Approve content in liferay - liferay

Ive added web content to a page with liferay but it says its not approved. How can I approve it? As far as I know I have full privilages.
Thanks

You either have just saved the article as draft (instead of publishing it - there are some buttons at the bottom of the content editor) or you have a workflow active where somebody has to approve the article - depending on the workflow it can also be multiple levels of approval.
Check ControlPanel/Workflow in the "content" section to see if workflow is active for the current community/organization (and don't mix it up with the Workflow part in the "Portal" section of control panel that just provides the global defaults.

Blog post bypassing workflow in Kentico

I have a situation where blog posts when saved are being instantly available on the site despite:
Having workflow applied that has a specific "publish" step
The repeaters on the blog page having "show published" ticked
This only seems to be affecting blog post pages, other pages behave as expected.
Any suggestions? Kentico 9 EMS
Check to see if the Workflow general setup has "automatically publish changes" checked by mistake.
Also, double check to see if the Blog section is covered by multiple workflow scope or not. Check the Workflow tab of a blog post and see which workflow is actually been enforced.
This was a self induced problem.
We found a global event handler that was being used to set some default properties on page creation, in which was a checkout and checkin. Looks like the checkout/checkin was publishing the page and then setting it back to edit mode.
Resolved by removing the checkout/checkin from the code.

Custom branding in SharePoint Online

How can I change look and feel of a SharePoint site in SharePoint online. I want to be able to change the master page i.e remove left navigation and change layout and what is there in masterpage.
There are so many articles and samples in the web that provide information on changing the UI of a Sharepoint site,
Below are some- >

You can have custom css files and do changes to master pages using the SharePoint designer which can be downloaded using the below link.

Still its preferred to go with out of the box themes as MS push updates to your sites which may break your customizations, even though there will be a notification in your Admin center it can only be seen by the admins and if the message is not passed it may break your customizations.

Custom Welcome Screen in Dynamics CRM

I Want to Show custom welcome screen when a user logs in to Dynamics CRM 2016. I searched and i just got how to disable welcome screen tour but i couldn't find how to show my own custom screen (message or HTML).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Make a dashboard with a single large HTML web resource.
Place your content inside that HTML web resource.
Set that dashboard as the default for new users. Display a specific dashboard by default for a specific user role
You can also add your welcome page as HTML web resource, add its link to your sitemap and set this sitemap subarea as a default tab for every user.
EDIT (detailed description):
Create custom HTML web resource and publish it in CRM.
Edit your sitemap to contain link to newly created web resource. Sample configuration below:
Sample
In my case my web resource HTML name is "new_welcome.html"
Go to user's personal options and set your new site.map position to be your user's default tab. You may do this with CRM interface (separately for every user :()) or with the tools for personal options mass update (for example with User Settings Utility from XrmToolBox)
Sample results of above mentioned operations:
Solution of you problem is Announcements.
Its easy to configure and easy to circulate the information across all the users.
Follow the below links for more information about Announcement,
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm-customer-center/broadcast-announcements-to-an-entire-organization.aspx
I would suggest not to use announcements because of the following reasons:
It is legacy functionality from CRM 2011 version.
It does not support rich text formatting or html components, images, etc.
You still need to create custom web resource to present it to the end user (so from the work effort perspective it also does not make sense)

Editing Sharepoint Site Homepage in Sharepoint Developer

I have just edited my publishing site home page in SharePoint Designer. The page originally contains some web parts.
I am a newbie as far as SharePoint branding is concerned. I did the editing in Advance Mode when I realized that I couldn't edit areas outside my Web Part Zones and since I need to do that, I tried it using the advance mode. I edited the page adding some inline CSS styling and even added some additional Web Part Zones. Everything looked good when I previewed so I saved and thought all was okay. But to my surprise, Only my account (System Account) can see the changes I made. Every other user on the domain are still see the original page without any of my recent changes.
I have done the Check-In and Publish circle over and over again but no luck.
Does any one have any idea as to what I might have done wrong here and what I can do to fix the issue.
Follow below steps for publishing:
Select “Publish a major version,”. When
prompted to approve the master page, click Yes. This automatically
invokes a SharePoint master page approval page, where you
will find your new master page listed at the top of the page.
Click the drop-down menu beside the master page. Select
Approve and select the Approved radio button. Click OK. Your
master page is now saved and approved in SharePoint.
Navigate to your top-level site collection, and click Site Actions -> Site Settings
Under Look and Feel, select the Master Pages link. For both the
Site and System Master Page settings, select your new master
page from the drop-down menu.
Once you click OK, your changes should be available to all users

How to remove My Pages and My Submissions from Liferay Control panel

I'm currently working on a Liferay project and want to get rid of the My Pages and My Submissions menu items on the right side so that users of my site do not bother with them. Tried looking for the jsp that renders the left side menu, but could manage to remove the item from there. Any ideas how to proceed? Thanks!!!
You could add the following lines to your portal-ext.properties (usually found in webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes under tomcat):
#deactivate Personal Community with *private* pages
layout.user.private.layouts.enabled=false
#deactivate Personal Community with *public* pages
layout.user.public.layouts.enabled=false
#hide Personal Community from my places
my.places.show.community.private.sites.with.no.layouts=false
and restart the server.
Recently I had the same task assigned. Fortunately removing this items from the menu is quite straightforward since the control panel is nothing more than a special layout for displaying portlets that are deployed in the portal server. You can read my blog post here to check the simple steps on how to customize the Control Panel and My Account portlet.

You probably rather want to limit the permissions to people. Don't give out global administration roles, but create your own roles, "Define Permissions" for them as you need them and leave out the permissions that you don't want to provide to your users - e.g. "access in control panel" or the general permission to add a page.
Otherwise you'll miss other ways to use the interface and still allow them to add pages through other means (e.g. "Manage/Page").
Edit: The easiest way to get rid of "My Submissions" is to undeploy the workflow plugin (kaleo-web) - of course you can only do this if you don't need workflow.
