Add link to text in neos beta 1.0.2 - neoscms

I am new to Typo3 neos.
I am using neos with version 1.0.2
When i try to add links to custom content types the link will not be proper
and it appears some thing like below.For external urls it works fine.
node://06fbba05-82f1-e0b4-0e5e-4549e7aa4d11
How can i add target blank for external urls and mailto link for emails?
Thank you in advance.

you need to apply a converter to your text that changes the internal presentation of the link to the real link. Examples are in:
Packages/Application/TYPO3.Neos.NodeTypes/Resources/Private/TypoScript/Root.ts2
Basically if your custom node type has a property "text", you do:
text.#process.convertUris = TYPO3.Neos:ConvertUris
in your TypoScript prototype.
I think mailto: should work by typing mailto:foo#bar.com into the link box. Setting different targets is currently not supported out of the box, but could be done with a custom processor.

How to add Typo3 Extensions to a page?

I googled for quite some time now and i cannot find a solution for such an easy beginner-problem.
I used the Typo3 Extension Builder to build a test-extension in Extbase. Now i want to use this and include it into one of my pages in the page tree structure to actually see if it works. When browsing the folder structure i can clearly see that the Domain model, the Controllers and all the views have properly been generated. But... How can i tell my page to include it and execute it?
I tried things like including the auto generated typescript into the templates of the pages but nothing works.
Thanks!
In Extension Builder make sure that you added "Frontend plugin" on the left pane. If you'll do it properly you will be able to add this plugin via CE "General Plugin" and then via field "Select plugin"
Sounds like you struggle on a more general level here.
In order to get the output of your Extension in the Frontend you have to assure the following steps:
Set up general Configuration, so that you can see the output of standard content elements in the frontend.
Install your extension and include its TypoScript.
Make sure you have a Plugin configured in your ext_localconf.php and registered in your ext_tables.php.
In the backend, create a new content element and choose "plugin" as its type.
Choose your registered plugin and save.
You should now see output of your extension in the frontend.

Creating a new page template in Typo3

I'm using Typo3 for the first time and have been asked to update a site built on it.
Making changes to existing templates so far has been OK since they were mainly CSS changes or replacing images. Now though I need to create a couple of new page templates.
What's the easiest way to go about this? The existing site has a home.html and layout.hmlt in the fileadmin directory. Do I need to create a new html file there, if so how do I use this as a new template for some of my pages?
I'm coming from a mainly WordPress background in terms of CMS (I've nearly given in a recoded the site as a WordPress site since I think it would be quicker at this stage) but I'd really prefer to figure this out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out trying to read through the documentation and getting nowhere. The site is using Typo3 version 4.4.6
Thanks!
How you add a new template to your page depends on how templating is handled. Sadly TYPO3 has a poor templating out of the box, so there is most likely an extension that does the job on your site.
Probably one of these:
automaketemplate
templa_voila
flux & fluidpages
Check if one of these extension is installed and add a new page template according to the extensions manual or specify your question afterwards.
Edit:
If plain TYPO3 was used, you'll find something like
page = PAGE
page.10 = TEMPLATE
page.10 {
file = fileadmin/myTemplate.html
}
in your Typoscript. You can add tmplate files like the ones that are already there. To use a different template on a page, you have to replace the page.10.file with the template you want to use. This can be done with a new template record (crated in backend via the template module). But this is a rather anoying procedure to change the template, because you have to create each time you want to change the page template for a page and its children. That is why mostly extensions are used for this.
The out of the box situation gets better with newer TYPO3 versions but in 4.4.6 there are no Backend Layouts that could be uses for a template switch ot something like that.
In Addition to change the mere file you have to adjust the subparts or marker that are filled with the content. You'll find that configured in your TypoScript as well

Orchard Workflow 1.7

I have downloaded the latest upcoming 1.7 version and I tried to understand how workflow works and how it can be extended.
First question is: is there some documentation about it?
I found something but not so detailed on how to extend workflow with my features.
For now this is what I cannot figure out myself inspecting the existing code:
How can I assign a custom icon to my custom action (like the envelope in send mail) both on canvas and in toolbox?
I have tried providing a css class with same name and a resource (in a different module), the action works but it shows default icon.
Thanks
No
Look at the stylesheets in the module. You'll see that the image is being defined inline, from the stylesheet, as a background image, for each activity. You may of course use an external image, or reproduce that pattern of including it inline.

Custom template support for Joomla

Joomla is pretty good CMS but, is there any way to create custom template which will be joomla supportable ?
If I understand your question you want to convert an existing template that isn't even a Joomla template. If that is the case I found it very hard to do, of course depending on where the template was coming from. I ended up taking a template for Joomla 1.5 and starting from that. (Although the ja_Purity is a messy one when it comes to the CSS, looking back I would should have started with another one....)
Yes, you can do it. Copy default template which comes with Joomla and customize it, and you can install it now.
Refer : http://docs.joomla.org/Joomla!_1.5_Template_Tutorials_Project
Follow the SiteGround tutorial.
1st result for Google: joomla change template.
If you mean a page-specific template, then this is answered here: http://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_assign_a_template_to_a_specific_page%3F
It describes the following steps:
In Joomla! there is a default
template, but you can assign other
templates to specific "pages" that are
defined by menu links.
To assign a template to a page, you
must first make sure that there is a
direct menu link to the page.
Go to Extensions>>Template Manager
Select the Template and click the edit icon (or click the template name)
In the left column, change "None" to "Select from List."
Select the links you want to apply the template to.
Save
Note that you cannot assign the
default template to individual pages.

Joomla chronoform insert into existing content

I dont know much about joomla but I have a problem.
I started reading for the chromoform and it is a very nice pugin.
I created a form which I can see in the form manager and also I can view in the url.
but I want ot integrate it to an existing content.
I have a content which contains text, photos etc..
The content is editable with tinymce plugin.
And I want to integrate this form also.
One way to integrate would be to copy the html code and paste in the conent but then if I change the form component the changes would not be also in the conent.
is there a way to include the created form in the content?
Or which is the best one?
Anybody any idea?
Thanx,
Granit
If you also have the chrono plugin installed & published, you can add a form into content (such as an article) using the following syntax:
{chronocontact}form_name{/chronocontact}
This allows you to place the form anywhere within the article - you can preface the form with content (such as a heading) ....
You probably want to use the Chronocontact module (mod_chronocontact), which is provided with ChronoForms. This allows you to insert any ChronoForms form into any module location. The Joomla 1.5 download for this module is here.
Then you just need to define a module location in your template, and create a mod_chronocontact module in that location, with your forms name set up. You'll find having a couple of module locations defined immediately before and after your main content in the template is normally handy, like so:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="beforecontent"/>
<jdoc:include type="component" />
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="aftercontent"/>
