When using dashboard (https://melpa.org/#/dashboard) in emacs, how can I set it up so that it ignores directories or filenames matching a pattern like .gitignore ?
For example by default it shows ~/.emacs.d/elpa/*
The emacs community is friendly... but probably not as helpful as they could be. You could try filing a GitHub issue with the dashboard developer (here: https://github.com/rakanalh/emacs-dashboard/issues). If you ever did figure out a fix for your own issue, I bet the dashboard maintainer would be glad to hear about it.
Avoid plugins. Help on opensource plugins is minimal if you are not comfortable with developer jargon, politics and technical skills to understand the source code.
Just wait and see for yourselves - the emacs tag has 5.4K watchers, on average you get about <20 views per question, when do you think the question will be answered ?
Semantics aside, the suggestion is to just use the built in bookmarks feature.

I'm a noob in scripting (for years now...) and a BBEdit fan user. I usually find solutions to my problems on StackO or GitH, but this time I do not, and I finally decide to create an account. First post on Stackoverflow ! So stressful !
BBEdit works really great for what I do. But there is 2 things I try to do and I definitively need to know if it's possible or if I change for Atom (wish do it well)... and it will be very painful. I can't stop a such love story without be absolutely sure of... I just can't write it.
So first I use a lot MD with the great Preview CSS from Ryan Dotson.
BBStylish – Attractive Markdown Preview CSS for BBEdit

I'm really happy with this one but it doesn't deal with tables or MMD stuffs. Is there a CCS somewhere to previewing MMD ? Or there is way to had a part of code to the Ryan Dotson CSS to do this ? I think, if I have no answer, I will ask him directly...
Secondly, is there a way to use Mermaid directly in BBEdit with a plug-in, or a CSS, or magic trick,,
Thanks a lot.

You can use BBEdit's "Preview Filters" feature to set up MultiMarkdown as the preferred renderer for using "Preview in BBEdit". There's pretty detailed information on how to do this, see the "Previewing Pages" section in the user manual (itself available on the Help menu).
Beginning in BBEdit 13.1 (in open beta testing at this writing, check #bbedit on Twitter for the news) you can also select the default Markdown renderer (and MultiMarkdown is an option, if you have it installed) in the Markdown language-specific preferences.
I have a plugin's resource codes and I want to edit. Because I want to change plugin's prefix but it isn't possible unless edit plugin. I tried edit with Eclipse but I had a lot of errors.
If you have source codes of some plugins, there meight be a problem, that they are using some api for example WorldEdit api, but you don't have it added in your project. You have to look into code and find out what they use. Then download the api and add it in Build Path - Right Click the project->Build bath->add external Jars. I hope this will help.
You may be getting errors from imports, API's, etc.
The best way to change this is to contact the developer of the plugin, who has the project themselves. It's not a good idea to change code unless you have full permission; but I will still tell you some possible ways to fix it.
Your imports may be faulty, check those.
Actually REVIEW the code yourself– Don't mess around with things you don't know what they do.
CHANGE YOUR PACKAGE NAMES (This got me before, simple mistake)
If there are comments in the code, use those to your advantage
Google your errors.
If you are new to Java, don't skip to changing code already. TRUST ME. Learn all you can before skipping to other "higher level" developer styles.
Like I said, these are vague and simple ways to fix it; the best way to have your feature implemented is to contact the developer.
*I understand that this thread is old; I'm just saying this because there are currently no answers that describe this for other Google travelers of the internet.
I'm assuming Mercurial is for having an updated website and it archiving the old stuff? Easy to test things and such?
My question is, how exactly should I get started and can somebody give me a crash course in using Mercurial and using the following techs below:
Notepad++ for coding
FTP
PHP/MySQL
Jquery & other js libraries
I use windows and would like to keep things fairly simple. I'm developing 1 website currently and want some kind of CVS system in place. Or should I just stick to my current edit file in notepad++ and upload via ftp method and make a backup copy of everything every once and a while?
Any thoughts?
EDIT: I'm doing http://bugtracker.gttools.com/public/wiki/bluehost/Mercurial right now in order to try and 'install' it.
I'd definitely recommend taking a read through the excellent HGinit http://hginit.com/ site in addition to the official guide.
Definitely try and move across to using some form of version control (SVN, git or mercurial) as it'll save you down the line.
Mercurial is a distributed version control system, much like Git but allegedly slightly simpler.
A good tutorial by Joel Spolsky can be found here.
If you read up on https://www.mercurial-scm.org/guide under Basic Workflow you should be able to figure out how to work with it while editing files using Notepad++ etc.
From your question it sounds like you don't know much about version control (like you have a very basic grasp of what it is and why it is useful). So perhaps the first thing you should do is read up on that in general first of all.
But in terms of using Mercurial I don't think you will find a better insight into how to use it and why it is so good than Joel's tutorial, which you can find here hginit Tutorial
HGInit is a good tutorial for mercurial. Basically you have to hg init in the directory you want to be under version control. If you don't like the command line, you can also use gui tools, like tortoisehg.
If I'm not mistaken you also want to upload the latest version to the website. If I'm right ftp access won't be enough for this (unless you define a post-commit hook, that uploads the directory using ftp).
I'm assuming Mercurial is for having
an updated website and it archiving
the old stuff? Easy to test things and
such?
Not sure what you mean here. Mercurial (and all version control systems) lets you archive your changes as you make them, label and manage your releases so you can track code that goes together, and branch when you need to do parallel development.
You should be checking in your changes as you make them. If anything goes wrong during development, you can roll back to the last good version you had. It's a great way to make sure that you don't lose days and days of work because you forgot to check in.
Check in early, check in often.
It seems a lot to ask, but I'm looking for a cloud-based solution to managing code snippets. I am looking for:
Tags
User accounts (I want to be able to see all of my snippets on a single page)
syntax highlighting
versioning - myself or others should be able to edit my snippets to improve them and have revisions save so that I can go back and use an older version if I prefer.
straightforward UI with minimal advertising if any
Does anyone know of a solution which meets these requirements? If not, would anyone be interested in something like this? As a software engineer, after step zero (does it already exist), I'm perfectly willing to go onto step 1 (would other people use it? If so, make it).
www.codebarrel.com
it has everything you asked for
Sounds like Gist.
http://gist.github.com/
Except for the tags part. But it might be workable anyway.
I'm working on a site for this. The very rough (as in: barely works, but not even functional yet) initial version is here: https://github.com/jasongrout/snippets
Our small team of 3-4 developers uses a wiki for documentation and collaboration. I'm trying to put together a list of some solid extensions which would help make it better. We are using MediaWiki, but if you know of a good extension/plug-in for another platform I'd like to hear about that too. Thanks.
Here is my list so far:
Geshi for syntax highlighting.
FCKeditor
TagAsCategory
Promising Extensions that don't work w/ MediaWiki 1.15.0
CategoryEditor
IssueTracker
Two things come to mind:
Bug tracking tool integration
SCM tool integration
For MediaWiki there are already
Bugzilla integration:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BugzillaReports
SVN integration:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SVNIntegration
The whole list of extensions is here
Well, I think that a good starting point would be to check what we use at mediawiki.org, because this is a Development Wiki :)
My first choice would be CodeReview of course. It's not pretty, but it's very useful. See how we use it: it allows to integrate a SVN into the wiki, to add comments on code, tag commits, and put statuses on it.
At MediaWiki, we use new/verified/ok chain, adding fixme/reverted/resolved/deferred when things go wrong; but you're free to use your own statuses here.
