I have spent hours trying to crack this little problem, I have to add I am not a skilled programmer!
I have a shortcode set in a custom post type database for a page specific form (forminatorpro form), that called by a shortcode in my page into a modal. if I put the form shortcode directly in the modal it renders as expected, but when I try and pull the form shortcode from the database via another shortcode it renders the form name as text.
Modal code
As rendered to the screen
The PHPMyAdmin looks like this and I can see it is formatted as longtext. I can't seem to figure out how to change the PHPMyADmin to render HTML or indeed the form the shortcode is suposed to be showing.
Does anyone know a way round this issue? or at least point me in the right direction.
I have tried changing the custom post type from longtext to CHAR but don't actually know how to just change the 'form' instance, yes I broke my database and had to redeploy it.
TBH I am out of my depth but trying to find a solution.

I have added a side bar like this one onto a CDE dashboard.
https://bootsnipp.com/snippets/featured/responsive-navigation-menu
Now the sidebar needs to be on every page listed on the menu.
What is the best way to go about this?
I could copy it on every single dash board - it works but it's not great especially if I need to change stg ex-post.
Create an "index" page with the side bar and an iframe to display the "sub" dashboards?
Create a widget (I tried but no success so far)
Custom component?
I think I solved the problem by using jquery load like these guys did.

Ok, I have been searching for days on how to fix the vimeo urls on this page: https://www.createjobsforusa.org
Basically, I just got an SSL certificate and I'd like to change http://{the vimeo url} vimeo linking videos to https://{the vimeo url} Simple edit is all I need, but I can't find where the videos are located.
Content Blocks? All I get are settings for this. Pages? So, I go to "Content" and I see a huge list of pages in there, I see a page called "Home", so I click on the Edit link and the body of the page is blank? Ok, so this has to be coming from someplace else, but where?
Can someone please help me with how to find the vimeo video URLs and change them to "https://" instead of "http://"
I think the View is called: A-Spots... here are pics of what I get when I click on the Edit A-Spot View:
What exactly am I supposed to do here? Seems like so much to do, but every option I seem to choose still doesn't give me the option to change the vimeo URLs.
A view just select nodes (or other entities) to show them. If you edit a view, you just change the way those nodes are selected or shown; you don't edit the nodes a view selects to show.
If you look at the preview of that view, you will notice it shows some numbers; those numbers are node IDs. Just edit the node from https://www.createjobsforusa.org/node/55291246/edit; replace 55291246 with the other IDs shown, and you will be able to edit all the nodes used from the view.
If that doesn't work, https://www.createjobsforusa.org/admin/content lists all the content in the site. Just look for the nodes whose ID is the one shown in that preview, and edit them.
Does anyone know how to dynamically change the page title in Sitefinity from a regular user control?
Our scenario is simple. We have a real estate website with a search feature. On the search results page we have a control showing the search results, but we need to be able to change the Page title, description and keywords based on the search performed.
We posted on Telerik, but they gave vague answers and pointed us to incorrect objects or objects that didn't actually work.
?

The way I've usually done this in the past is by using an external widget template.
By mapping your widget template to an external file, you can use a full User Control (.ascx file) which means you can also run code behind.
From there it's just a matter of running something like
Page.Title = "whatever";
For more info on using an external template for Sitefinity Widgets, check out this post: http://www.sitefinity.com/blogs/joshmorales/posts/11-05-10/mapping_external_templates_for_sitefinity_4_widgets.aspx
Hope this is helpful!
I'm not even sure what the name of that is to be able to make a search... but I would like to make those kind of things. Facebook has that too with the messages, notifications and friends requests. Thanks
I'm not sure if you expect anyone to give you a complete tutorial with source code included? :) You should probably do some digging around yourself, since a concrete answer on this could mean to write a few pages :)
How can you dig around?
Thé tool for a job like that is Firebug (IMO).
With bigger tasks like these it makes sense to try to split it up in smaller pieces.
Let's say you go for a widget like the user profile popup on SO.
you need some HTML to display in a popup: right click on any html element on the popup and click the 'inspect element' menu item. This brings you to the HTML tab in firebug. This allows you to figure out how the HTML is structured
you need some CSS to style that popup: when you're browsing the html structure, you might already have noticed that on the right side of it is the CSS that is applied to the active element
you might want to use some animation effects: for that you could use jquery. Have a look here to find out more on which effects are available and how they can be triggered. Fading is used in the profile popup on SO.
then you might ask yourself the question where SO get's that html structure from, right? To find out more about which server calls are made you can use the 'NET' tab in Firebug. (When you hover over your user name (only the first time?), then you should notice there's a call made to something like: http://stackoverflow.com/users/profile-link-stats?_=someLongNumberHere
In firebug you can then inspect the request and response. You should notice that the response is some HTML structure. This HTML structure is then inserted into the DOM.
Sooooo you can kinda glue it all together now:
the user hovers over his user name
the hovering triggers a server call (see step 4): use jquery hover to attach a handler to the user link. (subsequent hovers don't trigger that server call, so there needs to be a check to see if that profile popup was already loaded or not)
when the server call successfully returns (see jquery get), the returned html is inserted into the DOM and a fadeIn effect is triggered.
it seems a mouseout is used to fadeOut the popup
I HOPE this is the answer you were looking for. It took me a while ;)

I'm working on an entirely flash-based site for a client who has already been using Blogspot for his News/Homepage updates. He wants to continue updating through Blogspot, but wants the blog to automatically fill in the text box on the flash site Homepage. I'm not sure if this is possible, or how I would go about doing it.
Here is the blogspot page:

Here is an example of what the scrolling SWF text box will be like:

Is this possible? Any help would be absolutely amazing!
You can use URLLoader to load the page as text. I'm not sure of the best way to parse it though.
Maybe you can try looking for the CSS tag that is being used for the text in question and then grabbing the text in between those tags? There might be better ways to do this though.
Note, you can update values to the htmlText property of a text box, which will allow Flex to maintain some of the styles specified from the loaded page.
