Note: Before asking i searched some on embedding but couldn't get exactly what i wanted.
I have a resume file in the pdf format that i would like to display in my website without storing anywhere like google or other but on my own. I have static website [which i made using Jekyll] lets say https://www.example.com and what i actually need is to display my resume accessible in the following link https://www.example.com/resume
Some of them have long permalinks and i actually hate them. (Just saying)
Upload the PDF into the website's / or assets/ directory.
To make a link for HTML:
CV
To make a link for Markdown:
[CV](<PATH>/cv.pdf)
On Chrome, this has been around for a long time and plagues webdevs to this day. There seem to be no plans to change that anytime soon because that's just the way it was built. Chrome behaves slightly different when not online, so offline/local-testing will not always produce expected result.
My answer to you, for this question, is a suggestion. In order to make it cross-browser compatible, your mode of implementation should be:
Modal or,
Lightbox
Whether or not you are using a SSG should not matter here. Look for a bootstrap or material implementation.
On the client-side, it is possible with extension. I reckon this isn't helpful to you; but I'm including this information for future readers.

I'm searching for a while, but didn't find a practical answer for the following problem:
An Articlepage in the Frontend can contain different types of sections. For example a block text section and than a text section with left photo an at the end an wallpaper photo.
Now I want to implement this in my backend dynamically, so that I can choose, which type of section and -even more important- how many sections my article should contain.
In my recent project I've solved the problem as an Articlesection with a Dropdown, wich contains the different section styles. And one article hat xy Artilesections as childpages. In the frontend I included all Childpages of the Article - so to speak the Articlesections, where I've checked with if conditions, which sectionsystyle I have in this Section and here I styled the section as I want.
For example Artilce1 has 2 Childpages: Articlesection1 and Artilcesection2.
In AS1 I have choose in the dropdown: right text with left photo and check with if conditions, to style the section. The same with AS2, that is for example a wallpaper photo.
This semiprofessional solution worked, but there are some bugs with displaying the Article correct in the backend, because I have to declare the Articlesections as Includes and not native childpages. And in generell this don't seems like the developers of silverstripe want the users to do it this way..
Are there better ways to implement a dynamically changing backend, so I can decide, which and how much sections I have in the frontend.
Take a look at https://github.com/sheadawson/silverstripe-blocks. There's quite a few addons that offer similar functionality as Blocks such as Elemental. The following blog post might also be useful too - https://www.silverstripe.org/blog/silverstripe-strips/.
Thank you for your reply, but there is a problem, because I don't work a lot with the terminal and the composer. In principle I want to install sheadawsons silverstripe-block. I have installed the composer and run the command:
"composer require sheadawson/silverstripe-blocks" it seems like it installed that correctly, because I became no errors, but what then? With dev/build -to refresh the database- happened nothing and the following instructions in the readmy chanced nothing. Should I copy any files in my Sivlerstripe web folder or what else..? I'm a bit desperate, because there is such a poor documentation.

I'm trying to get DOH testing working for my company's upcoming platform, but I can't figure out the right combination of paths. Our file structure looks like this:
/dojo15
/release
/dojo
/dojo
dojo.js
dojoExt.js
/dojo
dojo.js
/util
/doh
/js
mainLib.js
/tests
base.js
This was created by our contractors, so unfortunately there are some things I have to figure out as I'm going along.
The "release" directory is what is used on our pages.
The "util" directory doesn't exist in our release directory. (I'd like to avoid having to make a copy of it there.)
I'm not entirely sure what they did with dojoExt.js there, but it seems to be required. I was able to make a simple "hello world" sort of test, but once I did dojo.require(js.mainLib), I got an error that dojo.behavior.add is not a method. So it seems to be they made a stripped-down dojo.js and put other required code in dojoExt.js.
My guess is that DOH is using the dojo in dojo15/dojo, but I need to include dojo15/release/dojo/dojo/dojoExt.js. I've tried every combination of dojoUrl, testModule, registerModulePath I can think of...also saw "boot" and "path" from other SE questions, even though I can't see in runner.html where they would even be used, but I tried throwing them in to see if they'd magically help anyway.
At the moment I don't really have the option to move code around, so I'm hoping to work this out with files where they currently are.
Did you try the bits I suggested over at a related question? We use the bits I detailed there to pull together a completely custom layout of dojo + util. Take a look at both boot and dojoUrl. I think it's runner.js that does most of the cunning stuff, rather than runner.html.
Is the problem that you can't arrange for dojoExt.js to get loaded? How does your other code arrange for it to get loaded? Is tests/base.js your test module?
The project I'm working on requires me to adapt the size of the elements on screen according to per-user setting. We're using Twitter bootstrap, so my first idea was to toy with the #basefont value, and it seems to do the trick.
However, I don't know how to access the user setting from the .less file. I tried using erb with .less.erb, but it looks like I don't have access to any code in my application.
Is there a way to get the value I'm looking for from the .less file, or - even better - a proper way to do this ?
Thanks for your time.
EDIT
Since I need to get the value at runtime, the way I tried won't work anyway, though I'm still interested on an answer. The only way I see to do what I want is to add a class according to the user setting. Again, I'd be glad to have alternatives.
I opted for css3 transform (and vendors implementation) property. It does the job, but seems to hit the GPU quite a lot. So still open to other answers. :)
I would like to update my app to support the downloading of PDF documents, but am worried primarily about 2 things:
1: that the user will attempt to use my app to download non-PDF, or virus-riddled items.
2: that said virus riddled-items could infect the device.
I may just be paranoid, as I assume the sandbox would prevent most malware from escaping and screwing with the OS, Kernel or the Lower Level Processes but you can never be too sure. So my question is twofold: How can I (at least mostly) guarantee the download of only PDF's and do it as securely as possible.
(P.S. the download will be done through any generic website in a webView, not a server seeing as I shudder at the thought of web development).
Based on ozdrgnaDiies' answer, I have found this sample code; which I will be modifying to suit my needs, thank you. http://iphoneincubator.com/blog/server-communication/how-to-download-a-file-only-if-it-has-been-updated
From what I've gathered from your question, I assume you want to check if the file you are downloading is a pdf and not anything else? If so, you could check the header of the file to verify it is a pdf.
Example, the first thing in every .pdf (That I have myself) is:
%PDF-*.*
Where *.* is a version(?) number. For example, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, etc.
Therefore, reading the first 5 characters from a downloaded pdf should result in "%PDF-", otherwise it is not a pdf.
As more examples, the first thing in a jpeg image is:
ﾘ・
And for an .exe it's:
MZ・
etc
iOS apps are sandboxed. Meaning, anything you do within the app should only affect your app. Unless you attempt to somehow run the downloaded content (which I believe is against the rules for the App Store). The only thing left would be maliciously crafted PDFs…
I personally don't think it would be a big issue.
Cloud App has this neat feature wherein it automatically uploads new screenshots as they are added to the Desktop. Any ideas how this is done?
You can do similar things yourself without much in the way of programming. In OSX, you can configure "Folder Actions" to run a script, for example, when a new item appears in a folder, including the Desktop. You can then use the script to do whatever you want with the new files.
This article at TUAW includes an example of uploading files to a web server when they hit a particular folder.
So, basically, the answer is "Folder Actions", or "something's keeping an eye on the folder and sending notifications", at some level. Whether Cloud App uses Folder Actions or watches the folder itself at a lower level, using FSEvents/NSWorkspace, or the kqueue mechanisms (for which there's a nice wrapper class called UKKQueue, if I remember correctly -- don't know how current my knowledge is on that one though!) is another matter...
You could implement this at several different levels, depending on the outcome you want, how you want to design whatever it is you're actually doing, and even what kind of filesystem you're targeting. Fundamentally, in Cocoa/Objective C, I think you probably want to start looking at FSEvents.
Once you've got notifications of the file changes, I'd probably use something like ConnectionKit to do the uploading -- any library at all, really, that means you don't have to bother with the sockets level yourself -- but again, there's a lot of different ways.
Depends, really, what level you're looking to solve the problem at, and whether you want to build something for other people or get something working for yourself. If I just wanted to bash something together for myself, I could probably have something cobbled together using Coda's Transmit app, and Folder Actions, or maybe Hazel, and a minimal bit of Applescript, in a half-hour at most, that would do the job well enough for me...
I am not sure what you are asking for exactly. If you are asking for a way to take a screenshot programmatically in MacOSX, I suggest you have a look at the "screencapture" command (in the terminal, type "man screencapture" for doc).
If you want to do it the "hard" way, you should look at this.
