MAISHIDH'S BLOG: September 2014

If you are getting message on site webpage like: "The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

Solution :
For that you need to enable URL Rewriting for pretty Permalinks

WordPress on Windows Azure Websites runs under Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), not Apache. IIS also supports URL rewriting but the configuration is done in a Web.config file, not in a .htaccess file.

Next, using FTP, WebMatrix or other tool, create a Web.config file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url=".*" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

And upload it to the WordPress site's root directory,

Make sure your WordPress Permalink settings do not contain “index.php”
Also make sure in WordPress Settings, General Settings section, the WordPress Address (Site URL) and Site Address (Home URL) are correct.

BrowseAloud Configuration

Step 1 :

As BrowseAloud only reads BrowseAloud-enabled sites , first of all we need to register our site with BrowseAloud.

Registered your site with BrowseAloud via : http://www.browsealoud.com/au/browsealoud/requestform/.

BrowseAloud activated for your website within 24 hours of purchase.

Step 2 :

The page must have a valid <!DOCTYPE> set at the top. An invalid or missing <!DOCTYPE> will cause the BrowseAloud logo to display and function incorrectly.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Step 3 :

Include below scripts in to your page (Here /httpdocs/joomla/templates/beez_20/index.php)

Note : The javascript must render between the <body>…</body> tags of your page when shown in the browser.

Step 4 :

Include below HTML script in to index.php at place where you want to display “Listen with BrowseAloud” link.

<a onclick="function getProtocol(){return window.location.href.indexOf('https')==0?'https':'http';}(function(){if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE')!=-1&&getProtocol()=='https'){alert('You are viewing a secure website. We do not currently support BrowseAloud services on secure sites.');}else{document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src=getProtocol()+'://babm.texthelp.com/Bookmarklet.ashx?l=uk';}})();" href="#">Listen with BrowseAloud</a>

</div>

Step 5 :

Add styles to set position of link in CSS file (/httpdocs/joomla/templates/beez_20/css/general.css)

#website-audio-button {

/*float: left;*/

font-size: 12px;

padding: 11px;

text-align: center;

}

#website-audio-button a {

background: url("http://theram.ch/wordpress37/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/listen.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 0 #ffffff;

color: #4a8bca;

padding: 5px 0 5px 28px;

text-decoration: none;

}

Here “http://theram.ch/wordpress37/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/listen.jpg” is a link for speaker icon beside link.

Step 6 :

Now BrowseAloud is ready to work with your site.

By clicking on link “Listen with BrowseAloud”, one box appear on top –right corner of browser.

Click on Red button to start service.

Select text on webpage and click on Green play button.

Now you can hear selected text.

Step 7 :

There is some settings available with BrowseAloud.

You can access it by clicking on “Einstellungen” on top-right box.
