I want to add another top level menu item to Umbraco - menu

Running latest build,
Added Business Site starter kit and nForum with Friendly Ghost Skin.
I simply want to add a link to the top level nav for the forum... but Umbraco is challenging..
ideas?

I have not worked with the starter kits but, correct me if I'm wrong, the top nav links are the ones below the "Business Site"-folder.
What you need to do is to create a new node in that folder and they will appear in the top nav.

PJS.Bootstrap Orchard Theme Settings

I'm trying to use the PJS.Bootstrap Theme in Orchard. After I've enabled the module I can see a "Theme-Bootstrap" menu option under Settings on the Dashboard. When I click that menu item, all I see is Settings page with just a "Save" button and nothing else.
I'm expecting to see something where I can switch between different CSS styles. When I look at the source for the Theme I'm seeing items like cosmo, cyborg, darkly, etc.
Is there something else I need to do to get the PJS.Bootstrap Theme to show Settings? I'm using Orchard v.1.10.1
Thanks!
You'll probably need to upgrade the module to .NET 4.5.2, it is currently at 4.5.1. So if you add the theme to your themes folder and add it in Visual Studio, then right click the project and select Properties, here you can change the .NET version. You'll probably also need to remove the references to JetBrains in the BootstrapThemeSettingsPartHandler.cs class.

Using gitlab interface

I am in a process of learning gitlab and have created some test projects.
But I just cannot figure out how to delete these projects. I do not see any "Dangerous Settings " options on my page/project as some forums suggest.
(Please see attached picture of my gitlab page to see what I see)
Please note : when I click on my projects I get "404 Page not found" but the activity log shows that I have pushed files.
Thank you
I depends on the version of GitLab you are using.
Issue 9890 mentions:
When you want to remove a project in its settings (/<owner>/<project>/edit) and confirm the pop-up (where you have to enter the project's name), the project is deleted..
But you're not redirected to a different site automatically. Since the project is gone, the current site /<owner>/<project>/edit does not exist anymore so you're getting a 404.
This was fixed in 8.2.3 (commit 2497d3d)
You can delete those projects from admin area.
Login with the admin account
Go to Admin area (the wrench icon on the top right corner)
Click on Projects on the left side bar
There is a list of your projects, then just delete what you want.
(I am using GitLab 8.2.1)
I realized I wasn't enrolled as admin . That is why I wasn't seeing the gear tool to modify my projects.
Thank you Van and Issue 9890 for your response.

Changing text color in Drupal Views admin pages

Hope this is the right place to ask this question. I am new to the forum (and to Drupal!).
I am developing a site using Drupal. Am using Zenophile Midnight and have created a Zen sub Theme. This has three columns, each with a black background.
I am trying to edit a View but when I open the views/edit node I find when I try to create a Filter the text does not show (presumably because it is black). How can I change this just for these pages and not for the whole site? I know the text is there as I can mark it by dragging over it.
Would be grateful for your help.
If you log in as the administrator of the site and select Administer > Site Configuration > Administration Theme there you can change the theme that is used for site administration. This does not affect the theme used by the site for the public view of the site.
You can select the default Garland theme for administration and your custom theme can be applied to the rest of the site.

Using WSPBuilder to build a solution for a web part I developed

I have only ever deployed web parts from development by clicking F5. Now, I know I have to have a manifest file, feature file, etc and it all goes into a wsp file. I understand the wsp file is what gets added to Central Admin.
So my problem is this. I have found lots of sites that show how to use WSP Builder, but they don't seem to show how/where I add my web part to the WSP Builder project. My understanding is that somehow I should be able to use WSP Builder to create a wsp file containing my already-developed web part.
There are only two approaches that I see would work.
I create a WSPBuilder project (like all the how-tos on WSPBuilder show), then I assume I would somehow add my web part to that project - although I don't know how.
In my web part project, create WSPBuilder -> Build WSP. I have done this, and when I run stsadm on the resulting wsp file, I get it in Central Admin, but its not added to my Site Collection Features or my Web Part Gallery.
Can someone please explain this to me like I am a 6 year old? If you point me to another site, there is a good chance I have already seen it, so then I would ask you point me to the specific lines that tell me how to get my already existing web part packaged into the wsp.
To create a new web part feature with WSPBuilder:
Right-click on the name of your WSPBuilder project in Visual Studioand click Add, New Item.
Select WSPBuilder from the tree on the left and choose Web Part Feature from the list on the right of the dialog.
Enter the title of the web part feature and click OK.
In the dialog that appears enter the title, description and scope and click OK.
Your feature will now be created. You will then need to merge your existing web part code into this feature and configure its XML files.
Read this walkthrough by Tobias Zimmergren for more information. There is another walkthrough here.
Alex, got the right path to solve it. I think the small exception here is that wrongly spelt Add New Item instead of New Project.

How do I hide folders from the Site Hierarchy in SharePoint Services

How do I configure the Site Hierarchy on the left hand side of a SharePoint Services 3.0 site to NOT show folders?
We have thousands of folders and it takes ages to load the page!
Thanks
Go to Site Actions, Site Settings, Modify All.
In 'Look and Feel' click on 'Tree View'.
In 'Tree View' uncheck Enable Tree View.
I'm going to assume you mean the Quick Launch bar. If not then just leave me a comment so I can update the answer.
In a nutshell you want to configure navigation from the site settings page. You an quickly go in and tell it to NOT display any child sites. For detail instructions checkout this page.
One way would be to use the SPWeb.Navigation class to remove all the undesired items from the quick launch bar. For more information check these classes:

Good luck.
