Does any body have idea about whether Custom Ribbon button is supported or not in CRM new release Orion.
Orion official name is Dynamics CRM 2013. Currently the product (for who has access) is under NDA.
But from the public information available the "new" ribbon is customizable, in fact Scott Durow released a new version of his tool Ribbon Workbench for CRM 2013.
You can download from here:

We need Magnolia 5.5 integration with Microsoft Dynamics(CRM) but as per the following magnolia documentation the integration is not available out of the box with Magnolia. Magnolia Documentation
How can we build that functionality in Magnolia, please advice.
Thanks in advance..
All depends on what kind of API Dynamics exposes for such integration. And what features of Dynamics exactly do you want to integrate.
If there is any REST based API, you can have a look at similar integrations (those for SugarCRM, Eloqua or SalesForce come to my mind) and do what needs to be done. Source code for the above integrations provided by Magnolia is AFAIK available to all Enterprise customers.
Typically you have two parts of the integrations
- backend one where you create content connector for an app and the app directly to allow your editors to interact and select items from Dynamics, and
- some templating functions that allow templates to understand items previously selected by the editors and retrieve those from Dynamics when rendering the template.
- typically you will also have to deal somehow with authentication between Magnolia and Dynamics and (unless all is super fast) with caching items retrieved from Dynamics in Magnolia in some form of volatile cache.
But really, any more details on what to do and how depends on the use case. It would be different for building customer self service portal and for e.g. just listing phone number of the sales/support rep closest to visitor of the site based on geolocation.
I want to know how Dynamics CRM 2013 localize Strings; after investigation, i found that it localize entity labels such as DisplayName in LocalizedLables table but what about labels in menus , buttons and controls; there is a table called DisplayStringBase but it doesn't contain any localizations; Is Dynamics CRM use resource files or not? I want to know the detailed process of localization in Dynamics CRM 2013.
Dynamics CRM has a supported way to localize the strings, you need to export them as an excel file and import back. Here a tutorial:
http://www.zero2ten.com/blog/crm-2011-online-localization-custom-translations/
The tutorial is for CRM 2011 but the process is the same for CRM 2013.
You can also export the translation of an entire solution, not only a single entity.
Not directly an implementation question but hopefully someone can offer a few pointers.
I wanted to ask if by integrating SDL SmartTarget into Tridion you are effectively getting SDL Fredhopper as well?
Do you still get Fredhopper Business Manager etc?
Could you feed more traditional product data straight into Fredhopper, outside of Tridion then build a site with personalisation/targeting via SmartTarget mixed with a product catalogue driven by Fredhopper and all the cross-sell/up-sell/recommendations it can do?
Cheers
Yes, SDL SmartTarget includes SDL Fredhopper, and you can indeed add data to it via the Data Manager.
The main differences between both offerings is obviously the connector and Ambient Data Framework support for ST queries, a set of Java Taglibs/.NET controls you can use to communicate with Fredhopper and a few other things like session preview support for FH queries (ability to change the variables on-the-fly for testing).

Am new to SharePoint but have better experience in asp.net web application development. I am using Visual Studio to development SharePoint application.
I have created two visual webparts - 1. StudentPersonalDetails: to add personal details of students and 2. StudentCourseDetails: to add course details of the student.When save is clicked in StudentPersonalDetails it adds the data to a list - ListPersonalDetails. When save is clicked in StudentCourseDetails, it should add data to the list - ListCourseDetails. ListCouseDetails contains StudentID which is to be passed from StudentPersonalDetails to StudentCourseDetails.
How can i do this? Am using Visual Studio 2010 for application development. Is a practice in SharePoint 2010 to use session variables, viewstate variables or querystring?
It looks like you are wanting to do web part communication. This functionality is available in SharePoint and you can see an example of doing this here.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff597538.aspx
Also you can see this option on web parts by clicking on the edit menu and there is an option for connect to on the web part options.
Here are some links; may be helpful to you. It is better to move this question to sharepoint.stackexchange.com

Right now we are using Tridion 5.3. For number of publications we have event system implemented like sending some mail notification if component is localized, or sending a mail notification when particular activity is completed in workflow process etc.
Our current event system is implementation in Visual Basic 6.0, now when we have to rewrite our code we have to use .NET for the same.
My question is where I can get some sample code for beginners or documentation how event system can be implemented in Tridion 2011 SP1.
These are the top three links when I google for Tridion 2011 event systems:
http://www.sdltridionworld.com/articles/sdltridion2011/sdltridion2011eventsystem.aspx
http://www.julianwraith.com/2011/02/event-systems-in-sdl-tridion-2011/
http://www.curlette.com/?p=90
Each of them is a decent introduction to writing event handlers for Tridion 2011, which in itself is a lot clear/less involved than writing an event system for previous Tridion versions.
If you are having a concrete problem with your Tridion 2011 event handler, I suggest posting the code and describing the problem.
In addition to Frank's excellent suggestions, there is also a sample event handler and full documentation available in the online docs (Username/Password required).
