What are some recommended WordPress plugins that make building an online user manual more effective? I've been browsing the plugin directory, but was wondering if anyone has already been down this path and could make some recommendations.
Edit: Doh! Using a wiki didn't even occur to me until these responses! I started building a site using WordPress and it seems I had a bit of "tunnel vision".
dokuwiki etc.
MediaWiki is extremely easy to use, and I think would make an exceptionally better platform for a user manual over wordpress. Wordpress may excel at being a front end CMS but it doesn't handle an extensive network of pages very well at all.
EDIT - I run a couple of different MediaWiki installations, and they are just as easy if not easier to maintain than Wordpress (which I use for my blog)
Using blogging software to make a user manual seems extremely unconventional. Have you considered using wiki software instead? For example, MediaWiki, which is also written in PHP.
I agree with thaBadDawg. WordPress uses a single dropdown to allow you to select a Parent Page for the current page (hence a hierarchy). That works fine... until a lot of pages start piling up. Wikis are comparatively better suited for handling the type of structure you'd need.

I have built a web app for a client using the codeigniter framework. The client already has a basic website for his business built using Joomla.
Now that our web app is nearing completion our client wants us to somehow integrate the two so that movement between them seems seamless to the user. They don't want users hopping back and forth between sites. "The two should be under the same domain if possible", was asked of me at one point.
I'm unfamiliar with Joomla, however based on my research it looks like developing a component or using an Iframe is the best way to go about attempting this.
Are there any downfalls to this I should be aware of? Is this even feasible with Joomla. I've read where people have talked about doing this or similar things but have never seen a completed project. I've spent a lot of time the last couple days reading through forums and Joomla documentation and honestly feel like I've been running in circles on deciding how to do this.
Any recommendations or examples of how it could be done are appreciated.
Cheers.
Integrating the CodeIgniter site into Joomla would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. "Messy" is too weak a word to describe the problem.
Moving between the two might be made relatively seamless by putting the CodeIgniter site in a subdomain of the Joomla site. Links on the Joomla pages would direct the browser to the subdomain and the other way around from CodeIgniter.

Does anyone of you ever heard about a PHP open source solution that would have these features:
Users login/registration (ideally connect via Facebook)
Upload photos: users can upload photos and exchange them with administrators.
No photo will be shown publicly (only to users and admin)
Rich backend administration with different roles and views on the users and their uploaded photos.
Cheers,
Nicolas.
http://gallery.menalto.com
but it is not a programming question by any means
I think you should go for award-winning Joomla, it has thousands of plugins for photos, user handling and more, has great admin panel as well.
In my oppinion Joomla offers nearly all of those features, excepta good photo gallery, but there's "phoca gallery", with is a very good addon and also open source afaik.
I use it on several pages, it works very fine and has a very userfriendly backend (helped me a lot at the beginning)
Without finding exactly what I am looking for, I guess I just have to start everything from scratch, using a PHP framework (I'm gonna use cakePHP because of its large community).
Thanks everyone,
Nicolas

we have developed e-learning web site for one of our customer.
recently he asked he need SCORM feed.
i dornt know whether my system is compatible with scrom.
do any body know any opensource php tool or lib to generate scrom from existing data.
thanks
The first thing you need to determine is whether your site would be considered a learning management system or a piece of content. The SCORM implementation varies considerably based of what you are trying to develop. Check out http://www.scorm.com/scorm-explained/ for a good explanation of SCORM and how it works.
I have tried Chamilo 1.9.6 and works well with SCORM 1.2 and 2004. This was used as evaluation tool (test) with up to 90 questions.
Have a look at Moodle project - SCORM module: http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/SCORM_module It's open source, but I do not know, it the SCORM related code is easy to use outside Moodle.
www.dokeos.com comes with open source edition containing SCORM module.
Or try Chamilo, it is maybe better fork of dokeos.
Drupal has a limited support for SCORM, too.
Good reputation has eFront.
Ilias is certified for SCORM 2004.
TinyLMS is interesting project - JavaScript only.
Also get idea from http://www.vsscorm.net/run-time-environment-rte/run-time-environment-downloads/
Don't forget Chamilo!! http://www.chamilo.org
You can try a demo at http://campus.chamilo.org
Chamilo supports SCORM is also a claroline/dokeos fork

Instead of writing a PHP script from scratch, I wanted to know if there are any free scripts, plugins, or APIs out there that allow me to add a search box to my website to search only content on my site.
Google's free version is ad-supported, and I am looking for a clean, simple, and non ad-supported solution. Any ideas?
Check out the zend lucene extension. It provides a PHP interface to the open source Apache Lucene search engine.
Zend_Search_Lucene Documentation:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.search.lucene.html
Apache Lucene project:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html
There are a number of these, one of them are sphider.
Here is a super easy way that works pretty well:

You can create code to paste into your site in about 2 minutes. It doesn't get easier than that. Search is powered by Google, but results are isolated to your website.

I'm looking for a PHP script that can:
Be downloaded and installed on my website
Give my site or any other entered url a SEO score
Suggest improvements for the entered site
Is there somethiing open-source available that does this? Maybe even a paid service that allows me to call a web service from my site?
Hardly as a script. Doing the kind of checks you talk about requires constant development and updating. I doubt anybody is going to hand out this kind of script for free. As for web services, you could ask the big "SEO checkers" whether they offer any licensing options.
Speaking of open source, there is a seo plugin for Wordpress "WordPress SEO by Yoast"
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/
there are two files class-metabox.php and TextStatistics.php which together score text, check for h2 tags, count keyword frequency and density, and a few other simple things. Best way to see it to install the plugin and play with it a little.
However you need to carve out the code yourself to make it work for you.
Sorry, there's no such script out there or open source. One of the reasons you won't find such script is that there's no money to be made from it. That said, some SEO companies have in-house tools built by their developers or custom built based on their specific requirements.
So, think about getting a developer to build one for you - it shouldn't take much to get one running.
