Okay this question is coming from someone who has never written any code beyond CSS, HTML and some php...
Pretty much I'm using Word all day and constantly needing to refer to just a couple of sites and resources on the web.
I would like to create a little add-in to go in the Ribbon in Word.
I have the full VB 2008 Proffesional edition.
Pretty much all I'd like it to do atm is have a new tab with a few easy to access buttons which link to specific URL's, although the ideal would be that pushing these links would also automatically log me into the websites at the same time.
Possible?
From this I'll hopefully be able to work off as I learn more...
Yes, it is possible, check VSTO.
You can definitly do this as a word add-in (the auto-login part may be tricky...).
Here are some ressources:

However, there are easier ways to do this. I would rather create a toolbar in my Windows taskpane.

I'm developing a site in umbraco, and integrating uBlogsy (blog) in it.
But the problem is, uBlogsy offers its own look n feel. However i want to have my existing website design in Blogging part as well.
here is the link for the same :
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/starter-kits/ublogsy
I've done that manually. but its a time taking process.
Does any one knows, how can i do that? is there any automation available for the same?
Or if there exists any better blog than uBlogsy offering same feature and functionality?
Thanks in advance.
uBlogsy is the de-facto blog package for umbraco so i'd be surprised if you find anything better (the community is encouraged to build upon the best instead of spin up many sub-par competitors, but i digress).
I've done that manually. but its a time taking process.
^^This sounds like you have modified the cshtml markup and css from the package. This is indeed the way to go.
There isn't really any plug-in theming that i'm aware of and it sounds like this is what you're looking for, right?
I've used uBlogsy many times on past projects and usually don't keep anthonys files for template views but rather start with fresh markup to match my wire-comps. Since his files are included - they make a great example for how-to access the data.
Sorry it's probably not what you're looking to hear. But i think it ultimately gives greater control and better result to get hands-on.
Can we add php contact form in volusion eCommerce site?
I tried to implement but couldn't get it right.
Problem seems to me is, when calling the php file for form action to "XXX.php" file, it displays error (i.e. couldn't find the page).
Can I call "xxx.php" file from volusion "default.html" page??
Please help me out.
I know this question's a bit old but I thought I'd give you my thoughts on it anyways, You asked if you could use PHP on volusion and my answer to that is Unfortunately Not. Volusion only supports classic ASP and JavaScript on the front end of your store. (And as the previous poster said, it is written in asp.net however I've never been able to get .net code to work in it, it seems .net is only used for the admin panel and for the webservices API...)
Regardless, there are a few other ways to accomplish what you want to do; at least in my mind.
You could possibly add it with an Iframe.
If not, (if volusion blocks out your iframe, or if you just don't want an iframe) I would suggest just making your contact form in ASP or JS... You could view the following link for information on how to use their VSMPT ASP class.. http://support.volusion.com/article/vsmtp-key
If neither of the previous options work, you might also consider making the contact form be part of a new ticket. It would however require your customers to create an account first, and if it's purpose is to reach new customers you might want to look into how you add custom fields to the account registration form in volusion. This way you can have the information that you wish to collect from customers inside of your volusion admin panel.
This link may be helpful for the latter. http://support.volusion.com/article/use-custom-fields-gather-marketing-data
I wish you the best of luck working with volusion, I'm stuck on their disgusting software and sure wish I would have known the massive limitations and roadblocks, prior to starting using their product. Hopefully I'll be moving away soon! I suggest the same to anyone else on it. (sorry for the added two cents)
You can if your server will support it. What I mean by that is that Volusion is written in ASP.NET and runs on a Microsoft server. PHP on the other hand runs on a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server.
Generally I don't find servers running both the LAMP stack and the Microsoft stack but its possible.
I want to make a small HTTP chat website working with a Delphi 7 web Server. I have no idea how to approach this. I have searched on the internet for hours but I found nothing helpful. I have setup a basic Delphi 7 web server. The reason I want to use Delphi is because I'm most familiar with it and I want to use HTTP because that's the only language I know to how use in a browser. Could I do this and is there any tutorial on how to do this somewhere on the internet? I wanted to make a chat server because it seemed like a challenge. The help is greatly appreciated.
As much as I love Delphi, I would strongly recommend learning another language for this task.
PHP is very easy to get into. All you need is notepad to type a file with this:
<?php echo "hello" ?>
And you have a working web application that shows hello. With delphi it gets more complicated. You either need to provide your own web server, or you need to create a .dll that plugs into your browser, and you'll need a lot more code to get something simple.
PHP also has good mysql support built in, which you'll probably need if you're going to create a chat page, because it can easily deal with multi-user issues for you.
I know this doesn't answer your question about how to do this with Delphi, but please take this advice.
Has anyone created a skin/theme wrapper for Intraweb/VCL for Web ?
The default look of the grids etc are very dated..
Any info appreciated.
CSS is the best way to make your web pages look fancy.
You might want to check out the Intraweb components TMS offers. Grid example is here.
Ok this is an old question anyway i give my answer. I use these CGDEVTOOLS Intraweb components, they make an app look modern and they have an handful of features that extend Intraweb, expecially on the ajax side. They are very good, but use them only if you are serious about Intraweb. It could be strange to start sudying Intraweb in 2018.
I'm in the process of planning out a site for a friend, they need to be able to modify site content, have a products section and shopping/ check-out area. All the products need to be able to be updatable too (descriptions, photos, cost - including delivery, etc).
As I'm a bit of an ASP.NET MVC fanboy currently, I was going to build a quick CMS in my spare time, however, a friend just pointed me at WebQuarters - an open source MVC based CMS.
So, my question is this - given the requirements, does it make more sense to build on top of WebQuarters or go my own route?
Additionally, does anyone have any experience of using WebQuarters...is it any good or should I steer clear?
Thanks,
Kieron
I've been looking at this as well and trying to see how suitable it will be for a similar project I will be starting soon. So far it looks good, but some of the admin parts when your editing your pages don't feel quite as solid (like editing the menu order).
I'm keeping an eye on it though, I think it will be a great library to add to your tool chest.
