Add-ons for Interwoven TeamSite

Where can I find installable add-on modules for teamsite. I saw on CMS matrix.org that there are free add-ons available for discussion and FAQ modules that can be plugged into TeamSite.

Can anyone point me to the right resources?

Thanks in advance.

What sort of add-on are you talking about? What is your end goal?

I am looking for a feature that would facilitate discussion among the intranet users. A simple example can be found here

An authenticated user will be able to create a discussion thread here.

Or a forum like this that we are using to communicate is also good enough.

That is like likely available as a comoponent that for LiveSite. IF your company has purchased LiveSite/SitePublisher, then you can probably implement it. Be warned that this is not an OOTB forum package. There will be a non-trivial amount of development to accomplish this.

Nipper,

Thanks for the response. I am not a developer, so please excuse my ignorance and correct me where I am wrong.

Isn't perl script platform independent?

If so, can a skilled developer(not me) use the module made available on cpan.org and integrate it with Teamsite? The goal is to avoid re-inventing the wheel and get it working quickly.

The modules that I am interested are

1. Discussion
2. FAQ Management.

I did find few perl modules.

For FAQ Management

For Discussion

Any idea if these are compatible or can be integrated with TeamSite?

nipper

integrated with TeamSite ? Yes. Used out of the box on a website developed with TeamSite ? No.

TeamSite lives behind the firewall. The customers do not see TS or run anything in TeamSite, it is all outside TeamSite.

If you have LiveSite, then you can, but it will require development. So if you have a staff who knows what they are doing you can try it.

Fair enough -- you have stated that you are not technical. However, the problem and the potential solution you have stated requires somebody who has at least some broad level of technology knowledge / background.

TeamSite is a content management system for your intranet, internet, extranet websites. Any add-on modules on TeamSite side would be to enhance the content management (authoring, editing, publishing, etc.) process. Now your end site is a whole different ball game. Interwoven has a product called LiveSite that could build and run your end website. You could build just about anything: polls, blogs, forums, etc. Some features are available out-of-the-box, some are contributed here on devnet, and rest you can build yourself.

BTW: LiveSite is not a Perl based product.

HTH!

Thanks to both of you for the clarification and great explanation.
