following the tutorials on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq480A0pgqc&list=PL0-GOAU3tpMYm0F1CHYP5_egk0mmAGMab for orchard cms.
Although all tutorials I find are using the dashboard to change the appearance of the site.
Is this the norm? I would like to learn to work from VS for this but cant find much on it....
any advice?
thanks
If you are looking for a starting point I would recommend Skywalker's excellent tutorial series. If you need to do it in orchard, it is in this series.

On themes - they are changed from within Orchard, but developed outside it. VS is not necessary, but gives good intelli-sense on razor views.
The correct place to start on writing a new theme is here: http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Writing-a-new-theme

I have started looking in Orchard CMS a week ago. When it comes to doing anything on my Orchard website using the Admin dashboard, things look pretty promising. But when it comes to inducing a feature say create a Navigation menu and add a vertical sub menu to it,using the code, I just lose track. I am not able to find any kind of help regarding the technical(code level) features available with Orchard. I have gone through the PluralSight videos as well. But beyond that, nothing.
So, could anyone please provide any links or any samples they might have created so that I get some kind of guidance.
Thanks in Advance.
Are there any basic tutorials for creating my first liferay 7 portlet like a Hello World App?
I am new to Liferay and need some help getting started. I have read over the liferay 7 tutorials and I have tried following the Liferay 7 Creating An MVC Portlet, but having trouble understanding where everything goes and how it all works together, and I feel that it is not a comprehensive tutorial.
About Me and My Liferay Aspirations:
I have experience with JAVA, JavaScript and Node.js.
I'd eventually like to be able to display a google map and display content on it, but just want to make some baby steps understanding portlets. Correct me if a portlet is not the right thing for me to be focusing on for this goal.
There is an excellent book "Liferay in Action". It helpls a lot, but there are a lot of mistakes in code. On the other hand, there is "Portlet in action", but it doesn't have free pdf-version :\
Also, you can visit web.liferay.com, I don't like this forum but there are good questions from time to time.
And any other issues you can only google, google and google again. Unfortunately, there is no alternative way.
The tutorials are not going to give you all the details, because they must be as short as possible. That said, the Creating an MVC Portlet tutorial should get you pretty well on your way. Which parts, specifically, are you having trouble understanding?
Have you read the Liferay MVC Portlet introductory tutorial? It's even sparser on details but it might fill in a few gaps.
If you are first time developing using liferay then this link might help you. It is guide to liferay 6.2. Creating plugin portlets is same in liferay 6.2 and 7. Just setup is different.
For creating liferay modules refer liferay 7 documentation.
I need to create advanced search functionality for my Alfresco website to search by custom metadata.
Does Alfresco provide existing functionality for an advanced search or will I have to code this using a new WQS page with a search form and webscripts?
If anyone knows this it would be a great help, don't want to reinvent the wheel and all that :) Thanks.
Given this information it is hard to tell how much effort it is to implement, but it sounds this could be done in a few hours - assuming you have a skilled developer.
Anyways, I would definitely not recommend to build a website based on quickstart unless you really feel comfortable coding "the Alfresco way" - that is Spring Surf and Alfresco Share. Of course you'll need some knowledge about how to code for the Repo as well. Keep in mind that quickstart as a best practice example is meant for educational purposes. Building on top of it most likely involves forking and starting your customization from there on. Before you decide to go this route, make sure a decent amount of your requirements are covered by quickstart.
I am now developing a workflow search in alfresco. For me, I have to create a new page like alfresco advanced search. Here is Share Advanced Search http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Share_Advanced_Search customizing sample.
Here is explanation about alfresco search. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Search
I hope this may help you.
The company I work for (web development) wants to start using a Sharepoint Enterprise Wiki for sharing, amongst other things, best practises and code snippets. To make it readable and more user friendly, we would like the code snippets/ code examples, to be color coded, like they are in Visual Studio. My questions to you smart people are:
Do you know about any Sharepoint Enterprise Wiki-templates that allow color coding code snippets?
If not do you have any good advice on how to enable color coding in a Sharepoint Wiki page? Is there a good plugin to use? Perhaps a web part.
If getting Sharepoint color coding for code snippets is to difficult, can you recommend some good website that helps color code code snippets?
Any advice you might have would be highly appreciated. I have tried to find information on Google, but has not found a good solution yet.
I used a tool a few months ago that scanned a specified website and created a visual hierarchy of the website's page links. It also represented each page with its appropriate screenshot.
Does anyone know what tool this is? Or maybe something that performs the same basic features?
Scratch that, I found it! InfoRapid's Knowledge
It produces visual sitemaps like this one of Google:
You can use :
Visio
Front page
