How the default website in VWD 2010 works? - asp.net

Ok, this might sound as a silly question, but I am a newbie without experience, and I am curious how stuff works, I am not for the "just works".
The default website generated by VWD2010 is documented somewhere? I searched in MSDN but no luck.
If i understand how it works, it would be better, to understand how login is implemented, the master page, and so on.

Sounds like you're looking for tutorials. I suggest Microsoft's free tutorials.

When you create a new website, the IDE creates that website using a template. The template has code for the website. For example, creating a .css file and linking that. Look through the files that are generated and look at the code that is there.
I suggest you start here at the Get Started page for ASP.NET.

Acumatica Portal integration with Wordpress and SSO

I'm working on setting up a Acumatica Portal. The actual Acumatica Portal (portal.acumatica.com) is using a WordPress wrapper and SSO. This is pretty much exactly what my customer is after.
I'm not familiar with using SSO, so I'm wondering if anyone has experience with something like this. I'd love just a push in the correct direction on which pieces I need to make something like that work.
Thoughts?
I originally wrote the SAML-based SSO wrapper for portal.Acumatica.com many years ago. You’re in luck, I had recorded a video on YouTube that explains the different steps. Link: https://youtu.be/_b_qVnFGFTE. It’s been a while and things have probably changed in Wordpress since then. The original project can still be found here on GitHub: https://github.com/Acumatica/acumatica-saml-idp/

Can I use NetBeans with asp.net as an editor?

I want to design a site with asp.net (C#.net) and need an editor for my admin panel to add paper with picture etc., So I must use ckeditor, tinyMce or any other suggestions.
However one of my friends told me that I shouldn't use an editor in your site and use NetBeans (with asp.net plugins) instead.
Is it possible? If so, how?
From what I can gather, no; currently it's not supported.
I've done some research (Google) but haven't been able to find any plugins. If this was possible there would be a Netbeans plugin for it.
Have a look at this link
You might want to ask your friend why he suggested using Netbeans.
I'm still working on a plugin .NET Core for NetBeans: https://github.com/Chris2011/DotNetCore-for-NetBeans. Still a long road to go but I'm on it.
Cheers

How to convert a wordpress site into a typo3 site?

I already have a wordpress site i am trying to convert it into typo3. But i cannot find any help or tutorial regarding this pls someone help me?
I am afraid, there is no easy converter or so for this. Typo3 is one of the more powerful, but also way more complicated cms out there.
The whole way Typo3 works is completely different.
So I am afraid you process will be creating the new Typo3 site in the image of the old site - then have a decent cut'n'paste orgy.
You might have a look in the Typo3 Extension Repository if there is any extension that offers to import a Wordpess XML export.
Edit: See if these help you in any way
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/timtab_import_wp
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/gl_wordpress
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/ws_wordpressgrab
Unless you have some knowledge of TYPOscript, you might have to start your website from scratch or have a professional handle the conversion for you.
To avoid copy/pasting, you can try this tutorial, but it still won't work for design and extensions.

Etherpad and Wordpress, possible?

I recently stumbled upon Etherpad, it's a collaborative writing tool
http://code.google.com/p/etherpad/ - main project page
online Examples:
http://piratepad.net/
http://ietherpad.com/
http://typewith.me/
I want to add this engine somehow to my wordpress and let people collaborate their posts,
I'm wondering if it has been done before and/or does it take more than
shared hosting (that is what I have) to do it [server capabilities or what-not] ?
In general, I think this is a complicated way to go about it. Also, Etherpad allows some very basic font formatting but no images and such things you might want to include in a blog. Instead I suggest looking for some Wordpress plugin for collaborative writing, and you might find something less "real-timey" but perhaps good enough.
Or if you really want to try with Etherpad:
Etherpad needs lots of memory (RAM) to run. A typical configuration is 1 GB, but it might be possible to get by on 128MB dedicated to Etherpad. This means you'll need at least 256MB in total for a first attempt. Your shared host also needs to have a Java server installed (typically Jetty) and some proxying server (typically nginx). All in all, you have some work ahead of you in just getting Etherpad up and running. After that, integrating into the Wordpress blog editor. If/how this can be done, I don't know. I'd probably do a client-side javascript-hack to get the Wordpress textarea or richtext editarea to update from the Etherpad readonly view, which is the only place where you can get the contents of a pad as more-or-less raw source text.
A simpler solution would be to just add an Etherpad page through an iFrame. See this post for example - http://www.knowledgepolicy.com/2010/02/embed-etherpad-into-blogpost-or-on-any.html
In theory it's possible to replace Wordpress' editor with an Etherpad Lite iFrame. Etherpad now allows image/font editing and table support as plugins.
Java is no longer required for Etherpad, NodeJS however is.
Here is a plugin that is in development that does what you want - however development seemed to stop in early 2012.
http://participad.org/ seems to be the best solution in this space to date. I haven't tested it on my own site, but they have an at least partially-working demo online.
Yes! It is possible. WordPress now has a plugin. The plugin has three modules which enables an Editor in dashboard and let you edit via front-end.
You can find more details on their FAQ page.

How to implement PodPress in .NET (just like StackOverflow Blog)

I wonder if anyone has any idea on how to implement the nice and clean UI from PodPress (a Wordpress plugin) into .NET just like you find in the StackOverflow Blog when PodCasts are available.
And have that nice stats and iTunes integration as well :)
Added:
I realized now (stupid of me not checking first - using the meta key or even go to the admin page .../wp-admin) that SO Blog is on Wordpress, but still, my wishes are the same, How about a .NET version?
I guess I will contact the author directly and propose him/her a .NET version of the WP plug in.

I'm searching for the entire bottle of magic, iTunes integration, Stats, etc... Shouldn't Jeff give an anwer, he had to do something about this?
Jeff didn't convert PodPress into .NET.
blog.Stackoverflow.com is a Wordpress blog.
He simply loaded the PodPress plugin for Wordpress, clicked activate in his plugins tab and navigated to his newly created PodPress tab. There he configured his iTunes integration and his statistics information.
If you view the source of the blog you'll see:
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.7" />
Edit: Response to your comment.
Yes, I realized that after, but still... I WANT a .NET version :) (not to much to ask, is it?) eheh ;) – balexandre
The PodPress-WordPress plugin is tightly coupled to the WordPress Plugin Interface. PodPress is a mixture of flash, javascript and php and all of these are calling upon WordPress functions.
The PHP and Javascript are easily editable but the work required to hack PodPress to work without WordPress would probably be a little more difficult than simply re-writing PodPress from scratch.
Also, I've read on many forums about people getting slow responses from the sole developer of the project and how releases have been taking a long while to come out. So I don't think you'll be able to easily get him to rewrite his project into a different platform.
Your options are:
Use WordPress
Rewrite PodPress from scratch without any WordPress dependencies.
Find an alternative
The magic happens inside the flash player, so all you'd need to do to get the same effect is place that flash player inside an aspx page (or ascx control) and supply the appropriate variables like the file name and location of the audio.
Does that answer the question or am I missing something?
Well, for the player portion, you could use the Yahoo! Music Player: http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/
I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, as you want all the features of PodPress, but, I imagine this could be a small stepping-stone/starting point. It's really easy to use, and it's a decent interface.
I don't think there's a simple answer to this question. podPress is a quite a large plugin, and porting it to a new language and blog engine is tough; there's not just a single trick to it. I imagine that the included Flash and Java players and the supporting JavaScript is licensed so that you can use them in your project. (podPress is GPL)
Now, the StackOverflow blog uses WordPress and podPress, not something written in .NET, so my bet is that nobody has actually done this work.
