I’d like to find easy to setup Sitecore 9 demo website. Imagine this procedure:
Install Sitecore through Azure marketplace (or jsut have any default Sitecore deployment)
Install one Sitecore installation package on Content Management instance and publish
Have a fully functional demo website
Very similar to http://launchsitecore.net/ but for Sitecore 9+.
I do not want to:
Setup local development environment
Install any other tools and software
Rebuild solution, run gulp etc.
I know about Habitat, but it is not very trivial to setup.
Do you know if such one package install demo website exist?
I realize you mentioned you already know about Habitat, but for others who come looking for an answer to this I'll drop the link to the Habitat Home repositories:
https://github.com/Sitecore/Sitecore.HabitatHome.Content
https://github.com/Sitecore/Sitecore.HabitatHome.Commerce
These allow you to tell a full end-to-end Commerce and Content experience with everything ready for you.
Habitat Home Demo websites
The front-end of the Experience Platform demo can be viewed here: https://experienceplatform.habitathomedemo.com/
The front-end of the Experience Commerce demo can be viewed here:
https://experiencecommerce.habitathomedemo.com/
App Source
There is also a 'no installation required' demo available from App Source, but this is currently running on version 8.2 (it will be updated to 9.x in the future):

Zurb broke their documentation site for V4.3.2 of Foundation. Unfortunately, I have a site using that version that can't be upgraded. I need ongoing, reliable access to see the docs and examples/demos for that version. Is there a way to install those on my own system, like Telerik allows you to do that with their controls?
That way I wouldn't have to depend on Zurb keeping the docs working for old versions of Foundation.
https://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/v/4.3.2/
For a short term fix I used the web archive:
https://web.archive.org/web/20161120155204/http://foundation.zurb.com:80/sites/docs/v/4.3.2/
to access the site.
Once Zurb gets their site back up, I'll update this answer if I figure out how to duplicate their doc site locally.
I am new to Sitecore administration. I wanted to setup Sitecore 8.1 in an Azure vm. I have one Azure sql vm and one vm for Sitecore. So I would like to know the best recommended approach to set up Sitecore
using Sitecore web installer
from sitecore zip
using pre defined powershell script (not very much sure about steps)
SIM
Please guide me as I am new to Sitecore administration.
Deb,
I know isn't the version that you were looking for, however you can get the idea in deal with a Sitecore installation and all its prerequistes. Please have a look here: https://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore7/70/installation_guide_sc70-a4.pdf
Based on Sitecore installation guide, I haven't seen a recommendation from them saying "install using EXE" or "install using ZIP". Actually, they show you both! Personally, I would suggest you to go through using ZIP.
Cheers,
Vinicius
I have started Sitecore learning few months ago.That time first question come in my mind is that how can I develop module? but can not able to find documentation. Can anybody provide me documentation how can I develop custom module?
If you mean you would like to create a module for the Sitecore marketplace, as others have done, then the process is fairly simple.
Write your code (ASCX, ASPX, CS, JS, etc.)
Create your Sitecore items (Layouts, renderings/sublayouts, custom buttons, etc.)
Create your configuration files (if necessary) for the App_Config\Include folder.
Build your solution and test it in a Sitecore instance locally.
Package the published files and item together using the Sitecore packaging utility.
Contribute your module on the marketplace and upload the package for review.
What you are hoping to achieve here is that another person could grab your package, install it on their system, and be able to use it without needing to recompile your source code.
If you want to develop a module, come up with the idea and then build it.
You can then submit it to the Sitecore a Marketplace under the contribute section.
https://marketplace.sitecore.net/Contribute.aspx?sc_lang=en
Typically you'll submit a package to this section and documentation on how to setup and use the module.
Sitecore will then test the module and inform you whether it is suitable for the marketplace. Your module will then be published on the marketplace ready for others to download.
When developing your module you should consider compatibility with Sitecore versions, and you should also test it thoroughly.
Here's some more info on best practices when building modules:

Is there any out-of-the-box feature available to integrate Sitecore CMS with TeamCity? I checked the list of runners available, but I don't seem to find any.
My customer has a ASP.NET project and uses Sitecore CMS for the website. I am trying to build a pipe to automatically trigger a build at a certain time of the week and deploy to Sitecore. Any help is appreciated.
Deploying Sitecore is much like deploying any standard .NET web application, except for the content.
I've written a blog post on automating your deployments with TeamCity and Team Development for Sitecore (TDS). You can ignore the TDS-specific information if you are looking just to push the code. However, if you plan on deploying content items immediately, TDS is helpful for that.
There is also a post by Jason Bert that covers using OctoDeploy with TeamCity and TDS for continuous deployment.
You may want to just start by setting up a standard .NET MSBuild step and then deploying the build of the code out to your site. That will get you started and then you can begin to tweak from there and choose which other tools will fit your needs.
I'm building a website which requires forum integration to a Sitecore build - I've checked on the Sitecore website and they suggest YetAnotherForum and Telligent Community Integration Module. Both of these modules tho only support up till 6.4.1 and 6.4 respectively - I'm using Sitecore 7.0.
Logged a ticket with Sitecore and they came back with the following:
We have no information about Forum modules that are compatible with Sitecore 7.1. I would recommend you to contact your regional office and check whether they could advise you something.
Any suggestions?
First of all Telligent supports Sitecore 7.
Reference link
I have been working with Sitecore and Telligent Community integration from quite time and from my experience i have this opinion.
For deep integration it is quite a lot of work and requires much knowledge of both the product and costs will be high for licensing & deployment. But i can assure you that Telligent will work in Sitecore newer version also. However with higher costs you will get more rich functionality, Facebook like Activity Stream, and Apart from Forums it also has Blogs, Wikis, Media Gallery.
Telligent supports two kind of integrations:
1. Side by Side Integration - In this Sitecore and Telligent both will be user facing.
2. Integration mode - In this user will be mostly in Sitecore.
Reference link
If you are Sitecore Partner you will get trial license of Telligent. For details check 'Social Starter Kit' on Sitecore SDN site. Also there is video on YouTube regarding Sitecore & Telligent Integration in Sitecore Virtual User Group community.
I have no experience on YAF module so can't suggest on that.
Did you try to install YAF integration module, https://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/YAF_integration.aspx, i think it would run on Sitecore 7, since this module mainly integrate YAF with Sitecore security, i don't see why it should not run on Sitecore 7.
The Telligent product was renamed, I suggest you take a look at http://www.zimbra.com/products/zimbra-community/sitecore-starter.html and contact them. I'm unaware of what version they're targeted at right now.
