Does anyone know of a way to convert all the forums, posts, etc. from the core DNN Forum module to the YAF.NET DNN module or Active Forums? I've searched for hours and can't find anything about how to do this other then people saying there's not a scrip to do it yet. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Active Forums has come a long way in the past few months. It has gained some much needed support in the open source world on Codeplex.
There is an upgrade script that I've personally used to migrate forum content from DNN Forum to Active Forums. There is even Tapatalk support for mobile devices.
Feel free to check it out at activeforums.codeplex.com or the activeforums.org website.

I am a web developer who will be starting Sharepoint development and hasn't used Sharepoint much at all from an end user or developer side of things. I am looking for a training class to ramp up on it so I can be a better developer and make more informed architecture decisions. I found this course https://www.pluralsight.com/paths/sharepoint-2016-foundations. Any other ideas?
Im gonna be straight forward with you and tell you that a training class will not take you far for SharePoint Development and are boring as heck.
They will help you understand the basic structure and piece together basic ideas of lists/libraries and what not. This will not help you as developer.
Best bet is to tune to peoples blogs and Microsoft Office Dev community.
SharePoint Maven is great for you giving you a run down on what best practices are and he is pretty current. A lot of good content that deals with on-prem and sharepoint online/office365
https://sharepointmaven.com/blog-sharepoint-best-practices/
Marcs blog has recently gear itself more toward O365 bet there is a lot of good content if youre willing to dig.

If youre stuck on SP16 on-prem I would stear clear of SPFx for now. They dont update it as reguarly as the SPFx for online, still using Node 8. That being said still check it out. But another alternative is using react/angular/vue apps inside content editors leveraging the SharePoint API. I do this whenever I can. SPjeff introduced me to this and I can't thank him enough.

Lots of good stuff here.

I dont know any good resources for navigating SharePoint designer. I just learned as I went along. Google will be your best friend in this situation.
If youre going to be doing online work. Check out the Microsoft Dev center.
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/blogs/
Main points are to tune yourself in to SharePoint happenings and updates. The community for on-prem is shrinking so reach out to the blogs as much as possible. Like anything else you just have to dive in.
Pardon me if this question is not a good fit but i am unable to find relevant material. I have searched across the net and have found many answers but i still want to ask the question.
I am developing a Drupal 7.23 website. It will mostly use views. Not too heavy site. Now, can i host the site on github. We would be two people working on the project and so i thought of using Git. However i am unsure how to do this or if this can be done. hosting the drupal site, the db etc...Can you guide me on this or provide some links...i can carry it from there.
Apologies again if not the right place to ask this question.
GitHub pages could host only static pages, without any database backend.
And generally, GitHub is hosting service for software projects, which means it could help you store your code, but not for websites, because it will not run your code.
I'm interested in learning JavaScriptMVC. I've gone through Getting Started and a bunch of the official docs, but I learn best by looking at other people's code. I'm not finding much else in the way of tutorials or sample/open source apps using it.
Anyone know of good tutorials or open source apps I can look at to see how it's used in a more complex app?
PS: I'm aware of the Srchr tutorial, but the proxy at work is blocking me from getting the code with getjs. Is there someplace to download it from the web? If not, I'll grab it at home this weekend.
There are some small examples in the end of each article in JMVC documentation (read core - Model, Controller, View). Also read this https://gist.github.com/989117
Ask on JMVC forum. My advice - start building your own app - it will the best tutorial.
Good luck.
I was wondering if anyone has built or know of a decent forum package for Umbraco 4.03??
I've had a little play with this but its a bit basic

and

I've found this article on how to integrate YAF forum but would rather have one which fits a bit better..
http://dawoe.blogspot.com/2009/02/intergrate-yet-another-forum-193rc2.html
Of course I know one answer, write or extend one of the above :) Any help would be gratefully received.
uForum is used to power the Our Umbraco community - so that's the current recommended forum package.
YAF is a fully-featured forum/bulletin-board web-application, which can be integrated with Umbraco (using an ASP.NET Membership Provider). Aside from that YAF is standalone.
Update: There is a new package called nForum.
I guess it depends on your requirements.
What features are lacking, clearly you know what you want so any guidance on what the forum should include will help.
Pretty much any asp.net based forum software would work with Umbraco. I guess the main thing would be the integration with the Membership provider in Umbraco. In this case Any forum software that could use a custom ASP.NET membership provider would integrate pretty much seamlessly.
There are plenty of opensource and commercial forum packages available for ASP.NET, just find one that matches your requirements and look at integrating it or running it alongside Umbraco.
I have setup a phpBB forum and people are using it. It has a decent level of activity.
I have setup a Drupal 6.15 website and I want to show the recent topics from that phpBB forum on this website.
Both are separate domain names, if it matters.
I've been searching since morning in Google for a module to do that but the results beat around the bush and so far I haven't found one.
I don't want any merging or porting of data from phpBB to drupal database. People will still use the phpBB thing for forums and visit my website for other things. I just want to showcase the recent posts in my phpBB forum, on my Drupal website.
Can someone help please?
Thanks.
Install phpbbforum module, setup it and turn off user synchronisation and just use recent posts block.
No module exists. You have to provide yourself ( I did successfully ) but if databases are from different providers I find it quite difficult
