I'm using the Activiti Kickstart component (with the Eclipse plugin) and I'm having difficulties with the Dropdown list (from the Controls in the Palette) in the way that after I successfully export my workflow in Alfresco, all option values are missing.
Also, in the model.xml file generated automatically, I don't seem to find the proper constraint tags, with my values.
I'm very new with alfresco and activity, so please bear with me.
Thanks
Have you followed the Alfresco Summit 2013 presentation? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9x9uYKONSE

I am new to alfresco (community) and I want to make some basic customization in alfresco's out of the box modules,Discussion module,specifically I want to add some new fields in it and that should be reflect in database of alfresco.
As first step I configured alfresco maven SDK?
And is it possible with Maven SDK or I have to go for any other programming model.
I want a new field in this form..
I think that you don't need SDK, try to use Alfresco Model Manager:
Content modeling with Model Manager - intro
This video shows you how to create models in Alfresco
Have you tried creating a rule that would add the classifiable aspect to topics when they are created? That would be the most straightforward way to go.
If that doesn't work you can always just create your own aspect with a custom property. The property can be defined in the content model to have a constraint if your list of categories is hard-coded.
Once you've defined your property in the content model, you'll need to add the aspect to topics. You can do that with a rule, or you can write a Java-based behavior to add it.
With that in place you should be able to edit your Share form configuration to expose the new property as a dropdown.
Could anybody please tell if it is possible using blossom to create new page in Pages and fill it with particular components(and configure components by putting there some variables) ? I would like to do it in the java code.
Best Regards
Jan
Whether with blossom or not, if you can define template with automatically created components so as soon as this template is assigned to a page and page is opened, all auto-created components and areas will be created.
HTH,

I need to hide some entries from create datalist menu, such as Meeting Agenda, Task List, etc.
Is there any way to do this?
Alfresco-4.2.d
First thing ,which you need to consider is your alfresco version, as in the latest version of alfresco there are many changes.We should always put alfresco version in question.
In alfresco version 4 or in nearer version you can consider below.
Major code changes will be in Alfresco.component.DataList object(Component) of YUI.
Files which needs to be changed.
1.datalist.get.html.ftl(tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\data-lists)
2.datalist.js(\tomcat\webapps\share\components\data-lists\datalist.js)
You may also need to edit below file

Just downloaded Composite C1 one week ago, and started to learning functionality of this IMHO really good piece of software.
I have done a setup of Open Cph site, and started to building a web site.
Successfully integrated Composite with Visual Studio 2013, I am referencing issues to specify a media folder for Bootstrap carousel via page design mode.
This is what I did for getting this feature done :
Make a custom page template -> Called DestinationPage, where I have a
#Function("Composite.Media.BootstrapCarousel" , new { ImagesFolder = this.ImagesFolder})
Unfortunately, this whole morning I am trying to figure out how to pass this.ImageFolder value
from LayoutPage to DestinationPage with PlaceHolders. Is there any possibility when editing
a page to have a placeholder where you can pickup or choose a media folder?
I want to specify for each page a different media folder where BootstrapCarousel will
pick up images.
Anybody have solution for this?
I have several ideas on my mind, but as I said I am not experienced with Composite....
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried looking at creating a Page Metadatatype which will show up on a new Metadata tab when editing a page.
These are two good articles about Page metadata

Is it possible to implement tool tip (instruction) for SDL Tridion component fields using GUI extension? If so, could you please provide the details on how it can be done. The tool tip should appear right next to the field whenever the cursor is placed on the field.
Based on the selected value in one field of SDL Tridion component, can the values in an other field be restricted to specific set of values? For example, country and city fields. When the country is selected, city field should only show the cities of the selected country.
A custom tool tip with instructions for a field
You may consider using custom URLs to accomplish the same functionality. You can provide a separate URL for every field, so you could easily have a "/Extensions/Instructions/Article_Body.html" for one field and ""/Extensions/Instructions/Article_NavTitle.html" for another. That way the user can click the field name to pop up your HTML files with instructions. Although the GUI is different from what you describe, it will require less custom coding.
If you're stuck on the GUI as described in the requirements, I suggest you start by writing your own GUI extension and show us how far you got.
A dependency between fields
As Jeremy said already this is not a default option in Tridion, but can be accomplished (like pretty much anything) in a GUI extension.
This type of requirement has been covered quite extensively already in these questions:
Dynamic drop downs in Tridion designing in schema in SDL Tridion 2011 SP1
how to pass embedded schemas as drop down for the content schema in SDL Tridion 2011 SP1
Check out Can we show a different tooltip when a Dashboard Button is disabled? for the answer to question 1. The default option for question 2 is that it is not possible to do this. A GUI extension could be the answer though.
Custom URL and Description
+1 to Frank on Custom URL. Organization-specific help pages definitely help authors. Though they may not use Custom URLs for this, see a great user guide example from Yale.
Don't forget the description field. This is the easiest way to give authors basic instruction for each field and it shows as a tool tip.
For the text within a field, you can also use default settings. If you're using the inline UI (formerly SiteEdit), consider Content (Component) Types to set default values and instructions.
Category & Keyword (as a tree) for Field Dependencies
Use Categories and Keywords displayed with the "tree" option by setting subcategories (such as country) to abstract keywords. Set selectable keywords (e.g. cities) to normal. Then select the tree option to make it easier to navigate between the options.
If the use case is actually countries and cities, consider offering a better interface than the tree selector or drop-downs.
The catch is only the normal keywords would be saved in the component. However, there are workarounds to getting the keyword path.
Update: Custom Urls are not deprecated, only the old script was deprecated in favor of a new approach in SDL Tridion 2011 SP1.
