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.

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.

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.

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):
https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/web-apps/sitecore.sxp_824?tab=Overview
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.
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
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 am new to ColdFusion and ColdBox (and programming). I tried to setup ColdBox but some of the links in the sample applications are broken.
My configuration is a GlassFish v3 installation with the current Railo OSS. I access my site through Apache 2.2.14.
So instead of http://127.0.0.1:8080/railo/ I access my environment trough http://railo/.
In Railo I have a webroot mapping / to C:/webapps/myproject/.
I have copied the current ColdBox 3M4 to C:/webapps/myproject/coldbox. I can access the dashboard through http://railo/coldbox/dashboard/index.cfm and have access to all options.
My problems start the moment I try to open the sample gallery:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented
it from fulfilling this request.
exception
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\webapps\viss-dev\coldbox\samples
(Zugriff verweigert)
note The full stack traces of the exception and its root causes are
available in the GlassFish v3 logs.
GlassFish v3
OK, no problem, just enter the link directly: http://railo/coldbox/samples/index.cfm.
The site looks plain, who cares - BUT all local links look like this: http://127.0.0.1:8080/coldbox/samples/applications/helloworld/index.cfm (railo is replaced with 127.0.0.1:8080).
Looks like trouble. To make my confusion perfect: when I try to access the login app: http://railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm and hit the submit button, I am redirected to this address: http://railo/railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm.
I believe that this is not really ColdBox-related, but it manifests itself when I try to use ColdBox, so here I am.
P.S.: amazon.de takes too long to ship the ColdBox book :(
Here's a suggestion, The good people at Vivotech have developed a couple of different installers for both Windows/IIS7 and various flavours of Linux for both Railo and Open BlueDragon. The setup installs Tomcat, Railo/Open Blue Dragon and the necessary connectors to the web server. Here's the link: http://www.viviotech.net/company/installers.cfm
I think you'll find using the installers to be a lot easier than working through it yourself. If you want to go that route, Adobe and various bloggers have instructions on how to do it. Matt Woodward has a very good blog posting on it: see MattWoodward.com, He also has a presentation on this, you can see it here.
hth,

Since you are new to ColdFusion (and programming in general), I would recommend developing against Adobe ColdFusion. The Developer Edition of ColdFusion is free and available from Adobe.com. You won't need to mess around or configure GlassFish since Adobe ColdFusion comes with a baked-in pre-configured Tomcat, providing both servlet engine and web server.
Just install the 'Stand-alone' version of ColdFusion Developer Edition, copy the ColdBox files into the webroot and in less than 15 minutes you be up and running.
You should also check out ColdFusion Builder which is currently available in beta from http://labs.adobe.com. It has full language support and integrated help content for learning the ins-outs of the language.
As far as the ColdBox book goes, it's available as an eBook if you really can't wait. ;-)
DISCLAIMER: I spend about 50% of my waking life devoted to making ColdFusion better as the CF Product Manager at Adobe. :-)
i have given up on glassfish and i am now struggling with tomcat :D
