Adding a Left Navigation in the place of Current navigation in SharePoint 2013 Site.

Hi All,
I have successfully converted an HTML Page to a SharePoint 2013 Master Page. I also created a Custom Page Layout. Using both them I have created my SharePoint Site with 30+ pages. Each page is consisted with the Top Header Navigation as it is inheriting
from the Master Page I have used. Now I need the left navigation inherit from the master page also. It gives me the advantage of updating it from the master page and affects it through the entire SharePoint Site.
But at the moment I am inserting the Left Nav using a web part as an HTMl code snippet individually for each and every page. If needs a modification I have to go through all the pages and do the modification. This is not convenient also. I want to this left
nav like the SharePoint Current Navigation alternative but within my Page Layout.
Is there an option to chat within these forums?
Could someone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks and regards,
Chiranthaka

Hi Chiranthaka,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since
this forum is to discuss: Visual
Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
Based on your issue,
it is more related to the sharepoint, so I’m afraid that
it is not the correct forum for this issue.
In addition, I find that you have been posted this issue in this SharePoint forum:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7e3af32b-2bf8-41f5-9420-9265ed64458c/adding-a-left-navigation-in-the-place-of-current-navigation-in-sharepoint-2013-site?forum=sharepointgeneral ,
so we will merge this case to the above case, I think that the SharePoint expert will follow up your issue.
Thanks for your understanding.

MySite NewsFeed is not showing the feeds from a SharePoint 2013 site which followed programmatically

Hi Experts,
I am facing an issue with following SharePoint 2013 site programmatically. When i was followed a site programmatically, unable to see the posts from followed site in MySite NewsFeed. But i can able to see the followed site in the list of sites i am following.
If i did the same manually by clicking on Follow link on right top of the site, i can able to see the posts from the followed site in MySite NewsFeed.
Here is my code. I am doing this activity in an event receiver, while adding an user to the site.
SPSocialFollowingManager manager = new SPSocialFollowingManager(profile);
SPSocialActorInfo actorInfo = new SPSocialActorInfo();
actorInfo.ContentUri = new Uri(properties.Web.Url);
actorInfo.AccountName = targetUser.LoginName;
actorInfo.ActorType = SPSocialActorType.Site;
manager.Follow(actorInfo);
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to follow site programmatically in SharePoint 2013.
I suggest you debug the code step by step to check whether the variable is valid.
You can also create a simple console application to test whether it works.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
SPServiceContext serverContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(web.Site);
UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(serverContext);
string userString = user.LoginName.ToString();
UserProfile userProfile = profileManager.GetUserProfile(userString);
if (userProfile != null)
SPSocialFollowingManager manager = new
SPSocialFollowingManager(userProfile);
SPSocialActorInfo actorInfo = new SPSocialActorInfo();
actorInfo.ContentUri = new Uri(web.Url);
actorInfo.AccountName = user.LoginName;
actorInfo.ActorType = SPSocialActorType.Site;
manager.Follow(actorInfo);

How to disable the selection of "Title and logo URL of a SharePoint 2013 site" from browser

how to disable the selection of "Title and logo URL of a SharePoint 2013 site" from browser or How can we able to set our custom default log to the sp2013 site using code.So that users are not allowed to change from browser again.
Thanks & Regards, Krishna

Hi Krishna,
For your issue, you need to deploy a farm solution using HideCustomAction to hide site settings link. For example to hide “Title, description, and logo” link you can use below code:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<HideCustomAction
GroupId="Customization"
HideActionId = "ProjectSettings"
Location = "Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings">
</HideCustomAction>
</Elements>

Upgrade the existing Moss 2007 licence to SharePoint 2013.

Our customer is using the Moss 2007 enterprise version with 500 CALs currently. They want to move to SharePoint 2013. I need to purpose the migration cost.
I am wondering -
does it possible to upgrade the existing Moss 2007 licence to SharePoint 2013.
Do customer has to purchase new licence?
Will existing licence help in any way if new licences are required?
Regards Restless Spirit

I assume you will have to purchase new licenses and you may get discount based on your company contract. Check below:

Navigation from OnePage to Another Page in MS Visio chart added in SharePoint 2013 Site

Dear All,
I have made Org Chart in MS Visio 2013 including multiple pages (sheets) & hyperlink provided to navigate from one page to another after clicking on particular box/Icon.
In Ms Visio, its working properly but when i have added this in SharePoint site then when clicking on hyper linked Box then instead of navigating to another page , it is downloading files.
Kindly let me know what should be done.

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
How do you upload the Visio file to SharePoint 2013? Upload the whole file directly or use the Visio 2013 build-in feature to save as to SharePoint site.
Which file format do you use? VSDX or VWD format (Visio Web Drawing)
Which browsers do you use?
If you did not use VWD format, I recommend you try to
save diagrams to SharePoint as Web drawings, we are using Visio Services to make the diagram available for people to view in a browser. Web drawings can have hyperlinks, multiple pages, and other features like a standard Visio drawing, including the
ability to connect to external data sources. (Based on my test, the method worked well for me, it would navigate hyperlink correctly among different pages)
Then, if we can navigate hyperlink correctly, and it becomes ”downloading mode“. This issue may be caused by the browsers add-ins. Please try to disable all the add-ins to test.
Hope it's helpful.

George Zhao

"an error occurred with data fetch. Please refresh the page and retry" when open sharepoint 2013 setting cog on IE

My SharePoint 2013 has issue opening the top left cog: On amy page, every time when I was trying to click the setting cog and my name, an alert box will pop out
(System does not allow me to insert images, so screenshot is here:)
http://www.sfu.ca/~siyuanz/2.PNG
And also, under some subsite, my ribbon is gray off (and I am sure this is not a permission issue)
Screenshot: http://www.sfu.ca/~siyuanz/1.PNG
I tried to fix them by change the "Compatibility View Settings" but it doesn't help
These issues only happen to my IE (chrome, fire fox work well)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had issue opening the top left cog.
I suggest you to check whether you restrict the site in your browser. Please follow the steps:
Open the site in the browner, click tool->Compatibility View Setting->Add the site to be displayed in Compatibility View.
Click Tool->Internet Options->Security->Trusted Sites.
Click Tool->Internet Options->Security->Restricted sites->Allowed level for this zone: Medium.
Click Tool->Internet Options->Security-> Custom Level -> Cookies->OK.
Click Tool->Internet Options-> Settings -> Privacy -> Block content on sites from services that could track my browsing ->Off.

Can't change the master page after upgrading to SharePoint 2013.

After upgrading our farm to SharePoint 2013 we are having trouble changing the master page for sites that don't have sub-sites. We are still using the v4 UI version, and that appears to be what is causing the problem. The error we get when going to /_layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
is:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.CodeBehind.AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
I took a peek at the source code for AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad and found that it references a CheckBox control that does not exist in the v4 ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
base.OnLoad(e);
this.EnsureChildControls();
if (!this.Page.IsPostBack)
this.LoadValues();
if (base.Web.Webs.Count == 0)
this.resetSystemMasterPageSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetAlternateCssSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
base.ConfigureCancelButton(this.BtnCancel);
If I manually add a checkbox control with the ID "resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox" to a hidden panel in the v4 copy of ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx the page works, but obviously this is not a best practice. How can we fix this without upgrading the UI version, which
we are not yet ready to do?

Thanks Mike - Could you please share what is your next step then? I also have custom master pages and layout but I am going to make new master page and layout in 2013 as we need to change the existing branding too. so, i upgrade the site collection. I understand
the Look and Feel will not persist after the upgrade but I am concern that at least the page should show the content on the page after the upgrade. The page had Calendar webppart on it but after the upgrade it is coming blank.
any suggestion?

Khushi

SharePoint 2013 Site Mailbox Disappear from the Outlook

Yesterday, I activated the Site Mailbox feature on a SharePoint Sub Site and then it synchronized and I found the Site Mailbox account in my Outlook mail list.
Today, It disappeared from the Outlook list, and when I right click on my Company's email account and choose (Manage All Site Mailboxes) I found an Empty list, although when I go to the sub site and click on the Site Mailbox it opens the OWA normally.
How can I troubleshoot it ?

I want to put this list to buttom of the table.
Are there any suggestions??

Hi!
1 question:
Is it so necessary to show only 4 records on each page?
I'm asking because if you show all of them on say, Overview.jsp page, you can place there checkboxes by selecting which you get the records that you want to manipulate(delete or whatever you want)
And haven't you tried to use Struts?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not launch report builder in the client machine.
Did you install the .Net 4.0 framework on your machine?
.Net 4.0 framework needed to be installed on each user's machine, you can install it, then check whether it works.

As this is the forum for SharePoint server on-premise, I’m not familiar with the Reporting service, for this issue, I recommend you can post a new question in the forum for SQL Server Reporting Services.

Parent (Global) and Current (Navigation) on the Same Page

Hello,
I am using the managed metadata feature in a SharePoint 2013 publishing site. I am trying to layout my navigation as shown in the diagram below. I can not find a publishing master page that implements this parent child relationship. My
top navigation is use the markup:
<PublishingNavigation:PortalSiteMapDataSource ID="topSiteMap" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" SiteMapProvider="GlobalNavigationSwitchableProvider" StartFromCurrentNode="false" StartingNodeOffset="0"
ShowStartingNode="false" TrimNonCurrentTypes="Heading"/>
<SharePoint:AspMenu ID="TopNavigationMenu" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" DataSourceID="topSiteMap" AccessKey="<%$Resources:wss,navigation_accesskey%>"
UseSimpleRendering="true" UseSeparateCss="false" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticDisplayLevels="1" AdjustForShowStartingNode="true" MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="1" SkipLinkText=""/>
I have tried using the same markup, using a different StartingNodeOffset and SiteMapProviders, for the side menu with no success.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create Parent (Global) and Current (Navigation) on the Same Page.
You can make quicklaunch work contextually like structural nav quicklaunch using Managed Metadata navigation. Please refer to:
Managed Metadata Navigation - How do you make quicklaunch work contextually like structural nav quicklaunch?
In addition, you can used JQuery and CSS to achieve staticlevel left navigation in SharePoint 2013.

Adding Attchement button inside create new discssion in SharePoint 2013 Discussion Board not from the Ribbon

all that i want to customize create a new discussion layout by adding new attach new document but not by using Ribbon

Hi,
For your issue, you can customize the layout for the discussion board new form with content editor web part.
For more information, you can refer to the blog:
http://www.markrackley.net/2013/08/29/easy-custom-layouts-for-default-sharepoint-forms/
http://www.shillier.com/archive/2013/03/26/uploading-files-in-sharepoint-2013-using-csom-and-rest.aspx
Actually in my opinion, the new file upload behavior in SharePoint 2013 is great. As we can click in the body and upload files via the ribbon INSERT tab.The
new 2013 discussion board allow attachments to be stored in any document libraries besides the default Site Asset library.
