    How to enable the SharePoint 2010 and 2013 Developer Dashboard for specific Web Application or Site collection(not for all Web Application)?
    Vishal Goyal

    Hi Vishal,
    I don't think there is option for specific site collection or web application,but there is option of enabling developer dashboard on specific master pages and that is one on of the way you could do it.
    look article on below link to enable developer dashboard on specific master pages

  • How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the active directory. How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list with all sharepoint user profiles

    How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
    I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
    another one with all users.
    I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
    Thanks
    sz

    While
    the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
    information that are already in the system?  Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list. 
    Here’s our plan:
    Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
    Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
    Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
    Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
    Let’s get going!  Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer.  I also want to give credit Laura
    Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
    Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step.  I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
    So obviously we need a contacts list.  If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
    From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
    So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010.  Let’s add our elements to the form. 
    Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
    Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon.  This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
    Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above.  With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon. 
    Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
    You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
    We should end up with something like this:
    Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
    Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
    Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
    For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL.  Click Next.
    Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
    For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName.  Click Next.
    Click Next on the next two screens.
    On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
    Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
    Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
    Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
    Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
    In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
    Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom.  At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
    (Secondary) option.  Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName.  Click ok. 
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
    connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW.  At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form).  Expand this, then pc:Person,
    and highlightAccountId.  Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
    If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user.  So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for.  We take the AccountID field from the people
    picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection. 
    Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
    In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
    We’re closing in on our goal.  Let’s see our progress.  We should see something like this:
    Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form.  The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate.  We need to add an action step for
    each field.  I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields.  Let’s update the Job Title field.
    Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Highlight the field Job Title.
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
    drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option.  Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field.  Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
    Data button, then Add. 
    For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group.   The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
    under PropertyData.  Click Ok. 
    In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text.  Then type the text Title. 
    Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane.  The last previous screen will look like this.
    We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory.  You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc.  For the other fields, the
    steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change.  Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
    We’re all done, good work!  You can preview the form and try it now.  Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form.  Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library.  Click File –> Quick
    Publish.  Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
    Now open your form in SharePoint.  From the contact list, click Add new item.  Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

  • I am not able to access the sharepoint:80 site using the local IP address.

     I am able to access the Central administration using the Local LAN IP address and the port number, but, I am not able to access the sharepoint:80 site using the same local IP address without the port for the central administration. I tried adding
    the local IP address in the Alternative Access Mapping to no avail. Any ideas, where I should look, is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    By my test, I set the Alternative Access Mapping for the SharePoint 80 port web application as below and it works fine:

  • Content parsing of the sharepoint 2010 doc library documents

    Can we parse the content of document(word,excel, ppt, pdf) which is uploaded to the SharePoint 2010 library.
    My requirement is to check that if there is any word (which is sensitive) and matches to my regexp should be blocked while adding the item or updating the item in the library.
    Is there any out of the box feature available to parse the content or how can we do it pro-grammatically.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to check the document content when item adding or updating.
    We can create an Event Receiver for the document library and we can use Open XML framework to read documents in
    ItemAdding and ItemUpdating methods.

  • I just downloaded photoshop elements 7.0 to a new box and it tells me that my serial number is not valid.  the adobe support team says the number is valid, but that they can't help me

    i just downloaded photoshop elements 7.0 to a new box and it tells me that my serial number is not valid. the adobe support team says the number is valid, but that they can't help me

    Which operating system are you using?
    When you say downloaded, where did download pse 7 from?
    Do you have the original install disk or original download for pse 7?
    I believe the serials won't interchange between the disk version of pse 7 and the electronic down load version.

  • Preset default value of DropDown based on Content Type selection in the SharePoint 2010 library

    Hi,
    I have three site content types (Admin, Technical & Well) derived from base content type "Base" and added this content types to "Documents" library. I also have one site column "Category"(Dropdown) with values (Admin, Technical
    & Well) which is available in all the content types.
    Now, when i try to create a document based on "Admin" content type then "Category" value should be preset to "Admin", similarly when i select "Technical" content type then "Category" should be preset to "Technical"
    and same with "well".
    Can some one provide me how i can achieve this?
    I am working in the SharePoint 2010 environment.
    Regards,                                                                      
                                          Chakradhar

    My understanding is that , you have to display the category in all the content types.
    So in that case create a content type like
    Create a base content type -- with column category.
    Create a Admin content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in admin content.
    Create a Technical content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Technical content type.
    Create a Well content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Well content type.
    Do you want to create using sharepoint ui or code(visual studio)?

  • External Monitoring...how is it for you and what for the future (CS5)

    With the prospect of CS5 on the horizon and many of us considering it as the opportunity to up spec O.S,, software and hardware simultaneously (largely due to 64-bit)...I am wondering how everyone is getting on with their external monitoring solutions and what the expectation is for CS5.
    In my opinion the way it is now (in CS4) is less than professional and needs sorting out (hopefully in CS5).
    Issues are : Video / audio / synching internal and external devices so all play together.
    Premiere Pro runs two playback / preview systems : One for scrubbing and source monitoring;  the other for Program playback /preview.
    (Example : Observe how and when audio plays through the audio mixer or observe what and when video plays through external or internal monitor...then note what happens when you PUSH PLAY - spacebar)
    Without repeating the problems in depth, I would like to say how I wish it worked for me as an editor in a Pro environment with clients that  sit in my suite as we work together.
    I have  a two monitor NLE set up plus one external for client viewing (and also for grading /CC).
    I need the External Monitor (Video & Audio)  and the Internal Monitor (Video and Audio) to playdown together.  I dont want one to stop and the other to function.
    I want them both working simultaneously playing video and audio.  Am I supposed to get out of my chair to wander over to the client monitor to see the changes we just discussed then I actioned in the timeline?  !!!!!!
    A feature request : I would also like to be able to access the Playback Monitoring via Shortcut keys or On Screen buttons.  It is very handy to be able to playback on the second monitor  but it should be defaulted at 100% (Not Fit - as per the Program Monitor)
    As regards HD.  One should not have to install 3rd Party cards to monitor HD externally.  The problem with that is one then needs to use the Presets from that card manufacturer.  The Presets , eg P2 work so well in PPRO...so why do we need to mess with 3rd party drivers just to monitor.

    Exactly!
    I just like to let people know where is the origin of that shortcut (in previous CS editions it was in PROJECTS menu bar tab, and since CS4 it is in SEQUENCE menu bar tab....
    I was trying to figure out what do you thing my "atom like button" )))
    Finally figured out that it is the RGB icon (which is more the molecule then atom), but you gave me a hard time looking for atom!!! I thought it is in 3rd place, somewhere, as well - but "Atom" almost remained misteri
    Anyway, interestingly enough, I just succeeded in getting my picture out on EXTERNAL CRT monitor through DV-monitoring in playback settings - FireWire through my scope (deck) and to TV....
    And picture appeared.... But stood still.... Wouldn't move.... except when scrubbing... But when press PLAY it froze both on external DV monitor and  PPRO program monitor in software!!!
    Maybe it is my old ATI 3850 HD VGA - and maybe it just can't work!!!!
    This pisses me off a bit!!!
    I have unpacked copy of new AVID MEDIA COMPOSER 5 - which I have decided not to install until I am through with searching all new possibilities in CS5....
    But now, I feel more and more like opening and installing it ----- Just to see how is it managed there!!!
    It is hard for me ---- even to think to leave ADOBE ------ it is already enough that 80% of my Clients first ask me "DO YOU HAVE AVID".... and then, to half of them I somehow explain that it is gonna be better if we give ADOBE a chance, and the other half is just hard on their flexibility --- they've heard everything in Hollywood is edited in AVID, so they want their project to be the same....
    And I was having a real hard time defending PPRO for years, preventing my Clients to make me switch to AVID - and look what ADOBE did to me now - ADOBE made me reach for my AVID MC v5 and install it and have it ready to take over any project, including the one I am working on right now!
    Why, Adobe, Oh, Why!?

  • Free Drum Loops for you to play with

    Hey all:
    In the holiday spirit of giving back to the community, etc., etc., I thought maybe you all would enjoy some badass drum loops to play around with in Soundtrack Pro (my all-time favorite Apple program).
    So here goes:
    This is a zip file containing an array of drum loops with which to play around.
    http://www.21ca.com/drums/FrankColeman-DrumLoops01-162bpm.zip (about 11MB)
    They're at 162 bpm, but they'll survive having the tempo manipulated.
    Here's volume 2:
    http://www.21ca.com/drums/FrankColeman-DrumLoops02-136bpm.zip (about 20MB)
    These were done at 136 BPM. A somewhat darker styling than the last batch, but you can manipulate them any which way, of course.
    No effects added to any of these, so feel free to dirty them up any way you like.
    This is my vintage chrome Slingerland kit, from a session last year. I did 11 tracks in 90 minutes, by myself, to a click, so there's lots more where this came from.
    Well-recorded (at The Cutting Room Studios NYC) and tightly edited (by me), so they'll drop right into Soundtrack or any other loop-savvy program.
    If you end up using them for something meaningful, all I ask is proper attribution and send me a copy. I'd be fascinated to hear what you come up with. More to follow.
    Enjoy!

    - From the Window menu, select Layouts/Standard (or use function key F1), just to be sure you can see all the relevant panels.
    - First, set up the project properly:
    - In the top left hand panel, click on the Project tab. Scroll down within the Project pane and make the following selections:
    Ruler Units: Beats
    Tempo: whatever you like
    Key: - (blank/none)
    From the View Menu, select Snap (should be checked).
    - In the bottom right panel (Browser), navigate to the folder where the loops are saved.
    - In the lower center pane, click on the "Bin" tab.
    - Drag 'n' Drop the files from the Browser to the Bin. Now you can drag them from the bin to a Track and start playing around. Alternately, you can drag them from the Browser to a track and they will show up automatically in the Bin.

    i was happy, media keys working perfectly and all, but 1 month ago, i had to install WMP to run a diferent format that itunes dont support and after that day, my media keys stop working for itunes, first i think it war my keyboard(microsoft laser 5000) and a software conflict.
    but now i buy a razer blackwidow ultimate(yesterday) and still dont working...
    i spend all my weekend trying to figure out whats the problem, but i dont know.
    i tried tutorials for similar problems, but noting worked...
    and now the media keys arent working even on WMP
    I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!

    Hi Josh
    Thanks for this useful information and for the report about your experience.
    I have already noticed this Toshiba Value Added Package for Vista and have already read the More info .
    This option provides details about the single drivers and tools. For Toshiba Value Added Package I found this:

  • X-FI working for you bf2 playe

    If it does work, pleace state your system spec's
    Mobo manifacturer and chipset first and foremost.. kkthnx =)

    Works, but with some pops and crackles. Got x-fi xtreme music with the heatsink, three numbers are 547, no rev letter on the box/card.
    Also noticed that if the cmss-3d is anabled, the popping and crackling is much worse (happens even while walking). If that is turned off, crackles happen during artilery strikes and other sudden exploding sounds. BTW my audio settings in game are medium with eax turned on and x-fi selected from the drop down menu.
    They better fix these popping issues, its an expensi've card and yet it works much worse than cheap ones in many instances. Fairly disappointed.
    Remember I said to myself back in the sound blaster li've days that that would be my last product (because incidentally that card also had popping and crackling), so i stayed well clear from creative sound cards until x-fi.
    Read loads of positi've revies and decided to take the plunge only to find out that little has changed from the old days.

  • How to upgrade the extended web application for FBA from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010?

    Hi All,
    Currently my farm version is MOSS 2007 with SP3.
    I have a web application on port 80, and is based on windows authentication, and i extend it on the port 90, and the authentication is FBA with SqlServer.
    I know that SharePoint 2010 has a new claims based authentication, and in a single web application you can do both windows authentication and FBA.
    Now i want to know, when i migrate the MOSS 2007 port 80 and port 90, which method should i choose?
    1. in SharePoint 2010 farm, Create  a classic based web application on port 80, and extend it on port 90, enable FBA on port 90. It is the same as MOSS 2007.
    2. in SharePoint 2010 farm, Create a claims based web application, and enable both windows authentication and FBA.
    Thanks.

    FBA requires claims so you'll need to create a claims based web application. Whilst you might extend the site to give you a FBA portal the web application itself will have to be claims based.
    I would definitely be looking at using a database attach upgrade path in your case to give you the opportunity for testing as moving between authentication providers can be painful.

  • Easy for you but hard for me

    I am sure this will be a simple issue for you, but I am not an experienced Oracle person. I run SQL reports from an Oracle database every night for work. Now my bosses have put a large LCD monitor on the production floor and want the data from the Oracle DB to be shown on the monitor. They would like it presented in easy to read graphs or something that can be understood by a non technical person. The data must update around every 15 minutes. As I said, I have the SQL scripts already and I am wondering if there is an application I can use to do this sort of thing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is one of the shorter SQL scripts and a few lines of the results from that script:
    SELECT distinct Unit_status.serial_number, to_char(Unit_status.modified_date, 'DD/MON/YY'), Unit_status.model
    FROM
    unit_status
    WHERE Unit_status.process = 'FQA'
    AND Unit_status.pass_fail_indicator = 'P'
    and unit_status.modified_date between
    to_date('17-FEB-08 00:00','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') and to_date('23-FEB-08 23:59','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI')
    SERIAL_NUMBER     TO_CHAR(UNIT_STATUS.MODIFIED_D     MODEL
