I am looking to create a website in which I want to give users an option to create the floor plan of their house. I am looking to replicate something like http://floorplanner.com/demo#assets .
I tried to do code it with jqueryui, but found it very hard as I am not a programmer by profession.
Is anyone aware of an open source plugin that I can use in my website to create a similar tool. I searched the net for same (javascript and flash plugins) but did not get what I was looking for. I am not looking for an ideal solution, rather anything that will make it easier for me to make a final product.
Thanks,
SY
Concerning Javascript/HTML5 approach, probably the best way to solve this problem nowadays would be to make use of some HTML5 canvas library like:
- http://www.kineticjs.com/
- http://fabricjs.com/
or SVG library like Raphael.js:
- http://raphaeljs.com/
However, this is a complex problem and you'll hardly make a good and scalable solution without deeper understanding of Javascript programming.
Take a look at a similar thread, might help you.

I would like to know what is the best approach, based on good programming practices to show an external webpage (say Facebook or Twitter) on my website while being able to modify the HTML and CSS before showing it.
I know that I could use an iFrame however based on some opinions the iFrame does not seem to be a good programming practice (width issues, ugly scrollbars, etc).
Is there a better approach?
Update: Question was put on "too broad", in order to limit the possible answers I would like to know if it possible to change the CSS (and only CSS) of an iFrame, the user Muhammad Umer commented that it would be possible but provided no more details. Someone knows how to achieve this?
This can be done in PHP. First I want to suggest to look for API's. Facebook has some nice API's which allow you to show them on your website, with some options to customize is.
The more difficult (and lots of work to maintain) is using file_get_contents() and using some parsers and regex to get the parts you want. Allthough facebook (and some other sites) might prove difficult, they load some parts via JS, so file_get_contents cant get everything
Again, API's are the way to go.

I'm currently using a very simple CMS which I coded myself in PHP and mysql. It's main purpose is to add news articles and reviews. I've had some issues with security at times and uploading images. Would it be fairly simple to implement something like Joomla to my static existing html pages which are coding linking to my database?
Any help or nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.
Depending on exactly how complex your site is, what your plans for the future are, and whether you'll ever have any collaborators, you might want to avoid Joomla. It's a very big, complex piece of code, with a lot of features. Joomla assumes a lot about your site, adding weight which may be unnecessary. For example, Joomla will always create a session, using its own database storage, whether you require sessions on your site or not [*].
If you want something a bit more lightweight, take a look at Perch or Kirby. Both are excellent, simple applications for web content management.
[*] Caveat: I am not a very experienced Joomla user (have been using 1.5 for about 6 months), so take the details of what I say with a pinch of salt, but bear the general point in mind.

I'm looking at http://www.phpdoc.org/, but wondering what you guys have found useful. I'm wanting something that will help document our code, but also procedures and tasks that are performed frequently on the site. What's the best solution for this in a linux/PHP/MySQL environment?
PHPDoc is the way to go.
You will have:
Self-generated documentation files;
Contextual function docs on the editors that support it (a lot of them);
An easy way to check if your documentation is up to date (you'll see the docblocks every time you use a function/method; DOCS folders are usually doomed to oblivion - you only look at them if you didn't work on a project for a while, and at that point they will almost automatically be obsolete);
Since I guess you will use docblocks anyway, it does not make huge amounts of sense to have to mantain a separate docs folder.
A DOCS folder you have under version control. For dashboard archiving, I find photos useful.
phpdoc is just for documenting code. It's not meant to document architecture. You can use UML for that.

I am getting ready to learn PHP. I am looking for advice from other ColdFusion developers out there who have made the transition. I'm also looking for a guide showing some tag equivalencies (fingers crossed). Thanks!
Not sure why you just accepted a terribly biased answer like Best solution: stick with ColdFusion or Railo :) from ColdFusion is just better.
However, if you are looking at an idea of commands I would say start by looking at some common string / functions in php by going through things that might matter to you like:
arrays (http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.array.php)
strings (http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php)
You could also look at some frameworks (MVC - similar to coldfusion MVC frameworks):
CodeIgniter (http://codeigniter.com)
CakePHP (http://cakephp.org/)
Hope that helps, rather than give a blatantly one sided answer.
There are large differences between CF & PHP however both are beginner friendly (from my perspective) and offer great documentation.

As a developer, I've learned a heck of a lot from the global community and I believe like any community, you need to participate and contribute.
I've worked on several small projects that I want to offer up for free, but I want them to actually be used.
For the sincerity of this post, I am not going to promote them here.
What are some good ways to offer a free resource like a widget that does x,y, and z, for free. With an honest-to-god intent to just contribute?
Assuming it's open source, add to freshmeat for example to help people find it.
Write really good documentation, with examples etc. There's load of code out there which is lacking documentation making it pretty useless no matter how good the code is.
Make it easy for people to report bugs, suggest features, etc.
make a screencast showing how you made the software - other programmers will watch the video and may in-turn blog about it
i'm sure you'll get better suggestions than that though, good luck
