I know how to make an API call to get me the text of the whole page, like this, but is there a way (without having to parse through the wiki markup) to only get the text from a certain section?
If you look at the documentation for the revisions module, you'll notice that it has a prameter rvsection, which is exactly what you want. So, for example, to retrieve the lead section, use
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=query&titles=Stack%20Overflow&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&rvsection=0

I'm currently using Wikipedia API to get some content that I can use on my website. At the moment when I get content it is all in html or wikitext (both containing Wikipedia hyperlink and a lot of junk in the text). Is there a way around this to just get plain text without having all this junk?
I have tried calling HTML and converting it into plain text but that still contains all of the wiki junk. I want to try and create a universal method that can remove all the junk as I want to be able to call multiple different Wikipedia pages and get plain text for all of these.
HTML:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&format=json&page=Game_of_Thrones_(season_3)&prop=text§ion=1&disabletoc=1
Wikitext:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&format=json&page=Game_of_Thrones_(season_3)&prop=wikitext§ion=1&disabletoc=1
I hope this makes sense, any advice/guidance is greatly appreciated.
I have a page where there are about 30 links and those links would have similar page except for a few contents changed(there is also pictuures). Now is there an efficient way to do that without repeating the codes and repeated nestings of the codes. thank you.
Using plain HTML you won't be able to do this.
The most straightforward way to do it, I think, is using server-side scripting to implement a rendering template. You could then have a default "main" template with everything those 30 pages have in common and then in each of those pages use the main template and load the custom content.
So if you want to modify something in the main template you'd only have to modify the main.html (or whatever you called it) page and not each of the 30 pages.

What i am trying to do is to use a photosphere on my website so that it shows up on full screen as a website cover page. The problem is the the code to embed a photosphere in a webpage given here by google
https://developers.google.com/photo-sphere/web/
lets only the photosphere size to be hardcoded as
displaysize="600,400"
what ever the values but its still hardcoded. What i want is that it gets adjusted to the screen of the user and gets displayed in the whole browser window. Any one got an idea how to pull it off? I didn't find any stuff about 'photosphere on web' other than the google link i gave above.
Indeed the API is currently designed to take static values. I think it's a good point that users might want to set the dimensions to 100% and let it resize dynamically.
I put it on the TODO list and will try to get to it shortly.
In the meantime, one work around is the following: After the viewer loads you will find an iframe on the page which contains it. You can change it's dimensions dynamically to your liking and the viewer should adapt.
The API provided by Google wraps the whole photosphere in layers of iFrames.
You can use the API to request a certain photosphere but only use the response to parse it for the values you need. Then you create your own request and the result can be shown fullscreen.
An example link is this
I created this link dynamically from the JSON response from the elements
media$group media$content 0 url
Hope it helps.
Can't you take the raw image and just use webgl to project it on the inside of a sphere?
Sharepoint is quite limited when it comes to multi-Lookups because it saves that information in strings. So I changed the Page-Property
"Elements (MultiLookup-> elementIds" on the propertyPage
to an inserted List "PageElements":
"
(SingleLookup)pageId , (singleLookup) elementId"
Because this is quite hard to maintain for my content admins I want that they can enter that information in the page properties like before instead of adding lines into "PageElements"
Therefore I want to add a control that handles that.
I do not need a solution for the task how to achieve that specific function, but a general hint how to add any custom control into a Page property.
I starting point link would be very nice. I just doen't seem to find the right words to feed google with my topic.
Solved this by using a custom field type with that logic. Basicly Described here: http://avinashkt.blogspot.de/2011/07/creating-custom-field-in-sharepoint.html
have this webpage http://www.westminster.ac.uk/schools/computing/undergraduate . I'm using hpple to retrieve data (just started learning about it). I want to specifically retrieve the href from he main page, how can i do this?
I have this line - "NSArray *elements = [xpathParser search:#"//a"];" is able to retrieve all of the href links within the page however how can i retrieve just the ones in the main content? e.g. "BSc Honors Busniess Information Systems"? whats the syntax for it?
It looks like all of the "main content" stuff is found underneath elements with id attributes like "content_div_XXXX" where XXXX is some randomly generated sequence. You might be able to get at what you want using an XPath that looks something like:
//div[starts-with(#id,'content_div')]//a
You should be able to get something like this working, although you'd have to try it out and perhaps tweak it a bit to make it work precisely as you want. Refer to W3Schools XPath page for a good set of XPath tutorials
