I am trying to upload some static templates that I download from Mijingo (the site I bought a tutorial from to learn ExpressionEngine) The instructions were to upload the templates to the folder with my expressionengine files. I was then under the impression that when I opened the local site I would see the template files. I am not very experienced in this area so I appreciate any direction you can provide.
I am also willing to provide any detail needed to help diagnose this issue. Thank you.
You need to make sure EE knows where your templates are located.
Sign into your control panel and navigate to:
Design -> Templates -> Global Preferences
Change the settings for Save Templates as Files to Yes and then change Server path to site's templates to the location of the template files you added.
Usually I would create a new folder: /themes/site_themes/myNewTheme, then templates will be stored in /themes/site_themes/myNewTheme/default_site/
After changing the settings navigate to
Design -> Templates -> Synchronise Templates, select all the templates and click submit.
Hopefully that should do the trick :)

I'm very new to Liferay theme development and i'm trying to find the most optimal workflow for development.
So I've been experimenting with creating Web Content Templates and Web Content Structures within Liferay CMS configuration.
What I would ideally like to do is create my view "Web Content Structure" outside of Liferay configuration and instead have it as a view/template inside my theme files so that I can have my code peer reviewed and version controlled in Bitbucket.
Is this possible?
Alternatively is there a way to output the values of a given web content instance within my theme?
I'm building a theme for Liferay 7 by the way.
Thanks in advance

You can copy and paste the structure when you create them form the LFR editors into your source code repository.
Also if you know how to define the JSON you can do it straight in the file. The free market templates are even easier to edit in file format. When you're done, you need to go and upload the artefacts to the portal via the editor/file upload option.
You can't stick it into the theme because that approach would not allow you to do updates.
You can search for a community plugin or write your own one that would do structure/template updates during deploy.
I have several books in Gitbook and am bouncing users from the Sharepoint based intranet to documentation in Gitbook. Is there a way to automatically embed the Gitbook content into Sharepoint so it looks like it is integrated within the intranet?
I have successfully integrated Gitbook into Sharepoint. Initially I tried the answer provided above, but that rendered my gitbook inside a window within Sharepoint which looked bad to me.
Here is the way I accomplished it:
Using the Gitbook CLI Toolchain installed on a linux computer, issue the gitbook build command.
Take the output from this command, which is a folder called _book, and upload its contents to your Sharepoint documents folder.
Take care to replicate the folder structure exactly. This is a bit tedious since Sharepoint doesn't allow you to upload folders (at least not my instance).
Rename every .html document in the _book folder to .aspx. This allows Users to visit a page when they click a link rather than downloading the page. If i'm not mistaken, I also had to edit the links to my books pages inside the index.aspx page from .html to .aspx as well.
Here comes the cool part... visit the link provided for the (now) index.aspx. Get the link by clicking the ... button next to the file in Sharepoint. And...bingo, Sharepoint will serve your entire gitbook as a static site.
Hope this helps
I am working with Kentico in Visual Studios (web project) on my local computer. When I add folders or files to the solution and then run it in the browser, the pages do not show up in the CMS desk or site manager. Am I creating these folders/files in the wrong place in the solution (ex: {directory of web project}/CMSPages/filename.aspx)? Or maybe have incorrect settings?
This is not the way how it works - the system has no idea about your pages if you place them on the file system. However, you can create ASPX page templates and then use then for the documents. Please see the Devnet forum

Where Do you want to use this page?
In the visitor sites or CMS Page
If you want to use visitor site you can create a webpart and add you webpart to the Page create on content tree.
If you want to use in the cmsdesk the you need to register your page in the module
I'm creating a custom master page for my SharePoint 2010 publishing site. There are images, css files and js files associated with this custom master page. Where should they be stored?
I'm using the SiteAssets library for now - is this a good choice?
Thanks.
Yeah that is a good choice, also make sure you Provision all these files using Feature, this way upate of Files becomes easier.
In my opinion, you should store everything under the site collection libraries, this way you get:
Easy recovery in the cases you need to re-install the server[s]
Versioning and permissions on resources
Separation of resources between site collection
Simple deployment between environments, as you do not need to copy the files manually or design and deploy a feature to do it for you
The preferred place is of course Style Library, this is what it is intended for.
If you are creating and deploying your files through code, you can also use the _layouts directory to store your files. This makes it simpler to share files between site collections. Visual Studio 2010 makes it really simple to add a reference to the Images folder and any files will then be deployed to the _layouts/Images URL.
The only advantage of this is that a site collection administrator cannot make changes to these files, only someone with access to the physical server. (Although this can also be a disadvantage if your logos or images are changing regularly).
I usually store them in _catalogs/masterpage/ORGNAME/...
You can refer this blog for actual implementation

Does any body know how can i change the layout of a dotnetnuke website. I need to modify the standard layout
You can use a custom skin or modify the default skin that comes with the DNN installation. The default skin files are in [Website]\Portals_default\Skins\MinimalExtropy\ where [Website] is your DNN web site folder. If you are new to skinning and have a lot of questions, I am sure that the DNN forums will be helpful - DNN Skinning forums
You can do that by editing the CSS. I had similar issue, for which I used " inspect element" in google chrome that helped me in recognizing div elements and css properties. You can find css in portals_default\Skins\DarkKnight (or your own skin name) \skin.css
If your wanting to do anything outside of the CSS (ie, turn off the search bar on a page); then you have to have full access to the site -- open the site via FTP or download all the files, then you can modify the 'default' page, or the skin file you want to change. my suggestion is to make a 'copy' of the skin default page you want to change, give it a new name, and then save it back to the server. When you go to change the 'skin' theme from the 'site manager' you will see your new skin page listed as an option. Modifying from the CMS does not allow you to modify the actual 'page', only its 'parts'. There is also a starter kit available for Visual Studio, google "DNN Starter Kit" which you can create custom modules, skins and containers.
