Integrate HTML Help into a WordPress site (or similar)

Folks,
Has anyone ever had any success integrating a HTML Help into a WordPress site (i.e. search)?
We are building a customer support community and WordPress looks like the current favorite platform.
We would like users to be able so search and be presented with relevant:
Help posts
Forum topics
Pages
Blog posts
etc.
All suggestions most welcome!
Thanks,
Donal

Hi there
If you have access to the WordPress site via FTP or means other than the WordPress front end, it shouldn't be too bad. Just copy the output files to the site and create a link from one of the site pages to the WebHelp or other start page.
I used to be involved with a church web site that worked that way. The main site editor didn't understand WordPress, so there were many pages she edited outside of WordPress and used DreamWeaver to do it. The site was a mish mash combination of odd pages.
Cheers... Rick

Can web pages generated with Muse be integrated into a wordpress site?

Can web pages generated with Muse be integrated into a wordpress site?
Can sites/pages generated with Adobe muse be published through word press?

Muse is static HTML, WordPress is a PHP-based CMS. Neither has anything to do with the other and depending on whether you use a pre-hosted WordPress install it may not even possible to include any static HTML nor modify the WP theme. Otherwise your static muse site would simply be a sub-domain/ sub-section in a separate folder that can be linked from the main WP install, but beyond that they don't interact.

Converting my site into my wordpress site for my blog

Hi I'm having a lot of trouble converting my site www.dor2dor.com into a wordpress site so I can use it as my blog. To be honest I haven't got a clue what i'm doing here as I don't use wordpress.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

If you really want to transfer everything to WordPress, you will have to create new Pages (as opposed to new Posts) and transfer your copy and images from the current site to each of the corresponding WordPress Pages you create. Having taken a quick look at your website, however, why not keep your current set up? A much less time consuming solution is to make the blog link much more prominent throughout the current site. As it is now, it's buried at the end About Us.

Including html code into my iWeb site

Hi,
I would like to include googles Analytics tracking code to my website. In order to do this, they say I have to
"Copy and paste the code segment into the bottom of your content, immediately before the </body> tag of each page you are planning to track. If you use a common include or template, you can enter it there. "
What does that mean? And can I do that in IWeb?
Thanks for a reply,
Anne Wertheim

I'm not totally sure what you are asking, but I do know this> Go to Insert: HTML Snippet... copy and paste the HTML code there...and it should work.. .just about ANY html did it on mine.
Even the counters...but now I'm hosting with mobilme... propietarty, but works.... try it.

Trying to embed HTML Gallery into existing page

I made a small collection in Lightroom and have exported it as an HTML Gallery. I already wrote my site in Dreamweaver, and want to embed this HTML Gallery right into the site -- but everything I have tried comes out wrong. (Results include _nothing_ or a grey box, or a zoomed-in version of the collection with no visible navigational controls.
It's important that my pre-existing CSS and HTML stay intact. I can't imagine that Adobe is giving us these export capabilities, and then not allowing us to retrofit the HTML Gallery into our own sites. Has anyone succeeded in doing this?

The standard LR html gallery is always crashing Dreamweaver CS3 on Mac. So no chance to edit there.
I have no problem embedding using the SimpleViewer gallery using Dreamweaver. Here's a really rough draft of a website I'm building with SimpleViewer embedded:

Here's info to help with embedding into an existing html page:

I haven't had a chance to embed slideshowpro gallery...but their forums are very helpful. Here's a gallery not yet embedded:

Writing Html Content into PDF using JSP

Dear All,
I am using JSP to generate Employee payslip dynamically. Presently i am diplaying payslip as on-screen display.
Here i want to give option "Save as PDF". I am able to create PDF file using IText Libraries. i want to integrate HTML code into the PDF file.
Writing HTML Content (using HTML Tags) into PDF.

Well it is a difficult ask and i believe we are trying to re-invent the wheel
Just to make my life simple i could have choosen either sample API given below to serve my cause
1).[http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/] (Apache FOP one can simply write an XSL template of their and then substitute the values from respective DTO's by using XSL - XML transformations and can generate content in different formats which includes PDF aswell)
2).[http://jasperforge.org/plugins/project/project_home.php?group_id=102] (Just design a simple report template using iReport and create a jrxml files and write a small code snipett such that you can pass few details at the runtime and can export the report in different formats which includes PDF aswell)
3).[http://www.object-refinery.com/jfreereport/] (Is much similar to what jasper offers in order to compile these you can either use pentaho product IDE or BEA/Oracle Actuate report tools)
You can simply try searching for different examples for getting more help on using the respective API's
Hope that helps :)

Output File for HTML Help

I have created an HTML-based Help in RoboHelp. The output file was a *.chm file. The development team is indicating that the *chm file is not what is needed, and that they need an *.htm point/base file to integrate the Help into a web-based application. Is this correct? I thought that was a requirement for Web Help, but not for HTML Help. When integrating an HTML-based Help into a web app, is the individual *chm file the only file that needs to be handed off to development?
Thanks for any help.

Hi there
The .CHM file format is for locally installed applications. WebHelp and FlashHelp are intended for being placed on a central server and accessed from there. WebHelp and FlashHelp exist as a collection of loose files.

Integrating a Wiki into a larger site

Apple's wiki is neat, but what if you want to integrate the wiki into a larger site?
The problem is, once you enter the wiki, there is no way to get back to the main site.
Is there an easy way to add some "main site" integration features, so that pages when created can include the main site's navigation features, or at least a icon and link back to the "home" page?

You can do this via a custom theme. The simplest approach would be to override the current theme you're using and use JavaScript to insert the necessary navigation.

Edge animation in Wordpress site slow to load.

Hi clever Edge people.
I have an (simple) Edge animation I am putting into a Wordpress site but it takes forever to load when looking at the site on a browser - trying it on ipad, Google chrome, firefox, and safari. The .oam file is 1.9mb. Is that big?
Here is the link (site in development so kinda messy!):
http://everywhereyougo.co.nz/2012/11/shakespear-regional-park-2/
How does it load for you? Any clues about why it is slow?
Thanks!
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
first of all thanks for using EdgeSuite for wordpress. Did you use shortcodes? Would it be ok to use your site as a reference for edge suite, I would list it on edgedocks.com if you would agree?
Now to your question: By looking at the network traffic you can tell that your homepage is more then 3.1MB big, thats quiet a lot. Use google pagespeed extension for chrome, yslow for firefox, the network tab in firebug or just http://www.webpagetest.org to get an idea of what's going on.
For example, the three icons FB, twitter, vimeo are each 500KB big, so these three icons are already have the size of your page. That is one thing to fix, but probably not the only reason for your composition to load slowly. You are using a lot of small assets, it just takes some time to load these. Does the composition load right away locally? If you want to further reduce loading time you could use spritesheets. You can combine small images within a bigger image and clip the focus when using the image as a backgound for a div. And try to reduce Photo1 2 3, each 150KB big.
What about adding a preloader for the animation, the then user at least knows that there is more to come.
Just suggestions.

Embed EA into WordPress site.....EdgeSuite no longer works

I'm trying to embed a brief .an preso into my clients' WordPress site. In the past, I'd use the EdgeSuite plugin to assist me with this, but since this latest update, it no longer allows me to use it. Even the plugin author has said as much.
So now I'm trying to do it the old fashioned way of just moving the code over to my theme's index.php and header.php. It's just not working. All I get is the preloading circle and that's it.
Unfortunately, I cannot show you the example, since it's not public just yet.
I created a folder on my server called 'edge' and placed all my files there. Then I took the code the .html file produced and placed the scripts into my header.php (altering the references to point to the new 'edge' folder) and then the div holding the animation into my index.php since this is just for the homepage of the site. Nothing else.
The tutorials to show how to do this online are out of date, so I'm just looking for some help on the newer way to incorporate EA into my WP.

I am seeing your issue. We had an issue with a script being called twice, which in most browsers the same script being called twice in a page would just run the Script. For some reason Firefox did not allow the script to run because it was in there twice. PLUS there was an issue with the Script being INSIDE the body tag.
You could try, if you know how to edit your Wordpress templates, to try to move your Javascript to inside the <head> instead of inside the <body> tag. I know this is not ideal because of page load issues, but this may fix your issue in Firefox, assuming you want it to work in Firefox.
There seems to be a bug, from my experience so far, that Firefox does not like "inline" Javascript and is breaking the Javascript when other browsers render it fine.
I see that a call to eva() (in your cforms.js) is being used and it is being blocked by CSP (Content Security Policy). Which looks like Firefox added something in the Browser that blocks eval() from being used. Typically eval() is considered unsafe, BUT typically still runs on other browsers, seems like Firefox just breaks the code if it finds it.
You may try to use a different forms plugin too instead of cforms.js because of the eval() method being used.

Dw cs5 with existing wordpress site hosted on yahoo need help connecting to existing remote database

I am having trouble establishing a database connection. I can connect with test databases but am having trouble using dreamweaver wtih my existing wordpress website. Am I able to use dreamweaver to edit and live view my changes before uploading the changed files to my live site? Am I able to access my existing wordpress database with dreaweaver? I have imported it to my testing server/database but still seem to be having trouble establishing a connection with it (think maybe my folder hierarchy might be off).
macintosh HD/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/nwm/wp/index.php
"nwm" is the name of the folder that I have copied all of my site files to and the folder I have dreamweaver pointing to. "wp" is what I have all of the wordpress files in (the ones I copied from my yahoo server - including all my current theme files etc.)
I am trying to put the info into the mysql connection dialog box:
Connection Name: Testing (i am assuming this name is for my benefit only and doesn't actually matter)
MySQL Server: mysql
User Name: *****
Password: *****
Database: wp
and am getting this message
MySQL Error#: 2013
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error 61
did some google seaches of the error. Tried turning off the firewall, and the advance tab allow mysql incoming (there were 2 one was allow one was not allow. I changed both to allow)
Cant really find anything on yahoo to help me out. Looked in phpmyadmin database named wp: wp_users to get the username and password (which due to previous look for help - I think the password was encrypted cuz it looked like a bunch of mumbo jumbo and am fairly certain I know the correct password).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I spent $50 on live chat last night trying to resolve the issue only to find out at the end that the guy really didn't understand my problem and doesn't have dreamweaver. I have also watched countless videos on Lynda.com and have been thru forum after forum. While this problem is only a couple weeks old since I just got CS5. I have been having trouble making any headway learning php since I cant seem to make it past the set up parts. I have done the php / mysql essential training on lynda.com with relative success except that I really dont want to work with any more exercise files so I didn't go on to the beyond the basics. I recently went thru most of the Dreamweaver CS5 and Wordpress 3. Also did the first 4 chapters of Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and MySQL. I need to start integrating things into my live sites. I am also trying to work my way thru the learning php, mysql, javascript book by o'reily media by robin nixon (as fun as reading a math text book) can't get thru it since I can't relate any of it to my current sites/needs
I am on MacBookPro OSX 10.6.6
Installed MAMP to specification on all 20 tutorials I have tried including lynda.com
Tested the testing server and is working
Just installed dreamweaver cs5
have been using wordpress online to create and edit posts (recently upgraded to 3.? whatever the latest update was online which I believe update the files on my yahoo server?)
Have also installed wordpress on my computer (several times thru each tutorial trying to get this right.)
Am I expecting the impossible?

If wordpress controls it's own connection why am I unable to use the live view. I have synced the remote site to my local computer so all the files should be just as they are online with the exception of the DB which contains most of the content.
I have done all of those steps. I have even exported the database from inside internet phpmyadmin and imported into computer phpmyadmin. When I hit live view I get one of couple of errors.
1. "One is that the dynamic related files could not be displayed due to an internal server error"
At some point I was able to view some sample files inside dreamweaver. But I would like to be able to view my real site files. I was able to "connect" to the local databases (not the copy of my real one - I think that maybe that was because it is somehow nested inside another db an am going try to reimport to new location). And then I changed the host/username/password trying to deal with the internal server error. Now instead I get the cannot connect to the database Error 2016 or whatever from the origianl post. Also, I am using yahoo if that matters and all I can find about what their server name is: mysql - is that correct?
I have been thru this so many times with so many different tutorials I am losing track of what is what.
2. Can I access my remote database within dreamweaver? I do not want to create dummy files (seems to be a waste of time). And while if it had worked exporting/importing a duplicate on to my computer would have satisfied me for a little while it also seems some what counter productive. Since every post and page is different if I were doing a daily updates etc how would I be able to change the formating or design of them if I can't access the remote files. Would I re- import everytime I want to work on it to get current database?
I am trying to be clear. I listed all the specs I could think as listed in your "how to get help fast post" (yes I read that at least twice too) of all of the steps and possible reasons for my problems. I also thought that the forum was on a seperate site so I didn't think it would count as a duplicate. I am frustrated to tears and am feeling incredibly stupid that after all this time and all these tutorials yes you are right I obviously am not understanding what is going on which is why I am on this forum.

I can log in to my wordpress site or rather I can get into the back end of my site but I can no longer see the edit button on Firefox

I use firefox 24 and it was working fine up until last weekend then I could no longer see the edit button on my wordpress site.
The thing is that I can get into my site via the site-wp-admin url as cookies allow me to do so but once I click on visit site then I cannot do anything because there are no edit buttons and not a log in button either so I do not even have the option of trying and failing or succeeding.
It is quite puzzling as it happened just recently.
I now have to use chrome to do all my editing since there is no problems on that browser

Let me start with the general advise...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
