How to access alfresco explorer from alfresco share - alfresco

I need alfresco share to search files since only alfresco share has the preview of office files and not the explorer. But I need explorer in order to create forum space.How can I access share from explorer or vice versa, so the user can search files in share and ask questions in forum space of explorer?

Why don't you use the forum/discussion of Share instead of using the old User Interface?
Follow the docs to see if this works.
If you still want to use 2 user interfaces be my guest, but then the only fix is to setup SSO for the systems.

How can I ensure my project ownership is secure in Google Firebase?

I am a beginner to Firebase as I've had a project (web-app) built for me by a developer on Fiverr.
Said website is hosted on firebase and connected to a custom domain.
The ownership has been transferred to me and I now own the project and it's custom website domain.
If thereotically a developer I work with in future wanted to "take over" my site is there any other protections I can put in place?
I just dont know if what I've mentioned above is enough.
Near project overview, you have an icon ⚙ > Project settings > User and Permissions. There should be your email address with role as owner. If there is a programmer, you can just remove him. But remember, you might not find a second one willing to change something in this code. And if you do, it might cost more.
If you're afraid he might be hacked and someone will delete your project, speak with him and give him a viewer role and just change it when you need some changes on your app.

How can I make a download link usable for only one person

I am making a site with Wordpress and I want to know how I can make a file or more specifically a download link only usable by a single user. ie. if anyone other than that person tries to use the link they would get an error.
I use Advanced Access Manager for restricting users from different parts of the site and my theme is impreza and for login form user pro.
I'd really recommend for this you use the EDD plugin: https://easydigitaldownloads.com/
It's well supported and documented and does what you require.

How to change the language of the UI in Alfresco installed on Google Cloud Platform?

I've installed Alfresco Community Edition v201707-5 in the Google Cloud. The language of the user interface is Russian. I want to change it into English. The documentation says you can do it in the user profile. It doesn't work for me.
According to the page above, first you need to select "My profile" menu item.
Thereafter the profile page will open, which looks like shown below in my case.
There must be a page titled "Language" here. But I don't see it.
How can I change the language of the user interface?
Promoting a comment to an Answer...
Alfresco Share use's the Browser's requested language to pick which language to display. Specifically, the Accept-Language header. The highest preference language known to Share that your browser requests will determine the language in Share
So, if you tell your web browser to prefer English over Russian, then Share should switch over too!

Single username/password for MediaWiki+phpBB+WordPress

I am building a web consisting of MediaWiki and phpBB as its subcomponents. Also WordPress may be added in future. My current problem is to choose a single unified authentication method (not to force users to have a special MediaWiki account, a special phpBB account, etc.).
Which approach would you recommend me? The basic limitation is that it is a simple LAMP server (no LDAP database). Possibilities I know about:
Use a decentralized protocol such as OpenID, OAuth 2.0, etc. I would prefer this approach. However, OpenID is not supported by Google any more so OAuth 2.0 would be probably more appropriate.
Use DB of users from phpBB and install some plugin to other subcomponents (MediaWiki extension for phpBB auth.)
Use DB of users from MediaWiki and install some plugin to phpBB.
Use some specialized web application for user credentials management and install plugins both to MediaWiki and phpBB.
I think the main point you already understand: You need one of your new platforms to be the central user store. The problem you know have to find out:
What platform has the plugins to interact with each other? It's possible, that you find plugins, that only works "in one direction", and for mediawiki itself you will find a log of outdated extensions, that maybe won't work anymore with the latest mediawiki versions and updates.
The other point is, that you should think about WordPress now, too. After you selected one central user store you mostly can't change it with a lot of work, so I would check for an integration of WordPress now, too.
Looking at that and a short search i wouldn't prefer MediaWiki to be the central user storage, and i'm not sure, if phpBB is the best solution, too :/
I think one of the best would be to use LDAP, extensions and plugins seems to be supported and working for the latest versions of each software. You yould have a central user store, which could be easily integrated in other applications, too. What is the reason you can't use it, an LAMP stack could handle this, too?
The second solution i would consider to choose is to use Google's user store and access it vi OAuth 2.0. MediaWiki, phpBB and WordPress supports this with plugins and/or extensions.
At the end of the day a login is a login is a login. All the custom fields specific to individual applications can be properly bridged with plug-ins. Make the app that will require the most babysitting your main database and thus login system. In many cases it's the forum, but that really varies by site.
I would caution that many new forum admins eventually want to upgrade from phpBB to something that's more powerful and modern. I was one of those admins. Yes, phpBB is as good as an open-source forum gets, but it just doesn't compete with the commercial forum apps. So keep that in mind if you make phpBB your main database.

Syncing Outlook 2013 Calendar to Wordpress Plugin

I've done much research on this and at this point, it doesn't seem possible, but I'm hoping someone more knowledgable than myself can help me with a solution. I have a client that needs to sync Outlook calendar with a Wordpress plugin. They need the WP Calendar to display on it's own page and also be on the sidebars, like many existing WP Calendar/Event plugins.
This is what I know:
You can connect a URL based shared calendar to Outlook, but it won't let you edit those calendars in Outlook.
You can publish an Outlook calendar to a WebDav service. But since all the WebDav calendar services I have found, you have to enter in a login/password to access your file. (I tested using Cloudsafe).
I have not found a Wordpress calendar plugin that can access WebDav files.
A possible work around is to sync the Outlook calendar to a Google calendar and then use a Wordpress plugin that will sync with Google calendars. BUT that would mean that each person in the company would have to install an run the Google sync service on their computers, which I'm not sure they are willing to do.
Any suggestions on a way to get this request working? Thanks!
It is possible to edit "shared" calendars in Outlook. This works for Outlook+SharePoint integration.
See 2.5.6 Synchronize a SharePoint List with Outlook which contains a very brief overview and links to the MS-STSSYN and MS-LISTSWS technical documentation. Like with the WebDAV approach, failing integrated security, the password must be supplied (unless running a truly insecure editable calendar). The Calendar is just a special kind of List.
Then it's just a matter of accessing said resource in WP as well. So much fun!
There might be a 3rd party library that already emulates a basic SP List WS; there is always SharePoint [any maybe even Office 365?]..
