tag search library (ASP).NET - tags

I seen some awful forums with horrible searching. Its highly important to be able to find things in my db/app. I am considering writing my own but before i do what do you guys think are good tag search libraries? C# .NET or possibly ASP.NET
NOTE: I do not want text searching, only tags.

Use Lucene.NET I'm sure it can cover all that you want: http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/

How to use GWT's editor framework?

I'm trying to learn how to use Google's Web Toolkit (GWT) editor framework. I haven't been able to understand how I can use it through the documentation. The examples I've found online were not helpful for me to begin with. I would like to ask if someone can provide a simple working example.
The book GWT in Action, second edition has a chapter about the EditorFramework.
The sample code is free to download:
GWTInActionSamples
You should find working examples in chapter 9.
You can also look at the following sites for further reference, good examples to get your hands dirty with! Might not be a full blown examples, but definitely a good read to understand the concepts!

Advice on how to simplify things for user

I'm making a very simple cms for a client. I am working on adding/editing articles and i wanted advice on how to make it as simple as possible for him to add images to an article. I was thinking of using some sort of bbcode [img] [/img] Any suggestions ?
*I'm using codeigniter as a framework
what are you coding in? I have used FreeTextBox.com and it has a built in image manager that is quite simple to use.

How do I build a wiki into an iPhone app?

I want to build an iPhone app that is really a wrapper around a wiki. Specifically, I have some static reference content that can be represented by a hyperlinked set of pages and want to build an app that will provide a nice interface over this content, including search, bookmarking, and annotating. I'm wondering what the best approach is for building something like this.
(I'm spent a fair bit of time googling for answers but pretty much every combination of search terms I can think of returns links to wikis, not links about putting a wiki into an app).
Are there libraries out there for handling wiki content (rendering, navigating links etc.)? I imagine I could just represent my content as a set of local HTML pages and point the web browser control at these but that doesn't seem right. Any ideas on how best to approach this in the iOS world?
Thanks in advance!
Try looking at TWedit, it is a wrapper for the excellent TiddlyWiki which is a single file WIKI built around JavaScript and HTML. TW is very powerful and well supported with many plugins available.

Suggestions for a very easy to edit CMS?

I need advice/suggestions.
At my place of work - we have a large data set.
We would like to server the data up as editable html pages.
(Its mostly lists of simple text)
We would like to add data, change it's order, update text etc...from the editable pages.
It has to have a pretty low bar for usability and WYSIWYG is a must.
The folks who will edit are not programmers by a long shot.
We are not sure Wiki will work.
It might have to do - but not sure.
Changes have to be tracked and written back into the DB
I am thinking some kind of open source CMS might work?
Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal - something that can get us up and running pretty quickly.
I really am open to suggestions - not sure where to begin on this one.
Thanks all
If you don't have someone available right now with expertise with a specific CMS, it will not be quick to set up at all. One good reason is that you'd have to import all of your existing data into whatever form the CMS supports: this is a task for someone who has done it before. On the other hand, if you can pull that off, some of the built in WYSIWYG editors are quite easy to use, with some systems you get versioning and author information for free etc. I'm speaking mostly with the eZ Publish CMS in mind, although it's probably true for other systems.
I would make a simple CMS site that uses the Ajax control toolkit HTML Editor and perform updates to the database on postback.
Here is the link to the Editor example
http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/Samples/HTMLEditor/HTMLEditor.aspx
CMS Made Simple (http://www.cmsmadesimple.org) is very easy to set up and use. You do need to understand xhtml and javascript for the theme whacking, but once it's set up it has been trouble free. See my http://www.ConvinceProject.com as an example. It is MUCH easier to use than Drupal and appears to be more stable. I've had Drupal crash when installing security updates to modules, for example. It gives you full access to the header metatags, has fully integrated php and smarty tags, seems quite complete.
AFA importing, this is all mysql-based, although it can use others. If you have a web-whacking coder, pages can be 'scraped' and stuffed if it's more than cut and paste will do.
Lots of us can do it, it's not hard.
If I understand you correctly, it seems like you just need a web-based GUI for editing your DB. Honestly it would probably be faster to just roll your own in the language most familiar to you. There are many fine WYSIWYG editors out there that you can wrap around a text field, such as http://ckeditor.com/.
On the the other hand if you're hoping to solve this problem with DB skills and not do any web dev it may indeed be easier to find a simple CMS. ModX and SimpleCMS comes to mind. Joomla, Drupal and WP all come with so many out of the box features you'd have to strip out - look for something that starts fairly simple. Drupal in the right hands could do this, it has tools for importing/exporting to external DBs but the learning curve is pretty steep. Be aware that some CMSes do strange things with entry data...you may have to look for a text field inside a stored array (Drupal) instead of stored as a straight text field.

Tutorials and resources on jqgrid and flexigrid

Am currently trying to use for the first time both jqgrid and flexigrid to make database driven pages whos backend uses Zend Framework.
I have been googling and the search results that turn up aren't very helpful.
Any links that can be helpful?
Sorry I'm not fammiliar with the Zend framework, but as per a useful link for jqGrid documentation I find this wiki to be the best.
Edit: This is also a valid documentation resource here.
The Demo page on the official jqGrid site provides a lot of good examples and the code behind them.
Well worth checking out as it covers most things you can do with it.
