After reading a bit on development in DotNetNuke, I would imagine you would just pass it via the specific table in the database, and write some sort of strategy class for pulling the data in the same why from the correct calendar module.
That said, is there a particular calendar module that is popular among DNN Users?

I know that both Engage: Events and InvenManager's Event Calendar are widely used for calendering in DNN.

Hello we need to develop a web application using Oracle ADF and jdeveloper 12c. This is a big project so we need to develop this application with the help of a team of size 10 members. Our doubt is how we can develop a web application using a team.
Suppose that we have 10 modules. Each module has developed by each member(Each member is using different system with same environment. Jdeveloper 12c). Finally developing all the 10 modules how we can combine all the 10 modules as a single application. How we can modify bindings , page flows and connection details.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
A comprehensive look at ADF team size and roles you can find on ADF Architecture TV channel.
In terms of architecture, I would suggest SUM of the Parts Pattern:
Simply put, every member can use their own workspace where they will create bounded task flows based on fragments. Then, each of those workspaces will be packaged as ADF Libraries and imported into a MASTER workspace, acting as a portal. One of the most common patterns for implementing Master portal is Dynamic Tabs UI Shell Template Functional UI Pattern
I suggest you watch this to understand ADF large project architecture better, and read this, this and this as well. This book may be of use.
The best approach will be using a version control tool like SVN. Initially, anyone member of the team need to migrate the blank project structure to SVN. later on others can checkout the code and implement their code and after that they can check in the code. The problem here is you have to assume that no 2 developers are working on same file at same time, or else code conflict may happen while committing the code.
Currently, I am also working on a project where some developers are from onshore and some from offshore. So, we use the SVN. Jdevloper itself comes with SVN Client. So no need of installing any SVN client like Tortoise SVN or Smart SVN.
If still you need more information you can reply back.
The documentation on DNN sites speak of two default modules namely Document Library and Digital Asset Management. The two modules seem to be quite similar in functionality i.e. they both provide a mechanism to handle documents. But I haven't found any documentation that explains the different scenarios in which they are to be used. Could anybody explain the different scenarios they are meant to be used in? And which of these modules provides more flexibility in terms of URL management and handling large number of documents of the order of 60,000 to 70,000?
Digital Asset Management is the "File Manager" module in current versions of DNN.
The Document Library module is intended for collections of documents managed outside of the file manager. It is more suited for presenting a display of documents, descriptions, download links, etc.
For managing large number of modules, you might want to look at the DMX Pro module from Bring2Mind.net.
Or, For managing large number of files, you might want to look at the DNNUserFiles module from Evotiva.com (Disclaimer: Yes, I'm the author)
Is there a way to have one product definition and have it publish to multiple sites? I am looking for this ability specifically in DNN or Umbraco, either with free or paid extensions. I did install both the platforms and played with the free extensions and looked for any extension offering such functionality but did not find one. Any links or pointers are highly appreciated!
I had looked up for this info in many places before reaching over to the expert pool here, hoping to get some hints;
In umbraco there is the built in /base extension (http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbraco-base) which enables you to access product data that is maintained in Umbraco from other websites. Base is REST-ish so the implementation is well documented - you can access the data as XML or JSON (Returning Json instead of XML with Umbraco Base).
Also as the implementation is REST-ish the other websites that consume the content maintained in the core site could be written in anything that can consume a REST feed eg html & javascript.
It's not 100% clear to me what setup you're after, but if you're looking to set up a traditional Authoring/Delivery configuration - one of the few paid offerings Umbraco has is called Courier. It's a very reasonably priced (~$135USD,/99EUR) deployment manager that handles syncing content between two sites, i.e., Authoring and a Delivery server.
It's a very smart tool that manages content, configuration, and dependencies. It's neat and also supports a great open-source project!
If you're looking to setup something more like a centralized product database that is used by many sites - amelvin is on good pointer with BASE. They have a nice api where you may also set up your own webservice (beyond their own webservice functaionality!).
If you need this centralized product data to notify the other sites to update their caches - i encourage you to look into the 'distributedCall' functionality.
There's a bit of documentation on distributed calls in this load-balancing tutorial that may help understand the concept a bit better.
...Hope this helps get pointed in the right direction.
I've been playing around with the New Relic Ruby SDK and created a proof-of-concept plugin which gets data out of Graphite, and sends it to New Relic.
Other plugins I've seen target a well-known set of data (e.g. Apache Requests or CPU load). However, in this case I cannot pre-configure the dashboards for publishing, because the data for each user will be completely different, depending on how they configure it and the data they store on their graphite.
Is there a way to publish a plugin without a pre-configured dashboard / charts?
Every New Relic published plugin necessarily includes a Dashboard. You could record metrics like "Component/Graphite/" and then expose the results generically in your associated dashboard with "Component/Graphite/*". Most likely those won't be very useful graphs.
If you treat this as a Graphite plugin SDK for users who want to easily collect Graphite metrics by configuration, it will make more sense. When doing this, you should make the GUID configurable as well and include clear instructions on changing the GUID for each use of the SDK. That way, users will get their own fresh Dashboards each time their use your SDK.
Yoav, I strongly suggest you do not distribute your plugin agent with a GUID in place (you currently have com.gingerlime.graphite.graphite).
If another user runs your agent with their New Relic license key, and doesn't change the GUID, they will be unable to customize their plugin dashboards, and any customizing you do will not be seen by them.
In other words, un-published plugins should not be distributed publicly - anyone that uses a un-published plugin will have a bad experience (unless they first customize the GUID).
When developing for the Zend Framework is it common for developers to have to build a custom backend admin area for each unique app? Or is there a popular 3rd party backend tool people are using to manipulate your app's database?
I'm thinking of learning ZF but what stands out is how do you keep an eye on what users are doing with your app?
You have two basic choices:
Create two modules: frontend and admin. All your controllers live within
Within each module have an admin controller within the module to adminstrate it
In either case, I use a Front Controller plugin to swap the layout to admin.phtml so I have a different look and feel for my administration system. This is of course, optional :)
I tend to create an 'AdminController' specific to the application if there are too many administrative functions, or an Admin Module if there are (or there is a real possibility for the number of administrative functions to increase).
Well, in general I consider it enough to manipulate my db with let's say phpmyadmin or directly in my IDE (Aptana).
For the tasks I want to allow certain administrators to perform online I write an admin controller. Such tasks are mostly so specific, complex, dynamic that some kind of generic generator system wouldn't probably help a lot.
Still, there is at least one so called 3rd party tool I know of which falls into the category you're mentioning in your question.
DataGrid for Zend Framework
ZendFramework is not a Toolkit to create specific Application with users and, lets say articles etc. So there can't be such a 3rd party tool. I would create a admin module, not a controller, because that means you have just 1 File for all admintasks.
