I'm considering using Contentful and Jekyll to create a website instead of Wordpress. Is there a way for users (content managers) to create new pages using Jekyll and Contentful?
Yes, content managers would use the cloud management interface at https://app.contentful.com/
A suggested approach would then be to set up a webhook workflow so that when a new entry is published in Contentful a new Jekyll build is triggered and your website is re-published.

Using Azure DevOps API, I would like to create an application with below functionality
When ever there are changes in azure devops wiki pages, it should notify us using an email
And also when ever there is new Wiki page created , it should notify us through an email.
Can somebody help on whether it is possible or not, If possible please help us with SDK and all.
I am looking for an exact API, which I need to work.
According to my test and try with the Wiki pages API and Wikis API, we seem have no such API can be used to sent email notifications when Wiki pages added or updated.
The workaround, as #jessehouwing mentioned, you can push the wiki pages as the source files of a Git repository in the project. Then you can set the email notifications for code changes in this Git repository.
You can set up a special repository for Wikis in the project.
We're trying to automate when UserStories are resolved in Azure Devops, the attached video on the UserStory gets posted as a New Yammer Post where the contents includes the Title of the UserStory and the video is saved as an attachment to the post. This helps our company keep up to date with new functionality added to the system, to try and keep everyone updated with developments each build.
Since this feature does not supported by service hook or other UI of Azure Devops.
You can try with one third-party website Zappier, and try with Post Yammer messages for updated Visual Studio Online work items.
After click Try it, you will be direct to the page that need you specified the org and Yammer account. Please follow the page step to configure it.
After configure it, please edit the message which you want to achieve:
And then, according to your demand to specified the configuration of Azure Devops and Yammer event condition:
I've been using github pages in order to showcase my progress on a simple website I am building but now I saw the option to assign a DNS name to the repository.
This made me think that I could actually avoid buying a service (hostgator, bluehost etc) and actually host my site in github pages.
What is your recommendation on this? Is github pages used for this kind of purposes?
Yes, Github Page is a great place for you to host a static website. All you need to do is to purchase a domain and configure the DNS. Basically, it is a free hosting service I think you can put it that way.
Here is a tutorial on how to set up your Github Page with a custom domain: https://help.github.com/articles/using-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages/
I've been thinking about an online idea for about 3-4 years now and can't get it out of my head so I've decided to act upon it and see if I can get it working. Currently working a POC and design layout which I plan to tender for development.
The main part of the portal and most important component involves user sub-sites. I am unsure how to tackle the process for a user to create a sub-site during the registration process and/or what path to take.
Let's say the main site is www.abc.net - the user would then register a sub-site based on the credentials they input. E.g. user1.abc.net, mysite.abc.net or joeblog.abc.net... whatever they want and so forth. No SEO required - The site templates are fairly basic and the sub-sites will be accessible through the main site. So the process to be:
User logs onto main site and registers
During registration, user enters details including sub-site name they want
Select the template they want - basically different colour schemes. Functionality to be the same for all templates
their site is created
when the user is logged on they get directed to their sub-site
Ability to edit their sub-site - add content and add extra pages, change details…. etc
General users (registered or anonymous) would be able to browse and search content to the sub-sites via the main site.
Each sub-site to be independent from each other - no content sharing. Basically they are separate websites hosted as sub-sites but need they need some type of editing available like a CMS. Not sure if a shared CMS is possible but the owner has to be able to modify content to their own sub-site.
So my question are…
Do I try and use a Drupal/Wordpress/Joomla CMS with multisite functionality?
Do I try a solution where I have a collection of simple sites that I use for sub-sites, each to have their own database and some type of CMS or WYSIWYG for editing? Is separate CMS even possible for each Sub-site?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
As far as I know this would not be possible as the CMS would not have access to your server where the sub-domain is created.
It would be possible to offer something similer using Joomla as it offers the option to apply custom styles (templates) to different pages. You would however have to adopt the following URL convention www.yourdomain.com/userselectedtext.
You can then have a page where users register with your site and the cms creates their page.
User permissions in joomla can be set so only the owner of a particular page can view or edit it.
You can check out this source: http://www.drupalgardens.com/. Google what platform is it based on. Maybe you'll find some information. Read also about this extension: http://www.joomplace.com/administration-extensions/multisitescontrol.html. It's for Joomla sites. I used this component for multisites content management. Maybe it will help you too.
It seams that we are not able to create a team within Organization but within sites.
Any suggestion ?
Yes. Liferay 6.1 has undergone a lot of changes. Check out this link
To just give you highlight.
Communities have been renamed to sites
Only Sites can have pages
You have to associate Site with an organization to have organization pages
Organization is just a way to group of users(Heirarchical grouping) by default. Only if it is required to have pages, one can associate site with that
Now based on above change, it only makes sense to have teams within organization.
