Magnolia CMS OpenSocial Container - content-management-system

I wanted to use Magnolia CMS module OpenSocial Container for gadgets written on GWT. I've tried to run it locally but without success, even default gadgets are not rendering as they described on demo(http://dlipp.blogspot.com/2011/03/magnolia-module-opensocial-container-is.html). I were not able to find any docs to resolve my issue, nor got answer from magnolia forum. If there any use case of Magnolia OpenSocial Container? Or any other CMS as gadget container?

You didn't include any details on what isn't working, but Daniel's post references the doc page on the wiki:
http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/WIKI/Magnolia+OpenSocial+Container
One thing that looks like it might trip folks up is the fact that ContextRoot is hardcoded to /magnolia-opensocial-sample-webapp. Are you deploying with that context?
Hope one of those things helps.

Nuxeo (http://www.nuxeo.com) is a content management platform that provides a gadget container.
Just in case.

Integrate liferay cms into existing java application

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.

Component not showing in frontend on Joomla! 1.7

I have successfully installed a plugin called "Plotalot", which draws flashcharts, on my Joomla! 1.7.
I have unfortunately installed the free version of it because I want to be sure it's useful, and the free version comes with the component-tool only and not with the plugin (It's cheap, but I hate purchasing stuff that's not worth using).
With the component-tool on the backend site I'm able to create new charts, edit existing charts and I'm also capable of seeing a demonstration of the chart that I just made on the backend site.
But, when I try to see the chart on the frontend site, I only see the tags which I wrote in an Article and no chart. In this case: {plotalot id="1"}
I've been in touch with this customer support guy on this matter, and all he can say is that it should be a chart when i write {plotalot id="1"} if there's a chart with the ID=1. Which it does
Does anyone have any experience on how plugins or component-tools in Joomla! 1.7 works and how they can be displayed in an Article?
I would very much appreciate if someone can help me :)
Kind regards, Steve-O
I'm also a Plotalot user. Your question does not make sense. If you installed the free version, you did not install a plugin, you installed a component. Plotalot does not draw flash charts, it draws Google charts. If you want a chart in an article, buy the plugin. And read the user guide, it explains all of this very clearly.
you have to use some tags in the article in which you want to display the charts.The tags will be explained in the documentation of the plug in
eg:we use {flashchart data="50,60,70,80,90,60|109,120,100,130,140,100"} sample01{/flashchart}
to display flash chart.

Is there a grails plugin to create an online documentation guide?

I am developing a grails app and was wondering if there is any grails plugin available to create online manuals in both HTML and PDF version, something like:
Spring's reference docs which is hosted in both html and pdf versions.
Yahoo! PlaceFinder webservice guide
If there is not one available, can you please advise me on the tools that can be used to accomplish this.
The documentation is to be used by general public.
The Grails documentation itself, and some Grails plugins uses GDoc for creating documentation in both html and pdf. Something worth taking a look at?
There is work in progress for new Groovy documentation using this infrastructure, see https://github.com/pledbrook/groovy-guide, you might take a look at build.gradle there to get started.

Automatic web tester for 404 links?

Is there any test framework or software that can automatically go through a site and find 404 errors from links?
You could use an extension for your favourite browser, i.e. LinkChecker for Firefox.
Are you looking for a tool that does complete validation/checking of the site? Or one that does use-case testing of specific parts of the site.
For the latter I recommend TestPlan, it has the ability to check the headers of pages and work with the so-called "meta" response of the page.
The original web-site is no longer available but the project is now hosted on Launchpad.
For the former it isn't the best tool, but as part of a test framework it is easy enough to get it to scan through links on the site looking for errors.
If you're running on Windows there is this one.

Codesmith resources

I use Codesmith to create our code generation templates and have had success in learning how to use the tool by looking at example templates and the built in documentation. However I was wondering if there are any other resources (books, articles, tutorials, etc.) for getting a better grasp of Codesmith?
Have you checked the codesmith community site
We also have a great new collection of video tutorials available. You may want to check those out as well.
There is also a Google Code Codesmith section where you can download the latest updates of some CSLA, nHibernate and Plinqo templates.
Here is an interesting tutorial for building a data access layer using CodeSmith.
Depending on the templates you are using, we might have a separate website with tons of useful information like nettiers.com and plinqo.com. Also check out the help section on our community site.
We have also recently created a new WIKI (http://docs.codesmithtools.com) for all of our documentation.
Thanks
