Site collection administration section is not present - sharepoint-2007

I just got to support a new Sharepoint Site. I created a new Site Collection scoped feature and deployed it. The things is that when I went to site settings to activate it. Site collection administration section is not there. I went to see the Site collection list in for the web application and there's only one, with no site collection admin section there.
How can I access that part of the administration?

It turned out that the user I was using to connect to the site did not have permissions to view Site Collection settings section.
I used another user and voila.

Create umbraco subdomain for an umbraco site

I am using umbraco 7.1.3.
My requirement is to create another sub-domain in main site dynamically as per user request.For example I have implemented umbraco cms for my site "ww.xyz.com" & I am updating content through umbraco login. Now I want to create sub-domains for different clients as per their request... like : "www.xyz.com/client1", "www.xyz.com/client2" and so on...
Now all sub-domain site should have it's own umbraco framework, so client-site (sub-domain owner) can login and update their information respectively.
To achieve this requirement I implemented following steps...
First I register a umbraco website in IIS and configure it, and that worked properly.
Then I register another umbraco website in IIS and configured it, and that also worked properly.
Now to implement sub-domain logic...
I simply copied 2nd website's folder in to first website folder. Then convert that folder to application through IIS.
As per my expectation this should work, As I have already done the same in asp.net and it worked.
But with umbraco I am facing issue like "Invalid key value".
I think the issue is related to some umbraco configuration, but I am not able to figure it out.
Thanks & Regards
A bit of an open door, but since I don't see it mentioned in any of the comments and it's a bit hidden away in Umbraco 8. Have you tried setting the urls in the Cultures and Hostnames section?
Note: you get to this by going to "Content", in the content tree right click on your homepage and now you get several extra options which are normally hidden away with also the very useful Hostname and Cultures option which allows you to support multiple urls.

Can I add Links as favorites to TFS 2012 Team Site?

I have a TFS 2012 Team site specifically for TFS Management. I would like to place template links for creating work items on the site so that team leads may create work items for me to add users or otherwise modify permissions.
I created the templates by the "Copy template URL" (a great feature btw), and then sent this as an email to my stakeholders.
I think it is better to have this link easily available from my team site. Are there any suggestions?
Not sure what you mean by team site. There is the TFS Web Access page, and then there is the optional Team Project Portal (in SharePoint).
If you are using the Portal in SharePoint then you can add a links webpart to any page within the site.
If you are talking about the TFS Web Access page, then I don't think there is currently any supported method to customize the home page to add arbitrary links.

Is it possible to use Umbraco's admin login to secure an external MVC application

I have a Umbraco website and an MVC application and I would like to use Umbraco login/administration to secure my MVC application. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks
The latest versions of Umbraco works right along side managing members with membership, with the standard System.Web.Security. I use Umbraco 6 but it was added after 4.1 I think. A brief summary of setting it up.
Create some login forms in Umbraco using the Windows membership code in your controller, (there are many tutorials on the internet).
Add a member type in the Umbraco admin members section.
Set the defaultMemberTypeAlias to your member type in your web.config.
Set up public access by clicking right on your pages in the Umbraco admin content panel.
Login and you should see your member in the members section.
Add some code to your menu to show and hide member pages.
There is a very nice NuGet package with the code to get you started:
PM> Install-Package CWS.Umbraco.Standard.Membership

Sharepoint 2007 permissions needed to View webpart in page but not edit page?

I have the following scenario:
I have a list of custom items. Users with "Contribute" permission level can add and edit items on this list.
I created a blank webpart page, and added to the page a webpart to view the custom list.
The webpart page is stored on a "Pages" document library.
This works fine, except that I don't want contributors to mess with the webpart and modify the shared page. So in order to have "Modify shared webpart" link dissapear, I broke Inheritance on the Pages document library and set permissions of contributors to "Read only".
However, this does not work as expected and when users access the web part page, the whole webpart is not displayed.
I have troubleshooted the problem creating custom permission levels and the permission that is needed to the default "Read Only" level is the "edit items" permission on the Pages list.
However, this permission gives the user of editing the page and changing the webpart.
How can I achieve the correct permission set? I need to have the page as "read only" for most users, but still have them view the webpart (and add and edit items on the original custom list).
Thanks,
Manuel
Has the page with the web part been checked in, published, and approved?
It might not be a permissions issue, it could be that Read Only users are seeing the old, published version of the page (a version that does not contain the web part).

There is another SharePoint MasterPage parameter different of Site and System

After the branding of a SharePoint site is done, I mean Site and System masterpages, there are still a few pages that uses the default style. My question is if we can change the master page for that pages too.
Example: http:///_layouts/settings.aspx
always looks like a fresh SharePoint
The master page connected to Settings.aspx is /_layouts/Application.master. Many system pages use this master page but none of them use the custom or default master of the site.
Do know that modifying the file isn't supported by MS :)
yes, you can refer your customized master page for those pages.
