I'm using Kentico 13 .NET Core and trying to build a custom form control. However, as mentioned in following article, I cannot see the 'Form Controls' tab to register my custom control. What am I missing?
https://docs.xperience.io/custom-development/extending-the-administration-interface/developing-form-controls/example-developing-custom-form-controls
Form controls are under Development > Administration Interface. You can add and update them from there.

I want to add a paging control on my custom web-part so I can customize the paging style. I am using a CMSRepeater for binding the data. Thanks
If you are using CMSRepeater you can try to add UniPager to it. This control is easy customizable. Please see this link: https://docs.kentico.com/k9/references/kentico-controls/generic-controls/paging-controls/unipager
You don't need to create a custom webpart to setup different styling for paging. Simply add a repeater to a page template and add the Universal Pager webpart to the page. In the Universal Pager webpart set the Web part control ID in the target control name from the repeater you want to hook it up to. Then in the Universal Pager webpart define your transformations. Again, no need for a custom webpart for this, just use 2 already created webparts together.
For SharePoint 2013 blogs alert me, I need to develop a custom form with less options as shown here. Another reason to go for custom form is better UI.
Current thoughts:
1. Develop a dynamic form using Bootstrap as user clicks on custom alert button
2. Using JSOM to make an entry in alerts
Question - Is it possible to make entry using JavaScript?
My research till now:
http://sitename/_vti_bin/alerts.asmx doesn't have add/update methods.
It has just view & delete methods.
One of the blog published in 2013 says alert doesn't support Client
object model.

Conclusion
From above data, it doesn't seem possible to achieve custom form for alerts using CSOM.
You need to use Custom Action to hide or overwrite the default ribbon button Alert Me.
Create an Application page with you custom logic/forms and use a new Custom Action to Show this forms
I was asked to create a new maint page where data could be added. Just like in the T100 series part1:Maintenance pages. Immediately a few issues arise, why in the Acumatica ERP project I am unable to complete the steps done in the Framework application? I tried to add a new item -> PXgraph option(as described in the instructions) was not available, I couldn’t even add my own c# class from scratch the option was not listed. Instead it just listed page options(will add screenshots below). I attempted to create a new .cs file outside the scope of the project and import it into the file and it wouldn’t recognize it as an available file to import. In the end I attempted to manually drag and drop the file into the Objects folder I wanted the file to be a part of.
VERSUS ERP Add new item
Secondly, I created a new ListView in the page. I was not able to choose my Typename:SO.SOusrPhoneExtMaint.cs file from the list of options. I have rebuilt the project numerous times to see if that was the issue. I manually added the TypeName by going into the source of the aspx and typing it my graph. When I tested the graph I got the following errors that “Invalid type PX.Objects.SO.SOUsrPhoneExtMaint specified for datasource.” My question is why is there a discrepancy between the framework and the erp application for customization and how do I customize the graphs and pages if they don’t take the same approach as the TXX development guides. If I am doing something fundamentally wrong I'd like to know what is the right approach.
I recommend that you use the Customization Project Editor for any customization of Acumatica ERP.
To add a custom form, perform the following actions:
Navigate to the Customization Projects form (SM204505; System > Customization > Manage)
Select an existing customization project or create a new project by clicking "+" on the form toolbar
Click the project name to open the project in the Customization Project Editor
On the navigation pane of the editor, select SCREENS to open the Customized Screens page
On the page, click ADD SCREEN > CREATE NEW SCREEN to open the Create New Screen dialog box
Fill all the required fields and click OK to obtain workable template of your custom form
The New Screen wizard creates the form template and includes it as the following items in the customization project:
two File items - .aspx page code for the new form
a Code item - code template for business logic controller
a Page item - the link to the new page content, which you can further develop by using the Layout Editor
a SiteMapNode item - the site map object of the new form
(For an example see Lesson 11: Creating a Custom Form of the T300 Acumatica Customization Platform Training Guide)
Further you can develop the items by using the tools you prefer.
The custom form will be added to Acumatica ERP after the project is published.
I'm developing a plugin that I would like to link to the existing admin interface components - i.e. link from a grid view to an object crud screen.
I know I can do this using deeplinks like in the examples here.
However I want to maintain my open tabs.
Im using Pimcore 2.0 release. This I would have thought would be a standard feature in the admin section?
Anyone?
Cheers
You should handle grid item click and call pimcore.helpers.openObject(id, type);
For reference you can check onTreeNodeClick handler in pimcore.
How can I Add a custom Ribbon group to an existing OOB Sharepoint Ribbon tab at run time?
I have a custom web part and I want to add a custom group to Ribbon.Documents Contextual tab at run time.
You need to provision tab definition using custom actions, and then in you server code use SPRibbon.MakeContextualGroupInitiallyVisible and SPRibbon.MakeTabAvailable to show up you tab.
Also you can use CKS.Dev extension for visual studio it contains templates which have some markup and code to help you to start.
You can use Javascript to create buttons. Here is the helpful link
http://www.ro.umt.com/blog/2013/11/14/creating-sharepoint-ribbon-elements-in-javascript/
if you look at the createTab() function you see you can create new group using this function CUI.Group .
