Can I use the atto editor for my website? - moodle

Atto editor is an editor built specifically for moodle. It has the option to pick images from my own personal computer instead of choosing an image from the server.
Can I use this editor for my website? If yes, then how?
I have tried using tinyMCE and CKeditor but the image browsing function was not working. I have the atto editor plugin installed but it doesnt seem to work. Nothing much is available on the net for atto editor as a standalone, it is used in moodle only.

Atto was written for Moodle and is designed entirely to work within Moodle. It may be possible to rewrite it to work independently of Moodle, but I'm guessing it would be quite a lot of work to do so.

Custom VSCode extension: embed native editor in webview

Goal
I want to have a webview, that embeds the native editor (see image).
The embedded part does not need to have a tabbing-feature. It would be enough to have the editor object, that I fill and update manually per Javascript.
Question
Is that possible? How would I do that?
Background
I want to show various file contents within my own webview. These contents should be editable and have all functionality, that the vscode editor has (e.g. syntax highlighting, multiple cursors, intellisense,...). At best, also 3rd party extensions should work within them.
I don't want to start implementing the whole editor again, so I'm searching for a way to embed the editor.
It is not possible to embed the native editor that comes with VS Code. The extension API simply does not support it.
The closest you can get is to import the code of the editor into your webview. The editor is called Monaco and is available via the npm package monaco-editor. It supports most (or all?) of the features offered by VS Code editor, such as IntelliSense.
However, since this editor would be unaware of the installed VS Code extensions, themes and configuration options, it will behave differently than native editors. You might be able to improve the user experience by manually propagating configuration options and themes, but this would require a significant amount of work and might not be possible for other things, such as support for language servers or third party extensions.

dnn megamenu posibilities?

I haven't worked with dnn very much and for those who also haven't it's basically another CMS tool. I'm working on a mega menu but I am being told that I can't do something because dnn doesn't allow it. I coded a menu idea by myself (html, css, etc.) but have been told this isn't possible or it's never been done so we're not doing it. While I don't have a website example for this kind of menu being used, I know somewhere out there this menu have been used before. My question is have you ever seen this kind of menu used and is dnn really that limiting?
(The idea is that when you hover over an item on the left the information on the right changes)
This is possible with a highly customized DDR menu template.
But a good third-party theme to look at which has a custom menu implementation for DNN is Mandeep's Porto skin. Click on the link to the demonstration site and hover over the Features menu item. This is very similar to you want.
You can get tutorials on Youtube and on Mandeep's website.

CSS property wizard in PHP project using NetBeans

Long time reader, first time asking a question.
Most of my development work has been in .NET using Visual Studio. Recently I took over maintenance of a website built on PHP and downloaded NetBeans as an IDE.
NetBeans has a very nice CSS property wizard for HTML projects that highlights the CSS rules in use for a particular element and lets you edit the rules directly. However, this doesn't appear to be available for PHP projects, even for pure HTML files within the project. Is that correct, or am I just missing some configuration? I can't seem to find any confirmation either way in the documentation or forums. (It would be unfortunate if it didn't work... it's a really useful feature.)
Thanks,
Terry
If you are referring to the visual CSS editing support that works with Google Chrome and the WebKit browser embedded in NetBeans, then this feature will be available for PHP projects in the upcoming NetBeans 7.4 release.

Hope this helps,

What tool can be used to create plugin/addon for bookmark requirement

I've to create plugin or add-on for my official community site.
Requirement
There should be a button at browser, which should extend a form, which can add the current url as a bookmark with interaction from user with some more inputs, in turn that should be recorded into excel sheet in local drive. I've VBA code to extract data from the community url to excel sheet. Now, I've to create browser control to enable user direct url to fetch the data.
My control should be activated (i.e. toolbar button) based on url, so what should i create, a plugin or add-on ? i want my control not to affect browser performance or user experience.
Based on reply for 2, what tool should i use to create plugin/add-on which should be compatible across browsers ?
I've gone thro' Fire-breath demo, code capability with Visual studio, which was nice, but still missing some knowledge about visual studio, what to package of visual studio install and what language to use, it would be better if it is Visual basic ?
At last, is it possible to place control (i.e. button) inside the webpage to activate my code, if so, which one is capable of doing it, add-on or plugin ? workflow in nutshell to achieve that...
Thanks a lot
First, a few things to understand:
A browser plugin is something that is instantiated in one of two ways:
Injected into the DOM in an object or embed tag
Instantiated by the browser to open a page with a specific mimetype
Browser plugins don't know anything about the browser, the URL bar, the bookmarks, the context menus, browser dialogs, browser chrome, browser events, etc. Browser plugins only know anything about the current page. Browser plugins cannot change browser settings
Browser plugins are DLLs; they can't easily be written in Visual Basic. While it might be possible, I've never seen one, and you'd have to learn a lot about NPAPI plugins before you could do that. You'd also probably have to write one for IE, one for IE, etc.
In other words, what you need is not a plugin. Firebreath is not going to help you much, if at all. Some extensions (also called add-ons) use a npapi plugin to provide functionality that they cannot do on their own. For more information see http://npapi.com/extensions
With that information, I recommend you think about it and create a new, more specific question for what you need to know next. I don't know extensions, I do plugins. Actually, once you break down what you need to do into some smaller questions you'll probably find others who have ask most of them and you can find the answers with simple searches. Your main problem is that you don't yet understand the technologies you need to use. Hopefully this has helped.

Netbeans - How to extend HTML vocabulary

I've been using netbeans for a couple of years now, mainly on PHP / CakePHP projects.
Recently I've started using Coldfusion, which isn't directly supported. I've found, however, that if I use PHP as a project type, I can load the files and the HTML Renderer does an admirable job with the Coldfusion tags.
I want to make it better and help the renderer to understand some of the tags and, hopefully, thereby improve code indentation and syntax highlighting.
My question, then, is how can I access the HTML dictionary to extend the vocabulary?
NB: This isn't a 'which IDE' question so don't recommend them. I want to know if and how I can achieve this in NetBeans and only Netbeans.
Here are a few ideas. If you render it in HTML, you could probably add a custom name space to the HTML. If setup correctly it can help NetBeans realize that the tags are valid and shouldn't show as an error. It might not give you all the preview and WYSIWYG functionality, but it may be better than what you are getting now. I have only done this on other platforms, but I'm pretty sure NetBeans supports it.
Also I think that NetBeans will let you add CustomTags doing something like this:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/CustomTagActions
Just to note, in terms of ColdFusion the other alternatives are NotePad++ with the CF plugin and IntelliJ now supports CF.
I really like Eclipse - the number of plugins available (SVN, Javascript, CSS, CodCollab, Flashbuilder etc.) is what makes it indispensable IMHO.
I am, however, looking forward to the new version of CFBuilder.
This answer on the same/similar question suggests that there is nothing out there for ColdFusion on netbeans : NetBeans as an editor for ColdFusion scripts?
If you want to build your own ColdFusion plugin for netbeans you need to look at plugin development; http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/60/nbm-google.html You could use the Dictionary project from cfeclipse as a basis for your plugin. See this Google Group thread for a bit more information
