Indexing custom post type

I have the plugin installed in WordPress, but no matter what settings I set I cannot get custom post type to be indexed. Is that possible through the plugin or do I need to do something else
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Disqus comment count in TYPO3 tt_news

Is there a possibility to create in TYPO3 tt_news list/latest view link to article with #disqus_thread at the end of link i.e.:
Number of commments?
Anyone ever tried to view the comments count in tt_news extension?
Thanks for any help!
Regards,
Adrian
Check tt_news' manual for section Extending tt_news, most probably you can just use itemMarkerArrayFunc fpr creating custom tags, there are some samples in typo3conf/ext/tt_news/res/ folder.
Using it you can just handle some new marker like: ###LINK_TO_DISQUS###
Note, I don't know the Disqus' API, anyway most probably id doesn't require much effort.

You need to specify which version as the extensions available are different. Assuming you are using 1.5 then you can use Chronoforms. I'm not sure if the 1.6 version can do it, but the 1.5 has multistep form capability and also allows you to enter your own code for processing between forms.

Check their website for tutorials on how to make multistep forms.
I have used this one. Nice userguide included.

How to use custome template in Joomla

I want to use my own template in Joomla 1.5.
But I don't know how I can do it.
Thanks in advance.
You can learn from here

The simplest way i think is to the templates subdirectory in Joomla!, duplicate one of the existing template subdirectories and give it a name my_template and then modify that. In the Joomla! admin you can select the new template and it will be applied.
If it all goes horribly wrong you can simply delete the directory and you will not have done any damage to the rest of the site.
One the Joomla! site there are a number of tutorials on how to do it you can work along with
