In Orchard 1.6, when editing content, there's a facility to link to external websites/URLs, and indeed how to jump to different anchors on the same page, BUT does anyone know how a user can link to different pages from page content (and also jump to anchors on different pages?
ie a user has created several pages:
page 1
page 2
page 3
and when writing content for page 3, he might want to say something like:
...and are available here...
and have everything inbetween <...> link to page 2.
Without this ability, Orchard would then simply be a way of constructing disparate/unconnected pages but surely not!?
Thanks in advance.

In just about any wiki server you can create a hyperlink to another page on the wiki. How can one create a window that pulls the other page's content into my page?
I can add a HTML Snippet with an iframe but it pulls an entire page not just the content?
The code for the javascript behind the page is not obfuscated but it seems to use Prototype and I don't understant it?
Has anyone had any experience with this?!
This can't be done reliably, one can create iframes and whitelisting the domains it points to but it just pulls the full page into a small window. It's completely unusable.
What I was looking for is called an "inclusion" or "transclusion" and OS X Server does not have the feature that is apparently standard in MediaWiki and has been for years.
More info here:
Wikis - Is there a wiki in which one can create, within a page, "windows" (partial frames) to other pages?
I am building a website for a class project using ASP NET MVC 5, wherein I need a section of the website to display a page from a different website. The goal is to somehow embed that page in my view, so UI interactions are still possible with the embedded page, as if the page was visited directly in the browser (the end effect is that the page is rendered and allows interaction but my website theme always stays around it)
I know one way to do it is to just put it inside an iframe in my View. But I want to know if there is a different solution. My instructor suggested using partial views, but I can't figure out how to achieve the same result. Can anyone suggest a different way to achieve this ? Also, what would be the right way to do this in terms of security (I believe iframe is), but I want to know other's opinion ?
Thanks.
I suggest you use a sandboxed IFrame e.g.
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/security/sandboxed-iframes/
<iframe sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups allow-forms"
src="https://blah.com/index.html"
style="border: 0; width:130px; height:20px;">
</iframe>
You can tweak how much power the content in the Iframe has (i.e. can it run scripts).
I guess you could also look at using a partial view. My guess is you'd need to use a WebClient instance to download the HTML source of the target webpage, and then pass that HTML into a partial view. But I don't see how any script tags would render correctly for you, which means the page would not be interactive.
I have a website with a default home page of index.html, let's call the website: www.brianbauer.com ( that is my name BTW).
www.brianbauer.com operates something like a "treasure hunt". by clicking on various hot-spots on each HTML page access via brianbauer.com, you get redirected to the next html page. this continues for some period of user-clicks. One of the ideas is that on each visit, it is not obvious how the user reached a specific webpage. all they know is that they kept clicking and ended up at some final HTML page. but every click that brings up a new HTML page, still shows "http://www.brianbauer.com" in the Address bar. This is a game, nothing "wrong" going on here.
1. All of the HTML pages are owned by me, and I authored them all.
2. No illegal or unscruptulous activty of any kind going on.
3. all HTML pages in scope are under the root domain of brianbauer.com
the idea is that as users look at pictures and read a narrative, they make choices. a typical webpage might have 4 choices. depending on your choice, the next HTML page you see is determined.
I have created site maps that are basically decision trees.
think of it like a digital corn-maze. It's important that the full URL path to the current HTML page that they are looking at is masked, and should only show "www.brianbauer.com". it is true that someone more sophisticated could look at sourcecode, record their screen, keep notes, etc. but the mask will accomplish 90% of my goal.
as for being able to bookmark a certain webpage that they have "discovered"? the whole point is that they should not be able to....
I am NOT trying to mask my domain, that is easy. I am trying to simply maske what appears in the Address bar as users hit HTML pages which are children of that domain.
Thank you for the help.

There is something called CNAME cloak it might be one option.
Another option could be using ajax and replace content of the page.
I used EpiServer CMS. I'm just wondering if n2cms has any attribute to collect links. (like LinkItemCollection in EpiServer). If not, Please give me an idea to implement.
Reference: http://sdk.episerver.com/library/cms6/Developers%20Guide/Core%20Features/Properties/How%20To/Use%20Link%20Collection%20property.htm
Thanks.
You could do this with the ContentList part and creating a bunch of redirect pages. This is best if you want to re-use the collection of links again and again.
Create a dummy placeholder page somewhere, and make it invisible.
Under that placeholder page, create a Redirect page for each link.
Where you want the collection of links to appear, drag & drop a ContentList and point the root at the dummy placeholder page. You can then write a custom HTML template to display the link however you like.
One other idea would be to use N2CMS Selection part, which gives you a checkbox list of all the pages in your site. You simply check the ones you want to list, and Selection will format a list of all the pages you checked.
With both of these methods, if you link to other pages in your site, N2 will offer to update links for you if you rename any of the target pages (as long as they're in the same N2 site).
All of this is documented in the N2CMS documentation here: https://n2cmsdocs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/N2CMS/Linking+to+Content?src=search
Look under the heading Dynamically Linking to Content Items
So I have a basic (Wordpress powered) portfolio site where most of the content lives on the homepage, and then I'm using a custom posts category for the featured projects, so users can click through and get more info on the project at its category-single.php page. So the idea is it's a pretty flat site in terms of structure.
So flat, in fact, that the site navigation in the header simply links to content that is all on the home page (About, Work, What, Contact are all sections on the home page that get scrolled down to when you click).
What I want to happen is when the user is on the home page, and clicks one of the top nav links, the page scrolls down to that section (no problem here - I've got this part working just fine), and then when the user is on another page of the site (think one level deep, a custom post page) if they click the header nav links it returns them to the homepage and scrolls them down to that section. I'm thinking in terms of basic url anchor structure, like http://somesite.com/page#specific_section where that link takes the user to a specific section on somesite.com/page.
However the trouble I seem to be having is with creating these url's correctly. I've written them as mysite.com#about, mysite.com#work, mysite.com#contact, mysite.com#page-top, but instead of trigging the user to go to the homepage, the browser is interpreting those links as instructions to look for those sections on the current page.
What am I doing wrong, and what is the correct way to accomplish this?
The thing I'm trying to consider additionally, is whether I need to create PHP logic that displays the links one way on the homepage, and another way on the rest of the site.
What you need to do is use the actual filenames of the pages in question, like:
mysite.com/aboutme.html#qualifications
`mysite.com/portfolio.html#ZirTech
For links to the homepage, try either using the root relative path or fully qualifying the link like so:
http://www.mysite.com/#section fully qualified
/#section relative path
You shouldn't need to implement them a different way on the homepage - just implement them properly throughout the site.
When you write the URLs as mysite.com#work, mysite.com#contact, mysite.com#page-top the browser looks for the page in question, because it is not instructed to go to another page (you need to add "/" to redirect it).
If you want them to point to the main page, set them as
mysite.com/index.php#work, mysite.com/index.php#contact, mysite.com/index.php#page-top
Maybe it is possible without index.php, but I'm a bit lazy to test now:
mysite.com/#work, mysite.com/#contact, mysite.com/#page-top
