Need help in integrating third-party systems in Magnolia CMS. Preferably, a commenting or a forum system since Magnolia doesn't support these modules anymore. Some third-party system that Magnolia suggested are: Disqus, IntenseDebate and Discourse.
source: https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS56/Commenting+module
What exactly do you need? If you need to integrate with a third party service, it should pretty easily doable via REST and almost all the services provide REST APIs these days.
That being said those modules are no longer supported but if you want to use them you still can (just add them to the bundle) that being said perhaps you need to migrate them to 5.6 then please have a look at: https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS56/Upgrading+to+Magnolia+5.6.x#UpgradingtoMagnolia5.6.x-Vaadin8andcustommodules
HTH,

I have requirements to establish a CMS system for enterprise and it has to be java based open source, I found out that liferay has CMS capabilities but I'm not able to find any detailed description of the features introduced on its CMS , also I found some people are talking about integrating Liferay with Alfresco ! does this mean that Liferay is not a complete CMS ? appreciate if anyone can guide me through this and provide me with any resources detailing liferay CMS features
Yes, Liferay has CMS features - coming from a portal background the CMS is only one of the many features delivered out of the box. A portal typically is an integration platform for any kind of application. If you ever only need CMS, it might be that "pure" CMS products offer a bit more of functionality, however, many people are very happy with the CMS functionality Liferay provides. And if you're not, it's typically easy to extend (this is the point of a portal).
Systems that start being a CMS and want to extend that with applications (who doesn't want that) typically have a different mindset - "everything is content" - and naturally your application feels a bit more like "content". The portlet standard, together with the additional APIs that you have available, is a nice way to start.
For CMSs the way to go is typically a proprietary API to extend it. In a portal, a CMS is one of the possible applications available.
Regarding Alfresco: Yes, you can combine it with Liferay. While Alfresco tends to come more from the Content-side, Liferay comes from the portal/integration side. I'd ask you to evaluate both first and see if you are missing vital features in any. Then evaluate which pain you'd like better: 1) Add the missing features you want in the system you decide for, or 2) integrate both systems and run them both. Of course, the optimum result is if only one of the two is sufficient for your requirements. Then project into the future and try to find out what you'll miss first.
There is no correct answer to this question, it all depends on your requirements, experience and ability to learn and administrate one or both of the systems.

I would like to take a look at Adobe CQ5 CMS system. Does anybody know if I can download it to my developer computer? I can not find link on web site.
I know Adobe offers CRX as opensource - but my interest is in CQ5 cms.
You can download it. Adobe has re-branded and re-released Communique since acquiring Day Software. CQ5 is now known as ADEP. Read about it in Adobe's ADEP Architecture Guide: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/solutions/customer-experience-solutions/enterprise-platform/pdfs/adep-2011-architecture-considerations-for-new-and-existing-customers-ue.pdf. Here is an excerpt:
The Day CQ and CRX product lines have been incorporated into ADEP. CRX forms the foundation of the Experience Services stack, and CQ has been branded as the new Web Experience Management solution.
Architecturally, these products are unchanged, enabling a smooth upgrade experience in the future.
New customers requiring the web content management capabilities of CQ should purchase and develop
their applications on one of the Web Experience Management solution editions (Basic, Standard, Premium).
The Web Experience Management solution incorporates all the capabilities of CQ 5.4.
Download a trial version of ADEP here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/enterprise-platform/trial-downloads.html
According to my rep you need to engage with Adobe to get a copy. We don't have it in house yet as the do want a training session so that users aren't frustrated with the complexity. I've played around on a test site and also played with it at conventions and it seems like one of the better designed CMS options at the moment.
I am working on CQ5, its a very advanced CMS tool as compared to the others. But its not a open source like other Drupal, Joomla, etc. You have to purchase the developer suite.
Refer to the links for online document support.
CQ5 generally requires a license. However, you CAN get started with the various components. CQ5 is a system built on top of Felix (OSGi console), Jackrabbit(JCR), and a few other pieces, e.g. ExtJS for a lot of front end stuff. If you learn these technologies you won't 'know' CQ5 but you will have a big step up in terms of learning it.
The best thing to do is learn SLING.
http://sling.apache.org/documentation/getting-started/discover-sling-in-15-minutes.html
If you really understand Sling and OSGI, the JCR stuff is pretty trivial. Mastery of these core technologies makes CQ/AEM pretty straightforward.
Adobe CQ5 is a tool being used for creating websites having content-oriented pages. This is a product of Adobe, so you cannot get it free.
Instead, to get a glimpse of it, please refer developer website of Day OR adobe CQ. Also, we have some useful URLs, which can be referred: http://vimeo.com/39504016 (an introduction video) ; http://docs.adobe.com/ ; http://adobecq5interviewquestions.wordpress.com/introduction-to-cq/
I have got a project from a model who wants to build a site similar to oprah.com
I went through oprah.com and tried to find the CMS it is using but failed miserably. Does anyone has any ideas?
Moreover, which Joomla! components can be used to mimic the Oprah's site?
This is a custom built site, which was built ofver several years. I do not know about the CMS, but it does use J2EE, Oracle DBMS and Autonomy’s IDOL search and personalization engine and Jive’s Clearspace collaboration software for discussion forums and blogs. I would predict therefore that the CMS is either bespoke or another paid for CMS solution. I agree with pharalia - it is definately not an php-based open-source product such as Wordpress or Joomla
You could easily replicate this look in Joomla, or Wordpress or Drupal for that matter. Since I know Joomla best and you asked, I would use K2 with a couple of different display modules for a site like this. RokStories and RokTabs come to mind but there are all kinds of K2 compatible modules out there now.
That said, I'm not sure I would want to replicate a site this old. It makes some really basic mistakes that Oprah might be able to get away with, but someone with less star power is going to have problems.
Does anyone know what tumblr is written in? I have been trying to figure it out.
It's PHP...
http://www.marco.org/55384019
spiteshow:
I wonder if the Tumblr guys are using a framework or if it is all home brew.
Both: it’s a homebrew framework to add MVC structure and a useful secondary function library to PHP 5 that we started in 2006 and have constantly evolved into a very finely tuned framework for our needs. The same framework runs some of Davidville’s former consulting-client sites as well as all of my personal sites and projects. It’s not available publicly anywhere, but we may release it in the future.
The lead developer's blog features a lot of PHP-related material, and Tumblr was advertising for PHP developers a while ago. This isn't strong evidence, but it's possibly indicative and it's the best I could find.
Here's the full stack as of 2013.
"We're a LAMP based stack (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) with Scala for our many services. Other pieces of tech we use currently in production are Memcached, Varnish and Redis."
http://smcdermott.tumblr.com/post/46847264498/what-language-is-tumblr-written-in-all-php
I just logged in to my account and added the index.php and it worked, so it must be php.

what's a good cms for web shops ? I've always used Drupal so far, but I haven't ever developed webshops. I saw there are Magento and a Drupal module Ubecart.
I actually would like to know a "known, easy to use webshop framework so I don't have to take care abuot security issues.. etc
thanks
I have been using both Magento (community edition) and Ubercart depending on client's target hosting preference. I must say that Magento has some impressive functionality and flexible as it has been around for a while. However there are some serious problems with this. Upgrading Magento to the latest version is a complete nightmare and have a good chance of needing to reinstall. Building your themes in Magento is so convoluted, it takes so many inheriting files to create a simple layout change. There is cummunity support, but most of them screaming for help as I remember. Magento model is "make money from support". So I found that they are not so quick to help on the forums.
With Ubercart it is refreshing to see the amount of active help. I think this is important if you are new this. If you are already familiar with Drupal, then I would say stick with Ubercart. It is much simpler to manage than Magento.
They are both good with application security, but you will need to setup your own SSL cert anyway. I've played with some other carts such as Zen and OS Cart, but found them inferior compared to Ubercart and Magento.
There are more than 500 of them. shopping-cart-reviews.com has a search by parameters feature, does a good job.
If I where you, I would compare open source packages like magento and ubercart against hosted ones like our own SolidShops.com.
Check out my blog post about magento (and open source ecommerce packages) versus hosted ones. I've outlined when to go best with open source / hosted depending on your situation.
We've built SolidShops.com specifically for web designers that need an easy and flexible platform for building small to medium sized stores. It's hosted so you won't have to install, update, secure, backup, ... a thing
Design is 100% flexible if you know html and css and it's a breeze to set up.
