I tried to include silverlight content in my blog post. But wordpress is striping out many tags. Even I tried using 'text only editor' of wordpress, but of no avail.
I found it out. Plugin required: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/silverlight-for-wordpress/. Passed few parameters & boom, I was able to pull in silverlight on my wp blog.
I would suggest instead providing an image link to your Silverlight content and then hosting it on another location. This will also give your users a preview of your Silverlight content without requiring them to download the full application until they choose to.
You can't; WP restricts the HTML which is allowed in your blog to safe tags which means that there is no way to have active content in wordpress.com blog (which is also explained in the FAQ and the usage agreement).
This is to protect users of your blog against malicious code which has hit Facebook and MySpace badly in the recent years.

I am working on adding a small one-page AngularJS application to my friend's Wordpress site. The application will take some user input and generate on-screen output using that input. It will also log the user input for analysis purposes.
I will need to be able to host the files for that page on my friend's site as well as create a back-end script that can capture the user input and store it to a MySQL database.
I have worked with WordPress sites before but have never customized them or written a plugin. How would you go about making this happen?
I will select the answer that leads me down the most efficient / effective path. Thanks!
After poking around for a while, I ran across the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Using this helped me add custom JavaScript to the specific page that needed Angular support.
Here is information on how to use ACF to add JavaScript support:

Here is the plugin itself:

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.
I have an issue with share/like button from Angular app. I finally made it working correctly with links but share/like preview if completely wrong. I tried XFBML.parse(), switching to html 5 mode, etc.
There are two complete enigmas:
1. I got "Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration..." despite adding all possible variants to fb app setting.
When share preview appear - it has "Angular", but I never added it anywhere.
Here is the link
Would be grateful for any ideas...
Thx
The Facebook Scraper only looks at the HTML code your server delivers, it does not execute any JavaScript.
So if you want to share different articles, you need an individual URL for each article, that delivers the relevant meta data when requested from the server.
You can find some more explanation and hints on how to implement this in this article, http://www.michaelbromley.co.uk/blog/171/enable-rich-social-sharing-in-your-angularjs-app
Is it okay to have a full silverlight website? I've seen some website implements a full Flash website.
If yes, how can i separate pages, so they load only when user clicks on a link.
I would only use this approach if you want to force your potential users to have the sliverlight plugin. So, on a site that is open to the internet at large, I would say no. You are just alienating some potential users/viewers by forcing them to have the plugin.
I have a news letter which i did in silverlight, is there a way to send it in email. like as you include html tags, is there a way to include silverlight xap package in it.
Probably better to reference a webpage containing your silverlight content.
Technically, you could put the path to the .xap hosted on a website into an HTML email body, but nearly all mail clients will not display this - most even prevent images from loading by default.
Most email systems will prevent you from embedding active content like SilverLight, as it presents a security risk. Your only option probably is to put your SilverLight app on the web, and just email a link to it.
Don't if you want your newsletter to be read by anyone. See this article for a good list of do's and don'ts when sending emails.
Don't listen to those guys, they're probably FlashHeads... ;)
Besides that they give up too easily. More power to ya!
I assume this newsletter is for an audence that specifically desires your content: i.e a club or similar organization that doesn't have a windows based webserver.
What you do is attach the file in such a way that they drag a zip containing the files that would normally be served from a website to the hard drive - right click - extract all then they run it by clicking on an HTML file with .htm extension that hosts the silverlight plugin instead of an aspx file.
One note that probably won't matter to you is that without a server backing this up the content can't really send you back any info but it CAN get dynamic info that comes from say RSS feeds or WCF services hosted on the web.
