This could be a newbie question regarding Liferay - sorry for that:
Is there any chance to hook up the saving process in Liferay CMS?
E.g. we'd like to send content to a CDN and a separate NoSQL-database once it was stored in Liferay.
How can we achieve that? Any hint is highly appreciated.
I think a hook, either a ModelListener-hook for JournalArticle or a ServiceWrapper-hook on the methods that would save the web-content, should do the trick for you.
Or else if you don't want a real-time update you can always create a cron-job in liferay which would look in the specific database tables using Liferay API and do the work for you.

I create a site with AEM (Adobe Experience Manager). I have a page type as property-page. The property-page have a field type "Number of event in a page". I want to modify the number of event for all property page.
How to do that?
Thank you & kind regards,
There is no mass-update feature in AEM. Ask your developers for support. They either write you a little tool. Or they could generate a lot of curl-requests based on a query. Another option would be the AEM Groovy Console (https://github.com/OlsonDigital/aem-groovy-console). There you or your developers could write a script.
Finally you can do it one by one manually. Take a look into crx/de, which might be a little bit faster.
If you want to bulk update the page property you may use OTB Bulk Editor feature. Here is a video explaining how to use this.
There is a similar ACS tool for updating sling:resourceType property. You can extend and customize this tool if not happy with OTB feature.
Hopefully someone can help me, I'm new to EPiServer and have been given a data migration task. We are using the latest version 8.5. I need to migrate content from a clients home grown CMS (that luckily is in a tree like structure) to EPiServer. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information about this on the web - perhaps I just don't know the right thing to search for.
It looks like using the EPiServer.ServiceApi might be the route to go but again locating useful documentation is proving difficult.
I was thinking of setting up the client CMS in SQL Server and writing a simple console application to call the EPiServer.ServiceApi inserting the content. If anyone has any information on this or better still and example i would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Dan
If you are just importing content from another CMS I would write a scheduled job in EPiServer:
http://world.episerver.com/code/dannymurphy/Stoppable-Scheduled-Job-with-feedback/
That job then uses the standard IContentRepository to create content:
http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-CMS/8/Content/Persisting-IContent-instances/
That way you can run it whenever you want and have access to EPiServers complete API. Also you can see progress of the import through the job status.
In the job you can read the content as a file in any format you like or directly from the source CMS database or some xml or RSS feed perhaps.
I have moved content from PHP, Java and .NET CMS this way. In .NET you could even access the source CMS via WCF or SOAP if available.
The ServiceApi is relatively new and more focused on Commerce products and media assets rather than CMS page and block content so I wouldn't use that.
There is complete documentation below for the ServiceApi by the way, did you not find it?

Regarding language management you can read more in the below links:
http://cjsharp.com/blog/2013/04/11/working-with-localization-and-language-branches-in-episerver-7-mvc/
http://tedgustaf.com/blog/2010/5/create-a-new-page-language-branch-programmatically-in-episerver/
Basically you have two options for multiple languages. If the content is just straight translations you should create nine different language versions (branches) of the same page. You can also have multiple sites in an EPiServer installation but that requires 9 separate licenses (and the associated costs).
I've done a lot of EpiServer content migration projects. The easiest way if it's possible is to export your current sites tree in Json and then import that into EpiServer. I've had to do it on a recent project and mixed with Json.net it's pretty easy.
If you want to go that route you can find all the code to do it here: EpiServer Content Migration With Json.Net/
I have an existing java web application, servlet based. I plan to add a module to show news articles to visitors. So i choose liferay as our CMS. The solution in my mind is that using an iframe in my web site to show news articles managed by liferay CMS. If i do so, is it convenient for our news editor to manage news articles with liferay CMS? Shall he/she switched to liferay to do this? It seems that the preview function of liferay CMS could guarantee only the inline iframe's visual effect is nice, am i right here?
Besides, could you please advise me a better solution other than iframe based solution?
I am looking forward for your comments, any help here would be appreciated!
Maybe it's better that liferay includes the existing Web app.
I am searching for a way (or a case study) where Alfresco is used to perform a survey by providing a form. The Alfresco Share visitors/users fill-in the fields of this form and by submission the results are transfered to a data list, filling in the respective fields. (something similar to google forms).
Does anyone know of such a case? How can something like this be materialized? Can Alfresco forms be used this way, or do I have it totally wrong?
This really isn't a good use for Alfresco.
Alfresco is an Enterprise Content Management system that stores your content as documents, files, etc along with associated metadata and there is nothing I can see in the use case you have provided that has to do with storing documents and/or metadata.
No matter what way I look at this it is going to be difficult to create a configurable survey. Your best bet is to look to having another survey tool such as Encuestame that you can deploy to your same Tomcat container and database and then share links to your surveys in Alfresco and publish results/reports to documents in Alfresco.
You have custom dashlet for creating pools on Share Extras.
I didn't tried it yet, but I don't think you'll have problems with deploying/using it.
It not a good way of using alfresco Instead of that you will find below way usefull.
There is one web application called orbeon forms.Which is helpfull in creating web form. Orbeon provides community version by which you can test.below is the link of site for orbeon form.
http://www.orbeon.com/
Create webform in orbeon.There are 2 interface in orbeon one is form builder using which you can create web form another is form runner using which you can enter data.
Orbeon provides support for submitting data which you can change to alfresco.Here you need to put rest url of alfresco webscript
Create rest api in alfresco for saving orbeon forms.
Hope this helps!!!!!
The question was also asked in the French section of Alfresco forum in 2013. While there are "Alfresco Forms", these have a completely different meaning, nothing in common with Google Forms. As an Alfresco add-on, "Form Factor" is an answer if you have entreprise and 5.5KUSD/CPU to pay each year.
SOLUTION
Inline Relational Record Editing is the answer. Handy stuff.
For Documentation

QUESTION
I created a front-end plugin using extension builder in TYPO3 6.1.0. For this plugin, extension builder of course generates few default forms in the backend. However, my intention is to have the forms customized. My plugin has 3 tables related it and all these have to be integrated to be inputted from one common form, than having individual forms, which is not ideal.
Do I configure my TCA stuff for this ?.. If so, please suggest me some good tutorials on that.
Or will using FlexForm do the trick ?...also please suggest some good tutorials.
I also checked out Flux, but did not quite understand the architecture of it.
Thank You :)
EDIT:
I want forms to give the user to fill in records. Lets say I have an extension for creating Calendar Events. I need a form, in the TYPO3 backend, through which an administrator can add events and its details.
