We have a need to create page templates with fixed sections/web parts similar to the on-prem versions of publishing page layouts and pages. What is the recommended option on SPO? Publishing site templates are still available on SPO. Is that future proof given MSFT is advocating to migrate publishing pages to modern pages. Thanks in advance.
Modern pages is recommended by Microsoft. So I would suggest you creat template for modern pages in SharePoint Online.
That's very easy, you could refer to the documentation:

I am using Kentico portal to make an E-commerce site.If I wish to change the design of available sample E-commerce site.Would it be a tidious task ?
Example : If I download e-commerce design templates (i.e html and css files) and I wish to change design of each page of sample kentico site (home page,product detail page etc.)then, what is the most suitable and quick way to achieve this ?
How should I update the html/css of each page of available site with downloaded templates? OR Should I create entirely a new e-commerce site in the portal ?
The out of the box sites are meant to be used as examples and references not to build a production site off of. The markup used on the Ecommerce site will also be different, considerably different than your purchased template. I've found it much easier and faster to start from scratch with a blank site and implement all of the design that way. Make sure you take advantage of shared layouts and templates, this will help make development and re-skins in the future easier.
I have been asked to customize a SharePoint 2007 wiki site into a 'Wikipedia' like interface and functionality.
After a bit of goggling it turns out that wiki's are not that readily customizable!!
Any recommendations or resources?
Edit:
As, this site is part of the SharePoint portal it is not possible for me to port to a different tool. And, my solution requires to add content types and webparts on the wiki pages.
Now, I am following the approach mentioned by Pavan to add a seperate wiki file for your customization.
If you have any other approach than this, please share.

We have a requirement from a client for porting an ASPX website to sharepoint :
Though the site is being served in ASPX there are no form submissions so effectively, they are just static pages without any server side processing required.
However, there is a common header and footer being used.
Here are some of the features being used in the existing site :
sifr for font substitution (using non standard web fonts)
flash animations
javascript and some jquery
common header and footer for all pages
My question is how feasible is it to port this website to sharepoint ?
Can i use sifr (or flash for that instance) in sharepoint ? or do i have to port it to silverlight ?
What is the general procedure for converting web applications to sharepoint ? Also i came across this http://www.metalogix.net/Products/Website-Migration-Manager-for-SharePoint/ for migration of website to sharepoint.
Can javascript be used in sharepoint ?
How can i have common header and footer in sharepoint documents ?
Pardon my ignorance or any discrepancies in any of my knowledge since i havent worked with any microsoft technologies i would really appreciate some relevant answers from the community here.
Thanks.
Yes, you can use flash, javascript and jquery in sharepoint. Keep in mind that sharepoint is built over asp.net.
I never used sifr, but if it is just flash there shouldn't be any problem using it with sharepoint. Anyway, you can start considering using webfonts instead.
Common header an footer pages are also easy to implement with sharepoint as you can use the master pages, wich are exactly for that.
We did something quite similar to that and what we did was place the pages under Layouts and attach them to the master page. This is about 20 mins of work, but it looks like SharePoint. We needed that to integrate an LOB system to become a part of a large MOSS portal
I keep my Process Documents on SVN and I want to create a Wiki page includes the information about these files. We use SharePoint in the company for basic document sharing and team sites. As it is mentioned in
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/256407/what-are-your-biggest-complaints-about-sharepoint SharePoint Wiki lacks of usability. I need an easy to use wiki tool which is capable of showing the content like WikiPedia contents and it would be great if I could have the SharePoint tree view and Active Directory authentication also. I googled it and found Atlassian's Confluence and it seems that this product is capable of the requirements. We use Jira for issue tracking, so we can use it's reporting in dashboards. I need and it has a Wiki part which displays wiki pages in tree view. It should be like http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/images/tour/full/page_tree.png http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/images/tour/full/page_tree.png
Does anyone used Confluence or have an idea for other products which meets my requirements
Have you considered our Confluence Sharepoint connector? It sounds like that's what your after, it will allow you to use Sharepoint for all the other features, but use Confluence as your wiki http://www.atlassian.com/sharepoint/.
Seeing that you already use Jira, you could use Confluence and leverage off some level of integration between the two products.
Let me know if you have any questions.

This may be a simple question, but I am having a problem with it.
I have multiple publishing SharePoint sites & sub-sites with a customized master page. I now have a sub-site based off the Blog site template. The custom master page is not being applied to it. I checked to make sure the site's master page setting it pointing to the custom master page.
Do Blog Site Templates handle master pages differently? If so, how do I brand these blog pages? Do I have to handle them individually?
Thanks in advance!
Yes the blog sites use a different masterpage. You will have to go into the blog site using SharePoint designer and create a custom master page in the gallery.
I heartily recommend using the CKS:EBE if you'll be using blogs on SharePoint. It has a multitude of improvements over the out of the box blog template including theming, trackbacks, spam protection and many others. Give it a shot!
