own sites; however, the details matter.
Grapesjs by default doesn't know anything about your stack, website structure, metadata, etc. You will need to either supply plugins or implement those features yourself. I've worked on a project for a company that used Grapesjs to implement single page apps and I'll include just some of the tweaks we had to manage.
Hiding certain layers that only confuse average users.
Hiding pretty much all of the styling, and using traits to allow people to pick from some predefined styles.
Take the html, css on store and generate the final html page, and store it in our static serving folder on the server.
Implement a wrapping "App" component that has traits for the different metadata we want users to control (open graph metadata, title, etc)
and those are just the big things, I'm sure I am forgetting several small ones.
For your application, you'll also need to implement a custom trait for links / buttons that allows you to link from one "page" to another. As well as, a way to allow a user to pick which page to work on.
The long answer is Yes, but Grapesjs is only the starting point.
Yes you can.
However it is not straightforward.

I have made a couple of simple Joomla websites before. Those are using a custom template made by myself. They are easy websites as they have a simple linear menu, all pages have the same layout, just some articles are changing between pages.
But in my new project, I have a ready html website that I have to convert to Joomla. The problem is, there is no one repeating menu and there is no consistent layout. To simplify a bit: there are 10 pages and they all have different layouts. Between pages background changes, menu position changes, menu content changes, content box positions change, everything changes. This means I'm not able to do this site as I've done before, using one template index.php which simply contained my repeating page structure.
I am dreaming of a way to simply change ready_page1.html to ready_page1.php, adding some modules inside the php (which are then available for online editing, which is the reason switching to Joomla). I would do this to each page. The custom menus inside each page I would "manually" point to the according php files instead of the old html files. Is this method possible somehow? I couldn't figure out how to do this.
I don't care loosing lots of Joomla basic functionality due to this crude method, I just want the simplest way to do this.
In the end, I just want the exact same website I already have on html, but I want some chosen rectangular areas in the html pages to be editable Joomla modules. The modules would have the pen icon for editing. That's it, no other functionality is necessary.
Sounds like the site you are converting is a usability nightmare. Consistency is part of giving the user a positive experience. That said, if you have to make it exactly the same, then the easiest way is to do it the right way to begin with.
First, you need to learn about page class suffixes. You can add those to a menu item so that you can control the CSS on a per page basis. This will allow you to change backgrounds and other elements on each page.
Documentation - http://docs.joomla.org/Page_Class_Suffix
Next, you will need to make a template so that each of the module positions is collapsible. If you plan out the positions, you should be able to use a single index.php for the entire site. We have a custom template that we use for every site we do and it rarely needs to be touched because all of the positions we would possibly want to use are already there, they just don't get used until a module is put in the position.
Documentation - http://docs.joomla.org/Collapsing_columns
You will also want to make sure you understand menu assignments. You should be able to assign the modules to the pages as needed to create the layout you want for each page. If you are using 2.5.x, then you can probably get by with the built in menu assignment features. If you are using 1.5.x then (you really should upgrade) you will probably want to use Advanced Module Manager as it makes menu assignments much easier and more flexible.
Documentation - http://docs.joomla.org/Help15:Screen.modules.edit.15#Menu_Assignment
Once you get a good grasp of how Joomla templates work and how they are supposed to be used you will find that you can basically do anything you want within the framework so you don't lose any functionality.
build your website and create those 10 pages (contents, heirarcy, and so on..).
then create your templates based on those html files. this is where you adapt the html into a joomla template. after this step, you should end up with at most 10 templates depending on your styles (crude but quick)
as far as i know and from the documentation, Joomla 1.7 supports "template per page" (see the screenshot). you can pick out which style will be applied to which item. it even applies to subpages. another documentation here
I have made a css3 based light box, basically it applies css3 rules to certain DIVs and makes them pop out with animation etc. I was thinking into turning this into a wordpress plugin, but it turns out wordpress uses slightly diferent coding language for its plugins that I am not comfortable with. So I would like to ask if anyone knows any easy ways to turn usual html/css3 code into a wordpress plugin?
HTML and JS are the same in WordPress plugins as they are everywhere else, but there are some (mostly PHP-based) conventions that a plugin needs to follow.
The central docs on writing plugins is in the WordPress Codex: Writing a plugin.
If that's too much stuff (most of it arguably won't apply if your plugin will work in the frontend only, and need no server-side coding) maybe take a peek at an existing WP lightbox plugin. You may be able to learn from them how they integrate into WP, or even copy parts of it.
