I don't know anything about TYPO3.
I have a potential client who pushes content on a website through TYPO3 and now wants to expose some of this content in a mobile application I'm supposed to develop.
I use to implement mobile apps with Ionic.
So I have two questions:
1) Is there a way to read TYPO3 content as a web service so I can call it in my Ionic app ?
2) Is TYPO3 able to expose some part of his content in a responsive website so I just have to configure it and show that website in my webview?
In TYPO3 you can configure any kind of output. That can be the same content in the same structure as the original website.
You can configure additional pagetypes.
jsonPage = PAGE
jsonPage {
typeNum = 1234
config {
disableAllHeaderCode = 1
:
}
:
}
Often this is done for a print-view or a pure text view without tags.
In this way you can output the page content as e.g. JSon or XML.
I even did an output once as PHP includes which had the pagecontent in php-variables.
So you can request abstract data, or the same data with another rendering than the normal page like a special responsive rendering.
Even if you do not want to use TYPO3 at all, you can still make your own queries using php/mysql as all content and page related data (at least should be)is stored in the database and is well sorted there.
(Which is much more work than defining a new pagetype as mentionned above - but could also be an option)

I have a site where PDFs are uploaded and stored (all exactly the same way) as (publicly available) attachments on a web page.
Using an Ionic app, I want to query the site and pull in the PDFs as a list where each item can be opened and read in the app. The PDFs would remain on the site/server, but would be available through the Ionic interface to be read as pages.
What kind of setup or services would I need for something like this?
It seems to me like you'd want an API that simply lists the available PDFs and the URL/Location for them. That would be better than the ionic app trying to parse HTML from your existing site (which is what it sounds like you're considering). Then the ionic app can call this service and get the PDF listing in JSON, which is very natural.
Then if the PDFs are externally accessible (meaning no token/security required), the display of the PDF should be a simple window.open() call.
Based on my custom URL parameters I process, I am trying to modify dynamically a meta tag I have id'ed in index.html like so:
<meta name="og:image" content="http://example.com/someurl.jpg" id="ogImage"/>
The code below in my home.ts seems to be working
document.getElementById('ogImage').setAttribute("content", Media.ImageURL) ;
I can verify it is via the browser dev console/elements.
However, when I view from facebook via their ojbect graph debugger at
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
It appears to see the default
http://example.com/someurl.jpg
as if the index.html is shipped before my home.ts gets chance to make the update.
Perhaps, my understanding is flawed and there is better way to do this.
Thank you.
Note1: initially, I was thinking I had to make some angular binding between index.html and one of my services but I could not locate any sample code, the closest I came to was this post
How can I update meta tags in AngularJS?
But I don't know how to apply it for my ionic2/3 code, so I opted for the document.get approach.
Note2: the ultimate goal here is to share a link into a social media (web or app) like facebook, a messenger like viber/skype, etc... and have it resolve to meaningful images, title, description to drive the visit back to the site via browser, or app if the user clicking on the link is on a mobile device with my app version of the site installed on his device.
Note3: if you decide to point me to ionic deeplinking please provide code to match above, because I could not understand how to apply to my case.
If you are trying to implement dynamic open graph meta tags values in your pages, you will need a server-side scripting language like php. Such a script will run on the server, update the pages as needed, then the pages will be served to the requesting site or application.
client-side scripting (ie. JavaScript) is usually ignored when a site or app is merely visiting your site/link for the purpose of extracting (aka scrapping, parsing html) information such as the one provided by the open graph meta tags (og:title, og:description og:image...).
I have a personal project which consumes my free time and effort for about a year without significant profit. I have problems with it appearance in Google and would really appreciate to get help here.
This project (http://yuppi.com.ua - similar to craiglist in US) is WEB-based AngularJS 1.2 application that uses PHP rest API hosted on GoDaddy. And in order to make this application popular it have to be very visible in internet and very searchable in Google and users have to be able to share pages via social networks or skype.
According to Google specification, google crawlers doesn't run javascript to get content of a web page before index, so I've added _escaped_fragment_ page that displays content of web page without javascript. For example:
Page: http://yuppi.com.ua/#!/items/sub/18/_
Dirty : yuppi.com.ua/?_escaped_fragment_=/items/sub/18/_
This dirty page will be redirected here where google will see content.
http://yuppi.com.ua/server/crawler_proxy/routee.php?path=/items/sub/18/
So basically I have two versions on HTML file for that page. One version is the one that available to users, which has styles, a lot more HTML tags etc. And the second is the version for Google crawler - very light-weight without any styles. And I am expecting to see clean link to my site in Google, not dirty.
So, If to search all links to a web site in Google you will see that one of the links displays it's "dirty" state.
Another problem is sharing links in Skype.
When I send a link to someone, I am expecting that this link will be transformed to thumbnail image but it is not happens. Instead I see ungly link to my web site.
Please help me to understand how to make happy everyone: users, google crawler, GoDaddy and me.
I was encountering the same problems last year with a big project and we ended to use : https://prerender.io/.
It's a prerendering system that work with a phantomjs browser to detect bot request and render a full html template. It does also instanciate a cache service to not render again a template that haven't change.
Hope it help's.
Is it possible to store harvested data from a website(Nestoria) upon implementing their APIs using PHP?
I am able to extract the data using PHP and it displays the result on a web browser, but I need to dump or save them into my PostGIS database. (I am using XAMPP and PostGIS on windows 7)
Most companies wouldn't have a problem with you doing that, for instance Ebay's API. However, as Mapperz pointed out - Nestoria's terms require you not to compete with them for originality of the content. So, any data that comes from their API and stored in your database should not be able to be indexed by search engines.
This isn't as difficult to comply with as you might think. You could have the content loaded through an iframe that uses the "NoIndex, NoFollow" meta tag attribute in the HTML of the page being loaded, or pull the content from the database to your page's DOM using AJAX/JavaScript after the page has loaded.
I personally would go with the second option (AJAX).
I have a mobile simulator at http://businessmobilewebsite.com/tester/ and was wondering if there is a script or way to populate the text field so that I can send a sampole of the customer mobile website to them.
Maybe I need to change it to a php file or something.
So I would like to send them to say
http://businessmobilewebsite.com/tester/?url=http://speedie.mobi/luchetti/#
Quentin
That website uses javascript within the page to load the entered URL within their "emulator" and does support passing parameters as the web page is not a "real" web form.
If you have a specific question about the functionality of a specific website, then why not contact them http://businessmobilewebsite.com/contact/
There are alternative online mobile emulators which do support the funcitonality you require, such as:
http://iphonetester.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fspeedie.mobi%2Fluchetti%2F
or
http://emulator.mtld.mobi/emulator.php?webaddress=speedie.mobi/luchetti/&emulator=sonyK750
