First time I am using WeBlog in Sitecore. I have created entry, In this entry after post comment it shows message of "Thank you for your comment. If it does not require moderation, it will appear shortly" but I have no idea how comment will display? and what changes I have to do in workflow.Can anybody suggest me?
By default weblog has a comment workflow, you can find the settings for this under: system/workflows/weblog comments
More info in workflow here:
https://github.com/WeTeam/WeBlog/wiki/Comment-Workflow
Comments are created in the master database as child items underneath the blog post item in Sitecore. By default the comments are auto approved when saved and should automatically publish through to the web database. You can easily change this by adjusting the workflow as described in the post on comment workflow.

I am using weblog in my website. I have created some blogs, comment section is also enabled in blogs. I have one search box-button in master page, which is working fine on all other pages. But when I am on any blog page and click on search button, the Blog comment part gets highlighted and says that :Fill mandatory fields. (It considers the search button click as form post of comment section). How can we handle this case?
Try setting CausesValidation="False" on your search button.
I have enabled comments moderation by following the instructions in the documentation. When posting comments, I am able to see them in the Workbox under Approval needed but they are still posted to the blog right away before being approved. Am I missing some configuration?
In the Workflow of the Blog Comments is the Approval state marked as Final, i.e. the Final checkbox is ticked? It is located on the Workflow State Item.
This indicates to Sitecore that the Item is in the final workflow state and can be published. Therefore appearing on the blog before they have been approved (providing it has been published).
It's also worth checking when the comments are being published, if they are automatically published when submitted by the user.
We are using version 2.2.1 of Sitecore WeBlog module and are experiencing the following intermittent, but frequent, issue when website visitors try to post a Comment on a Blog posting:
On correctly filling in the Name, Email, Comment and Captcha form fields, then clicking the Post button, the form remains completed and displays the message “Processing… please wait for a few seconds”.
After about 30 seconds the message “Processing… please wait for a few seconds” disappears and leaves the completed form displayed; no Comment is added to the Sitecore workflow.
Sometimes the Comment system works fine after about 10 to 15 seconds of displaying the “Processing… please wait for a few seconds” it then clears the form fields and displays a “Thank You” message and the Comment is successfully added into Sitecore workflow.
The web site and dedicated web server is not under heavy load and the rest of the website is very fast when we observe this issue.
We have not experienced this issue on our development version of the website.
1) Have you seen this issue before and can you suggest how we can resolve it?
2) For successful Comment posts, we’d be interested in understanding how we can speed up the post process so that the message “Processing… please wait for a few seconds” is displayed only very briefly, if at all, as some visitors are clicking the Post button multiple times whist this is displayed resulting in 2 or 3 identical Comments appearing in the Sitecore workflow. This successful Comment post process is near instantaneous on our development version of the website.
Thanks in advance.
Looks like there was a bug in version 2.2.1 of Sitecore WeBlog module. It worked perfectly when I upgrade it to the next version.
I am using Joomla 2.5. I want to remove/hide Publishing, Language and Metadata options from front-end(Create Article) so that users of the website can just enter the subject and content for their article and submit the article.
Another question - How can I Publish Joomla article programatically?
Thanks in Advance.
This can not be done as these fields are part of the Joomla! Article Manager form. These are the core functionality of Joomla. But if you really want it,They can probably be removed using a "Template override method" -

I have a Publishing Portal site and I need to add some announcements to some of the pages. I've read an article which says that i have to create an announcement list to be able add an announcement web part but i can't seem to find any resources on how i can add an announcement list.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA!
Your problem is that you have not activated the relevant feature on the site settings page. You need to go to the site collection site settings page. Then select Site Actions - manage site features
Then activate the feature called Team Collaboration lists. You will now be able to create an announcement list
From the home page of your site (or from any page really) you should see a "View All Site Content" link on the top of the navigation menu.
View All Site Content http://friendfeed.s3.amazonaws.com/86fed07f0809beefaeeaee0013ee2b952079bc09
Click on that link and it will show you a dashboard listing all of the SharePoint lists that have been provisioned for the current site. Click on the Create button to create a new SharePoint list.
Create new SharePoint List http://friendfeed.s3.amazonaws.com/6c0b244801826f8b3ee01811211b88668ba8f713
From there you will see the option to create an Announcments list (under the Communications header). Complete the wizard to complete the list.
Once the list is created you can select Edit Page from the Site Actions menu on any SharePoint page in the site and then select a "Add a Web Part" on the web part zone you want to put your Announcements web part into. You should now see a web part listed with the same name as your Announcements list that you just created.
Select that web part to add it to the page and display.
Hope that helps. If this isn't the answer to your problem leave a comment or update your question with clarification and I will try to help.
Giving you direct instructions on how to create the list would most likely leave you more lost than ever. If this is a publishing portal, there's a lot more to learn beyond just creating a list. Content must be approved, and is versioned. I'd strongy advise you not to start poking around in there as you run a large risk of messing up the portal. Don't get stressed by people demanding you perform such things without having received any training. Grab yourself a coffee, flip your boss the finger and watch some pertinant webcasts on http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/FX101211721033.aspx
Hope this helps,
