Trouble seeing WeBlog package contents in Sitecore - content-management-system

I installed WeBlog package from sitecore marketplace (http://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/WeBlog.aspx) in my sitecore instance. Initially i had trouble installing package however i retried again deleting weblog.config file. It installed without any issue however when i look into content editor i don't see any WeBlog Modules under Template, System or Layout sections.
Does anyone know why?
Thanks.

Which version of Sitecore are you on? Is the module compatible? Weblog shows that it's compatible with the following versions: CMS 6.2, CMS 6.3, CMS 6.3.1, CMS 6.4, CMS 6.4.1, CMS 6.5.
Assuming you're on a compatible version, I'd check to make sure the layouts and sublayouts that were in the weblog package were actually installed on your instance. Open up the zip file and check out what files should have been installed.
Failing that, have a look at the log files to see if there are any glaring errors.
As a last ditch, you may want to try publishing. It shouldn't really matter in your content editor view, but I view the "publish" feature of Sitecore like the "reboot" feature of Windows.

Updated Typo3 news extension, now "News Administration" displays an error ...LinkButton" is not valid

I have recently updated the news extension for my Typo3 installation. Now, if I click on the button "News Administration" on the left panel and then on the folder with my news, I get an error:
Button "TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Template\Components\Buttons\LinkButton" is not valid
The provided link shows it's the TYPO3 exception 1441706370.
I am running an old Typo3 version (7.6.19.) which I wanted to update. But I thought it'd be wise to first update all extensions before updating Typo3 (and PHP and MySQL..).
PHP 7.4.33
MySQL 5.7.38
What is now the smartest way to go on? I want to ensure that my system will run later with the newest versions without any data loss on the way.
I checked the documentation and the changelog of the news extension. But I did not find a hint on what to do yet.
if you planned to upgrade to the latest version greater than 7.x then you better ignore this. just focus on upgrade wizards that you don't miss any upgrade wizard provided by some extensions to upgrade from one version of TYPO3 to another version.

Netbeans plugins site is down rendering netbeans useless

I'm using Netbeans 11.1 and need to a open a JS file in my project.
I need to install the Oracle JS Parser for Netbeans which I cannot do so because the site - plugins.netbeans.org is down. I'm getting this error -
Networking problem in
http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/files/nbms/1552395301_org-netbeans-libs-oracle-jsparser.nbm
Is there anyway I can install it manually otherwise I cannot resume work with netbeans rendering it useless.
The issue you are encountering was a bug in the released version of NetBeans 11.1. See Bug Report NETBEANS-2903 Warning - could not install some modules: Nashorn Integration - No module providing the capability com.oracle.js.parser.implementation could be found. 19 further modules could not be installed due to the above problems.
You have two options to fix this:
Upgrade to NetBeans 11.2 or later, where the problem does not exist.
Download and install the plugin yourself on NetBeans 11.1 by going to Tools > Plugins > then clicking the Settings tab, then the Add button. In the Update Center Customizer window enter any descriptive text in the Name field, in the URL field enter https://netbeans.apache.org/nb/plugins/11.1/catalog.xml.gz and then click OK. However, I just tried that, and got the error "Unable to connect ... because of Unexpected end of file from server". That connection may come good at any time, or it may be that you can no longer reliably access the plugin libraries for older versions of NetBeans.
So your only immediate solution is to upgrade to any newer version of NetBeans. That's desirable anyway, because you will get other bug fixes as well as this one. And if you move to NetBeans 12.x you will also get added functionality, and be able to use more recent versions of the JDK.
Also, as a separate but related matter, you were using an http URL rather than an https URL for your download. I'm not certain, but I doubt if that will work now; if you are not using a secure link you should expect failure, and in any case it looks like you were using a URL for NetBeans 8 rather than NetBeans 11.

Upgrading moodle 3.4 to 3.9

I am new to moodle and I need to do an upgrade. I have several questions first:
I have to upgrade from 3.4 to 3.5 and then to 3.9. Would I have to install all custom/aditional modules to 3.5 or can I do it just on 3.9.
This might be a dumb question, but I want to make sure I don't give anything for granted. In other to know which are custom/aditional modules I just have to go to the plugins view in administration and just copy the plugins that are on the section aditional plugins, right?
Thanks in advance
In general, you can get away with not installing all the custom plugins in 3.5. It is, in theory, possible that a 3rd-party plugin would choose to clean up their older upgrade steps, in the same way that core code does (which is why you can't jump direct from 3.4 to 3.9). I can't remember of any occasion where I've been caught out by a plugin doing that (and I've prepared hundreds of upgrades for different customers over the years). Note: you will see messages about plugins 'missing from disk' during the 3.5 upgrade step, but those should be fixed when you add the plugins back to the 3.9 code.
The list of additional plugins contains all of the plugins that are not part of the core Moodle code. It won't tell you about any custom changes that have been made to core Moodle files, but if you have simply been installing plugins and not messing around with core files (which is true in almost all cases), then you should be able to rely on the list.
Hopefully it goes without saying that you should always take a full database and moodledata backup before you start the upgrade, just in case there are problems (but, in my experience, they are fairly rare with normal upgrades).

Getting "The document was created using an evaluation version of activereports"

I am using ActiveReports6 for my windows forms application
When I install it on my machine providing serial key it works perfectly fine.
But when I don't install it, it shows this red line in the bottom of the report
The document was created using an evaluation version of activereports..
My understanding may not be correct, but what I tried is I installed licensed version of ActiveReports6 to my computer and then copied all the dlls generated for ActiveReports6 from GAC and added them to my project thinking now they will work on any machine as they are generated by licensed version of the software.
And then uninstalled Activereports6, but when I tried it still gave me the same evaluation version message.
So is it mandatory that active reports has to be installed in all the machines where I deploy my client? Or I did something wrong
The license for development. You would install activereports, create your reports and build your application on the licensed machine, the VS compiler will automatically check the licensed components and include the license within your application. You do not need to install ActiveReports itself on your client, only make sure that you are deploying the ActiveReports assemblies with your application. if you are having any issues please contact us at http://activereports.grapecity.com and we would gladly resolve the issue for you.
Found the mistake I was doing.
Actually I had put licenses.licx file in the subdirectory of the project while it should be in the same directory of the project and so I was not generating its exe.licenses file and so did not work.
Once I changed the location of licx file it worked!
Thanks!

Umbraco CMS: Manual Installation

I am using Windows Vista Ultimate and I want to install Umbraco CMS, with which I have no previous experience.
Common installation methods i.e. Installing either via Microsoft Webmatrix or Web Platform Installer didn't work for me. The former is for 7 and 8 versions of Windows and the latter downloads all installation files but fails to install. That is it shows "Installing ..." dialog for over 3 hours that makes me to forcefully end the installation. So all efforts have to be done from scratch (including download of the installation components using Web Platform Installer).
Is there a way to manually install Umbraco without the help of Platform Installer? I have downloaded seperately the files needed for Vista(e.g. Umbraco 7xxx.zip,Powershell 2, ASP.NET MVC, etc.). I don't see any executable in the package for Umbraco. There are just DLL's which I don't know where to copy to, as well as many aspx and ascx files that I don't know what to do with.
http://our.umbraco.org/contribute/releases shows the latest and all other available umbraco releases.
Under the 'Current' heading, you will find links to the most recent stable release detail page where you can grab UmbracoCms.X.X.X.zip which are all the files you need to go through the process manually.
One of the absolute best things about umbraco is that it's so easy to spin up a new isntall this way!
Important! Before you unzip - be sure to right-click the .zip file and open the properties page.
There will be an option to "Unblock" - be sure to click this or you may well experience issues with the dlls.
Unzip these files to where your webroot will be, set-up your IIS site and open in your browser - umbraco will automatically pick up that you need to do 'the install' and take you through a few simple steps that set-up the database and your admin credentials. There are no exe's or installer files - it's all embedded, more-or-less, in the site.
A good practice is the remove the [/install/] folder once you've gone through these steps.
Umbraco has some installation documentation here if you want to see all the various ways and steps available to install an umbraco site. -I prefer the .zip way described above, but you can also go the NuGet route too.
