I am implementing a social share feature in to my website which has been created using sitefinity CMS.
For that I have created MVC widget which consist of the code to share via twitter, linkedin and so on. I have referred the following link to implement the same.
https://www.progress.com/blogs/make-your-website-content-shareable-with-social-media-sharing-buttons
To enrich the shared content I need to use open graph custom fields which I need to add on the page where the social share widget is used. However, when I go on to create custom field from page grid I cannot find a type "Social Media (OpenGraph)" inside the type dropdown list.
Note:Version I am using is Progress Sitefinity CMS 11.0.6701.0 Enterprise Edition and checked SEO and OpenGraph properties from settings in backend.
The OpenGraph field type has been added to Pages in Sitefinity version 11.1
See here: https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/111/release-notes

I am using Sitefinity 11, I have to show "Add to Compare" link under product. Here I am using ProductList Widget.
But I didn't find any tutorial/documentation for this.
Please guide me.
Thanks
There is no compare functionality for Sitefinity products.
You can add custom code(js) to set a cookie (session or local storage) with the items the user wants to compare. Then create a custom widget that grabs the cookie (or other) info. and displays the comparison.
It is possible to define pagination on document library?
I have a document library with more that 10000 documents... when I open the library occurs an timeout.
Actually SenseNet already does this! They just don't deliver it in the standard list control. If you open up the PRC and navigate to /Root/IMS/BuiltIn/Portal you'll see a list control with paging. The code can be found at /Root/Global/renderers/UserExploreGrid.ascx as User Control portlet. You can copy the code and change it to meet your needs.
Our company prefers to create User Control portlets and use Datatables with calls to the SenseNet OData API using skip and top to deliver pages.
Finally, given that SenseNet Content is stored as a tree structure (in SQL!), you can move the Content after creation so that data is organized hierarchically. A common solution is to take the first letter of the DisplayName and create a sub-folder from that letter, thereby reducing the number of items at a single node.
Here's what the paging looks like:
The short answer is no. Right now there isn't a built in functionality for that.
The long answer is that you can make a pagination yourself. One of the core member of sensenet made a grid where you can use pagination. It won't work with the current free to use releases because they lack the js files she used. But the idea behind it, is using a custom view. Which you can achieve by adding a system folder named Views under a the Document library and adding your custom view there.
You can use this grid for Explore, just follow these steps:
Go to the Explore action page, and switch editor mode on the PRC.
Place a ClientContext portlet (this can find under the Portlets->Application section in the portlet picker dialog) to the Wide column. Set portlet (client context porlet) properties, Apparance to None. It is a technical portlet, which allow get the CurrentContext in javascript. This is a very important element to work with this grid. The Grid use the client context.
Place a UserControlPortlet (In the portlet picker, Portlets->Application section) to the Wide Column.
Set portlet properties:
4.1. Portlet title: <%$ Resources: PortletTitles, Items%>
4.2. User Control path: /Root/Global/renderers/UserExploreGrid.ascx
Checkin Page modification on the PRC.
Enjoy your pageable explore portlet.
Keep in mind that this grid is specifically designed for users, so they will miss actions in the top menu. These must be handwritten. Then I suggest you copy the UserControl ( /Root/Global/renderers/UserExploreGrid.ascx)
and then put the action list on it . You can read more info about action list here: http://wiki.sensenet.com/ActionList

A few questions on customisation with Piranha CMS.
Is there a way to create additional custom site-wide items similar to those from the site helper? http://piranhacms.org/docs/api-reference/site-helper
e.g. to be able to set a phone number used throughout the site but still editable in the settings section of the manager.
Is is possible to create additional custom items for a page, e.g. page subtitle, and for those to appear in the Information section of page editing? Creating a region for say a page subtitle seems overkill.
Is it possible to create a custom page type with a region that is a collection of HtmlRegions or similar? e.g. for the purpose of managing a set of FAQs or similar enumerated content?
Is is possible to define custom settings properties for a page type?
Yes, you can add regions to your site in the same way as with page types under Settings > Sites. You then add content for them under Content > Pages > Edit Site.
You can add simple text properties on the page type. They will be shown as single line text inputs under Properties when editing the page.
No native support, however the region body can be anything that can be serialized to JSON so you have to handle this in the edit view for your region.
There is no support for injecting fields into the page settings, however if it's important you can override the whole edit view for pages and do anything you like by placing a copy of the view in the manager area in your local project. You can find the views in the github repo in the 2.2.5 branch.

I am currently developing an web application on Rails. I want the user to be able to create his own facebook page. I thought of creating custom Tab for him on my main application or page.
Can Graph API create Page Tabs programatically?
I do not believe that it is possible to actually create a new application via the API. This would open a flood gate for possible spam.
What you will be able to do is allow users to add your tab application to their page and then provide them with some customization. You can add a tab to a page programmatically with a post call similar to this -
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID/tabs
along with these parameters -
app_id - Tab application to be added.
access_token - An access token with permissions to manage the page (manage_pages).

I had a look at http://www.westernaustralia.com/au/Pages/Welcome_to_Western_Australia.aspx and I know it's a SharePoint site and I am wondering how it could have been made.
I am mostly interrested in the center column (What's On). Is it an announcement list with thumbnails and Find out more links are pointing to wiki pages? Could it be a custom web part or is it possible to do this sort of thing with SharePoint 2010 out of the box?
Thanks in advance.
You can do this easily with a "What's New" web part. Customize your library view setting and set your webpart to use that view. Add a simple content editor at the bottom of this web part and add those other links like View All etc...
Remember that you can create your own list and make sure to index it so that it can rollback into the What's New webpart.
Looking at the emitted HTML it looks like a custom user control in the page layout to me (hell I could be wrong)
That said though it is possible to do this OOTB and I could build that functionality using the Content Query Web Part and some custom XSL
