I installed EXM 3.0 and used the instruction about upgrading from ECM 2.2 to EXM 3.0. (Sitecore ECM: Can't access Email Campaign Manager). After installation, I clicked "Email Campaign Manager" from Sitecore start menu and it goes to "Page not found" page in the url "mysite.com/speak/emailcampaign".
Did I miss something?
I installed this module in our testing server which has both CM and CD in the same location. So, I enabled "Sitecore.EmailCampaign.Xtune.CD.config".
If you've installed EXM properly, you won't be able to access it at the URL you've specified (mysite.com/speak/emailcampaign). Instead, it will appear as an app in the Launchpad: mysite.com/sitecore/client/Applications/Launchpad.
In any case, as Anton suggested in his answer to your previous question, it will be much better if you start over. Right now, your Sitecore is likely broken (to a degree) due to the incompatible versions of both SPEAK and ECM that you've installed. You'll be better off by setting up a clean instance of Sitecore 8 and then installing EXM.

I am in the process of researching a upgrade between a Sitecore 7.1 website to Sitecore 8.2. The site has the Social Connect Module installed.
I notice in Sitecore 8's Content Explorer, there is a pre-installed Social network structure. That looks very similar to the structure used in Sitecore 7.1's Social Connect Module.
My question is
Is this the same Sitecore 7 Social Connect Module just included in
Sitecore 8 installs?
If so, are there any notable changes I should consider between the
c# api?
I'm hoping that pre-existing user controls will just work. That would be awesome.
If you have any links to documents would be nice. Can't seems to find the right search term combo.
Thanks
Yes, that is the same module included into Sitecore Exprience Platform starting from 8.0 initial release (see the "Social Connected" section). Unfortunately there is no breaking changes report published, probably because the entire module became a new Platform component.
Im trying to setup Sitecore SXA (Sitecore Experience Accelerator) in 8.2 sitecore, i have done everything properly as mentioned in Installation document but i am not able to see any options, Toolbox, or partial views, renderings which need to come with Sitecore SXA installation.
Is SXA a licensed module ?, can't we use SXA features with default SXA module which we get from http://dev.sitecore.net Sitecore Experience Accelerator 1.1
Yes , Sitecore Experience Accelerator a licensed module and you need to get a new license to setup this module to work in your system . I am not sure if the new license will have addition cost or in the same cost of the old license .
Maybe it's a licensing issue, but did you try to create Tenants and Sites? IT's a common mistake to install everything and just go and preview the Home page. SxA have scripts to set everything up.
Try this:
Go the your content editor tree and right click in content and create a Tenant.
Right click in your new Tenant and create a Site.
Open the home of this new site in your Experience Editor. Everything should be there.

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.
Hi I am getting this error when I am trying to install Social Connected 2.1 in sitecore 7.2
Could not find configuration node:
contentSearch/configuration/defaultIndexConfiguration/analyzer
Could not find solution.
Can anyone help me out with this.
Thanks in advance!
Sitecore does have a workaround in place for the known issues:
Using Social Connected 2.1 with Sitecore CMS 7.2 Reference number:
408378
Social Connected 2.1 isn’t compatible with Sitecore CMS 7.2.
Workaround:
Install Social Connected module on Sitecore 7.2 rev. 140228.
Install Social Connected 2.1 rev. 140113 using the Installation Wizard. During
installation, you'll get the following error message: "Could not find
configuration node: content Search/configuration/defaultIndex
Configuration/analyzer". Close the message. Make required changes* to
configuration files. Open the Installation Wizard and install the
module package again. Use the Skip option for items and files
conflicts. Fix Social Connected module that is already installed on
Sitecore 7.2 rev. 140228 Make required changes* to configuration
files.
* Required changes to the Sitecore.Social.config file:
Change the analyzer tag from
<analyzer ref="contentSearch/configuration/defaultIndexConfiguration/analyzer" />
to the following...
<analyzer ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/defaultLuceneIndexConfiguration/analyzer" />
Add the "true" tag to the
"socialSearch/configuration" section.
* You can find the official Sitecore workaround / KB article here *
So you can use Social Connected 2.1 with this fix.
I don't have any good news for you. Social Connected module doesn't have any version which is compatible with Sitecore 7.2 version.
Here is the full table of the modules compatibility: http://sdn.sitecore.net/products/sitecore%20v5/sitecore%20cms%206/installation/modules%20compatibility.aspx.
The answer I've got from Sitecore Support is
There is currently no supported by CMS 7.2 Social Connected. Reasons are - many breaking changes.
EDIT:
According to the latest news, there are now versions of Social Connected supporting Sitecore up to 7.5:

Is there an easy way to detect the version of Sitecore ECM in a Sitecore installation?
The Sitecore solution installed is Sitecore 6.5 rev. 120427 installed.
You can have a look at the package install history in the Core database under /sitecore/system/Packages/Installation history/E-mail Campaign Manager. If you have installed multiple versions then there will be multiple child entries with each revision number.
If you need to get the current running version from code then just get reflect the FileVersionInfo
var assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom("Sitecore.EmailCampaign.dll");
var fvi = System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(assembly.Location);
string version = fvi.FileVersion;
Slightly 'hack-ish', but you could look to see what packages have already been installed via the Installation Wizard. When you select a package, it gives you the version number.
Click on the Sitecore button, choose Development Tools, then Installation Wizard. Choose Browse and then look for the email campaign manager module that was installed. After you select it, it should show the version number information in the file name.
Caveat: This probably doesn't help if you've installed multiple versions of the ECM over time.
If you have access to the file system, you can see the version of any module by looking at the properties of the corresponding DLL file (right click on file and choose Properties). This information is stored under the "Product name" and/or "Product version" property in the Details tab.
