Stability of Confluence 4.0 - wiki

I would appreciate feedback on experience with Confluence 4.0 from people who have implemented this version. In particular have you found the 4.0 release stable in your environments?

I've found it exceptional on my Ubuntu 10.10 - stable, but I'm running a limited number of users.
Installer was improved. I miss full-page wiki markup, but clipboard support to copy and paste images directly on a page is excellent.
Personally speaking, it was worth the upgrade.

I'm developing plugins for confluence. If you have a confluence 3.x instance with lots of 3rd party plugins - upgrading to confluence 4 won't work because most 3rd party plugins are not (yet) confluence 4 compatible. Check compatibility for each of the plugins on https://plugins.atlassian.com

Alternative for Aldryn-forms (Django-CMS)

Divio announced an end of support for Aldryn-forms at the end of September 2020. (http://support.divio.com/en/articles/3849075-essential-knowledge-django-addons-list).
I'm looking for add-on alternatives for Aldryn-forms that can work with the latest versions of Django, Django-CMS and Phyton.
On the marketplace website I only could find one package but its' last update was in 2015.
Does anyone knows a good package or has some information to implement forms which can be edited by content editors in the frontend website.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Carla
Divio handled over the maintenance to me, since I have commercial projects running on aldryn-forms.
Also Django CMS Association is most likely going to continue at least the basic maintenance of aldryn-forms, simply because the only alternative that I know of (djangocms-forms) has been dead for ~4 years, and the end users definitely need the forms support in django CMS.
In the future I hope to release a backward incompatible rewrite of aldryn-forms, since the current version has rather frustrating UX. Yet when that happens the respective announcement is going to be published on the aldryn-forms github.

SAP Personal WEB IDE upgrade issue

Created in SAP Web IDE on the cloud an application from worklist template version 1.53. Upgraded my Personal Web IDE to the same version using the steps described in the link below:
​​http://www.saplearners.com/upgrade-sap-web-ide-personal-edition/
Imported the exported application to ​Personal Web IDE and ran it to find out that it was crashing due to components missing. The missing component was sap/f/semantic/SemanticPage.js, which, as I found, is available since version 1.52. Furthermore, when I try to create an application from template within Personal SAP Web IDE, the latest available version shown is 1.44. Explored the contents of Personal SAP Web IDE, plugins folder looks as follows (picked it only because a folder relative to 1.53 is located in there)
Plugins folder contents
What exactly do I miss here?
It seems to me you are mixing things up. The version number of the Web IDE Personal Edition and SAPUI5/OpenUI5 are not the same.
The latest version of the Web IDE PE is 1.53.1. It was released 9 months ago (July '17). The latest UI5 Version at that time was 1.44.11.
sap.f.semantic.SemanticPage is available since 1.46 (UI5, not Web IDE PE). Since this is newer than the UI5 version shipped with the Web IDE PE, this control is not available.
Quick workaround: Use this CDN link while developing: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/1.46.10/resources/sap-ui-core.js
It points to release 1.46.10 of SAPUI5.
A list of available versions can be found here.

Forum module for Sitecore 7.*

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.

WSO2 Carbon Feature Stack - UES and Data Services Server

I would like to create a carbon server composed of multiple features; namely the User Engagement Server (UES) and the Data Services Server (DSS). UES is only carbon 4.1.0 based and DSS is 4.2.0 or 3.0.1 based. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, what are my alternatives for utilizing the functionality of both features set?
I have looked over wso2.org and other resources for help; however, I'm failing to find best practices for deploying a custom carbon solution and upgrading to future version. In another post I found a compatibility matrix, but the answer indicates that there is neither forward or backward compatibility.
WSO2 products will have API level changes between two different platform releases (as in 4.1.0 vs 4.2.0 [Turing]). So installing features from different platform versions will not work in most cases.
However, UES does have features based on a carbon 4.2.0 kernel (UES 1.0.1) and you can install the required features from the latest p2 feature repository here. It includes UES 1.0.1 feature which is based on Carbon 4.2.0 kernel. You might want to wait till DSS 3.1.1 is officially released (due to be released in about a week) which has some important bug fixes and improved stability.
To get features of both products, it would be easier to install UES features on top of a DSS product or vice versa, rather than installing both feature sets on a bare bones carbon server, since you may have to additionally install some kernel patches, configuration files, which are not installed during a feature installation.
HTH,

WSO2 products and Carbon version compatibility

I want to include multiple WSO2 products in 1 Carbon Management console. I started with Carbon 4.1.0. However, when installing features, not all products are listed (e.g. BRS, Identity Server etc). I understand that these will added in the future (?).
You can add additional repositories in the console, pointing to other versions of Carbon.
Now my questions are:
Will this result in a stable environment (multiple carbon versions) and products that can work together?
Is this the way to go (having 1 management console for multiple products)?
Are 4.x carbon based products compatible with 3.x carbon based products?
Is there an overview of WSO2 product versions and what Carbon version contains the features?
1) It is not recommended to install multiple features without careful analysis of them. Actually products are carefully analysed and proven features that are grouped together to solve common problems. As an example if you combine AS + ESB features yes you can have it but
it may result in poor performance in ESB since your services are hosted in the same server too. (Likewise there are many negatives). Further some of the combinations are not properly tested in an production environment and will have some unidentified issues, But released products are tested properly and used in production too.
2) Not compatible. You cannot install 3.x features in 4.x.
3) You may refer this for product overviews
http://wso2.com/products/carbon/release-matrix/
About your initial question, under carbon 4.1.0 still only AS(5.1.0) is released. Rest will be released later on (sometimes may be with carbon 4.1.x or 4.2.x).
