I'm developing a SharePoint site with multi-language feature.
My customer whants that when the language is changed, not only the labels are going to be traslated, but also the content: list contents, for example links descriptions, web part titles, announcements content, etc... (he's supposed to insert the content for all the languages the SharePoint site supports). How can I achieve this?
Thanks a lot

The only out-of-the-box option I can think of is variations. More info on this page: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ecm/archive/2010/04/12/variations-in-sharepoint-2010-connecting-people-with-content.aspx

We have a project to migrate a site from MediaWiki to a SharePoint modern page. We easily conducted a migration using a Metalogix tool.
However, from a design perspective, what is the best way to manage Categories in the SharePoint modern site, so that the Category functionality would be similar to the Category functionality in MediaWiki (Wikipedia)
Should we use SharePoint Lists for this functionality, or should we use tagging?
Thank you very much in advance for your helpful answers
Got an answer here at this link

I would be inclined to use tagging through a custom site column in the
"Site Pages" library. On the page, you can display tag using the "Page
properties" web part and finally tie it all together using the
"Highlighted content" web part filtered on the tag.
I'm a developer with 5 years of MCMS development and without a single know how with SharePoint.
I want to use the CMS capabilities of Sharepoint to migrate my applications but I DONT KNOW HOW TO START!!!!!!
In my actual projects i have a Visual Studio solution with all my code, my templates and my usercontrols...
I cannot see how can i do the same thing with Sharepoint :(
I want to customise my site like i did before, i want to create pages based on templates like i did before.
Anyone knows where i can find a walkthrough that explains me that?
Thank U All.
Unfortunately I think you are going to have to learn SharePoint. Even the WCM features are a big topic, and probably the best book is Andrew Connell's "SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development" - I don't think a 2010 version is available yet. The good news is that I think the MCMS product had a big influence on how the SharePoint WCM features were architected, so the underlying principles will be similar.
SharePoint 2010 has a Visual Web Part that will encapsulate a user control which might make the transition easier. Also see my answer to this question about converting an ASP.NET site to SharePoint which might have some relevant information.
Most of the information about converting from MCMS to SharePoint is for the 2007 version of the product. This two-part article on MSDN seems to be the best starting point.

Problem is, SharePoint is not MCMS, no matter how Microsoft tries to brand it as its successor.
Creating sites in SharePoint is almost opposite of how things we were done in MCMS were you build from the ground up using ASPX templates, user controls and placeholders. In SharePoint, you'll have to strip out most of the OOB stuff you don't need. The recommended approach to custom development is through web parts, CAML, and the SharePoint APIs.
I keep my Process Documents on SVN and I want to create a Wiki page includes the information about these files. We use SharePoint in the company for basic document sharing and team sites. As it is mentioned in
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/256407/what-are-your-biggest-complaints-about-sharepoint SharePoint Wiki lacks of usability. I need an easy to use wiki tool which is capable of showing the content like WikiPedia contents and it would be great if I could have the SharePoint tree view and Active Directory authentication also. I googled it and found Atlassian's Confluence and it seems that this product is capable of the requirements. We use Jira for issue tracking, so we can use it's reporting in dashboards. I need and it has a Wiki part which displays wiki pages in tree view. It should be like http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/images/tour/full/page_tree.png http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/images/tour/full/page_tree.png
Does anyone used Confluence or have an idea for other products which meets my requirements
Have you considered our Confluence Sharepoint connector? It sounds like that's what your after, it will allow you to use Sharepoint for all the other features, but use Confluence as your wiki http://www.atlassian.com/sharepoint/.
Seeing that you already use Jira, you could use Confluence and leverage off some level of integration between the two products.
Let me know if you have any questions.

MOSS provides you an excellent option to create a "news" site in your portal.
It adds some "Archive" functionality, but it is very limited - a list of all articles published in that particular site.
My users would like to see something better, a real archive of published articles, browsable by publishing date.
What I've tried so far, is creating a "Calendar" view in the http://portal/publishingsite/pages/ library. It works, but when you click a link in this calendar, it opens the "dispform.aspx?ID=123", not "mytestpage.aspx".
Is it possible to create a custom page using SharePoint designer where I can put a calendar (best if it can be browsed as easy as a typical calendar view in a list) and that links to pages in "page display mode" not in "SharePoint list item display mode"?
Maybe you have seen an easy-to-install and easy-to-maintain page archive feature for MOSS?
Hy,
have you tried one of the templates available at:
Microsoft SharePoint templates
There i saw some pretty good calendar implementations.
(Try the TimeCard Registration).
I'm not sore if it's reusable,but i'm confident that it's a good starting point.
Good luck :)

It looks a little danger-esque to modifying MS template files in the 12 hive, but you can clearly see a 'DataItem.DisplayFormUrl' in...
<a onfocus="OnLink(this)"
href="<%# SPHttpUtility.HtmlUrlAttributeEncode(DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.DisplayFormUrl",""))%>
Change that and you may be good to go.
You could also perhaps consider customizing dispform.aspx:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/sharepointdesigner/HA101191111033.aspx
I suspect, however, that - if you only want to do this with Designer - it's not gonna fly :(
You could look into XSLT for a Data View... but unless you're willing to dish out a little cheddar I don't think you'll find something which is up-to-par with the Calendar view.
I've started using MOSS 2007's wiki feature for storing the ongoing technical documentation related to a project I'm working on, and it occurred to me after I started writing a few pages that there's no easy way to export out all of the pages into one document.
For those of you familiar with MOSS 2007, any ideas how this might be accomplished?
In the past I've created a site feature that exports SharePoint content to PDF and HTML but that was for publishing sites. I assume it needs some rewriting to make it working with the Wiki.
It basically iterates through the navigation of a site and all it's sub sites and reads all the pages stored in the "pages" document library. For each page it then extracts the content using XSLT.
Let me know whether I shall make the source somewhere available.
Cheers,
Michael
You should be able to create a view that shows the content for all of the wiki articles. It's not pretty; you'll get one really long web page. I don't have sharepoint up and running right now to tell you the exact steps, but I have done it before.
BlueRidge has an extension that allows you to export to PDF, but at 640+ euro it's a tad pricey.
You could copy/paste your content into your desired document. It's not convenient but it is a potential work around.
I am also after a solution for this. We have a multilevel Wiki content that follows a levelling structures. Can we automatically export the MOSS Wiki content to a more structured database such as Excel, Access, or XML?
