In Umbraco, is there a way to extend the RTE?
The only menus I have available to me when I am entering text are;
I need to be able to turn on the full suite of options not just those 8.
Go to Developer section, Data Types and find "Simple RTE" (or something like that). Inside that, you can add or remove options.
There's also a tinyMceConfig.config file in the /config/ folder that you can use to configure (duh) and expand on tinyMCE functionality in general. More on that here: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Using-Umbraco/Config-files/tinyMceConfig/ and here: http://imulus.com/our-thoughts/extending-tinymce-in-umbraco/

There are many tools for Swagger yaml file editing . But with all of them I found, we have to edit the yaml files and we only can see the output. I want to know any editor which those yaml are generated according to a UI application where we can visually design. (for example, dreamweaver, it allows the user to design visually, meanwhile it generates all the html for us).

My clients can enter text into textarea and have the option to use the markdown or textile filters for each textarea.
With some models (articles, newsletter, etc) they can upload images to associate with the model, which are displayed in a column next to the text of the text.
This worked fine for a while, but they have now told me that the want the ability to put the images INSIDE the text a specific positions.
What is the best way to go about this? I suppose I may have to use a wysiwyg for this, but would rather not. And how would this work for images which are not yet on the server, etc?
There are different directions you could go to:
Follow the path of Confluence, which released in their new version 4.0 a rewritten WYSIWYG editor, that stores as source XHTML, not any more wiki markup.
Leads to an update of all pages when migrating.
Was pretty difficult to implement. I do not know if they use any more the TinyMCE editor of previous versions.
Follow the format of markdown how to include images in your source format. So by typing: This is my text. !image.png! The inline image shows ..., you will have a format that is understandable.
You have to expand the interpretation, so that the !<filename>! will be mapped that is stored locally anyway.
You have to add clear-up dialogs for the images that are yet not known, so doing bulk uploads ...
You may provide a drag area on your view, that then shows the filename and gives examples how to include that inside the text area.
Go for something in between, by allowing users to drag images inside the editor. There are plugins written in Javascript that allow you to do that, e.g. UI Draggable for jquery
I have no idea how to integrate that image inside the text editor. Overlay?
So the second one is the easiest, and the user knows how to do it. If they only decide that this is the solution they want to have :-)
I think I'm going to use a combination of #2 above, and the Liquid templating engine.
I develop rails applications with my designer who has minimum knowledge about rails.
She works on Windows through file-sharing from a Linux server.
She always has hard time finding view files to work on.
I usually use 'grep' to find a view file.
But she can't.
If you have a good suggestion, please share with me.
I have an idea which may be overkill.
Is there a way to automatically add comments around view files (including layouts and partials?) in html file?
Like this:
<!--Starting app/views/some_dir/some_file.html.erb-->
HTML here...
<!--Ending app/views/some_dir/some_file.html.erb-->
This way, my designer can find the file very easily.
Of course, this should be automatic and development environment only.
Thanks.

I use the Rails Footnotes gem (https://github.com/josevalim/rails-footnotes) in some of my projects which allows me to click a link in the footer of my app that opens the current view (also shows partials) in TextMate. Not sure if it could be customised to work with a Windows text editor but you could look at the URL to work out the file name.
I.e to open a file in MacVim, it creates the following link:
mvim://open?url=file:///Users/steveholt/Sites/foo/app/views/projects/log.html.haml
and for TextMate:
txmt://open?url=file:///Users/steveholt/Sites/foo/app/views/projects/log.html.haml
I would like to start using my own templates for iOS applications. I don't want any significant changes, but simpler things like
add/remove some boilerplate code
add some pragma mark sections
hardcode my company's name and some comments for every file
change the indentation
etc etc etc
The idea is that we will share these templates when we create apps, but at the same time we want to keep the default template files that Xcode 4 already provides. So, in the following screenshot, how can I add a "CompanyName Application" section that contains exactly the same templates (Navigation-based, View-based etc), but with my own changes?
I found that I can add a folder under /Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/ or /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/ but I'm a bit confused with what do I need to do exactly. I would really appreciate it if you could help me with that, as I have already messed up my folders twice with no luck. Thanks!
This blog post by borealkiss has detailed instructions. For starters:
If you add your own templates, the place you should use is under the following path:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/
The problem is that it is quite hard to create a custom template.
For example, to copy and paste the
built-in template to your place will
not show up the template on Xcode 4
until you manually change its
identifier in TemplateInfo.plist.
I just found this article from Bob McCune "Creating Custom Xcode 4 File Templates" that is exactly what I needed, so I put it here for reference.
I have written several applications in Delphi which use Word automation. The programs all use templates which are stored in a directory. In pre-2010 versions of Word, one would define the location of the templates in tools|options|file locations; the programs would pass the name of the template and Word would know where to find it.
My client has now moved to Office 2010, and as a result, Word cannot find the template when started by my programs. I haven't been able to find a similar dialog box in Word in which I can define the default directory for templates. How does one define such a directory?
Click File | Options | Advanced | File Locations and you get the same dialog as in older verions
Instead of forcing your user to configure Word to define the location of templates, you might prefer to invoke word using /t switch.
/ttemplatename starts Word with a new document based on a template other than the Normal template.
>"%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14\winword.exe" /t"c:\MYTEMPLATES\mytemplate.dotx"
Can't you just specify the full path when creating a new document? Why rely on a settings that possibly can even be changed by the user? Put your templates in your own folder and specify the full path.
Word's paths configuration are stored
You can get the USER template folder via
Word.Application.Options.DefaultFilePath(WdDefaultFilePath.wdUserTemplatesPath)
(there are others options for that property too).
As far as I can tell, the template loading rules haven't changed from 2007 to 2010.
Generally speaking, if your add in needs to load a template, you should specify the FULL path and file name to the template, but you can get the typical user path via the above.
On the other hand, if you install the template into WORD\STARTUP, word will automatically load it. that may not be what you need/want, though.
Finally, if your template doesn't/shouldn't change, it might be better to leave it in your PROGRAM FILES\appname folder and load it from there.
Generally speaking, +requiring+ users to change the FILE LOCATIONS in word (or changing it programmatically) is a bad idea, just because so many people wouldn't have a clue, and those that do definitely DO NOT want addins changing those settings automatically!
