Replacing library with template deletes portlet preferences

Hi,
If I have to deploy a new version of our portal, with changes to the
.portal file I have to make a dummy desktop from the .portal file, and
then say yes to replace library with template. If I do this however all
my portlet preferences are resat to their default values. Are there
anyway to avoid this, or another way to get the library updated with the
newest version, without having to make a dummy desktop.

  • Corrupt document gets created in document library with document template using createlistitem workflowaction in visual studio workflow for office 365 solution

    Hi,
    My requirement is to create a document library associated to a custom content type with a document template associated. Also I need to create a document based on the template in this document library when a new item is created in another list by taking the
    reference ID of that new Item , I need to create the document with the name appended by ID. I need to do all this deployment using WSP.
    I have created document library with document template associated to content type by following instructions in below stated blog :http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chaks/archive/2011/05/19/deploying-a-document-template-file-in-content-type-in-a-office365-sandboxed-solution.aspx
    This works perfect for me.
    However, there are few observations, when going to Document Library > Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Document Template section - doesnt shows the Edit template link. When tried to look at the value for the document template using view source
    , it is giving me /Lists/MyDocsListInstance/Forms/template.dotx instead of the actual template file uploaded.
    Ignoring the above observation, when I am trying to create a sandbox based workflow in visual studio to create document in document library when new item is created in another list, I provide the ContentTypeID as the ID associated with the document library
    with template. 
    It creates the corrupt document at end of workflow. 
    I have tried using .docx instead of .dotx files for workflow as per solution provided in some of the post but it isnt resolving my issue.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
    Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
    successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
    I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
    What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
    library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
    I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
    things that go through this evolution.

  • Problem with templates in Dreamweaver...

    I'm using Dreamweaver 8 and here is my dilema... Originally I
    had my
    template named something different. I changed the name of the
    template and
    now my other pages that run off that template wont work
    because of this
    code...
    <html><!-- InstanceBegin
    template="/Templates/index2.dwt"
    codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <head>
    I obviously changed the name of the template so it is no
    longer index2.dwt.
    The problem is is that this code doesn't actually show up in
    the template
    itself it shows up in the pages that are using that template.
    I want to
    know how I go about changing this bit of code in all my pages
    that use the
    template without having to do it by hand. There must be an
    easy way?
    Thanks!

    How do i put tv programmes and videos from itunes to another iphone, without having to delete all data on the phone and replacing it with my library? i switched the 'sync only ticked songs and videos' yet it still wont let me transfer videos from my itunes onto my new phone, any ideas??

    Copy the entire itunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • I recently had my hard drive replaced and now iTunes won't allow me sync my iPhone without deleting all the media contents and replacing it with the existing library. Is there another way without erasing everything?

    I have already backed up my iPhone, yet it still will not allow me to move the contents of my phone onto my computer. Rather, it wants to delete everything off of my phone and replace it with the contents on my iTunes. Is there a way I can integrate both my iTunes and iPhone? There used to be autofill on iTunes, but I can no longer find it.

    Hello there, DollyVong.

  • How to replace Match library with new library

    Been using iTunes as my music manager/player since 2003. Currently have about 5,000 songs which are a mix of selective CD song rips, iTunes purchases and Amazon Mp3 downloads. Lots of missing artwork, incomplete albums, wrong genres, etc. I use iTunes Match to sync across multiple Macs and iOS devices, including 3 Apple TVs. It all works OK, but I recently undertook a major project to re-rip all of my CDs/Box Sets in their entirety – about 20,000 tracks. I performed the new rips on a Mac Mini running Windows 7 in BootCamp using Roxio Creator to get a 'universal' Mp3 (256kbs) format and keep everything separate and apart from my current iTunes/Match libraries. Total library size came out around 80-85GB, saved on an external USB HDD.
    Recently had my iMac 1TB HDD replaced under Apple’s recall program and looked at it as an opportunity to totally rebuild my iTunes library from scratch using the new, complete album rips. I’ve loaded the new 80GB library onto the iMac and am currently using TuneUp Media to ‘clean up’ metadata and album artwork on the new library. I've turned off iTunes Match to isolate the iMac during this stage of the process.
    When cleanup is complete, I would like to totally replace my current iTunes Match library with the new larger library. I think the songs will sync OK, but I’ve put a lot if effort into cleaning up the album artwork and am afraid that, if I don't take some precautions, iTunes Match will overrule and mess up my new artwork when I activate it.
    My plan is to
    From the iMac, first copy (or should I export) the entire rebuilt library to an external drive as a backup, hopefully preserving all of the artwork and metadata corrections in the process (true?).
    On my MacBook Pro, copy my current Match library to a different external drive to ensure preservation of any unique tracks I may have missed in building the new library. Then delete the entire library – both local and Cloud. I should then have an empty iTunes Match library, correct?
    Then, on my iMac, activate iTunes Match and let it upload/match all the new songs/data to create a new Cloud library with all the new albums, descriptors and artwork.
    Do I need to individually deactivate Match and delete local libraries on all my other devices also, or does the total Cloud library delete I perform on my MacBook Pro then transfer to all my other registered iOS and OSX devices that have Match activated?

    Quick question, Michael
    When I copy the iTunes  folder to an external drive, does all the iTunes metadata and associated album artwork travel together with the raw music file?

    A family member has given me her iPhone. How do I delete her Apple ID and replace it with my own ?

    Any Apps that have been downloaded with her Apple ID will remain Tied to that ID...
    You should consider doing a Restore as New and start over with your ID...
    Connect the Device to the iTunes library on your Computer, click on the Device tab that appears in iTunes and click Restore.

    Thanks bmw249. I have good news and bad news. Good news: Apple very quickly deauthorized my computers so I was able to drop the lost computer that was taking up a slot and (I suspected) confusing iTunes Match.
    The bad news is that this didn't make any difference. Nearly all the songs in my iTunes library have an iCloud status of "error" and when I turn on iTunes Match, it churns for a while before telling me that I already have 25,000 songs in the cloud and can't add any more. What I expected is for it to recognize that most of the 25K songs are the very same ones sitting in this local iTunes library. It should be substantially fewer than 25K because I also deleted 1000+ classical music pieces that I have sitting in Amazon Cloud, in hopes of freeing up space for my recently purchased and created music to be uploaded to iCloud. But no dice.
    I am now downloading ~800 songs that iTunes thinks I have only on iCloud. I then plan to figure out how to deactivate iCloud and iTunes Match on this PC so that nothing will be deleted locally when I cancel my iCloud account (it runs out in March 2013 but I assume I can cancel and deactivate the account sooner). The "convenience" of this service isn't worth the many dozens of hours of hours I have spent trying to get it to work the way Apple says it works. Amazon Cloud (also costing ~$25 a year) has a limit of something like 20 GB and no specific limit on number of songs. I buy most music there anyway and have already uploaded most of the rest, so this makes the most sense. I really like the way iTunes Match can (in theory) keep all my music sync'd and smoothly stream to my iPhone even over 3G. Amazon Cloud takes a bit more effort but does much the same thing.
    Thanks for listening. I'm assuming this is a "moderated" forum and that this post will soon be removed for my Amazon comments. 

  • There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.

    Absolutely INFURIATING.
    I have spent absolute hours building a photo album for the first year or my sons life. Sorting through quite literally thousands and thousands of images. Got a brilliant looking album using 177 of them.
    Now everytime I try to check out it won't get past page 1 of building the book.
    It says the following "There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.".
    The images all look perfect. I have even tried taking them out and re adding the first page images from the library.
    Same problem.
    This is so annoying. So far I have NOT been happy with this iphoto application having nothing but problems with missing thumbnails. Corrupted images. Things that have never happened to me using a windows machine.

    Do the filenames contain special characters, like "ä,ü,..." or white space or are the vry long? Is there anything special about the image format? Try to export the edited versions in that case and reimport it with a different, shorter filename.
    For testing, create a new book with only the images you want to check.
    If this does not fix it, try rebuilding. Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library.

  • How to Replace wife's iPhoto Library with Mine

    My wife hasn't put much in her iPhoto library so she asked me to transfer over a copy of mine which is extensive from my account on my MBP to her account on her Mac Pro.  Should I (1) delete her library, replace it with a copy of mine or (2) download and use the iPhoto Library Manager thingy?
    Thanks, Ralph

    You can do either. But if you literally want to replace hers with yours then copying it over is the way to go.

  • Portlet Preferences - Any way to define templates or bulk load ?

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding portlet preferences. We have need to store metadata
    about a portlet and this metadata is the same for all portlets inside the portlet.
    As we will have in excess of 300 portlets which is expected to rise to around
    2000 - 3000 in the future, it will be incredibly tedious for the portal admin
    to create the preferences for each one (for such items as portlet owner, portlet
    administrator etc)
    Is there a template facility (a bit like user profiles) where we can set up the
    definition with fields and values etc, and apply to a portlet. Or failing that
    a bulk load capability where we can just populate the DB using the portlet_definition_id
    or portlet_instance_id in the preference tables ?
    We are on SP2 by the way.
    TIA

    Thanks Subbu,
    That worked.....can you keep us updated on any movement with the SPI as this is
    something that of us very definite importance to us.....

    menu it just gives me 'Remove' and the list is empty. It does not offerthe 'Create'
    Option. I must be missing somethingTry dragging "Preference" from the palette.
    Also even if we could do it at create time in workshop these will bethe same
    for all portlets in the Portal and thus this would need to be doneevery time
    manually and that would leave room for mistakes and people missingfields etc.
    We are looking at a very large number of portlets...
    What would be really nice is to define a 'preferences' property setas user profile
    etc and then
    just apply it...thus not leaving room for errors etc.....
    At this time, the API does not support this scenario. We're considering
    an SPI for a future release, and we'll make sure this scenario gets
    addressed.

    Any thoughts.....?

    Have you considered specifying preferences for each portlet while
    creating the portlet in WLW? The recommended approach is to create
    preferences while creating the portlet as the portlet developer ismore
    likely to know what preferences are required and the implications.If
    the default values entered by the portlet developer are meaningful,
    portal admins won't have to change these values.

    Each Apple ID has it's own library in iTunes.  If you tried to sync his music to your device, then it will not only wipe your information on your phone, but can affect your sons.  Make sure you are logged into iTunes with your Apple ID and restore your device from a previous backup.

  • The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

    My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
    I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
    I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
    document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
    an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
    When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
    I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
    Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

    I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
    1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
    (you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
    2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
    ("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
    3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
    (I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
    Hope this helps you!
