Social Engine Editing drop down options - drop-down-menu

I am using a 3rd party developed plugin.
Advanced Activity Feeds
On a search widget we have a drop down which has all of my profile types.
I wish for this widget to show certain profile types.
Thanks,

You need to write custom code. You can get the particular profile type by level_id.

displaying custom fields (profile) in a view

I have added some custom fields to the profiles in connections. Now I would like to create an overview (a view or list) and display the values.
How should I do this?
There is a comprehensive article on the Wiki
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/dx/Customizing_IBM_Connections_4.0_Profiles
"This article has provided an end-to-end scenario illustrating the new
customization techniques in the IBM Connections 4.0 Profiles
component. The reader was able to define new extension fields to
associate with their users, so as to meet a typical business scenario,
and provide a tailored presentation of the users in the social network
to encourage use of the data."
it's for version 4.0, and should broadly apply to 5.0.
To continue the answer... you'll want to use the ext attributes in the search for profiles
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=API+Reference#action=openDocument&res_title=Searching_Profiles_programmatically_ic50&content=apicontent
and call GET /profiles/atom/search.do?FIELD_EXTATTR_SCHOOL=Westford
where school is your new attribute name

How to use multiple "Quick Create" forms per entity

CRM 2013 allows a customiser to add multiple "Quick Create" forms against an entity. In the case of our ISV product, this is potentially useful since we always avoid customising "native" forms in favour of creating our own form.
However given that:
Quick Forms cannot be deactivated
Quick Forms cannot have security roles defined against them
There is no mechanism as a user to select or change which Quick Create form to use
There is no mechanism to set a preferred Quick Create form
What is the point of multiple Quick Create forms?
My goal was to create a custom Quick Create form against the Account entity to avoid changing the native Account Quick Create form but there is seemingly no way to allow my users to use this form.
Typical - Despite earlier research, I found the answer within minutes of posting the question on SO:
Although you can define multiple quick create forms, only one quick
create form can be used by everyone. The form everyone will use is set
using the form order. Quick create forms cannot be assigned to
security roles and they do not provide the capability for the user to
switch forms.

Let an editor change custom user settings in EPiServer

I am creating an EPiServer portal that users will log on to and view information specific to their company. A company can have many users. Every user will need specific settings to present correct data to them. These settings are maintained by an editor, not the user him/herself.
I could of course do a admin page that connects to a simple database, but I would like to use EPiServers built in interface for handling users if possible.
Is it possible to extend the "Edit User" interface to allow editing of custom properties?
Maybe also use ASP.net's system for custom properties in SqlMembershipProvider?
Sounds like you should use the SqlProfileProvider, take a look at this post:

How to change Activity Type list in quick campaign wizard?

Is there any way to change activity list in Quick Campaign wizard in CRM 2011? I want to add one more activity here.
Great question but unfortunately this is not possible with custom activities. You are constrained by the default options that you can see in your screenshot.
Possible workarounds:
Do what we used to in CRM 4.0 and repurpose one of the native activities (e.g. rename "Fax" entity) and use that
Add a hidden custom attribute to native activity and then use a plugin to "convert" each record with the attribute set into an instance of your own custom activity. This still won't surface your custom activity within your quick campaign but it will at least assist the "bulk creation" side of things.

Adding form in Ez Publish

How can i add a custom form in ez publish cms
See How to Create eZ Publish Forms : Full tutorial
Alternatively, you can setup and embed a Google docs form, and just create a TextBlock datatype field in your class (+ set up raw output in your view template) to allow your editors to create and insert their own Google docs forms.
There is also an inbuilt Feedback form content class which you can copy and modify. In fact, every content-class in the CMS is customisable and an editable object, via a form from the website front-end or from admin.
But I'm guessing that the Feebback Form content type is what you probably want. Go to Setup -> Classes -> Content -> feedback form
usually at yourdomain.com/admin_siteaccess/class/view/19
Although eZ Survey is not the ideal and best way to use contact forms, it works. My company uses it and it was designed for surveys and not forms. Oh well.
It depends on what you want from that form. You can create custom content class and set some attributes as information collectors.
Or you can hardcoded form in template.
But everything depends on what you want from that form.
