SharePoint 2013 - blog upgrade

Hi,
I did an upgrade of SharePoint 2010 to 2013. Most things work fine, but I have some issues with upgrading a blog. I got these scenarios:
I upgrade the blog in 2010 design, everything works fine, until I make a visual upgrade to 2013. After visual upgrade the blog still seems to be fine, but when I select a category to filter categories, all links are broken. So f.e. I klick a category linked
to "Lists/Kategorien/Category.aspx?CategoryId=15&Name=Firewall" for category "Firewall", all results are linked to "Lists/Kategorien/". Even the categories in navigation are now linked to "Lists/Kategorien/".
To solve this I tried various export/import settings, with features enabled/disabled, but no success. ULS Log didn't show usefull informations at this time. So the Question: Why do I experience this behavior? Any idea to solve this?
I get a different error, when I try to import the blog, when the site collection has publishing feature enabled. Than I don't even can access any blog site, I get an error: sorry that didn't work. On export site is publishing feature enabled, dunno
why I can't just import here.
Hopefully I can get some help here. Best solution for me is to get error 1 fixed, I don't need publishing features. SharePoint 2010 was installation with SP1 and CU august 2012.
Thanks for help

I experienced this issue after removing the Blog Tools web part from the page. Once I added it back, the issue was resolved.

Blog Notifictions web part

Within my SharePoint 2013 site, I have a blog subsite, within my main site I see a Blog Notifications web part that I can add to my home page. The description for that web part is {Provides quick links to register for blog posts notifications using Alerts
or RSS feed}, I created an RSS feed from my blog site, however, how can I show it within the Blog Notification web part? When I go to edit web part there is nothing there to configure it to read something.
I know how to read the blogs from an CQWP, however, I was hoping to use the blog notifications web part.
can I even use it or is a useless web part?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to how to use Blog Notification web part in SharePoint 2013.
Per my knowledge, the Blog Notification web part should be used in blog site and it can provide quick links to see the RSS Feed and create alerts for the blog posts.
After adding the Blog Notifications web part in blog site, it will display RSS Feed and Alert Me quick links in the page, please refer to the picture below:
Best regards.

Display count for each category in sharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have added category list in the left side as web part in SharePoint 2013 blog site.
Here i want to show the count for each category. And on clicking on the category, it should show the blog posts related to that category.
Is there any way to do this.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi Aditi,
To show item counts on a list, you might need to query the list by title in the navigation menu and retrieve item count in the list, then use CSS to add the number to navigation menu. You need to use Client Object Model and JQuery.
Here are similar issues:

SharePoint 2013 Blog - Modify Summary View

I am using SharePoint 2013. I need to modify the blog posts to show extra fields and exclude others. When I initially tried to edit the "Current View" for the web part, I got an error. I switched the view to "All Posts", then
switched back to "Summary View" and the error went away. Now with I try to edit the Summary View, I just get a blank page with no fields to select.
Is there any other way to modify the "Summary View" for the blog posts web part for 2013?

You can customize the summary webpart using the SharePoint designer.

Is it possible to show a 'My Activity' web part on a SharePoint site if 'My Sites' is not available?

Is it possible to show a 'My Activity' web part on a SharePoint site if 'My Sites' is not available?
For example, say there's a SharePoint installation dedicated to particular (custom) SharePoint site. The users go to the site to carry out their tasks. There's no 'My Site' set up in this installation (and for other reasons I'm told it's not an option).
Is it possible to show a web part here that shows the user's recent activity? The built-in web part for this fails with the error 'Invalid URI: The URI is empty', and the details of it appear to say it's looking for the user's My Site to find out what to show:
SPMicrofeedContext.SetMySiteHostForContext failed System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The URI is empty. at System.Uri.CreateThis(String uri, Boolean dontEscape, UriKind uriKind) at Microsoft.Office.Server.Microfeed.SPMicrofeedContext.SetMySiteHostForContext()
So, while I'd be happy to write a web part (or app part) to display the information instead of using the default part, I'm not sure SharePoint is even storing the activity in a way I can access.
Some pages like the following: http://sharepointmystery.com/2012/07/22/activity-feeds-in-sharepoint-2013/ make me think it won't be possible - it says: 'The major change from 2010 is that all the [activity] content is stored in the user’s personal site, not
in a common database.'
Are activity feeds dependent on 'My Sites' or is there a way to access the information when 'My Sites' is not present in the deployment? I can't find a definitive answer in Microsoft's documentation.

To clarify, do you have the User Profile Service (including MySite Host) up and running on this environment? That's subtley different to the full MySite experience which is clearly not applicable...
Interesting question - thanks for that. Until now I didn't realise there was a difference.
The User Profile Service is up and running, but no MySite Host is set. (I don't believe MySite will be available anywhere here. I guess that means there's no valid MySite Host for me to use.)
Many thanks,
Geoff

Facebook moderator in SharePoint 2013 Blog commenting.

Hi,
I was able to put Facebook commenting in SharePoint 2013 blog but i was not able to see moderator view when i add meta tags in head with my facebook user id.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="{YOUR_FACEBOOK_USER_ID}"/>
is there something extra we need to configure to see moderator view in SharePoint 2013.
Thanks,

Office web apps Server for Sharepoint 2013

Hello,
I used the following article to install office web apps server and hook it up to a test sharepoint server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455(v=office.15).aspx. The OWAS service was verified as working by loading:
https://owas.companyname.com/hosting/discovery
For the sharepoint configuration phase, the following commands were run on the sharepoint machine:
1) New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName "owas.companyname.com" -- (owas.companyname.com) is the host name of the owas server)
2) Get-SPWOPIZone
3) Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-https"
However, office documents are still launching in the desktop office applications, not in the browser. Any ideas of what else I may need to do?
thanks,
Sherazad

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you fail to configure Office Web Apps for your SharePoint 2013.
How about run Get-SPWOPIZone? If you can get a result, it says that your SharePoint have connected with Office Web Apps.
Then you can run below command to change the zone to internal-https.
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "internal-https"

Excel Web Access Web Part on O365 SharePoint...

Excel Web Access Web Part on O365 SharePoint seems to run VERY slow on excel oData SharePoint list query/refresh.
Is there anything that can be done to speed this? Thanks

Hi Alan,
O365 SharePoint is hosted on the Microsoft cloud, we cannot check what may cause Excel oData query/refresh very slow, I would recommend you post this issue in our dedicated O365 forum for a better assistance. If the issue is related to O365 SharePoint
server side, there may involve
O365 back end support engineer to look into this issue.

SharePoint 2013 Blog Site or Discussion LIst - Comment on a Comment

Hi,
Quick question. Is anyone aware of a plug-in or feature or new blog add-in for SP 2013 that allows "comments on comments". From what I can tell in the blog site and discussion list, you can only comment on the original comment.
You cannot comment on someone else's comment as in a tiered fashion.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Thanks! Patti N.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to be able to comment on someone else’s comments displayed in a hierarchical structure.
In SharePoint 2013, it’s by default that the Discussion Board list’s replies are in the “Flat” view, and it won’t display the replies in a hierarchical structure.
However, the Discussion Board list have another default view is the “Threaded” view, and it can display replies in a hierarchical structure.
Therefore, I recommend that you can directly modify the default view of the Discussion Board list’s replies to the “Threaded” view to achieve your requirement.
For SharePoint 2013 Blog site, as a workaround, I suggest that you also can create a Discussion Board list into it to implement this function.
Best Regards,
Yumi Fu

Using Outlook Web App Web Parts in Exchange Server 2013 - OWA ? Possible?

Using Outlook Web App Web Parts in Exchange Server 2013 - OWA ? Possible?
We recently upgraded from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
The links that used OWA Web parts have completely stopped working and generate the " :( something went wrong contact your help desk" screen for domain Authenticated users other than myself. The links accessed content of a Shared Account of which
I am an owner and can set the necessary permissions using the Outlook 2013 client.
Using the example from the link provided below we were able to provide calendar access to all authenticated users in our area. The link for calendar still works for me but for noone else. Additionally, all navigation menus are missing when I use this link.
<server>/owa/<SMTP address>/?cmd=contents&module=calendar&view=weekly name
Another crafted link provided web access to our group's task list. This has completely stopped working for anyone including myself. However, when I use "open another mailbox" I am able to navigate to the needed pages.
<server name>/owa/<SMTP address>/?cmd=contents&module=tasks
These links were crafted using advice provided from this provided link.
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232199(v=exchg.141).aspx
Is it still possible to use Outlook Web App Web Parts in Exchange Server 2013 - OWA?
Or
Is this a misconfiguration of some sort?
My IT support has given up and closed out the ticket stating that maybe Microsoft will fix this someday...

Hello,
At present, there is no official article to verify whether we can use Outlook Web App Web Parts in Exchange Server 2013. In exchange online, the Outlook Web App Parts is supported.

Hi, you said this feature is supported in Exchange Online (I understand you're referring to Office 365). Can you please point me to some documentation as I was trying to use it with my E3 account and it doesn't seem to work?
What I'm trying to acomplish is something similar to our old URL (Exchange 2010) in Office 365:
https://ourserver.mydomain.com/owa/[email protected]/?cmd=contents&module=calendar&view=monthly
The best I can do in Office 365 is this:
https://outlook.com/owa/mydomain.com/[email protected]/#path=/calendar
But it's clearly not the same and Office 365 ignores all the information I add to the URL. I would greatly appreciate something in the line of the document referred by 'MarquetteENG' (technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232199(v=exchg.141).aspx)
Thanks.

Get the current context of the site where web-part is added in the same site collection

Hi,
I'm creating a visual web-part in SharePoint 2013 using server object model (can't user COM as the code will run on the same server) to get all the members of "Members" group of the site/web wherever this web-part
will be added (in the same site-collection), so it will take the context of the site wherever it is added.
For Eg: I have a site collection "http://<Server_name>/sites/Finance" OR "http://<Server_name>/sites/Finance/Microsoft" OR some other subsite. I have used SPContext.Current property to get the current context
, but no success :( .
I tried in SPSite: SPContext.Current.Site ; new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.URL) and many other combinations with SPSite.
in SPWeb : site.openweb()
But I'm always getting the URL as "http://<Server_name>/" and not the context where the web-part is added in the same site collection.
Vipul Jain

Hi Bjoern,
Thanks for the reply. I'm able to get the access of members group through API's. Just wanted to know about the context in SPSite & SPWeb. As you suggested , is there no need to use SPSite ?
using (SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web)
SPGroup membersGroup = web.Groups[web.Name + " Members"];
SPUserCollection lstMembers = web.Groups[web.Name + " Members"].Users;
foreach (SPUser member in lstMembers)
// add all the group users to the list
users.Add(member.Name);
It's not working

SharePoint 2013 My Site About Me section doesn't save.

I'm having a problem with the "About me" field in SharePoint 2013 My Sites.
I can enter a value and "Save all and close" and everything appears just fine. However, if I go to edit my profile again the About me section appears blank on the edit screen. So, if I make a change to any other profile field and save,
the information I entered initially in About me disappears.
I check in both Central Administration and directly in the user profile database and Central Admin recognizes that one profile is using that property (we're in pre-production) and the text I entered appears in Property ID 16 in the UserProfileValue
table... but as soon as I edit and re-save my profile the value disappears on the back end. It appears the data is submitted to the profile database and displayed on the profile but it is not populated back to the edit screen form and
is therefore overwritten with NULL values upon save.
Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?
