How can I display Template Variables in the Articles Overview in MODX? - modx

In my "Articles" resource in the manager I have a table that shows all my posts. There I see: publish date/Post Title/Author/Comments and Tags.
I wish to have also a specific template variable to be displayed into this table.
Do you know, if there is a way to do that?
(I am happy for every hint, because "Articles" doesn't offer categories,so I need to create this option by template variables.)
By the way, do you know why there is no active forum for ModX questions? It is very difficult to get feedback or help for this content management system.

First of all, articles is discontinued. I just setup a blog and I used collections for it.
Next: forums.modx.com is a good place, twitter is fast if you add the #MODX hashtag to your question. Best option: Link on twitter to your question in MODX forums :)
Now on your main question: there is no option in articles to modify the view in the backend. If you use collections, it's easy and even described in the official docs: https://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/collections
As you can see on the image, you can have images (and all kind of TVs) in the overview. Collections can display all kind of TVs
As Articles and Collections is just another way to present resources inside the backend, it's 100% compatible. So you can change from articles to collections quite easily.

How can I pull all the comments from every modern page/news post in SharePoint?

We used to have a legacy PHP Site as an internal blog site but have since recreated the site in SharePoint. The native SharePoint reporting gives us almost everything we need but our admins need a single place/page to view all the comments from every modern page/news post.
Is there a way I can pull all the comments and show them in a list? I know there's an API I can use but I was hoping there would be an easier way instead of developing an spfx webpart. Ideally a list with the page/news post title, the comment, who posted it, when it was posted and a link to the article would be ideal.

Netsuite Sitebuilder My Reference Checkout 3D secuer

I'm creating a new sitebuilder website, and have successfully set up "My Reference Checkout". However, we haven't been able to get it integrated with 3D secure, meaning that no customers can check out (unless we remove all the security, which we don't want to do).
Looking at netsuite's documentation on SuiteAnswers here, it gives us some very generic pointers about how we have to create some .ss and .js files, and modify some existing front-end code in Custom checkout. However, AFAICT the examples are not useful - they don't tell us where to put these ss & js files, where to modify the front end, and some of the files don't even seen to be related etc.
Does anyone have any better documentation for how to integrate with 3D secure, or please can someone point me in the right direction?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
This is a pretty broad question, and old, so you may have found the answer, but I would recommend reading and searching at this resource: https://devsc.publishpath.com. It uses your netsuite login and password. There is a blog post at this location: http://devsc.publishpath.com/Default.aspx?p=2079436&Add=Show+Post&Key=Show+Post&ContentID=5226425&PostID=1200364&shortcut=developing-your-first-custom-suitecommerce-advanced-module-part-1 that goes through setting up the reference cart if you are using it.
Outside of that here is a brief overview. The SSP and SS pages are setup using a utility in Netsuite under Setup/Site Builder/(Sub-Heading-Web Site Management)SSP applications. Here you set where in the Netsuite file system your SSP and SS pages are. The files themselves should be somewhere in your file structure under your hosting root. They load in order of precedence and have to be deployed. For certain activities (like logging in or checking out) you need to set up touchpoints.

Drupal, a custom searchable user profile should be based on Node or Custom db?

I have to work on a Drupal project to create user profile for some specific users on the website with some special fields. They can be a different role. Main idea is to search. User profile must be searchable with provided criteria.
I have two options,
1- Using node with (content_profile)
2. Create my own form and tables.
One my question is, is it possible to create a separate search machanism for custom created database? and is there a way to cache search result? or should I use node based? please advice some one with idea on this..
Thanks.
Yes it is possible to create a search mechanism using views and exposing the custom table to views via the api (there is a blog post here: http://blog.menhir.be/2008/10/22/expose-database-fields-to-views-in-a-custom-drupal-module/ and there is more info using the advanced help module (http://drupal.org/project/advanced_help) (install and look through the views documetation), then you could also use the Views caching.
A custom table and fields would be my preferred method if you have a lot of users as the profile tables can get pretty big (this may not be an issue for you), or you could use the content profile module http://drupal.org/project/content_profile and possibly save yourself some work!
If you wanted to perform a complete custom search not using views you'd probably need to implement that and the caching yourself if you went the custom field/table route, but you'd gain a lot of flexibility.

How to extend the Orchard CMS to support the features of a custom portal?

I am kind of new to Orchard CMS and I need to implement some kind of a portal on this technology. Basically the system need to have a couple of blogs and some additional content types (like events, webcasts, photo galleries etc). Whenever I navigate to a blog (for example http://localhost/OrchardLocal/blog1/) I want to have a menu with the following actions:
Latests posts - which will contain the latests posts of that blog
Webcasts - which will display the entries of type Webcast from the owner of the blog
Photo Galleries - same as Webcasts but with Photo Galleries
Events - same as Webcasts but with Events
On the main page of the portal (http://localhost/OrchardLocal/) I need to somehow have all this information aggregated. So I have to be able to see the latest posts, webcasts, photo galleries and events from all the authors.
I would like to know what would be the best approach to implement this.
There is a great blog post abount finding content in Orchard which should give you enough to start with.
If you want to implement the links as a menu you might want to look at the INavigationProvider interface which has a couple of good implementations (notably Pszmyd's Advanced Menu Module as well as the core Orchard ones).

Sharepoint web part for editing list items

I'm trying to create a web part that will enable users to edit items without ever leaving the AllItems.aspx page. The web part should have a similar functionality like the EditForm.aspx page.
I've created a simple web part with a ConnectionConsumer("Row") that successfully shows the selected ListItem but I'm trying to figure out how to programmatically create a form depending on the list with a save/update functionality.
I would appreciate a simple solution or a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks
What you are trying to do is not possible out of the box but it should be possible to use the SPGridView and the ListFieldIterator decorated with AJAX to get the things working as you wanted.
You can refer to the below items and build a control that does what you want.
Using SPGridView in WebParts
Articles on ListFieldIterator
ListFieldIterator
Once you build it you can try sharing the code as this is a pretty common thing everyone wants and I didn't find a good implementation of this kind so far.
This definitely sounds like a nice feature. I would love it if you could put the solution on codeplex, you're choice of course.
I've had a sneak peak on SharePoint 2010 and AJAX enabled editing is found on lots of places so I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of feature like the one you are working on will be included.
Good luck!
