Is there a way to bulk edit a few hundreds of pdfs in Adobe experience manager - we want search engine bots not to crawl them but still searchable in internal search. But instead of doing it manually, is there a way we can bulk edit them in cUrl or any other easy way?
Thanks

I'd like to build a semi-automated site where pages would be created based on information on the database.
The site would be a vocabulary-like site where there will be thousands of words with their associated meaning, phonetics, and sentence examples along with other useful information.
Since a CMS like WordPress wouldn't work in that sense, what is the best solution for a system like this?
thanks,
Is there a way to migrate DNN to SharePoint? We want to move all the contents from DNN to SharePoint.
Is there any DNN API to export contents like documents, images and other files?
Also, where the file contents are stored in DNN SQL server?
Why?
Are you using DNN as a document management tool (with DMX or OpenContent) only? Then it could be reasonable.
DNN and Sharepoint are completely different products, Sharepoint is a great document management and workflow tool, and DNN is a multi purpose CMS (and SharePoint is completely unusable for this).
Anyway, I don't think that there is anybody who offers a migration tool, so you have to find out yourself if you really want to do this...
And yes, there are API for a lot of things in DNN, but it depends on the extension used.
I often need to create similar, but very long HTML forms for a client. The forms contain some inter-dependent fields and lot of validations. Some images also need to be uploaded.
Then the client needs to check the database in the CPanel and export it from there.
I want to create something with easy interface which can create complicated forms. Also, client is asking for easy-to-operate back end. The CMS option looks like an overkill. I want to keep the site as lightweight as possible because of performance requirement.
Please suggest me the best path I should take. Should I try to develop everything from scratch? Should I use a CMS? Is there any particular CMS more suitable for the task?
We use ChronoForms along with Joomla 3.1 to create such forms. It has two modes, an easier one that limits the functionality but creation of forms is much easier. The other one offers the full capabilities of the engine but requires manual steps to do even simple things.
Having said that, ChronoForms is the most powerful web based forms designer I have come across. It seems they also support Wordpress now.
They have a drag-drop mechanism to design the forms. Validations are easy to do via check boxes for the standard ones. You can save the results into database tables, send emails, redirect users to specific pages, add captchas.
The backend allows you to view the records and create new tables based on the fields of the form. You can also export the result as CSV.
I've tried looking around but honestly not finding much help. I am mostly seeking for advice as to how I should approach to develop what I am thinking.
I want to accomplish something like this.
Imagine a website, with a backend database. This database contains information fed by users themselves. The website is fully functional, now I want users to be able to have the same functionality on their iPhones. I don't use a local database because I want all users to be able to have access to the same database, and this changes constantly.
What would be the best approach to:
Allow users to access all the information currently available on the website (database perspective).
Able to edit & add new entries to the database
I don't know if me creating an array to hold all this data would be wise to do. Specially with large amounts of data. I dont know how well it can scale.
Should I create a duplicate SQL lite database on the phone itself duplicating that of that website? What do you guys feel would be a good approach to this?
Comments, links, references would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Sounds like the perfect time to create an API for your website. If the size of you application is not very big, you can use the same database, but would be good to run the API separated from the web server.
Essentially, such an API should allow you to make requests to certain URLs for retrieving, updating and deleting information from the database.
Depending on what server-side platform you are currently using, there are many options.
Client-side, your iPhone app can use http://restkit.org/ or http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/ if you feel confident.
We have some quite-specific requirements for our app that a CMS may help us with, and were hoping that someone may know of a CMS that matches these requirements (it's quite a laborous task to download each CMS and verify this manually).
We want a CMS to allow users to create and manage articles, but storing the articles in plain-text only. All of the CMSs that we have looked at so far are geared towards creating HTML pages. We want the CMS to manage workflow (approval process), and tracking of history.
The requirements for plain text only is that the intent is to allow business people to generate content which we are going to display in our Silverlight application - we don't want to go down the route of hosting and displaying arbitrary HTML in the app as we want the styling to be seamless with our app, amongst other reasons.
We would also want to allow the user to be able to link to media stored on the server, but not to external sites (i.e. HTML with no formatting, or some other way of specifying article links), and the third requirement is the ability to tag articles and search on articles.
Does anyone know of any non-HTML targetted CMS systems that may match these requirements?
I would expect several CMS systems to allow this, but eZ Publish stores content as plain XML. And you have a way of allowing certain tags if you wish; and explicitly prevent for example external links. You then have options for how to present that content according the templates you choose to use.
You also have control via a /layout/set/myLayout directive.
You could for example retrieve the content as a plain xml feed or a print layout or whatever custom format you choose at the time. With appropriate headers.

You could define a layout such as /layout/set/xml/....
Workflow as in content approval processes, versioning, tagging and search are standard.
You can give Statamic a try.

Not sure if you can disallow external links, though.
