How to add a news section and add links to phpbb forum - forum

Hey there im in the middle of editing my site, and i came across this site, and am looking to get my site as the same layout with the navigation bars and such, but im new to phpbb so am stuck :( here is the site http://www.3commandobrigade.com/
when you go to the home tab it shows all the posts that are posted in the "News" section under the category General forums
and also how do i add the nav links like on that site, so it has Home, Forum, Schedule, i was under the idea it was something like "Nav Links"
thanks!

That forum is using a phpBB Extension called Portal. I haven't found a new version of that mod/extension but here is a link to a version made for the phpbb 3.1.3 which should be compatible with the current version. You should be able to create two columns of news in the admin panel if you want so, but it should be some work.

Acumatica Wiki Binding to Custom Page

Is there any way to bind wiki article to my customized page.
For example, I have developed new page with pageID "PO309999".
Then I have created new Wiki Article with articleID "PO_30_99_99".
But when I click on Help for my page
There is no article to show in this view.
I have looked for this in Documentation and don't understand what is missing.
The answer is Yes to creating a wiki article linked to a custom pages (you can do it for generic inquiries too). We have many configured this way.
I created my first wiki article linked to a GI (should be same for custom page) by doing the following:
Make sure your custom page or GI is in the sitemap
Create the wiki article using the name of the page as you have done ("PO_30_99_99" for example). I also set the wiki article name to the same name as the sitemap entry title - but not required.
The wiki should now be linked to the new article.
You might want to try these steps over again by deleting the article you are having trouble with and trying again to make sure the correct references are auto generated by Acumatica. This could be a problem if you created the wiki article before your sitemap entry existed.
As Needed: The person that does our articles sometimes goes into SQL to changes some values to get things to work (could be old habits as the wiki packaging was improved over previous versions). You can do this via export of the article, modify the xml, and re-import if needed without going into sql. This assumes you want to keep your current article. Otherwise should be able to in the UI.

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).

How to get blog posts back to blog if post web part has been deleted in SharePoint 2010?

Let's say I have a blog and delete the web part that shows the posts. How can I get this back? If I add a new web part and display the list of posts it doesn't keep the standard formatting for blog posts.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
If you closed it rather than deleting it (the two are different technically but appear much the same to users) you can restore it from the closed web part gallery.
If it is actually deleted you probably need to export the web part from a working site and adjust the guids in the file - SharePoint blogs aren't as customization-friendly as the other site templates.

how to localize new posts in asp.net...?

I am doing my final year project and have decided to make a website in asp.net. For that I'll be using Micrsoft Visual Studio 2008. I'm making a Real ESTATE properties website. I want to know how to localize or create new posts in asp.net( like in WORDPRESS) and also when I hit SEARCH it should search for the desired keyword or the searched post.
If post is not possible then it should display pages...
Asp.net is just the language not the CMS. You have to install a CMS for blogs such as dotnetnuke or BlogEngine.net

How to Export Blog Posts from SharePoint Team Site?

I have a team site blog with many posts that I wish to export. I don't see any option outside of exporting the post titles to an Excel sheet. Any ideas? OPML?
I recently moved my blog from SharePoint to WordPress using BlogML. I first came across it in a post from Chad Gross - Migrating your SharePoint blog
That method involves connecting through Access, which I don't have set up, so I ended up making my own BlogMLWriter that connects directly to the SharePoint object model based on the ones in codeplex for other platforms. I'm happy to send the code if you need it before I get around to finishing the writeup.
I know this is old, but the given solution did not work for me, either. I ultimately had to create a new view that showed everything. Then, I could switch to that view and export the posts into a spreadsheet. Unfortunately, any pictures included in the posts do not get exported. Frankly, it's a pain in the butt.
You can export it the following way:
Go to site action -> site settings -> modify all site settings -> site libraries and lists-> posts->
Again click on the post in the breadcrumbs. Then you reached in post library. From there you can export it to Excel.
