I am looking for a solution to a very standard concept. In most social communities, there is a way for a user to be alerted if someone responds to something they posted. However, I am not seeing a way to accomplish this in the SharePoint 2013 Community Site. Need some assistance. Is there a way to accomplish this?

You can only alert on an item if it changes. There is no OOB way to alert on a response to an item.
You can set up alerts on the list for new items but not for specific items (other than changes to that item).

I need to move SharePoint events to Google Calendar. So if an event is created on SharePoint, it’ll appear to our client on his Google Calendar. If you tried it before, could you please share with me your experience?
There's no out of the box solution for this however this will help you to solve this. I do suggest having a SharePoint specialist or developer work on this task.
I am trying to create a form in Microsoft InfoPath designer 2013 using a SharePoint list, and I would like to allow users to designate who approves each stage.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might do this?
Please note that I do not have the access in my organization to use SharePoint Designer in case that was part of your solution.
Is there any reason you can't use an OOTB Approval Workflow for this?
This should be a case of the user kicking off the workflow after the user starting the workflow picks who the various approvers are from the People Editor.
You can add a people picker column in if you wanted to add a field to the form to allow someone to put a user in manually and then read that value in during the workflow. On the downside, a people picker would allow them to choose from any person / person or group on the site. I would advise against basing a workflow on a text input like that (people picker or not).
Better to use a multiple choice field to have someone select that they'd like to go down x path or to notify a set group of people and wait for x number of responses/approvals.
Is there an easy way to set up SharePoint 2013 alerting the list item creator when someone like his item?
I was wondering if that could be achieved via workflow - any ideas?
Thanks
I am sorry if this has been asked before, but a google search of stackoverflow didn't find anything relevant.
We are about to pilot blogging within our organisation and as part of compliance we require every comment left on a blog to have a link associated with it for users to flag the comment as inappropriate.
My thinking is that this link could simply change the comment's status from approved to pending and possible send an email to the approvers to go and check it.
By default we need comments to not need pre-approval.
Could anyone please explain the different ways of achieving this? Is there a way of achieving this using SharePoint settings (i.e. no code)?
i think you want to have approve/reject only when users flagged/report that comment ..
it is possible to do with sharepoint designer without any code or coding
you should define a workflow that if creator same as modifier approved automatically and when someone edit or flagged as blob ... change that item status to suspend and workflow not fired. because that condition is not true. and modifier and creator different people
Good Morning,
I'm using SharePoint Designer 2007 to create a workflow for a MOSS site I have created.
What I'm looking to do is have the workflow send out an email if a document in the library hasn't been modified for the past 30 days (and it's Status field is not set as "Closed"), but I'm stumped as to how I can do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
You could try using the "Pause for duration" action (under "Core Actions" when you are adding an action to your SPD workflow).
However, I've worked on something that had a similar requirement and we decided that workflow was not the best option. We have a console application that is scheduled to run everyday and queries the list for "old" items. If it finds any old items, then it sends out an email to the user.
