using .php with .css or some thing better? - facebook

I have a log in page for my web site. The log in file is "index.php" this will be the first page you come to when comming to my site. The rest of my site is HTML with a style.css file providing the look for my site. Now my questions is how do I get my index.php file too look like the rest of my web site?
Right now when you come to mydomain.com/index.php it is just a white page with a log in and password box. I would like my log in page to look like the rest of my web site. Can some one please refer me as how to do this?
I have other .php files that would also need to be linked with the .css such as register.php and so forth. thanks guys.
If there is a different/better method of doing what I need please feel free to chime in, I'm all ears at this point I've been trying to do this for 2 days.

Like you would do in every other html page you will have to link the file the same way.
I guess that you have already seen that in every php file there is html code?
Just stay out of the php brackets
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body
<?php
"php code in here"
?>
</body>
</html>
If you don't find the usual html markup somewhere search for a include function in the php file.
Maybe the html header is in other php file and it is being called from there.
They would be included like this
include '_header.php';

You can use the CSS file, similar to how you use it in your HTML files. You can either post the CSS tag below your PHP code, or you can use an echo "cssTagHere"; call within your PHP code.
If you're using a login page, though, are you maintaining that security with the rest of your site by using PHP on your other pages?

Facebook Page Tab external URL

What should contain a HTML file to display it on a Facebook Page's Tab. I have added the tab, but I get blank page, I have tried everything, searched hours, my URL is HTTPS, so I really don't know...
Could you paste anybody a full HTML code that works, appears in a Page's Tab with an app? Thanks!
That would be the minimum, it definitely works:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
hello there
</body>
</html>
As you can see, nothing fancy there. Without any test URL, we can only tell you to open the browser console and search for errors.
We found the answer, the server doesn't enable the iframing, so what I tried was good, but
Console's JavaScript error: Load denied by X-Frame-Options: https://www.... does not permit cross-origin framing.
So we contacted to our hosting company to solve this.
UPDATE: Hosting support added the following code to my .htaccess file: Header always unset X-Frame-Options, what solved my problem.

How do I take my HTML template and add my PHP log in script to it?

I downloaded a free web template html. I created a data base using MySql and PHP. I now would like to take the PHP log in script I created and put it on to my HTML web page. I want users to have to sign up and log in to the site before accessing it.
I can access my log in screen going to my web site but its just a user name and password box and just looks like garbage I would like it to look like the rest of my website but with the log in boxs when you first arrive to the site. thanks!
You can make CSS style-sheet so that your log-in page looks like the template and attach it to your log-in page like so:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

Facebook Open Graph Meta Tags in Body

Can someone help solve this problem with meta tags in body?
I have a wordpress site and I'm using the open graph wordpress plugin to make the facebook image default to the featured image. It is not working properly. When I debug it on the opengraph debugger, I get ...
*
*Meta Tags In Body*Your page has meta tags in the body instead of the head. This may be because your HTML was malformed and they fell
lower in the parse tree. Please fix this in order for the tags to be
usable.
*
Can anyone look quickly at the debug link and tell me how to fix it? Here is a sample URL: http://wilmettefeed.com/wh-42/
thanks!
Your HTML, indeed is malformed. On line one of your document the source shows:
<div id="nmlurkoverlay">
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US" xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#">
A function somewhere is outputting code before the wp_header(); function. Could it be your justified-image-grid plugin? Or whatever involves outputting id="nmlurkoverlay". Find and fix this, and you will resolve your Facebook Open Graph Tags issue.
The <div id="nmlurkoverlay"> could come from a function, but could also be hard coded in the header.php file in your active template folder. Check there first.

What is the best approach for redirection of old pages in Jekyll and GitHub Pages?

I have blog on github pages - jekyll
What is the best way to solve url strategy migration?
I found the best practice in common is create htaccess like so
Redirect 301 /programovani/2010/04/git-co-to-je-a-co-s-tim/ /2010/04/05/git-co-to-je-a-co-s-tim.html
But it does not seems to work with Github. Another solution i found is create rake task, which will generate redirection pages. But since it's an html, it's not able to send 301 head, so SE crawlers will not recognize it as an redirection.
The best solution is to use both <meta http-equiv="refresh" and <link rel="canonical" href=
It works very well, Google Bot reindexed my entire website under new links without losing positions. Also the users are redirected to the new posts right away.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://konradpodgorski.com/blog/2013/10/21/how-i-migrated-my-blog-from-wordpress-to-octopress/">
<link rel="canonical" href="http://konradpodgorski.com/blog/2013/10/21/how-i-migrated-my-blog-from-wordpress-to-octopress/" />
Using <meta http-equiv="refresh" will redirect each visitor to the new post.
As for Google Bot, it treats <link rel="canonical" href= as 301 redirect, the effect is that you get your pages reindexed and that is what you want.
I described whole process how I moved my blog from Wordpress to Octopress here.

Have you tried the Jekyll Alias Generator plugin?
You put the alias urls in the YAML front matter of a post:
---
layout: post
title: "My Post With Aliases"
alias: [/first-alias/index.html, /second-alias/index.html]
---
When a user visits one of the alias urls, they are redirected to the main url via a meta tag refresh:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/blog/my-post-with-aliases/" />
</head>
</html>
See also this blog post on the subject.
redirect-from plugin
https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from#redirect-to
It is supported by GitHub and makes it easy:
_config.yml
gems:
- jekyll-redirect-from
a.md
---
permalink: /a
redirect_to: 'http://example.com'
---
as explained at: https://help.github.com/articles/redirects-on-github-pages/
Now:
firefox localhost:4000/a
will redirect you to example.com.
The plugin takes over whenever the redirect_to is defined by the page.
Tested on GitHub pages v64.
Note: this version has a serious recently fixed bug which wrongly reuses the default layout for the redirect: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from/pull/106
Manual layout method
If you don't feel like using https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from it's easy to implement it yourself:
a.md
---
layout: 'redirect'
permalink: /a
redir_to: 'http://example.com'
sitemap: false
---
_layouts/redirect.html based on Redirect from an HTML page :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Redirecting...</title>
{% comment %}
Don't use 'redirect_to' to avoid conflict
with the page redirection plugin: if that is defined
it takes over.
{% endcomment %}
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ page.redir_to }}"/>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url={{ page.redir_to }}" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
<a href="{{ page.redir_to }}">Click here if you are not redirected.<a>
<script>location='{{ page.redir_to }}'</script>
</body>
</html>
Like this example, the redirect-from plugin does not generate 301s, only meta + JavaScript redirects.
We can verify what is going on with:
curl localhost:4000/a
This solution allows you to use true HTTP redirects via .htaccess — however, nothing involving .htaccess will work on GitHub pages because they do not use Apache.
As of May 2014 GitHub Pages supports redirects, but according to the jekyll-redirect-from Gem documentation they are still based on HTTP-REFRESH (using <meta> tags), which requires full a page load before redirection can occur.
I don't like the <meta> approach so I whipped up a solution for anyone looking to provide real HTTP 301 redirects within an .htaccess file using Apache, which serves a pre-generated Jekyll site:
First, add .htaccess to the include property in _config.yml
include: [.htaccess]
Next, create an .htaccess file and be sure to include YAML front matter. Those dashes are important because now Jekyll will parse the file with Liquid, Jekyll's templating language:
---
---
DirectoryIndex index.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
...
Make sure your posts that require redirects have two properties like so:
---
permalink: /my-new-path/
original: blog/my/old/path.php
---
Now in .htaccess, just add a loop:
{% for post in site.categories.post %}
RewriteRule ^{{ post.original }} {{ post.permalink }} [R=301,L]
{% endfor %}
This will dynamically generate .htaccess every time you build the site, and the include in your config file ensures that .htaccess makes it into _site directory.
RewriteRule ^blog/my/old/path.php /my-new-path/ [R=301,L]
From there, it's up to you to serve _site using Apache. I normally clone the full Jekyll repo into a non-webroot directory, then my vhost is a symlink to the _site folder:
ln -s /path/to/my-blog/_site /var/www/vhosts/my-blog.com
Tada! Now Apache can serve the _site folder from your virtual root, complete with .htaccess-powered redirects that use whichever HTTP response code you desire!
You could even get super fancy and use a redirect property within each post's front matter to designate which redirect code to use in your .htaccess loop.
The best option is to avoid url changes altogether by setting the permalink format in _config.yml to match your old blog.
Beyond that, the most complete solution is generating redirect pages, but isn't necessarily worth the effort. I ended up simply making my 404 page a bit friendlier, with javascript to guess the correct new url. It doesn't do anything for search, but actual users can get to the page they were looking for and there's no legacy stuff to support in the rest of the code.

Since github doesn't allow 301 redirects (which isn't surprising), you'll have to make a decision between moving to your new URL structure (and taking a search engine hit) or leaving the URLs the way they are. I suggest you go ahead and make the move. Let the search engine chips fall where they may. If someone hits one of your old links via the search engine, they'll be redirected to the new location. Over time, the search engines will pick up your changes.
Something you can do to help matters is to create a Sitemap where you only list your new pages and not the old ones. This should speed up the replacement of old URLs with the new ones. Additionally, if all your old URLs are in your '/programovani' directory, you can also use a robots.txt file to tell future crawls they should ignore that directory. For example:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /programovani/
It will take a little while for the search engines to catch up with the changes. This isn't really a big deal. As long as the old URLs still exist and redirect actual people to the active pages, you'll be fine.
As others have mentioned, the best solution is to preserve working URLs or duplicate the pages and specify a canonical URL.
Since github pages doesn't support true redirects, I chose to set up rerouter on Heroku to return 301 (permanent) redirects from my site's old domain to the new one. I described the details here:
http://joey.aghion.com/simple-301-redirects/
Jekyll has gone through some major updates in the past few months, so maybe this wasn't possible when this question was originally posted...
Jekyll supports a permalink attribute in the YAML front-matter section of your blog posts. You can specify the URL that you would like your post to have and Jekyll will use that (instead of the filename) when generating your site.

My blog post markdown content

(ASP.NET 2008) opens the file within browser rather than showing a Open/SaveAs dialog

we have image files in IIS6.0 server, and wanted to open in browser using ASP.NET2008.
My problem is that it always shows the open/saveas dialog, but what I wanted is, it should open the file in the browser directly. we are using ASP.NET2008. It would be great if you provide the sample code.
thanks
You could try to embed those file(s) into a simple HTML page. This will make browsers display it without prompting the user.
Making your code output bare bones like:
<html>
<head><title>YOUR_IMAGE_NAME</title></head>
<body>
<img src = 'YOUR_IMAGE' alt='YOUR IMAGE DESC' />
</body>
</html>
to the browser should be sufficent.
