I would like to develop an application with CouchDB, I believe that is possible to use ONLY CouchCB to server html, css, fonts, icons, js, etc. files as well as to store the data and handle them.
The problems I am facing is:
How to serve my files using CouchDB (without having to use any middleware like nodejs), what I found is that I can upload them as attachements to a _design document, but I find it not a practical way to do so for every single file
You are looking for couchapps. There are tools that take care of the uploading part for you like erica and couchapp.
Couchapp documentation is in the wiki part of the repo. Here is the file structure to design doc mapping guide.
For erica everything is in the readme.

I'm developing a web app for in-house use and I'm looking for a better way to display PDFs.
I've played around with Adobe's 'Work with Local File' example from GitHub, Adobe GitHub Example, and it works great using the file picker to display a PDF. Is it possible with Adobe's PDF Embed API to take a file located on a local file share and display the PDF?
I'm thinking I need to create a file promise but I'm not sure how to create that.
Unless you can make a network request to load the PDF, the answer is no. Browsers generally can't read from local files unless a user action actually picks the file. If your local share can be made accessible via HTTP, then you would be good to go.
I have installed TYPO3 on my web server and it use the "Introduction Package" template.
The problem is that I have to work on another TYPO3 online website that use a custom template.
Can I obtain the template of the online website and use it on my local website? (to perform some test in local).
I saw that TYPO3 uses various templating systems and I do not know how this could affect the export\import operation. In Joomla or WP I simply take the template directory and then I copy it into the themes directory but I think that in TYPO3 this operation could be more complex.
The fastest way is to copy these directories:
fileadmin
uploads
typo3conf/ext
and the complete database, then you have "cloned" the original website locally. (assuming that the core stuff is loaded the default way, with symlinks)
Then you just need to edit the database connection stuff and maybe some paths for image magick and so on in the typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php.
I am working on a project where we are taking a bunch of documents authored using MS Word and placing them online. Currently they are being published as PDF documents in order to maintain the formatting.
We are evaluating Content Management Systems (CMS), however, there is a bit of reluctance among the content publishers to use the CMS built in WYSYWIG editor. I can understand why, they are nowhere near as good as Word!
Some CMS have decent 'paste from Word' functions, but the one I have found that handles images as well is this Wordpress pluging.
My question is - are there any Content Management Systems that have been built with Word integration in mind? Something that makes it as easy as possible to publish Word documents as HTML.
So far from what I have seen, Microsoft Sharepoint had the best integration with the MS Office. I think most of them use Sharepoint as a intranet portal, but it could be also hosted as a public facing website. But compared to other CMS, it can be little pricey. But it has tons of features apart from content management.

Microsoft Word does publish documents as HTML.

ahmednuaman/gdrive-cms-php uses Google Drive as a pseudo back-end to store and edit pages (Documents).
The self-hosted PHP and MySQL CMS requests text/HTML-exports of to display as web pages.
It also simplifies authentication and group permissions (if the editors are already Google/Drive users).
Basically i have requirement to build a CMS kind of site.
if user submits a article what is the best way to store the article. whether it is xml or database.
the article will contain rich text formatting like content,images,highlighting source code.
sample article looks like http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/article1498-how-to-work-with-or-create-master-pages-in-aspnet-.aspx. Take this article as example which has images,content, source code highlighting and rich text formats. so how to store this kind of content to our website.
please guide me best way of how to store.
If you are planning to implement a CMS I would strongly recommend that you look at the open source CMSs that are out there before you start rolling your own.
WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal are the big three CMS and would be able to do all the things you have suggested.
On the issue of whether to store in the database or as files or has had an answer here: CMS: store custom pages as files or in MySQL database?
The question of whether images should be stored in a db vs filesystem is a recurring theme and this seems to be one of the best QandAs on it
Store pictures as files or in the database for a web app?
I have a web app project that I will be starting to work on shortly. One of the features included is going to be a content management system where users can add content and then that content will be combined with a template and then output as a regular .html file. This .html file would then be FTPed to their own web host.
As I've always believed in not reinventing the wheel I figured I'd see if there are any quality customizable CMSes out there that do this already do this. For instance, Blogger.com allows you to post all of your content to your account there; but offers the option to let you use your own hosting. Any time you publish a new article then a new .html page is generated (as well as an updated index page with links to the new article) and then the updated content is FTPed to your own server.
What I would like is something like this that I can modify to more closely suit my needs.
Required Features:
Able to host on my own server
Written in PHP
Users add content through their account, then when posted it is FTPed as .html to their server
Any appropriate pages are also updated to link to the new content (like the index page or whatnot)
Templateable
Customizable
Optional (but very much desired) features:
Written in CodeIgniter or a similar PHP framework
While CodeIgniter isn't strictly required, I would very much prefer it. It speeds up development time and makes things much easier to implement.
So - any suggestions? I've stumbled across a few CMSes that push to remote servers as static pages, but the ones I've found all are hosted on the developers servers which means that I cannot modify it at all.
Adobe Contribute might work for your situation. A developer/designer creates a set of templates with Dreamweaver and publishes the templates. Authorized users can then create pages based on the templates and only make changes within the editable regions. It includes systems for drafts and reviews prior to publishing (via many options, including ftp) and incorporates automatic version control. It can work with static html pages or dynamic pages like php.
Sounds like you need a separate application that can do this for you.
For example, you should be able to write something that queries Drupal's menu router and saves the output (with curl) to a directory and then run's rsync to push your content where you want it to go.
Otherwise your requirements are likely to be outside the scope of a typical CMS. Separating this functionality will give you better options.
You'd need to write a filter for your URLs too. It's a bit of work...
Hope that helps!
