Need to implement an RSS feed to connect to Google from Sitefinity to publish all of the products listed on the site under the e-commerce section.
Couple of questions,
1.Looking at alternative publishing options, I can't select products as content. (Blogs, News, etc are available) is there a way to make products available?
2.Is this functionality available out of the box or will I need to write custom code to make it work?
No, this is not available out of the box.
What you need to do is create a custom widget and in it iterate through all products and output the correct format the google expects.

I am a complete newb to wordpress. I am trying to help a friend out. She asked me to help her move her wordpress instance to another hosting provider.
I have done that for the most part. My issue is the original provider implemented a not-so-obvious way of an isotope filter on some UI elements.
Specifically the object is a company. Each company has a logo, the name of the company, a short description and a contact name / email.
These companies service states / areas and the idea behind the page is to select the state and only the companies for that state are visible.
From the brief searching I have done - there seems to be an overwhelming amount of plugins to support this.
I have tried creating a simple post with a featured image and adding in the text in the excerpt.
My problem is the links. I don't want the links to go back to the post - rather I want the links to go to a custom URL.
Is there a plugin that will allow me to define a custom post type (to include categories) and then filter on it similar to Isotope type of filtering?
There are many free plugins but if you are using the Elementor page builder. I am not advertising my product but as I saw your requirement matches a plugin that I am selling in the market.
The frontend filtering feature is not yet available to the released version but will be released soon. It basically allows you to build a custom grid as you like.
Is it something similar?

You have to create a custom post, there should be a custom field(custom URL) as well.
Or, You may create a WordPress query. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/
also, coding will be required for filtering
Is there a WordPress plugin that not only has the ability to create Custom Forms, but with the ability to have a full Admin Dashboard to manage the form submissions, as in sort, filter, export, etc.
Basically, something like NinjaForms, but with a robust Admin Dashboard and submission management system. The NinjaForms unfortunately seems limited (no sorting by fields, etc.) and I don't see a plugin to add onto it:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninja-forms/
Perhaps, there is a plugin that can be customized to have what is need specifically?
I just need a couple of small custom forms and the admin dashboard only needs about a few fields to sort by per form and the export should export to Excel or CSV.
From my research, looks like Formidable Forms has the specific custom Reports, Graphs and Statistics features I've been looking for, as well as providing tools to build custom forms:
https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/add-field-totals-and-statistics/
I haven't seen reporting features like this in other plugins like NinjaForms, Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, etc... If there are reporting features in something else that match Formidable Forms, please let me know.
Thanks!
I'm building a WP site and at one specific page i want to have a custom field in wich the user can select from existing content to be linked there. (english is not my native lang :)
In my case:
I have a services page where the admin can add new services.
I have a doctors page where the admin can add new doctors.
I want to have the option to link one doctor to one specific service.
Can this be done?
As other said, Advanced Custom Field is the answer to your and most needs regarding the data hierarchy management in wordpress.
In addiction I suggest to you to read this good tutorial about the use of Types, another good plugin that does the same work of ACF.
Considere moreover that both plugins ask money if you want more functionalities.
Here is the plugin url : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/ that makes relationship between custom filed. It will you.
I'm currently creating an ecommerce site using Drupal and the Ubercart module, for each product I need to have the option to display an article (blog/story) that relates to that specific product. I also need the article pages to display related products. I initially intended to do this via taxonomy, i.e. using tags to link the products and articles and creating blocks with the necessary filters but I thought that this would become messy as the product catalog grows. I know that i could just create a custom field and write my own sql queries to grab the relevant content and display it but i was wondering if there's any built in functionality (or modules) that would enable me to link an an article to a product during the product creation process. Like a drop down menu on the add product screen where i could select and relevant article.
I've looked over many module specs and forum posts but can't seem to find a solution to this kind of problem.
Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Use the References module for referencing to other nodes or users.
Install this module, then add module type of this = Reference.
Notes:
It also support Views for selecting, so you got powerful of selecting needed nodes.
For showing you can use Views, where set argument or filter to referenced field.
I'm trying to simply display an RSS feed as part of my site. A user will put in an RSS URL into a CCK field and I want to take that URL and display the latest RSS results.
I assume there's a module for this but I can't seem to find it.
http://drupal.org/project/feeds will do this and a lot more.
Here's a good video to get started
http://developmentseed.org/blog/2009/dec/15/importing-and-aggregating-stuff-feeds
Regarding your request about integrating with CCK, I don't know how you can do that but that may not be necessary because the feed URL is entered through a dialog of its own. And you can always add other CCK fields to the Feeds Content type.
I ended up using the simplepie module and used the function simplepie_get() included within.
The main feed aggregators are the the core aggregator module, feedAPI module, and the newer feeds module. I'm not sure any of them are set up to integrate with CCK in quite the way you're describing. I suspect that will require some custom development.
If you don't need the feed data in the Drupal database, you could use a javascript library to bring in the feeds on the client side.
