Is there any way I can add poll to forum topic (Advance forum) or/And Article/Basic page.
I m still evaluating poll modules .. feel free to suggest best poll module other than core one.
In Drupal 7 you can use Pollfield module, but It's not a final version:
https://drupal.org/project/pollfield

I'm looking to connect to the StackExchange API via drupal. I've searched the modules on D.O and have not found one that is suitable. Wondering if anyone has done this integration?
There seems to be an Obsolete module in drupal 6:
https://drupal.org/project/stackoverflow
Probably, you can pick it & modify as per your need.
Am just 6 months old to Tridion.
I know the basic stuff related to this tool.
I read somewhere saying we can enhance the functionalities of Content Delivery by extending it using some Java APIs.
Could someone guide me where can we get these Java API's from.
It would be great if you can quote some examples for this.
Apart from the official documentation (http://sdllivecontent.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/SDL_Tridion_2011_SPONE/concept_35CC2F9DCEA34995931E181C165FCC0F, login required) there is an excellent series of articles on the topic by Mihai Cadariu: http://www.sdltridionworld.com/articles/sdltridion2011/tutorials/extending-content-delivery-storage-sdltridion-2011-1.aspx.
I suggest you start from there and let us know if you have more specific questions!
I'm looking for a web platform to set up a forum where users can post and vote "ideas" (i.e., proposals about a topic).
More specifically, I need something like Wordpress Ideas.
Anybody knows any opensource software which could help me?
kind regards
IdeaTorrent is a GPL licensed written in PHP, SQL, and Drupal that will run a site that allows users to vote on idea. I haven't used it, but am looking into it.
Well, WordPress ideas is powered by bbPress + plugins + custom theme.
You probably could spend some time and accomplish a similar set up with some forum software of your choosing, a voting plugin, and some custom theming.
I'm building something similar to that in rails: https://github.com/Chocksy/opiniodev-rails-app
I just started right now but i intend to work on it each week. If you are interested any contributor is welcomed.
I'm going to make a blog session tutorial of how i build this thing also.
What is the difference between ubercart module and commerce module in drupal?
Which is better for building a "groupon like" site?
Ubercart is your best choice at the moment. If you are talking about Drupal 7, in a little while Drupal Commerce will become the best choice but it is still somewhat a moving target. Once it matures a little the power that using Entities/Fields with Rules brings to it is enormous and if you needed to develop Groupon functionality from scratch I think it would be quicker out the gate and more extensible/flexible down the road.
It depends on your situation, but if you’re goal is to simply and easily recreate a Groupon site, you can get 90% of the way there by installing the Open Deals Distribution profile:
http://drupal.org/project/opendeals
This is a Commerce install profile (distribution) and it seems to fit your use case quite well.
You’d then use the Mailhandler suite of modules and once you get to scale you could use an external email service provider like MailChimp or CheetahMail.
The Commerce platform is highly extensible, as is Ubercart, but since it uses the Entity paradigm you have more control over how to display your content with Views/ Panels. Check here for a list of the current contrib modules: http://www.drupalcommerce.org/contrib/all
Drupal Commerce will become the future Ubercart, I believe. It is still in alpha development though and on the project page it says there are no upgrade paths supporting version to version- your best bet is still Ubercart.
There's a healthy and helpful discussion on the drupal.stackexchange.com forum about ubercart/drupal commerce:
https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/5/which-e-commerce-module-for-drupal-7
is there a drupal module that enables a live chat in a drupal site?
I recommend drupalchat, it is the most maintained and complete version. It uses node.js as the server. It works on Drupal 6 and 7 and has many features.
Drupal.org has an excellent search, a simple search revealed these candidates.
I use ClickDesk on my Wordpress site as a plugin, It's just copy pasting the code; I guess it should work with Drupal as well.
http://drupal.org/project/bowob
Have a look at bowob chat it gives you an interface which would be useful for implementing chat in a social networking environment. If you exam the api you can see what other modules bowob will go with well.
You can use the Drupal Olark module
http://drupal.org/project/olark
I believe it can handle visitors when you are offline too.
You should try LetsSyncro Live Chat & Image interaction Module for Drupal. This module adds image interaction to the traditional Live chat functionality.
You can find the installation guide in the following link: http://letssyncro.com/AddOns/Drupal
http://drupal.org/project/zopim
Zopim will provide you with the admin panel to administer you online and offline chat, but on their site only. Helped me a lot. Hope this will help you too.
Check chatroom module. It doesn't depend on any third party services and it offers a lot flexibility. You can make both - a site support chat and a community open chat room with it.
Version for D7 requires node.js I think.
Most of others depend on third party services which require registration and membership.
Yes i'm actually using a facebook like chat that's easy to configure with YUI
I'm actually using drupalchat: a facebook like chat and easy to configure with yui
At our website we used Mibbit to embed chat events. It is based on the old IRC system so it has zero learning curve for that audience. It worked really well and the cost was minimal, might be zero for most regular users.

Their staff was also extremely helpful and just generally cool to work with. They are always on their own support chat channel and so you get instant answers. We eventually stopped doing corespondent interviews so the system is not used now, but I would use them again without hesitation.
