Is it possible or planned to provide the drag&drop way of records coping between different TYPO3 installations ?
I mean something in Draggables way with HTML5.
No it's not possible, although idea is very nice. Most probably better place for this question is mailing list of the TYPO3 Core Team.

Hello to all TYPO3 enthusiasts,
I am asking myself since about 2 weeks now, how to make a feedback/guestbook page with TYPO3.
What I want:
I have a page, where visitors can leave a feedback.
When they send a feedback, it shall not be showed immediately. It shall be stored in a database, with a flag "allowed: yes/no". If the administrator allows the visitors feedback, it shall appear on the page.
The feedbacks, that haven't yet been allowed, shall be displayed in the backend, where they can be enabled.
My problem
I don't even know, if this is realizable? If it is, what is the next step to make this working? Do i have to create my own extension for that?
Would be very nice, if someone can answer me my question and maybe give me some advices.
Have a look at https://bitbucket.org/ArminVieweg/pw_comments/overview
The current master version should be capable of doing this for TYPO3 7.6
Here is a third one :-)
https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/mmc_guestbook
I tested that and it worked for me, I think it should also work on 7.6 so you can just ignore the requirements.
Since I needed some changes I rewrote most of the code and my version is working on 7.6. Write a comment if you want me version.
Download and install extension tt_guest from TYPO3 extensions repository

This would offer the funktionality you described
I recently found out that Scala is an absolutely interesting programming language.
Since I'm not a real desktop application developer but more a webdeveloper I wanted to try out the play framework and if it works well for my purposes.
So far, I really like it, it seems to be easy to use and the developers really think it through.
BUT
I wanted to create an application with different templates, like an "internal", "external" and "admin" area. I already figured out to try out the "modular application" thing which seems to work good but I can't see any possibility to create something like multiple "template" files..
After a few hours of googling, I thought I should just ask..
Has anybody of you done it yet? Any tips how to organise it the best way?
Thanks a lot!
You can have as many views as required and you can also organize them in packages (under the app.views package) in many levels. All you need is just to learn how to reference required view from the controller.
Take a look to this sample schema.
In other words the most importantis clear and comfortable for you order, which you will be able to work with after 3 years without additional notes.
I wish to create a document repository for my company. Reason is because my company have many documents and they did not have a version tracking in place. This means everyone is using different version all the time.
Plone is something new to me and i got to know from a good friend of mine. And too bad he is not around anymore to answer my question. I believed in him and i wish to materialize his idea, to use Plone as a document repository for my company.
I have install Plone and manage to view the default Plone page, add all company's username and change the logo to my company's logo. And now the biggest question is, how to setup the document repository? What i have in mind was to create a "page" for the user to add files, download files, search for files and read its description.
Any lead for me to go about?
Reusable,
Same problem here. We started to use Plone as our main DMS 4 weeks ago (inserting existing docs at present).
For working copies, we use iterate (insert plone.app.iterate under eggs in your buildout.cfg).
For versioning, Products.CMFEditions. I believe this worked out of the box.
For creating new workflow, look into plone.app.workflowmanager and read the docs.
In a previous question we asked, we were still looking at Dexterity which has alot going for it but eventually we decided on adapting an existing content type based on Archetypes.
As for inserting files, as long as the description is ok, they will be found through the in-built search functionality, but you might consider using Iterate mentioned above to make sure that nobody is using the same file twice.
As your new, as I am, the docs seem hard at first but are actually quite good.
And this book is still giving me the foundation we need to keep adding functionality.
Good luck
I think, you should get pretty far with vanilla Plone installation, without developing your own extensions or other customization add-on-products. Therefore, I'd recommend you to start with Plone 4 User Manual to find out everything you could do out-of-the box.
As #Speediro mentioned, versioning support comes built-in for the main content types (and you don't actually see CMFEditions mentioned anywhere), but it's not activated for file uploads. Although, as briefly mentioned in the manual: Content items can be configured to have versioning enabled/disabled through the Site Setup → Plone Configuration panel under "Types".
Working Copy Support (plone.app.iterate) should also be there already waiting for activation on Site Setup's add-ons-panel.
Yet, before the Plone Collective (=community) Developer Docs or Professional Plone 4 Development, I'd recommend Practical Plone 3. It has a bit outdated graphics (because it was made for Plone 3), but it's great next step after the user manual. E.g. how to define content rules to send e-mails notifications for content updates (still through the browser without coding). Or how to create custom forms using Products.PloneFormGen.
When you really need to write your own code, it'd be time for Professional Plone 4 and the Collective Docs.
If you can't have a developer to manage your stuff, I would recommand to stay on official Plone, no custom code and use only widly used addons.
I mean:
stay on the default theme (sunburst)
use the default plone content types
only customize the logo
activate plone.app.iterate in the addon controlpanel
do not play with workflow because they need to know what you are doing. by default a file has the visibility of it's folder. It mean if you can see the folder you will be able to see all files inside. You can just activate default worklfow for files under the ZMI.
Use collective.quickupload addon
Your database will going really fast to a huge size because Plone is doing indexing and indexing means lot's of spaces. So you will have to handle this as system adminstrator;
One of my clients asked me to integrate an open source CMS in her website.The challenge I have right now is that she wants the website to be bilingual. is there any cms that implements this feature? The content on each page should be displayed either in english or french and no automation translation(like google's or babel fish). only static content should be held in language configuration files.
Thanks for any help or idea.
N2CMS can do that. It supports multi-sites on one installation, multi-language, templating, MVC. And it is a very developer-friendly, developed in C#.
http://n2cms.com
http://n2cms.codeplex.com/
Drupal, besides being considered the best php-based open source CMS, has multilingual support
"Internationalization: Build Multilingual Sites"
http://drupal.org/node/133977
Umbraco does this, is FOSS and based on .NET.
http://umbraco.org/
go for joomla it support multi lingual , use joom fish component
According to one of its FAQ's, Plone, running the LinguaPlone add-on can do this, if I understand your question correctly.
MODXCMS.com does enable you to use lots of different languages on the same site!
They call it YAMS - Yet Another Multilingual Solution ---
about YAMS on the MODX Forums
I say go with MODx CMS coupled with YAMS. Choose the Evolution release, not the Revolution. I just installed the YAMS and it's working like a charm.
The learning curve maybe a bit steep but it's worth every hour I spent learning it.
Are you looking for a translation memory/CMS or a CMS that integrates with a TM?
How many languages are you looking to support?
Any of the complicated ones? (HAT, for example)
I have been look around for Free/Open Source ASP.NET CMS / Portal systems for a while now, and have seived it down to two different ones.
Umbraco - http://umbraco.org
mojoPortal - http://www.mojoportal.com
Both look excellent and have different appealing features, but I am looking for people who have used both and which one you went with and why??
I actually went for Umbraco in the end and would never look back, its incredibly easy to install and use
To install you can use the web platform installer to install it and the AMAZING amount of free projects you can EASILY install with a couple of clicks make it by far the best CMS out there

If you are unsure where to start have a read of this
http://www.blogfodder.co.uk/post/A-Complete-Newbies-Guide-To-Umbraco-CMS.aspx
I tried Umbraco and it is not for the timid. I feel I'm a fairly technical person, Sr. Web Developer... and after several hours I gave up.
MojoPortal just works.
It has its flaws, but the simple fact that it just works means it wins.
I used Kentico, DNN, Sitecore, Joomla, CMS Made Simple (Yes admittedly not mojoPortal). Umbraco is by far the most powerful if you are after a highly customised and highly specified solution. Linq2Umbraco just seals the deal.
However, if you are after idiot proof CMS with everything built in, and your biggest concern is to look for check boxes to enable forum/blogs/whatever other joke modules/bells and whistles/etc. Umbraco isn't for you. IMO Kentico/DNN are the ones.
Edit - And 3 years later, I've used SharePoint, epiServer, SiteFinity as well.
Umbraco still wins hands down.
mojoPortal seems easier to use to me and it works even with javascript disabled like using noscript browser plugin. Seems more care of accessibility has been taken using progressive enhancement javascript techniques whereas you can't manage your site at all with javascript disabled using Umbraco.
I haven't tried mojoPortal, but I love Umbraco.
Things I like:
Clean code
Uses XSLT, python, or .NET to extend
Awesome community support
Tutorial videos for easy learning
Admin area is extensible
Good plug-in projects
But really its because I can use it for both small and large projects easily.
