Any experience with adding Fotorama to a Sitefinity site? - sitefinity

I am working on a project which includes a content slider (images, videos, captions) and we use Sitefinity 5.1. I've been playing with Fotorama and now want to add my content to the site. Has anyone here done that and can give me some guidance?

This is what you could do:
Create a Dynamic Module with fields: Title (Short Text), Description (Long Text), Image (Media Picker). If you need other video's than the builtin Sitefinity video's, use another text field for storing the url to that video.
Add some content :)
Create or change the template that the Module Builder created for you so that the Fotorama Javascript and CSS files are loaded correctly. Make sure the markup of the generated template matches the basics of the Fotorama requirements.
Hope this helps you to get started?
Daniel.

How to use the Featured Item slider 2.0 in Orchard CMS

I am very new to orchard CMS... i am trying to make a site in orchard CMS as this is my first site in orchard... i am facing a fair bit of problem and hindrances to over come... my background of the CMS for creating websites is wordpress/PHP....
but now there in this project i have a problem for the slider in the home page! how could i implement a slider in the home page... after searching a bit i have found to use the featured image slider.. i have tried to implement it... i have installed the module and made the featured group... now MY PROBLEM IS WHERE I CAN ADD THE IMAGES IN THE SLIDER... AS THE FEATURE ITEM FROM THE MENU ONLY SHOW THREE FIELDS HEADLINE,SUB-HEADLINE, AND LINKURL...
kindly let me know where do i can add the images in this slider and show them on the home page of my site....
Thanks alot in advance....
After hell of the search i have got the solution for that purpose... i am elaborating my answer step wise so that the new guys like me should understand that without an inconvenience...
normally orchard CMS uses nivo slider bydefault... if you want to use other sliders follow the same path as pasted below...
1: if you have download the Orchard CMS there will be a Jquery function in the layout.cshtml and the jquery file will also be linked in the script tag, pointing to the package of Jquery in Js or anyother folder...
2: Get the name of the div for which the Jquery is pointing to... normally the name will be "slider".... Copy that name and paste it in your home from CMS... but make sure to keep the name of the div same as the Jquery function narrates which is ("slider").
3:Link your images in the Div...
and browse the site in the browser and enjoy the slider...
I have a fantastic tutorial on pepfry.com for this issue. I have a complete tutorial where I show you all the steps to successfully install the 'Featured Item Slider' with screenshots.
I also have a video on YouTube where you can see the Image slider working successfully.

What's the recommended way to add content with images and text?

What's the recommended way to add content to my rails app ? pages with cloud hosted images like amazon s3& formatted text ?
What I want is just to create a tutorial pages that are easily linked with an index page.
Is there a recommended approach rather than re-inventing the wheel ? what's the popular gems out there ?
If you need fixed content you have just to create an html in the public folder with the html that you need, and link directly from your index view to them.
In order to store the images in the cloud, just upload them and put a reference link to your page fixed content to it.
Otherwise, if you are building a dynamic page that you may upload new images and etc...
Use the paperclip gem. It is a good way to not reinvent the wheel!

display html in xaml

I wasted few hours for looking the answer and I'm very sad cause I didn't find anything usefull. I have a CMS in cloud and it provides content for diffrent devices like www site and my new windows store application.
I want to use html formating. I've already created app in c# and xaml and I'm wondering how can I display html
I was happy cause I found http://nuget.org/packages/RichTextBlock.Html2Xaml but I can't make it work. I get blank page. No text, no error, no nothing.
Can someone pls tell me how can I display html in my app ?
Use a WebView/WebViewBrush or use HTML Agility Pack and implement the styles/rendering yourself.
In WinRt app you can display html code by some ways:
Using WebView with it's NavigateToString("html content")
Using WebViewBrush and displaying it in rectangle
If you had your .html file local - you can open it with myWebview.Navigate(new Uri("ms-appx-web:///" + myPath));
You can make a screenshot of webpage by the method wich I describe here and open it as a picture.
For more info, see the WebView control sample

Link a Blog into scrolling text of SWF file

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.
