I have one umbraco site with various templates and layouts setup. I will like to transfer the template types and layouts to a new site i am building which tools or scripts can i use to do this. The export document type and import doucment types does not copy all the fields across.
You could use USync or Courier. Usync is free and Courier is free for use on local domains only otherwise you would have to purchase a license. Both of these options involve a learning curve, especially USync.
Your only other option is manually - personally, this is the option I would choose. With templates, I would create the items with exactly the same names in the Umbraco back office first (this looks after the database aspect of template setup) and would set up some blank template files on the file system. Then I would copy across the old template files to overwrite the new blank ones... done!

I am working on multilingual site developed in asp.net MVC. Currently we are managing the translation task using resource (resx) file and everything is working fine.
Now as per client requirement, they want to integrate our resource file to a TMS "phrase" through a webhook. So in future, if they create any new key or modifying the existing resource file. Its automatically reflects in application resx file and it should automatically reflects on dev/test/prod environment.
As I tried to update the resource file on API call, its get modified and changes are reflected on application.
But when we modified the resx file under app_GlobalResources folder then it restarts the whole application. so this is one of drawback to use this approach. Also when we deploy our changes then it makes the dll of app_globalreources. Post deployment, unable to add new or make changes in existing translation.
Can any one suggest a best approach, which we should consider to fulfill above requirement.
Edit:-
Can we use json instead of resx file in existing application.
A common way to do translations is through database instead resource files. You save the same information in your database: language, key (the resource name) and value (the translated text).
With this focus, you must develop a way to do translations (the typical CRUD operations) and some layer to get any key in each language.
Talk with your client and check how important is this feature. I worked in a project like this some time ago and, at the end, we never do translations in this way. We add more functionality, made changes, translations and, when iteration finished, we move to production everything. Maybe not your case but it's a pity work on something that later hasn't use.
There are many tools for Swagger yaml file editing . But with all of them I found, we have to edit the yaml files and we only can see the output. I want to know any editor which those yaml are generated according to a UI application where we can visually design. (for example, dreamweaver, it allows the user to design visually, meanwhile it generates all the html for us).

Basically I need to send to my designer a non-finished rails website.
My Designer doesn't have ruby / Rails environnement installed and should be able to:
modify the CSS
add some html elements
I can manually check the diff after he worked.
Is there a way that I can make an easy extraction of my app or giving an access to the deployed one with capacity to re-root the css from his files?
Based on your question, your designer, in addition to the design, also writes code: he creates css files, and edit your views files. That makes him an integrator.
As such, he should learn the basics of source control management, such as git, svn or any system you prefer (my favorite is Bazaar, for its simplicity).
It is a best practice that will allow you to save some time and avoid a lot of headaches when merging your revisions. A nice side effect: he will be able to easily roll-back to a previous working version of the code, should anything bad have happened.
I develop rails applications with my designer who has minimum knowledge about rails.
She works on Windows through file-sharing from a Linux server.
She always has hard time finding view files to work on.
I usually use 'grep' to find a view file.
But she can't.
If you have a good suggestion, please share with me.
I have an idea which may be overkill.
Is there a way to automatically add comments around view files (including layouts and partials?) in html file?
Like this:
<!--Starting app/views/some_dir/some_file.html.erb-->
HTML here...
<!--Ending app/views/some_dir/some_file.html.erb-->
This way, my designer can find the file very easily.
Of course, this should be automatic and development environment only.
Thanks.

I use the Rails Footnotes gem (https://github.com/josevalim/rails-footnotes) in some of my projects which allows me to click a link in the footer of my app that opens the current view (also shows partials) in TextMate. Not sure if it could be customised to work with a Windows text editor but you could look at the URL to work out the file name.
I.e to open a file in MacVim, it creates the following link:
mvim://open?url=file:///Users/steveholt/Sites/foo/app/views/projects/log.html.haml
and for TextMate:
txmt://open?url=file:///Users/steveholt/Sites/foo/app/views/projects/log.html.haml
I have written several applications in Delphi which use Word automation. The programs all use templates which are stored in a directory. In pre-2010 versions of Word, one would define the location of the templates in tools|options|file locations; the programs would pass the name of the template and Word would know where to find it.
My client has now moved to Office 2010, and as a result, Word cannot find the template when started by my programs. I haven't been able to find a similar dialog box in Word in which I can define the default directory for templates. How does one define such a directory?
Click File | Options | Advanced | File Locations and you get the same dialog as in older verions
Instead of forcing your user to configure Word to define the location of templates, you might prefer to invoke word using /t switch.
/ttemplatename starts Word with a new document based on a template other than the Normal template.
>"%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14\winword.exe" /t"c:\MYTEMPLATES\mytemplate.dotx"
Can't you just specify the full path when creating a new document? Why rely on a settings that possibly can even be changed by the user? Put your templates in your own folder and specify the full path.
Word's paths configuration are stored
You can get the USER template folder via
Word.Application.Options.DefaultFilePath(WdDefaultFilePath.wdUserTemplatesPath)
(there are others options for that property too).
As far as I can tell, the template loading rules haven't changed from 2007 to 2010.
Generally speaking, if your add in needs to load a template, you should specify the FULL path and file name to the template, but you can get the typical user path via the above.
On the other hand, if you install the template into WORD\STARTUP, word will automatically load it. that may not be what you need/want, though.
Finally, if your template doesn't/shouldn't change, it might be better to leave it in your PROGRAM FILES\appname folder and load it from there.
Generally speaking, +requiring+ users to change the FILE LOCATIONS in word (or changing it programmatically) is a bad idea, just because so many people wouldn't have a clue, and those that do definitely DO NOT want addins changing those settings automatically!
