[SOLVED] what is the @T() method and where is it documented? razor? c# .net?

today i finally figured out what the "T method" is :)
it's a part of Orchard CMS and is used for localization (translating strings to other languages/locales):

example:
<br/>
@T("Price"): <b>$@Model.Price</b><br />
@Model.Sku<br/>

from the orchard article "Building the Templates":
This is very plain rendering of the shape. Notice the use of the T method call to wrap the "Price" string literal. This enables localization of that text.

from the orchard article "Localizing the Orchard Application and Orchard Modules":
All strings in the Orchard application are output through a single T() method that can look up a translated string based on the default site culture.

from the orchard article "How Orchard Works":
Localization of the application and its modules is done by wrapping string resources in a call to the T method: <%: T("This string can be localized") %>

orchard asp.net c# mvc - how to include jquery-ui.min.css file

in your view file, e.g. myView.cshtml:

@{
Style.Include("jquery-ui.min.css").AtHead();
}

put the jquery-ui.min.css file in your MyModule/Styles/ folder:

MyModule/Styles/jquery-ui.min.css

the rendered HTML will look like this:

<link href="/Modules/MyModule/Styles/jquery-ui.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

thanks to Adding jquery ui themes Question for help.


UPDATE 20140610

orchard has a jQuery module already, so all i actually had to do was this:

@{

  Style.Require("jQueryUI").AtHead();

  Script.Require("jQueryUI").AtHead();

}

[SOLVED] mac boot camp windows 8.1 can't select text, context menu pops up

i installed windows 8.1 through boot camp on my mac (mavericks) and was having trouble selecting text because when i would select something, then hold left finger in to be able to select more text by using my second finger, a context menu would pop up right away when i tried expanding the selected text by moving my second finger.

i finally figured out how to configure the keyboard settings through boot camp so that text selection and expansion works as described above:

1. open "boot camp control panel" in windows

2. select the "trackpad" tab

configure it as shown in the image above:
One Finger > Tap to click: unchecked
One Finger > Secondary click: checked > choose either Bottom right corner or Bottom left corner
Two Fingers > Secondary click: unchecked

click Apply or OK

mac boot camp install windows 8 - additional important info/steps

i originally tried installing windows 8.1 on my mac macbook pro osx mavericks and thought that a 32GB partition would be large enough, but after installing, there was only like 4GB left, os i started over and made the partition 80GB instead (i am going to install visual studio + some other large programs).

when boot camp loads the window install, i scrolled down to the partition i made while in boot camp in mac, selected it and clicked Next:

then i got this error message:
windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 4

so i clicked the Format link (see screenshot above), and was warned that it was about to format the drive (this is normal)

click Next again:

then the installation proceeded as normal:

[SOLVED] gimp mac can't export png - saving failed, error while saving, could not save image

i installed gimp on mac and tried exporting an image to png, but got this error:
Saving '/Users/me/Documents/nick-cv-img2.png' failed:

Error while saving '/Users/me/Documents/nick-cv-img2.png'. Could not save image.

the solution was simple:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35363#comment110197

Menu > Image > Mode > Convert to Color Profile ...

Then just click "Convert" to convert it to "RGB workspace (sRGB built-in)"

Now exporting to PNG just works flawlessly.
