I want to build an application using the Orbeon platform services.
Is it possible to change the look and feel of Orbeon form builder? i.e.
change the logo, the color, localize the system messages etc... so it can be embedded in a custom app?
Thanks
Yes, definitely:
Custom CSS stylesheets will enable you to do most of the changes you have in mind.
You can set a property to change the logo showing out-of-the-box in Form Builder and Form Runner.
Should you need to localize Form Builder or Form Runner themselves to add a new language or complete the resources for a partially supported language, see Localizing Orbeon Forms.

I would like to add some custom filter on Web Forms for Marketers Form Report, is it possible?
For example: My contact page contains Name,Email,Phone Number,Request Type,Description.
In this page I would like to see the data filter by Request Type,Date.
Web Forms for Marketers Form Report is Sitecore SPEAK application. It means that you are able to customize and extend it using SPEAK framework. SPEAK is quite good extendable and you are able to customize any SPEAK application without any dirty tricks.
So, general answer is YES, it is possible.
However, I am not sure about efforts that you will need to do it. And will it enough for you to use only existing business components library, or you will need to create your own components.
You can create a versioned image in Sitecore by referencing its item url like so:
<img src="~/media/CEB3BE892F3E47E9BCEC3F357F974606.ashx">
Is there a similar way to reuse a portion of html? Say a header or footer or dropdown menu, for example.
I'm familiar with how to do this in Rails, but don't have the user privileges I'd need in Sitecore to be able to do this in anything other than html/css/js. I can't modify the templates or go into the C# code.
Depending on whether you're using Web Forms or MVC you'll want to know about either Asp.Net MVC Partial Views, or Asp.Net User Controls to create a sublayout/rendering.
However since you don't have access to the code, I don't think there's really anything you can do.
I have recently setup Redmine and really like it. However, a feature which I really want is to set up Project completion in a percentage type facility (such as 5% 10% etc.) which is editable simply by the developer, not automated.
I know that you can create custom fields but something that I really want is that the column can show up on the "Homepage" / "Projects Page" to give a more detailed overview rather than going into each individual project.
Is there a way to do this with any plugins?
I am running Redmine 2.2.0
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
You can't put custom fields on the project list page (or need to search for third-party solution), but you do can customize custom fields to look as gauge bar using Extended Fields plugin.
I'm trying to create a Sitecore template which would have a field that is Web Form for Marketers which could be set by user. I'd prefer it to be as a field, however I don't how to do that. Is there anyone who could help me? Thanks
This is not possible as the Web Forms for Marketers data is captured directly in the WebForms database, not the master database, so you can't apply a custom form into a field. The form is actually generated on the front-end via a custom control (I believe its called the Form Interpreter).
I want to create a form with two controls(radio button and file upload), with Web Forms for Marketers in Sitecore.
Something like this:
Yes
No
(File Upload here) (Browse button here)
If the user checks Yes radio button, the file upload will become mandatory. Otherwise it's not a mandatory field.
How do I make this possible? The Sitecore documentation only has very limited information. I was trying to create a user control and implement validate user control class, but I was stuck because have no idea with the functions I need to override.
Suggestions?
From my personal experience with custom actions on Webforms for Marketeers forms I would say this would typically be a use case in which you should develop your own form and not use Webforms for Marketeers functionality. With alot of coding / configuring you should probably in the end be able to set it up like the description you give, but I think you would be better of creating a form yourself in this scenario. I have been able to do alot with Webforms but there certainly are some constraints eventhough alot is possible.
